For instance, there is an entry about ["David Greenwald"] because he is a notable person within Davis. He also has an editor account on the wiki, so there is also ["Users/DavidGreenwald" an entry under his account]. ["Rob Roy"] and ["Users/RobRoy" Users/RobRoy] are two more examples. The personal entries are generally by the person and contain notes to that person, while the public entries are about the person and written by the editorial community as a whole (similar to how some business owners have entries, but the entry about the business is written by the community). Thus it isn't a duplicate and I restored it. Some people don't edit their public entries (seeing it as a conflict of interest), and others add or update information.
