Changes

Dear Douglas A, Some time ago you deleted one of the articles I created, on author Bill Bryson, with the comment "not notable". ''(08:59, 18 January 2011 DouglasA (deleted "Bill Bryson" (not notable) )'' I would like to ask you to please reconsider this deletion and to reinstate this page, as Bill Bryson is in fact a very notable author, and it took some time and effort for me to create that article. Bill Bryson is a well-known author who has written more than 20 books, many of them best-sellers. Millions of his books have been sold in the U.S. and translated into dozens of foreign langauages. He has won many awards for his writing on travel, language, science and history, including: 2010 Educational Writers Award; 2005 President's Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry; Author of the Year at the British Book Awards; and he has also been awarded honorary degrees by numerous universities. In 2006 the mayor of Des Moines awarded Bryson the key to the city. There are also several pages at Conservapedia that mention Bill Bryson and/or quote him in their references, please see: [[Gettysburg Address]] (references Bill Bryson), [[Des Moines]] (mentions that ''The Life and TImes of the Thunderbolt Kid,'' Bill Bryson's memoir of growing up in Des Moines, was a 2006 bestseller), [[Anthony Comstock]] (references Bill Bryson) and [[Ellis Island]] (quotes Bill Bryson). So I do believe that this particular page was deleted in error and would respectfully ask that it be reinstated. Thank you very much for your consideration.
