message: Please add/edit Geisinger's history section: 
Geisinger was founded in 1912 by Abigail Geisinger, who at age 85 recognized the need for advanced healthcare in her rural central Pennsylvania community. The first hospital opened earlier than expected in Danville on September 15, 1915, to treat those affected by a typhoid outbreak in the area. 
Geisinger’s flagship facility is Geisinger Medical Center, and the system includes 12 other hospital campuses: Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre, Geisinger Community Medical Center, Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital, Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital, Geisinger Lewistown Hospital, Geisinger Woodbine, Geisinger Shamokin Area Community Hospital, Geisinger Holy Spirit, Geisinger Jersey Shore, Geisinger Marworth Treatment Center and AtlantiCare Health System, a member of Geisinger. There are more than 250 clinical sites throughout Geisinger’s footprint in central, north-central, northeast, western and south-central Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. 
From 2001 through early 2015, Glenn Steele, Jr., MD, PhD, served as Geisinger’s president and chief executive officer. Known for pioneering innovative healthcare services for Geisinger’s patients and health plan members, including the ProvenCare model, Dr. Steele’s emphasis on value-based care and quality is still present in the health system’s care delivery today. The author or co-author of close to 500 scientific and professional articles, Dr. Steele has a clinical background in the treatment of liver cancer, colorectal cancer surgery, the cell biology of gastrointestinal cancer and pre-cancer. Prior to his time at Geisinger, he served in roles including dean of the Biological Sciences Division and the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine and as chairman of the Department of Surgery at New England Deaconess Hospital. In 2016, Geisinger Medical Center announced the naming of the Glenn D. Steele Jr. Hospital for Advanced Medicine, and the health system also named its Steele Institute for Healthcare Innovation after Dr. Steele.
When Dr. Steele left Geisinger in 2015, David Feinberg, MD, MBA, joined Geisinger as president and CEO. With a background in psychiatry, Dr. Feinberg came to Geisinger after a career at UCLA Health, where he served as CEO of UCLA’s hospitals and the president of UCLA Health System. Dr. Feinberg implemented the health system’s ProvenExperience program, a satisfaction-guaranteed patient refund program, in 2015. The year after this program’s introduction, Geisinger issued $400,000 to unhappy patients. He was selected third on Modern Healthcare’s “50 Most Influential Physician Executives and Leaders” in 2017 and named one of 2018’s “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare.” [18] In 2019, Dr. Feinberg left Geisinger to pursue a role with Google to help develop and expand its healthcare strategy. 
In December 2018, Jaewon Ryu, MD, JD, was named interim president and CEO of Geisinger. Serving as the health system’s executive vice president and chief medical officer since 2016, Dr. Ryu holds an undergraduate degree from Yale University and medical and law degrees from The University of Chicago. Dr. Ryu’s internship and residency training was in emergency medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Before coming to Geisinger, he was the president of Integrated Care Delivery for Humana in Louisville, Kentucky, and held various leadership roles at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System in Chicago, Kaiser Permanente, and in government at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and serving as a White House Fellow at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

thread_title:  Edit request 

message: Your edit request was declined because the request was (A) not formatted correctly and (B) contained  text which was insufficiently paraphrased from the source material. 
* With regards to (A) formatting:
#  (See WP:INTEGRITY.)
# The citation style predominantly used by the Geisinger Health System article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consisted of bare URL's.  (See WP:CITEVAR.)
* With regards to (B) insufficiently paraphrased text:
#  (See WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE.)
In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two which identify the issues in formatting. The first example shows how the formatting of the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be formatted in the future. 
Please revise the page to the below text, which gives a fuller picture of the Sun and the Moon: 
*The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.
 
 
In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Geisinger Health System article. Additionally, the references have not been placed within the text at the exact position where the information they reference resides. Your edit request similarly places URL's from references at the end of long passages of text, with no indication of which reference applies to which claim statement. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text would resemble the following:
Please add the following sentence to the first paragraph of the article's "Sun and Moon" section:
*The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.
Please add the following sentence to the first paragraph of the article's "Sun and Moon" section:
*The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 degrees Kelvin.[3]

^ Harinath, Paramjit. , Science, 51(78):46.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review. 
Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo  23:09, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
