Cartoonists, by Trina Robbins, Workman, 2008). Also, you will find her on Lambiek, a directory of cartoonists situated in the Netherlands. I do not know how to object to this,but it is not the first article I have written. I helped to write Quarry Hill Creative Center (which has been there for some years) and I really feel it would be wrong to just delete this article which should be called B. Hall, or Barbara Hall. She is an American artist and cartoonist and the co-creator of Quarry Hill Creative Center. I do not know where else to leave this message. Instead of deleting me and my article, why not help me fix it so it meets your criteria? It seems to me that Knowledge (XXG) has become more "snooty" than it once was and doesn't allow people to really edit things. My artistic and literary family and my community has been of interest to many in the press as you will see by all the sources at Quarry Hill Creative Center and Irving Fiske. Why delete me and my article? It is cruel and just not helpful. Thanks, I. McFarlin "Songcat" (I don't know where to ask for non-deletion. It is all too complicated~)

Songcat I don't know what more you want me to do to make this be a "Wikified" article but wish you would consider that maybe the criteria is becoming too demanding.

I must really respectfully disagree that I did not show in what way B. Hall is a person who merits a Knowledge (XXG) article. That seems, if you will excuse me, rather sexist. She did so many things, she created and then saved one of the oldest alternative communities in the country; she is one of

Barbara Hall Fiske is a real artist and a real cartoonist and deserves to be in Knowledge (XXG), too. I hate the way you are all always so rude to people who are somewhat different from yourselves.What am I "advertising"? B. Hall is a real artist and she appears in a book (The Great Women
