Hello, I'm DavidBrooks. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Northampton, Pennsylvania have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. David Brooks (talk) 02:53, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Notability
I'd like to explain why your recent changes were reverted. Information about people in Wikipedia should meet the notable requirement, even when in something like an alumni listing, and that is the primary reason your changes were rejected. The policy is described here: Stand-alone_lists. It refers to the more comprehensive Notability (people). I do not believe your entries met those criteria.

In addition, your edits were promotional in tone. Wikipedia is intended to be a neutral record of facts, not a promotional medium. Hoping this explains your experience. David Brooks (talk) 23:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
