When you are viewing a person's profile, there is no indication that someone that I have made a note about someone in their circle. I would like to have an indicator on the profile page akin to the default indicator on styled pages.

(Not sure I'm making any sense. So, let me explain with examples.

I have made a note that eliotspencer is the smokinghot twin of lindseymcdonald. I go to view the profile of ckspouse49, who gives access to eliotspencer. When I view ckspouse49's profile, I would like an indicator that I've written a note about eliotspencer.

I think that makes sense and could just be an indication with the after character on the name the profile. Then if people don't like it they could turn it off easily.
