 * This came in while I was typing my post below. The problem with the Martin article (beyond all the formatting etc) is that you include mostly works by him, but not about him. For "notability" Wikipedia needs articles where other people have written (in "Reliable independent published sources") about him and/or his work. Your ref 1 is an interview, which the system does not allow to be counted for "notability" - though I see "Being elected to the AIA College of Fellows", which might count for something if you add it with a reliable source (AIA list of fellows?) if it is a highly selective honour.

Editing
Hallo, I note that you are a paid editor: please read carefully WP:PAID, which includes a link to Conflict of interest and says that "you are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly".

I created the article on Elizabeth Lowrey some years ago, and I note that you have edited it recently. I saw the reent edit on my "watch list" and spent some time patching up the non-standard way in which you had listed her publications, including using bold type to make a sort of heading as "She is a frequent contributor to industry publications. Among her recent articles are the following:". Please take the trouble to learn about Wikipedia's standard layout, and observe how publications are listed in other articles, before trying to edit. I am happy to spend time clearing up after novice amateur edits, but feel somewhat angry that I have spent my freely-given time cleaning up after someone who is earning money editing the encyclopedia and has not bothered to learn how to do so. As described in the COI policy, you should in any case not have edited the article directly, but should have made a note of suggested improvements on the talk page: I or some other editor would, if we felt appropriate, have updated the article.

I see you are working on a couple of drafts at Draft:David Manfredi FAIA and User:Yeem2022/sandbox. I would advise you to take the time to learn a little more about editing Wikipedia and format them properly before hoping for them to be approved. (Hints: bold for first mention of title, "References" section, a few wikilinks eg to universities attended, the "FAIA" does not belong in the article title, no "Bare URL" references, italics for titles of journals and magazines, don't use all-numerica dates for publication dates - they are allowed, though optional, for the "access-date" and in places where space is at a premium eg in tables)

I see that you have made several edits to Elkus Manfredi Architects: again, you should have been making suggestions on the talk page rather than editing directly. But, again, please learn how to cite references properly instead of adding bare web addresses. Many editors are happy to help other volunteer editors, but someone being paid to edit ought to be learning for themselves how to do so properly, if at all.

I see from Talk:Elkus Manfredi Architects that there was a previous paid editor working on the article. Interestingly neither of you added the standard, useful, "External link" to the firm's website: I've done so out of good will to our readers. Pam D  14:47, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Added citations and a new photograph to Elkus Manfredi Architects
I have previously identified myself as a paid editor on behalf of Elkus Manfredi Architects. This morning I have added numerous citations and a new photograph. Is there a way that the template message can be removed if my changesa are acceptable? Thank you for your assistance. James M. Yeem2022 (talk) 15:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed changes to Elizabeth Lowrey page
Hello,

I am a paid contributor charged with making changes on both the Elkus Manfredi Architects and Elizabeth Lowrey pages. I understand that I must disclose my status as a paid editor, which I have done. My question: Do I understand that I cannot make the changes myself and must provide a list of proposed changes, to be executed by a Wiki editor? If so, how do I present such proposed changes -- on "Talk," "Sandbox," or what? I want to be absolutely above board about everything. Any advice would be much appreciated! Best regards, "Yeem2022."
