Talk:DeMaurice Smith

CSD & Notability
For the record, I think the sources now in the article not only bring it past (A7) criteria, but satisfy general notability requirements.--Cube lurker (talk) 18:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Update (COI disclosure)
Hey guys, I've noted this in a few other places, but my current employer has the NFLPA as one of its clients. This clearly creates a WP:COI, so before I make any edits, I'd like to get some feedback. I'm working on a draft to revise the article, and I'll let everyone know when I'm finished. My main goal is to add references and reorganize the layout, which I hope will improve the the overall quality of the article. Thanks. --TravisBernard (talk) 19:19, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I completed the draft, which can found at the above link. Most of what I did was removed information that lacked sources and added new sources. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. --TravisBernard (talk) 20:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Since I haven't heard back from anyone, I'll assume the edits are fine. If anyone has additional suggestions, let's keep the conversation. --TravisBernard (talk) 15:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Updating Career section
Hi there anyone watching this page! I'd like to propose a few small edits to this article's Career section to bring it up-to-date. In particular, I'd suggest including a sentence about DeMaurice Smith being elected to his second and third terms as NFLPA executive director and adding mention of some of Smith's speaking engagements. I'm representing the NFLPA with these suggestions and as a paid consultant I will not to edit the article myself. Instead, I hope someone here will review my suggestions and make the changes.

Here's my proposed updated section with changes shown in green:

In addition to the above, I wonder what editors feel about including mention of Smith's 2013 TEDx talk and a speech he delivered at the 2013 Convention for the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. While these aren't covered in news reporting, I wonder if the available online videos could be used as external links at least.

Would someone mind taking a look at these suggestions and let me know what you think? Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 13:22, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The changes don't seem especially controversial to me - they look fine. I've gone ahead and added them.
 * As for the videos, I don't see any issues with including them in some fashion. At the very least external link would be OK, but they could also be included in the career section along with the commencement speeches or something.  Toa   Nidhiki05  17:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Toa! As always, really appreciate your help. For the TEDx and NACDA speeches, if you think it would be ok to add them into the Career section, even with just primary sources to support, I've drafted up a potential addition with citations below that could be dropped in at the end of the section:


 * Additionally, Smith has delivered speeches at TEDxStLouis in 2013 and the 2013 NCAA National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics convention.


 * Alternatively, it would be great if you can add the previously linked YouTube videos within an External links section. Thanks again! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 19:54, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Toa Nidhiki05, I'm all set here now! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 13:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

The new Social Science
it seems that the world has accepted a new form of socializing with existence being dictorial and damaging as acceptable. The topic is not the discussion just discussing the topic. If I were to be a public official let's say as the last president would be as my dossier how would begin to educate myself with the benefit of the after office in mind rather than the office itself. any and all opinions regardless the forwardness of them will be acceptable.
