New article
editYou've written the article on your user page. If you search for Roger Woods, you'll find we don't have an article on anyone of that name, so you don't need any disambiguation ("Textile Designer and Artist") in the title. The search page will say "You may create the page "Roger Woods", but consider checking the search results below to see whether it is already covered." Click on the redlink, and that'll open an edit window for a new article under that title. Then write your article, but have a look at the Wikipedia:Manual of Style for the conventions used. --Nicknack009 (talk) 11:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

editAbout Roger Woods
editI think perhaps you have not yet done a Google search to see if there is anything about Roger Woods online other than his own website? Try searching for > "Roger Woods" textile < and see what you can find. There is more than you would think.
- For example, here is an artist's profile. OK it's on a commercial site, but it's better than nothing maybe: [1]
- And, I see that a piece of his is listed at the National Gallery of Australia website. That's totally legitimate. It's here:
[2],
and there may be other relevant listings too.
Unfortunately the name is rather a common one, so there are plenty of other people whose entries clutter up your search, including at least one other artist.
Anyway, good luck with the article. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 20:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
