Notable Residents Guidelines
Wikipedia has a guideline about who is notable for inclusion in article lists and who is not, it can be found at wp:CSC. In a nutshell, a person generally isn't notable unless their notoriety is willing to withstand on it's own in a separate article. Liberace is notable enough to have and article, and in THAT article it's perfectly fine to mention his parents. That article, I might add, notes that he was born in West Alice, and has no mention of Marshall (maybe you need to fix that article?). However, the parents of a famous person are not notable per se; this is why I will be sadly be removing the reference from the article; as much as I love to see interest in the article and our wonderful little town. Do not stop trying! We encourage editors to be bold, and you can't do that without trying first! Soon after I moved to Marshall in 2005 I discovered the Marshall article in a woeful state (what we editors call a Stub), and took it on myself over the next few years to flesh it out to be a full article, and I continue to be a conservator of the Marshall page to this day. I am SO glad a real historian can start filling out the missing content that a recent arrival like myself knows nothing about. If you need help in sorting out how to something on Wikipedia, please message me on my talk page, and I will try to help. Welcome! Timmccloud (talk) 18:08, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 19:35, 18 September 2018 (UTC) Please note that this account has *not* edited promotionally, nor made any edits regarding the historical society.
