November 2017 edit

  Hello. Your recent edit to Barrington High School (Illinois) 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.

Would you like to chat IRL? Happy to provide my phone number, as well as several media features from the past year?

You need to comply with it completely prior to making any further edits. See below. John from Idegon (talk) 00:16, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
