User talk:Shunn

Hello, welcome to wikipedia! I'll have to add your works to my to-read list. Most recently I've read Speaker for the Dead, which IMO was great, and The Green Mile, which IMO was ok but not great. I'm always up for interesting reading, though. Who would you liken yourself to as an author (or would you? probably not, who likes to?)  --KQ

Hi, KQ! I'm not sure there's anyone I'd liken myself to, though I can cite writers who've had a great deal of influence on my work: Gene Wolfe, Tim Powers, Orson Scott Card, Michael Bishop, and Isaac Asimov would probably top the list. Note that this doesn't mean I'm placing myself in that class. I'm a big fan of Speaker for the Dead, though I think the series loses steam as it goes along. --b

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Shunn.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Shunn.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nephite
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policywill be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
