Information icon Hello, I'm Serols. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Matthew Barnes—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you.

Information icon Hello. Your recent edit to Fisher Island, Florida appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

When you added Matthew Barnes to the list of notable residents of Fisher Island, you had hijacked the exisiting Matthew Barnes article and converted it to be about another person. Notability has not been established for that other person. Please review the guideline at Wikipedia:Notability (people) and understand how notability is established, particularly for living people, before attempting to create any article about a living person. Please do not attempt to hijack an article by the changing the subject covered by the article. Also, please see Wikipedia:Disambiguation for how Wikipedia handles articles about topics, including people, with the same names. - Donald Albury 16:13, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
