Some proposed changes
I work at The Heritage Foundation and would appreciate if another editor could make the edit for me to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. I have lots of small edits to the entire page so I am copying the desired outcome below. Please let me know if there is a better way to implement these changes. Edits:

Kim R. Holmes is an author and a former American diplomat and Assistant Secretary of State. As the current Executive Vice President of The Heritage Foundation, he speaks and writes on a variety of issues facing the United States. Between 1992 and 2012, he served twice as the foundation’s Vice President of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies and Director of its Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies.[1] From 2002 to 2005, he served as the United States Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs.[2]

Holmes’s published works include The Closing of the Liberal Mind: How Groupthink and Intolerance Define the Left (2016), Rebound: Getting America Back to Great (2013) and Liberty's Best Hope: American Leadership in the 21st Century (2008). He is a founding editor of the annual Heritage/Wall Street Journal Index of Economic Freedom, in its 23rd edition in 2017.

Under “CAREER”:

Kim Holmes is a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, focusing on foreign policy and applying history to the formulation of U.S. public policy.[3] From 1992 to 2001 and from mid–2005 to 2012, Holmes had served as the foundation’s Vice President of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies. He helped expand the foundation’s engagement in national security policy and international affairs, by establishing, e.g., its Center for International Trade and Economics and its Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom.[4]

From 2001 to mid–2005, Holmes served as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs under Secretary of State Colin Powell. His portfolio included U.S. engagement at the United Nations and 46 other international organizations, directing over 400 U.S. diplomats and civil servants at the State Department headquarters in Washington and at U.S. missions in New York, Geneva, Vienna, Paris, Rome, Montreal and Nairobi. Key efforts during that time included developing stronger mechanisms for countering terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; combating human rights abuses such as genocide in Sudan; and reentering UNESCO. Major U.N. Security Council resolutions dealt with the U.N.'s involvement in Iraq and Sudan and the adoption of the first-ever nonproliferation resolution (United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540), which recognized the importance of global partnerships, such as the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative. Holmes also helped to forge the first democracy caucus at the U.N. and to establish the United Nations Democracy Fund. He testified before Congress not only on the budget for engagement in international organizations but also on such hot topics as Castro’s crackdown on human rights activist in Cuba [5] and U.N. peacekeeping abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [6]

Holmes first joined Heritage in 1985 as its defense policy analyst focusing on strategic defenses, the U.S. defense budget, military reform and weapons systems. He was promoted to as Senior Policy Analyst for National Security Affairs specializing in arms control, NATO, and East-West strategic relations, and subsequently to Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies before being named Vice President in 1992.

Shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Holmes spearheaded a task force of Heritage and outside experts to publish a groundbreaking homeland security report, "Defending the American Homeland."[7] The U.S. government, in the aftermath of 9/11, subsequently adopted many of its bipartisan recommendations. Holmes also launched the foundation’s homeland security program and expanded its missile defense program. In September 2000, he testified before Congress on national missile defense.[8] In 1995, he helped lay the intellectual groundwork for renewing the U.S. commitment to missile defense and ending self-imposed restrictions under the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty [9][10] with the Soviet Union.

Prior to joining Heritage, Holmes had been a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis, a research institute associated with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and a research fellow at the Institute for European History in Mainz, Germany, while completing his dissertation on the history of National Socialism in Bavaria between World War I and II.[11] He also taught European security and history as an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University.

Holmes is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a former member of its Washington Advisory Committee. He also is a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the Center for International Private Enterprise, which is associated with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Philadelphia Society, the Mont Pelerin Society, the Institute for International Strategic Studies, and the Cosmos Club of Washington, D.C. He has served on the Defense Policy Board of experts who advise the Secretary of Defense, on the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of the Center for International Private Enterprise, and as a public member of the U.S. delegation to the Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Holmes is a founding editor of the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal's annual Index of Economic Freedom.[13] He served as its co-editor from 1995 through 2002 and from 2006 through 2014. The Index’s findings have been used by the World Bank [14] and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development [15]; by the U.S. government to determine country eligibility for Millennium Challenge Account funding; in textbooks in economics; by other indexes such as the Bertelsmann Stiftung Transformation Index and the Legatum Institute’s Prosperity Index;[16] and by several Federal Reserve Banks in their educational outreach programs. Business and risk management firms also use the Index to assess foreign investment climates.[17]

Holmes has edited and co-edited such foreign policy publications such as: Restoring American Leadership: A U.S. Foreign and Defense Policy Blueprint; Mandate for Leadership, a guide for Washington policymakers; Between Diplomacy and Deterrence: Strategies for U.S. Relations with China; Reshaping Europe: Strategies for Post-Cold War Europe; and Strategic Defenses for the 1990s and Beyond. His most recent books include: The Closing of the Liberal Mind: How Groupthink and Intolerance Define the Left (2016), Liberty’s Best Hope (2008) and Rebound: Getting America Back to Great (2013).

Holmes has published scholarly articles in such journals as Foreign Affairs, National Interest, Journal Aspenia (Italy), the African Executive, Harvard University's International Security, and Columbia University's Journal of International Affairs. His shorter foreign policy and current affairs pieces appear regularly on websites such as Foreign Policy and Public Discourse. Holmes served on presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Foreign Policy and National Security Advisory Team in 2012.[18] His opinion pieces appear frequently in major newspapers and online journals. Holmes is married with two grown children and lives in Oakton, Virginia.

Below you will see where text from your request has been quoted with individual advisory messages placed underneath, either accepting, declining or otherwise commenting upon your proposal(s). As per your request, the text which made up the bulk of the article as it previously existed was removed, and the requested text was inserted. Following this replacement, each section of text was then inspected and edited according to the review decisions shown in the quotebox below. Once all sections were reviewed the article was implemented in full. When reviewing the quotebox below, please be sure to see the enclosed notes for additional information about each section of the request.

It looks like the information that needs to be referenced would be the following:"Prior to joining Heritage in 1985, Holmes was a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis, a research institute associated with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and was a research fellow at the Institute for European History in Mainz, Germany. Holmes first joined the Heritage Foundation in 1985 as its defense policy analyst focusing on strategic defenses, the U.S. defense budget, military reform and weapons systems. While at Heritage, he was promoted to senior policy analyst for national security affairs specializing in arms control, NATO, and East-West strategic relations. He was subsequently promoted to director — and in 1992, vice president — of foreign and defense policy studies. He served in that position until 2001, and again from 2005 to 2012."I know you said that "those that do not have enough references to back them up are ok to be removed and disregarded" but because those sentences constitute a significant part of the article, I'd rather get an ok from you on each of them before removing them wholesale. Many editors at Wikipedia feel that when information cannot be verified but the information still remains basic uncontroversial facts which are verifiable it is best to leave the information rather than remove it. I believe that to be the case here. Please indicate whether any of the information above can be verified elsewhere or if you'd like it removed. Thank you  spintendo   04:31, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Under "Career," the date "1985" in the first paragraph should be changed to "1986." Remove "focusing on strategic defenses, the U.S. defense budget, military reform and weapons systems" in the second sentence because it cannot be verified. Proposed changes to implement:

 * 1) The information presented at the very beginning of the Career section was updated by changing the year that the subject joined the Heritage Foundation (HF) from 1985 to 1986. This was given a citation to the subject's Bio page at HF.
 * 2) The previously existing Citation needed inline template, which had been placed near the occurrence of the now-corrected date of 1985, has been removed, as the date was cited to the Bio page.
 * 3)  Despite removal of this Citation needed inline template, the information surrounding the corrected date — including information mentioned about the subject before he joined HF — remains without references.
 * 4) The article's continuing need for additional citations has not been "corrected" by the removal of the Citation needed inline template; rather, it is merely better addressed by the already existing BLP sources maintenance template, which remains in place.

This is an inquiry in how to remove the maintenance banner. I've been working to implement updates and edits for a few months now and it still remains. Please let me know if there is anything else specific we can add or remove to have that banner taken down. I work at The Heritage Foundation and would appreciate if another editor could make the edit for me to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

The template in question was assigned 8 years ago by. That editor, who is now an active administrator, should be consulted first as a courtesy in order to determine whether or not they feel the template may be removed. Regards,  spintendo   11:11, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That is very thoughtful, but obviously a number of sources have been added to the article since I added that template. Any editor should be able to remove it, preferably with a note that the article contains several citations.  When I added that template, there were zero citations.  Thanks to all who have contributed!   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 03:49, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Under "Career" It should be that he has been at Heritage since 1985, not 1986. There was some question as to which date was correct- but 1985 is when he started working at The Heritage Foundation.

 * I will make this change, as it is a minor detail, but I would first ask that the COI editor make their request under their already-disclosed, permanent account rather than an anonymous IP. Using an IP makes the required attribution of the request to a properly COI-disclosed account within the edit summary difficult.  Spintendo   23:39, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

In the second sentence of the first paragraph under "Career," it should say that Holmes first joined the Heritage Foundation in 1985, not 1986. This matches the first sentence.

Request edit
Under Career in the 3rd paragraph, it says, ”In 2001, Holmes served as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs under Secretary of State Colin Powell…” That should be “In 2002, Holmes served……” to match the references. I work at The Heritage Foundation and would appreciate if another editor could make the edit for me to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. Augusta Cassada (talk) 21:04, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

There is a discrepancy in the State bio “in office” date, and the dates in the box on right side. Shouldn’t these match? (11/21 vs. 11/19/2002; 5/6 vs. 5/1/2005) I would think if an adjustment needs to be made, it is the box that should be corrected, as the State info is the direct source.

Please add to the career section: On August 1, 2019 Dr. Holmes was confirmed by the Senate to be a member of the National Council on the Humanities.

 * ✅ The date of 2001 was changed to 2002 and the claim regarding the confirmation was added. The request to fix the State bio in office date is not actionable, since there is no discrepancy. Regards, Spintendo  21:39, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Kim Holmes' last day at The Heritage Foundation was Friday, April 16, 2021. He should now be listed as the "Former Executive Vice President of the Heritage Foundation."
