 * One thing: please don't put personal contact information in these pages, like you did at Prairie State College. Nothing good can ever come of it. 66.191.153.36 (talk) 23:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I have been a member of Wikipedia for a number of years. I am a big fan of Wikipedia. Occasionally I have offered input to correct an error or add content for which I am 99% or more certain of its accuracy. With Prairie State College all I recall doing was changing the name of the President to the current holder of the office. What do you mean by "...please don't put personal contact information in these pages, like you did at Prairie State College. Nothing good can ever come of it?" I don't recall adding anything related to my name, other than perhaps signing the change I offered for consideration. Please let me know what I may have accidentally done incorrectly. The tone of your final comment suggests an egregious misstep, and I want to be certain I do not prompt from anyone another note of this type. I am grateful for whatever clarity you might provide. If indeed I made a mistake, I certainly regret doing so. Thank you. JohnRDallasJr (talk) 03:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello JohnRDallasJr, I think what the IP was referring to is this edit . In the edit summary, you posted a string of numbers that look like a telephone number.  That's the "personal contact info" in question.  Howicus (talk) 04:10, 3 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello Howicus. Thank you for input. If this is the case, it appears I must have automatically offered my number for any editor's optional voice verification, as there would be no benefit to me whatsoever of my offering my telephone number. I simply can't recall. Lesson learned. Thanks again for your thoughtful insight. I'll be more mindful. JohnRDallasJr (talk) 13:39, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
