Notable alumni sections in school articles
Hi. I am writing this to let you know that your recent edits at Walnut Hills HS have been reverted. I wanted to let you know why and also give you a piece of more or less standard advice. Your edits were reverted because you have not shown Prof. Shapiro to be notable. Notable, on Wikipedia, means that a given subject, in this case Prof. Shapiro, qualifies for an article. Most commonly, a person will already have a bio before being added to notable lists. However, if you show references enough to meet the qualifications set forth at WP:BIO, you can add the person. You have not done this. Additionally, in-article hyperlinks are not allowed. The advice is this, and I apologize if your username and the professor's name are a coincidence: Do not edit or write articles about yourself or someone you are close to. It is impossible to hold the required neutral point of view in those situations. John from Idegon (talk) 02:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
