Edit request

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at P. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

This article lists Kevin Roberts as an attorney, which he is not. He works as the Chief Operating Officer of the Lanier Law Firm (as listed on his LinkedIn page here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-roberts-2a89691/), however, this is not a legal position. As you can see on LinkedIn, he never attended law school. I would request the removal of the Personal life section of his profile (which contains no information on his personal life), and rewriting the introduction of his page to say: Kevin Dale Roberts (born January 16, 1966) is a businessman and current Chief Operating Officer of the Lanier Law Firm. He formerly served as a one-term member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 126 in Harris County. He resides in Spring, Texas. WriteJames (talk) 18:33, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Claim removed

The claim to being an attorney was omitted.
The COI editor is reminded that if they receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution they make, they must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation to comply with Wikipedia's terms of use and the policy on paid editing. The current disclosure made on WriteJames' user page is insufficient, in that it does not disclose in this instance who has paid for these suggested edits or whom the client is.^[a]

Notes

^ If Androvett Legal Media & Marketing is the COI editor's employer, their disclosure in this instance still does not state whom the client is. Both the employer and the client need to be disclosed.
