Edit requests to the Intro and Early life sections

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Richard A. Baker (businessman). (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.

Hi. I am Alexandra and I work for HBC. I hope you will be able to make the following edits which will update the article.

In the introductory section, after the first sentence, please replace the rest of the paragraph with the following: "He is the governor, CEO and executive chairman of HBC^[1], executive chairman of each of HBC's portfolio companies and the owner of National Realty and Development Corp. (NRDC), a US-based private real estate development company.^[2]"
Please remove "a Jewish family in" from the first sentence in the Early life section. This information is not needed to further the understanding of Baker's history.
Also, in the "Early life" section, please remove "Equity Partners" right after "NRDC^[3]" and add the new source. The source shows that it is called NRDC without the addition of "Equity Partners."
In the following sentence in the "Early life" section please replace "He has one sister, Lauren" with "He has one brother, Nelson, and two sisters, Lauren and Ashley.^[3]"
Lastly, please remove "where he was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity." The source does not support this statement.
