I suggested two changes to "People from Park Ridge, Illinois": Steve Smith under football and two brothers who were on Hee Haw for years. I notice neither of the suggestions was accepted. Is there anything I can do?

Hello, the problem was not that the suggestions are unwelcome, it is that you put them in the wrong place and accidentally messed up templates. To make suggestions, you should go to the talk page and press the "new section" tab. Then you can make your suggestion. Best of luck! Happy Squirrel (talk) 19:15, 30 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
