List of Freemasons
Thank you for your contribution to our List of Freemasons (E - Z) article. Unfortunately, your addition of Eugene Howard Lindsey has had to be removed. First, the list requires that all those listed be linked to an existing Wikipedia bio articles about them... an article that establishes that the person is considered notable enough to be included on the list. Second, the list requires that a citation accompany the entry... a citation to a source that establishes that the person actually is/was a Freemason. Your addition met neither of these requirements. On another issue... Based on your user name, I suspect that you are either Mr. Lindsy himself or closely connected to him. If this is the case, your addition was problematic in another way. Wikipedia frowns on people adding information about themselves or those they are closely connected to. It is considered a Conflict of interest. You are, of course, more than welcome to contribute to Wikipedia in other ways (and I hope you will do so). It will take some time to get familiar with all of our basic policies and guidelines, but your experience here will be much more enjoyable if you take some time to review them. Happy editing.
