I'm writing to thank you for your edit to List of people from Ontario, but there were a couple of problems with it. As a general rule, a person or group should have a Wikipedia article before being added to a list like this. The pre-existence of an article establishes their notability, which is an important concept in this encyclopedia (see the welcome message above). Regarding the edit to Ottawa, it's not necessary to "pipe" a link. Certainly there are other Ottawas in the world, but our capital is the most prominent of them, and the simple link to Ottawa is enough. It's also not necessary to link multiple instances of the word "Ottawa" within a list like this.

Anyway, all the best, and we hope you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia! .... PK T (alk)  16:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
