Your edits to Michigan City, Indiana
[edit]Hi. Welcome, again. I have reverted your edits to this article, which inserted into the list of notable citizens a long passage about the Rev Tina Redden. Lists like that are only intended for very brief entries linking to other Wikipedia articles for notable citizens. If you want Rev Redden to feature in that list, you should first write a stand-alone article about her. For advice on how to do that, read WP:Your first article, and note that you will need to establish notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of subjective opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." More detail at WP:Notability (people). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:36, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Wikipedia:Help desk. Thank you. Please remain civil and calm; we are all volunteers, and many people will be happy to try and help - but please, do not accuse us all of bigotry and racism. Chzz ► 00:42, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
