 * Declined. Request is dated and therefore no longer considered an improvement. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:43, 14 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I wanted to reopen this request, but after an attempt by the user to make the changes himself, I now have to refactor my reasoning for my initial decline. As stated by, the content that is currently on the article is properly sourced, and changing the article to your version, as you already saw by the reversion made by said user, would take out content that is already properly sourced. If you would like, you can come back with a different request that incorporates the references that already exist and we will consider options from there. Thank you for your request, nonetheless. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 05:36, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Changes requested
I requested changes in the beginning of March. I know the requests are backed up. I was just wondering how much longer it might take for the changes to be implemented.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmassistant (talk • contribs) 17:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
