 * Note regarding (old) request edit: This is not an article editing issue. The article page does not have a COI template. So, to resolve the COI question a "connected contributor" template has been added above. If PCIPIntern will say "I am an intern at PCIP" on their user talk page, then we can modify the connected contributor template to say "declared = yes". – S. Rich (talk) 20:53, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Requesting admin help
I would like to update biographical information on this article. I work for Jerrold D. Green's organization, the Pacific Council on International Policy, but the information I would like to add/change is not a COI, it's just biographical information. I made these changes already, but they were deleted because of "copyright issues" (the same text I added also appears on the Pacific Council's website). However, I have Jerrold D. Green's permission to make these changes. How can/should I make these edits to this article? Thank you. Jdchapman15 (talk) 23:15, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Jdchapman15
 * I am not an administrator, but I noticed this post. Please note than any user can assist you in most situations. A COI does not have to do with the information, but the person providing it.  If you work for this person's organization, it is a COI for you to contribute information about the organization or the person directly, and you should avoid doing so if possible. (you seem to have already read the COI policy).  Please describe the changes you would like to see to this article, so that others can review them. 331dot (talk) 23:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I would also urge you, if you haven't already, to review the paid editing policy(though you have largely complied with it by stating you work for this person's organization). 331dot (talk) 23:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Regarding the copyright issues, there are certain things that need to be done to donate copyrighted materials; that information can be found at this page. 331dot (talk) 23:26, 27 January 2017 (UTC)


 * answered this pretty well already. Reading those pages will usually help you. Also, please remember that material about living people needs to be verifiable with reliable sources, not their own webpage. If you have further questions, using help me usually suffices as admin-help is only for those problems that need the responding user to be able to (un)delete, block users or protect pages.

Help request
How can I get this removed from the top of this article: "This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful." I believe the article is well sourced and cited.


 * There are entire sections, such as "Early life" and half of "Career", that don't cite any references. Other parts are based exclusively on primary sources, not on the reliable secondary sources that should form the basis of a Wikipedia article. If those parts cannot be confirmed from independent reliable sources, they should be removed. Huon (talk) 00:19, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Not sure how someone's early life can be cited except by primary sources, but ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdchapman15 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Requested changes
Hello, I work for Jerrold Green, the subject of this article. He would like the following updates made to this article. I've tried many times to make these edits myself and they get deleted and I get reprimanded (even though I've declared my conflict of interest on my user page). I'm also told making these edits is a copyright violation (because it appears on another website that he's on the board of), even though it's a bio that I received directly from him, which he wrote. How can an organization own someone's bio? It's not like it's an academic paper, but whatever. I'm requesting that these changes be made instead of risking making the edits myself and getting kicked off Wikipedia, as has been threatened.

Below is all the related info that Dr. Green would like reflected in this article. If anyone can make these edits for me, it would be much appreciated. Here is where this info/bio appears/can be cited: https://www.pacificcouncil.org/about/leadership/president. The most important change is his USC title: should be changed from "research professor of communications at the Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism at the University of Southern California" to "Research Professor of Communications, Business, and International Relations at the University of Southern California."
