Kelly Townsend

Hi Joan (if I may). Thanks for your edits to the Kelly Townsend article. I've started to go through the article and corrected a few formatting errors and other issues, and removed material that cites websites that aren't reliable sources. I see you've reverted several of my changes: while you're welcome to do so, it's generally preferable to begin a discussion at the talk page (Talk:Kelly Townsend) rather than reverting without explanation. If you haven't done so already, you might also look through my edit summaries in the article history, where I've explained the rationale behind each of my edits. I hope I've been fairly clear, but let me know if you have any questions about any of the above or any of my edits. All the best, – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you. I didn't know. I appreciate your updates. You worded some better and provided links. I think it is important that this info is in one more easily accessible place so the clear patterns show with our elected officials. JoanTEditor (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Please let me know if my edits are acceptable. JoanTEditor (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Could you please advise which information needs better sourcing? JoanTEditor (talk) 10:14, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

See existing edits made on the article page. Corkindale (talk) 17:22, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

See if the revised format proves helpful. Existing format includes a lot of controversies that may not comply with WP:UNDUE. Irrespective of that interpretation, if included they would be more compliant with WP:BLP if listed in the following format:

• election information
  
• legislative accomplishments
  
• legal/cultural controversies

That makea sense. I think what I had been getting at is there is alot of information out there regarding her but it was disjointed and all over the place in separate articles. I believed there was enough out there in the public interest that its good to have at least some of it in one place. Thank you again for your edits. JoanTEditor (talk) 01:58, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Well, a better structure is in place now for you to follow so happy editing. Corkindale (talk) 02:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
