Request for edit to improve article.

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

As I have an unpaid COI with the subject of this page adding a {{edit COI}}

Proposed changes were made in a previous edit - last update was 4/02 and fairly reverted by User:Praxidicae. The request changes are to add additional references and citations to this article only to support existing information on this person for the benefit of the reader. I am requesting the previous edits be reinstated or updated unless they fall foul to specific issues (such as blacklist references) and per the Wikipedia guidelines.

The changes requested fall into 4 categories.

The addition of new sources, references and citations to support information per the previous editors feedback and to deal with the issues
Formatting, organisation of the page in order to make the information clear
Replacing image, which has no copyright issues as it has been provided by the subject for this purpose.
Updating of relevant information in a factual manner to ensure that Wikipedia remains an up to date source of information

Thank you for the help to fix the issues on this page.

Hi GeoLen85 does this link reflect the changes you want to make? [5] ~~Also, do you have a conflict of interest with this person?~~ Z1720 (talk) 19:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I struck out my second questions, as I now see that you declared your COI above the request edit template. I have added your declaration to the top of this page. Please confirm if the link I posted above are the edits you want to make to this article. Z1720 (talk) 01:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Z1720 - thank you for responding. Yes those were the updates [6] I had hoped to include in order to improve the article. GeoLen85 (talk) 21:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your clarification. Due to the backlog in the edit request queue, and in the interest of fairness to editors who have waited months for an assessment, I will not be reviewing these edits at this time. Other editors can assess the edits without consulting me. Z1720 (talk) 03:12, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your update Z1720. Welcome any support possible in order to resolve this as I hoped it would be a relatively straight forward update given the research work had been done on the editing community's behalf in order to deal with the issues flagged up a number of years ago. If there is any way to request support from anyone else that would be appreciated. GeoLen85 (talk) 16:47, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Longer requests, like this one, are sometimes in the request edit queue for weeks or months. Please be patient and a reviewer will assess the edit at a later date. Z1720 (talk) 16:51, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Z1720 Thank you again. I wondered if you had any time in the coming weeks to re-look at this or maybe some other way I might be able to get some help? Thank you. GeoLen85 (talk) 13:45, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GeoLen85 I am not completing edit requests at this time. When I am evaluating requests I will do so in the order in the queue in the interest of fairness. I am sorry for the backlog and I hope it will be completed soon. Z1720 (talk) 14:43, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GeoLen85:

Partly done Basically, I merged your edit with the existing version and then cut everything that wasn't properly sourced or trivial resume-like stuff, which took much more time than I could actually afford to spare for this project. Feel free to propose reinstatement of the content I cut if you find proper sourcing for it. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 20:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User: Compassionate727 Thank you for the update. Could you advise on the best way to suggest any additional improvements to the content please. Happy to make those suggestions after disclosing the COI for you to take a look at? There are some minor suggestions that would help make this article slightly more accurate and easier to read. Thank you again. GeoLen85 (talk) 09:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
