message: *note from Nicole* - I do know him personally and would only like the page to be updated with what he's done since the last update happened. It's all verifiable. Please let me know how I can better go about doing this. Please let me know if below is the the correct way to achieving this.

text: Thanks for responding. I'm new to this. I guess what I'm trying to do is add additional info and more up to date information. There are some areas where I can do a 'change x to y' edit. But may you please advise me on how to submit new info? Full disclosure, I am a paid editor for this page and looking to do it completely within COI guidelines. I just want to add up to date info to the page as it has not been updated in some years. With sources of course. Thank you for any help.

thread_title:  requesting to make the following changes to Marc Morial Wikipedia page 

message: Hello! 
The intro section says he was Senator from 1991-1994. He was elected in 1991 but served from 1992-1994 in the referenced article. 
Proposing to change to: "elected to Louisiana State Senate in 1991. He served until 1994."
I am affiliated with Marc Morial and requesting the edit. If approved, do I make the edit myself or does someone have to do it for me? I'm trying to avoid any COI issues. Thank you.  Nicolehardesty (talk) 16:21, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I made this minor change in a manner appropriate for the lead section, and cleaned up some brackets that linked to dead links. Go4thProsper (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

text: @Go4thProsper thank you! 
Hi, Go4thProsper (talk! Could you help me with this? I'd like to move this statement and source from the Mayor of New Orleans section up to start a third paragraph of the intro section to serve as a part of an overall summary. 
"He’s the youngest person elected Mayor of New Orleans in 50 years and at the time, one of the youngest mayors of a major American city."
Thank you!
Nicolehardesty (talk) 21:35, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Hi  I have declined adding this to the lede because the source did not verify the information. The source states he was the city's youngest elected mayor. I think that information can be added to an expanded lede. Z1720 (talk) 20:50, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

text: Hi  
Thank you! In that case, may I request to have "Morial served as Mayor of New Orleans, from 1994 to 2002,[1]"
- Changed to - (and moved to the lede)
Morial served as Mayor of New Orleans, from 1994 to 2002 as the city's youngest Mayor. 
Thank you!

I'd just like to fit that in the existing list of positions. Thank you!

replies: text: , none of the references provided by you supports your claim that he served as Vice President of the Conference of Mayors. Also, follow the WP:EDITXY while requesting for edit. Chirota (talk) 06:27, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

text: , Thank you for responding. I'm new to editing. Does that mean this source is not acceptable at all? There is a line in here that says "He became Vice-President of the Conference for 2000 to 2001, and went on to act as its President from 2001 to 2002." Just want to know for sure that this doesn't support the claim that he was Vice President. Thanks for your help Nicolehardesty (talk) 14:07, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

message: Hello! Would like to include crime statistics while he was Mayor of New Orleans. This speaks to his effectiveness as a leader
-request to add statistic information-
 - New paragraph after the first one.- "During his time as Mayor, in response to a high crime rate in the city , significant crime reform measures were implemented including a tough juvenile curfew. In five years, the violent crime fell by 50% making New Orleans a national leader in police reform."
Thank you!
Nicolehardesty (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This information reads as too promotional of Morial's political success. The wording is also giving opinionated, qualitative statements (national leader in police reform) without attributing it to a person, making it sound like it is written in WP:WIKIVOICE. Z1720 (talk) 06:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

text: This change has been made as a relevant statistic from his time as mayor of New Orleans, but a better source should probably be cited to confirm this. As posted, the citation comes from the mayor’s own book, which shouldn’t be the source of a statistical claim like this. Interested editors are encouraged to identify a more appropriate and definitive source for this information. Perhaps Nicolehardesty can supply one that a non-COI editor can add as further verification of the crime statistic claim? Go4thProsper (talk) 12:30, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Not done:  The cited sources do not directly corroborate the claims made in the edit request text. For example, the Associated Press/ESPN article simply discusses a potential deal. The second ESPN source (ref 3) does not mention September 11th, or example, and strongly implies that while Morial was kept updated on negotiations, they were fundamentally between other officials (e.g. "between Commissioner Tagliabue and Phil Brady"). Thus, Morial persuading the NADA seems to be a stretch based on the cited text. WhinyTheYounger (WtY)(talk, contribs)  02:44, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
