Talk:Dennis Walcott

Categories
Category:People from Queens is a perfectly valid category. (See, e.g., Paul Simon.) I have restored it.Gogue2 (talk) 21:27, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed the US govt bio stub .. Did he work for the federal government?Gogue2 (talk) 21:29, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Education and government experience
I have adjusted the reference to his work with children. Apparently, he did not work in a kindergarten. Rather, he worked at Amistad Day Care Center (which deals with pre-schoolers) of Jamaica, New York, as I cited with these references: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dycd/downloads/pdf/news-press-coverage-seqp-20070116.pdf and http://www.greatschools.org/new-york/jamaica/preschools/Amistad-Day-Care-Center/10981/.

 * An earlier edit claimed that he worked as deputy mayor for a decade. A decade is ten years.  Walcott began work as deputy mayor in 2002.  2011 did not conclude by the time that Walcott switched to chancellor. Therefore, his deputy mayor tenure is nine years.

Updating this page
I have a conflict of interest as I'm a PR rep for Queens Public Library and Dennis Walcott in his capacity as President and CEO of the system. I have proposed updates/changes to this page. I believe this is the correct venue for suggesting them and providing references. Would you please let me know if it's not? Can the first sentence of the page include his current role as President and CEO of Queens Public Library? Can his nationality be corrected? (It says "United States" but should be "American")?JA1GG1 (talk) 19:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Please propose exact verbiage and a citation, preferably the citation should be from an independent source, not his LinkedIn or the company page. Boredathome101 (talk) 01:37, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
