Hello, and '''welcome''' to Misplaced Pages! Misplaced Pages is a free-content encyclopedia where anyone can edit or create articles, and we would like to thank you for your contributions to ] so far- we hope you stay! However, Misplaced Pages '''is''' an encyclopedia- all article topics must reach a level of notability or encyclopedia-lity in order to be listed. Thus, that's why some members of the community feel that the articles you created on teachers at DeSalle High School are not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. If you disagree with that, you may state your reasons at the respective Votes For Deletion page, where the community is voting and trying to come to a consensus regarding whether these articles are encyclopedic or not. Here's a tip (just a handy rule of thumb): if you create an article that you think Encarta would not accept, it's probable not suitable for Misplaced Pages. However, I do encourage you to ] and enjoy your time editing! If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me by clicking the "A note?" link at the end of this paragraph and leave a note on that page. Thank you very much, and again, welcome! ] |<small> ]</font color>| ] 22:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

Perhaps what this user needs is to learn about blogging. Different kinds of content belong on different kinds of communities. Material a person is interested in, but is not notable, might fit better on a Blog. |
