Hello. Your recent edit to Purple Heart 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. ''Please write an article about a subject before listing them. Also, the sourcing for this claim of 10 purple hearts seems pretty thin. Only a handful of people in Georgia seem convinced of this, which is why I'm doubting it's true at all.''  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:43, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Purple Heart. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Once again, discontinue adding Hayes to the list until an article exists about him and you have solid sourcing. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 13:38, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Aha, found how to reply tithe specific message. So please help me out and point me to the rule that says only"notable" people can be added to a list, because I can't find that rule. Also, you questioned my first newspaper citation as not authoritative enough. You said since only a few people in Georgia believed it you also doubted it was true. I know we're just a bunch of dumb hicks down here, but I guess seeing is believing. Since I knew the man before his recent passing and have seen the citations and medals, that does allow me to believe it more than you might. However, the second time around I provided a link to the comments of US Representative Jody Hice on the floor of the United States House of Representatives as the citation. How much more authoritative do I need to get with my citation? I'm new to this Wikipedia stuff, but I'm learning. And trust me, you come off as a know-it-all bully when you respond to my edits in the way you have. JBedsole (talk) 20:25, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Oh, and by the way, it's Curry HAYNES, not Hayes. JBedsole (talk) 20:27, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
