Welcome!

Hello, Scottinsocal, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Thank you for experimenting with the page Hightstown High School on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Hightstown High School page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Hightstown High School, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - Adolphus79 (talk) 05:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

There are a number of issues that need to be addressed in adding an individual to an article. The main one is notability. Notability of living people is established by reference to reliable and verifiable sources, such as from books, newspapers and magazines. None have been added for Scott Bernstein. The Martindale-Hubbell link establishes Bernstein as a lawyer, but not as a notable; All attorneys are not notable. If you can provide reliable, independent sources about Bernstein that establish notability, I will be happy to help put them into the correct format. I would also suggest, based on your user name and edit history, that you review Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. As shown above, failure to respect these policies may be treated as vandalism.

I understand. Thank you. I will locate some sources demonstrating 'notability' and send them to you. What is the best way to get them to you..?
