spam is "unsolicited or undesired electronic messages," and technically could include the entire corpus of Wikipedia. I began this project when I realized that the literature and cultural references of the Pacific Northwest were dwarfed by Wikipedia articles on subjects such as the history of light sabers. It is difficult to take an encyclopedia seriously that contains such detail about a fictional universe and yet lacks specific information about real world places. I appreciate the contributions and oversight in the space and I'm trying to learn the rules here.
Unsure what the resume tag means. I was trying to add content to the page since it was flagged as a "stub." I was attempting to provide context for the author's work, similar to other pages of contemporary authors that I've seen.
conflict of interest: I am interested in this subject and will be adding additional contemporary Pacific Northwest authors. It would seem useful to link these authors with subjects where they apply. Eddorn (talk) 15:12, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
