==Background== |
|||
I am an American [[science fiction]] writer. I have lived and/or traveled all over the [[United States]]. I currently live in [[Bloomington, Indiana|Bloomington]], [[Indiana]]. |
|||
Eventually, I would like to settle in either New Orleans (probably in [[Algiers, New Orleans|Algiers]]) or somewhere in the southwest of [[Ireland]] (probably in [[County Kerry]]), both of which are near the top of my list of favorite places in the world. |

Thank you for your good work reviewing speedy deletion tags on new articles written by an unknown editor. As part of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-11-09/New pages experiment|this project]] I created an account with a dubious username and wrote ten referenced but badly formatted stubs about Antarctic mosses. Two of those articles were nominated for speedy deletion; you recognized that none of the account's edits were vandalism, blanked the speedy notices, and left a friendly welcome.
