Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to which claim statements in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests it is important to highlight in the text, through the use of ref tags, which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim. The point of these inline ref tags is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point will be lost if the ref tags are not clearly placed. Note the examples below:

Examples
INCORRECT The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin. References 1. Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2019, p. 1. 2. Harinath, Paramjit. (2019) "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46. 3. Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2019, p. 2. In the first example above there are three references provided, but the claim statements do not contain ref tags indicating which reference applies where. The ref tags instead have been placed outside of the text, bundled together towards the bottom. Your edit request similarly bundles the ref tags together outside of the area of the text. These links between material and their source references must be more clearly made, as shown in the next example below: CORRECT The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3] References ^ Sjöblad, Tristan.

Edit request partially implemented

Y The information about the reinstatement of the subject's law license was implemented.
N The information concerning the subject's guilty plea was not changed, because adequate reasons for its change were not provided. The given reason, "Factual inaccuracies and updates needed for clarification" does not state with specificity what information in the existing claim is inaccurate. To substitute the existing language, please give the reasons why the current information needs to be changed.^[1]

Currently it says he pled guilty to federal corruption charges when it was a misdemeanor public corruption charge and a violation of the Hatch Act. 24.213.233.118 (talk) 19:11, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
