[edit] Notable?

Not entirely convinced of notability here...but not sufficiently unconvinced to launch an AFD either. I would note, however, that Wikipedia has a very explicit policy against writing an article about yourself, so I'd encourage User:MAndreOX to please respect Wikipedia policy on neutrality and writing style.

Although I am Canadian, I live in New York, and was nevertheless surprised to discover that some articles in Wikipedia are written by publicists. Specifically, upon finding a certain bio in Wikipedia, I knew the subject, and asked her. My publicist did it, she said. This publicist then essentially got me started. It's easy, he said, just muck around. Most contemporary poets are ignored, and so I did start mucking. I do have a doctorate from Columbia and did edit an Encyclopedia and would love to correspond with a genuine Wikipedist. I couldn't locate Bearcat's email address. I probably haven't mucked around enough. MAndreOX@AOL.com

[edit] Clean-up request

I don't question notability, but do think that the article is in need of a clean-up by someone with knowledge of the subject. WP:MOS and WP:BIO will likely be of help. Victoriagirl 16:29, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
