Your recent edit to List of peace activists appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization 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. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 00:46, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New to this[edit]

I am trying to add the name of a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War who is in poor health. Should I wait until there is an obituary...such as the belated one of Donald Duncan that recently appeared in the New York Times? Jan Barry

Perhaps you can tell me how to correct erroneous information in this article. Thank you.

{{adminhelp}} I was a guest speaker at a college literature class recently and the professor told the class that my Wikipedia page had glaring errors. I didn't create that page or its errors. If errors on Wikipedia can't be corrected, I would like to decline the dubious honor of being on this site. 173.63.209.237 (talk) 07:35, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
