Edit Request

I work for Community Options and want to fix some things on this page and update a few others, but, as I understand it, I can’t due to my conflict of interest. Can someone help me with these edits? Here’s everything I want to change, with a source.

1. Can you remove the banner at the top of the page?

2. In the lead, can you add "Community Options is located in 10 states and employs over 4,000 people with disabilities." The source is

3. In the lead, can you add “Community Options was founded by Robert Stack in 1989.”? The source is

4. Under Services, can you add “A second shop opened in Princeton in 2019.” after the third sentence? The source is

5. Under Services, can you add “There are additional Daily Plan It facilities in Morristown, NJ and Wayne, NJ.” after the sentence “The first Daily Plan It opened in Princeton, NJ in 1997.”?

6. Under Cupid’s Chase 5K, can you add “In 2020, Under Armor signed a multiyear sponsorship of Cupid’s Chase 5K.” ? The source is

7. Under Cupid’s Chase 5K, can you add “In 2021, Cupid’s Chase is scheduled to take place in 34 cities across the country.” The source is

8. Under Services, can you add “Community Options creates individualized service plans and locates and secures appropriate homes, condos and apartments for people with disabilities. The programs are designed to allow individuals to further their productivity, empowerment and total integration into all aspects of society. ” You can see that on our site in History and Services. Do I need another source?

9. Under Services, can you add “Community Options Enterprises Inc. was established as a subsidiary to develop and operate entrepreneurial businesses that integrate people with disabilities into the workforce.” Source is

10. Under Services, can you add “The organization also provides international support services in Europe, South America, and the Middle East.” (Unsourced)

11. Under History, replace “From 1995 to 2011, group homes were opened in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee.” with “Over the next three decades, Community Options expanded into Texas (1993), New York (1994), Pennsylvania (1994), New Mexico (1999), Tennessee (2004), South Carolina (2007), Arizona (2015), Maryland (2015) and Utah (2016).”

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Sincerely,

Hi Bruno-comops, I can help with this. Let me dig in, but for starters: do you have any better (or any) sources for 7,8,9,10 and 11? The comop.org site is a primary source and doesn't work as a source. See WP:Source and WP:RS.

Also, #11 looks a bit promotional and kinda cut-and-paste-y. I can rewrite when you find sources.

I'll look into the others.

Feel free to bug/ping me when you find source.

Hi Bruno-comops

I did 2-5, with some rewrites. This page needs some more work before I do #1 and I still need sources for 6-11.

--FeldBum (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, FeldBum,

I'll keep on looking for more sources for #6-11

What do I need to change on the page so you can do #1?

Thank you again,

Hi Bruno-comops,

I think the iMatter topics need to be rewritten or removed, as well as the Betty Pendler Award (which also needs citations).

Let me see what I can do.

--FeldBum (talk) 16:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Bruno-comops,

Good news/bad news. Good: I found Pender sources pretty easily. Bad: It looks like that section was lifted line-for-line from the sources I found, which violates WP:Copyright.

I'm already in it, so I'll just rewrite.

Marked edit request as partially done -- please reopen it if there are still outstanding issues. Altamel (talk) 15:50, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi again FeldBum,

Thanks for all your help with the above edits.

Can you also add an infobox with the following information:`

• Founded: 1989, 32 years ago
• Founder: Robert Stack
• Type: 501(c)3 Nonprofit
• Focus: Disability services
• Headquarters: Princeton, New Jersey
• Area served: United States
• Key People: Robert Stack, Dr. Colleen Wieck, Frank Zak, Paul Hritz, Elizabeth Pendler
• Website: https://www.comop.org/

Also, on the Disability rights activists page, can you make a quick change? Under “S” can you change “Robert Stack” to a red link, as he does not yet have a page? It currently links to Robert Stack the actor, which is incorrect.

Thank you,

Bruno-comops (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Bruno-comops, did both of those. Gonna mark this as complete. --FeldBum (talk) 12:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
