Remove..."Cheryl Miller who had been on medical leave for some months resigned her position as CEO for AutoNation due to undisclosed medical reasons in July 2020.[21] She was still liable for bonuses and stock for the work she had done and in addition she received a leaving settlement of $5.4m. Under the terms she was not allowed to work in competition to the company for a year.[22]"

Personal in nature and minor changes in personnel no encyclopedic. No set up or establishment of a "germane" history within the article in and of itself. A loose end with incorrect grammar. 207.255.91.54 (talk) 14:28, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

 Partly done: I trimmed a lot of it it, and added her replacement. I think that should do it. I have to say that changing CEOs is not a "minor change in personnel." ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. You provide the "significant paragraph," as the edit request template is to request a fully formed edit be made to a page, not to request that other editors do the work for you.

 Not done: Clicking on the link in your request shows a site that says 'we have over 300 stores and 26,000 associates'. Due to that, it doesn't seem like it needs changing. TungstenTime (talk) 21:53, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
