Untitled[edit]

I find it odd that this article was created, ab initio, as a 9,000 character article by an editor RRTechWriter who has done nothing else - EVER - at Wikipedia except write about Rachel Swirsky.

I think that the author, having won a Nebula and been nominated for several awards, is notable, so I'm not suggesting deletion, but I do raise a reminder about the WP:YOURSELF policy.

I am RRTechWriter and I am most assuredly not the subject of this article, so this entry does not fall under the WP:YOURSELF policy. Indeed, this is the very first, and so far only, article I have ever written/created. While my editorial behavior might seem odd, my modus operandi for Wikipedia contributions is to create from a position of authority; as such, this is the only article for which I so far possessed the expertise on to create and for which Wikipedia did not already have an entry. I have edited other articles for grammar/mechanics, but I have not signed in to perform those minor changes.
