This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The request was not specific enough. You may consider leaving your comments on the Talk page or escalating significant issues to the conflict of interest noticeboard.

To help fix the inadequate sourcing of this BLP, I've suggested some references above, but I'd like to avoid editing this article because the subject is my coworker and friend. Thanks to anyone reviewing requested edits who might be interested! Dreamyshade (talk) 14:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dreamyshade. I've tested a few of the sources at random to make sure they said what you're saying they say. The content looks fine. Do you mind putting it into a draft in user-space rather than bullets, so it's easier to put in?CorporateM (Talk) 06:59, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Thank you CorporateM! I finally got around to this and put up a draft at User:Dreamyshade/Jay Freeman. I aimed to write it as a simple list of projects in a very neutral tone. It's a replacement for the current article up until the footer material (persondata and categories), which should be preserved from the current version.
