Your recent edit to Gibsonville, North Carolina appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up, John. I understand my new notables (founding fathers and veterans) do not rise to notable level. Would it be appropriate to add the Gibsonville veterans info to the History section?History312 (talk) 18:41, 28 January 2016 (UTC)history312


 * Although I am not an administrator, I can say with some confidence that your request will be denied. Not because it is improperly formatted, which it is, but because it does not in any way address the reason you were blocked. And to answer your above question, no. Although military service is laudable, it does not relate in any way to the history of the city itself. John from Idegon (talk) 19:15, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

John or Coffee I think I can prove that I am who I say I am. As a matter of course when I send out a doc for review I insert some minor errors or “tells” so I can track leaks. After the Town Manger asked me to check out the new Gville wiki page this week, I found two of my tells in the document on line. First, under History the entry for Dr Jordan should have been Dr G.E. Jordan. Second, under External Links the Gibsonville Museum and Historical Society was missing. I then noticed that the Notable People was not what I had written so I inserted it. The circulated draft version had some punctuation errors in the Veterans section, but I don’t have access to the version previously loaded by others to wiki to prove this. If you can check yours you will see errors in spacing on the list of names after the periods, but not in the one I submitted. In conclusion I believe that I have proven that I am not the original person who loaded the info to wiki, but of course I am biased. Please unblock my account. FYI I did get help navigating wiki since I was not familiar with its protocols, but all of the words from History312 are my own. Likewise no one is paying me for this and I am not personally connected to this subject other than living in this town. I would be willing to submit all of my updates via the sandbox for review before going live if that is possible Thx. History312 (talk) 21:20, 29 January 2016 (UTC)history312
