I've turned off the aspect of the edit request template that attracts the attention of people willing to help you. You did not fill in the needed details for someone to act on your request.

You also asked a related question on your own talk page User talk:Susan5615#Summary box in upper right hand corner, which I found first and provided what I hope is enough information for you to able to make your edits yourself, assuming there is no conflict of interest. You have edited the article many times in the past, so if there is a conflict of interest we have a small problem. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:17, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, jmcgnh. Yes, It has been confusing (vs. my initial input in 2018). I did get help recently from another volunteer who removed the conflict sign.

This is what should go into the upper right corner box:

@Susan5615: This is an improvement over what you had before, since we can now see what it is that you think should be changed in the infobox. The problem remains that infobox content must be verifiable from published sources. It is incumbent on you to propose changes to the body of the article, including supporting references, that would then allow infobox data to be be filled in. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:49, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request that a Wikipedia Volunteer Response Team member delete the following heading:

“This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)

This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (December 2022)

This article relies excessively on references to primary sources. (December 2022)”

When I retired I volunteered to assist a Judge. Initially I created his Wikipedia page when he was appointed to the Superior Court in 2018; now he has been appointed to the Court of Appeals. Judge Diaz sent me the update in October – I have not authored any of the information; to me that does not appear to be a “conflict.” But then again, I am not a computer scientist – and I do not know how to code updates. I am an 80-year-old Grandma.

I have tried numerous times to insert lines in the Summary Box, to indicate Judge Diaz’ previous position as Superior Court Judge, and have been unsuccessful. That appointment is mentioned in the State Judicial Service paragraph, so there is not a need to add the position and who he succeeded as he requested.

So the only thing I am asking a Team member to do is to remove the “multiple issues” box. I have spent more than 40 hours (since October) on this update and now I need to stop and buy Christmas gifts for my grandchildren. I promise I will never again volunteer to do anything related to Wikipedia. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Susan5615 Susan5615 (talk) 23:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The multiple issues template cannot be removed until the issues are resolved. Geordie (talk) 03:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
