substantial amount of lede prose was injected by the organization. It remains in place in place substantially today. Graywalls (talk) 05:51, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi there-this is Debra Porta. The only changes I made (that I recall) was the addition of more current Grand Marshals up to the 2016 date I added them. I was Board president at the time and didn't realize I shouldn't directly edit (my apologies for not being aware of that protocol!). Cory Murphy is a former employee of Pride Northwest. I have been with Pride Northwest in some capacity since 2007. Given that it is the institutional knowledge and documentation of board and staff that verifies an accurate history for the organization, what other process should we follow? I see and appreciate the "get someone from Wikipedia to proof drafts" but how are you going to verify? Any help much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.128.94.198 (talk) 18:08, 9 April 2019 (UTC)


 * this is a good place to start reading which explains the processes for how to request uninvolved editors to edit. The organization, its associates, sub-contractors are strongly discouraged from making the edits directly. Something that should be kept in mind is that organizations don't have an authority over what contents to be included or not included in the article. As the organization in question here has a web page, they could update their web page, preferably with revision date to keep track of when the information was updated on their end to give an indication that it is current. Basic information such as the current key personnel names, history, location and such could then be referenced by uninvolved editors editing the article. But what becomes included or not included in the article is up to community consensus. The organization can request things in the article's talk page as explained in the link. The contents of requested change must be verifiable. So even if someone was to request here stating to be from the organization, we have no way of knowing if the request is authentic. If the nature of change (such as director change) is published on the official website of the organization, then it can be verified. Graywalls (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
