February 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Jean Harris (environmentalist). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 20:40, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Jean Harris
Thank you for contributing the very interesting article about Jean Harris! Just to explain why some of the text was removed from the article: some of the text was not actually about Ms Harris but about the collection in the library, or about the park, and some of the text that was removed was not encyclopedic. For instance, details such as contact information for the park is the kind of information that does not belong in Wikipedia. Please also note that all articles need to have an encyclopedic tone, and the article still needs a fair bit of revision - which is the reason why the maintenance templates at the top of the article need to stay there, until the issues have been addressed. Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 20:46, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
