Good to see another Isaac Asimov fan on Wikipedia. Seeing your new article on Far as Human Eye Could See inspired me to make the same sort of article on the two essay collections I have on my bookshelf, namely The Subatomic Monster and Fact and Fancy.

[edit] Blanking vs deleting
You can't delete an article by blanking it. Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to James Carr (Missouri politician). Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Zoz (t) 16:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IdeaSphere Inc.
A tag has been placed on IdeaSphere Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. StoptheDatabaseState 23:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
