Request edit on 17 October 2014

Hello! I am attempting to clean up the references on Catherine Gund's page. I was told it's best to submit changes piecemeal. So, I am only including 4 changes. Please let me know if you can suggest a better way to go about submitting these changes. Thanks!

Reason: replacing primary document with publication

 Done. Improvements to sourcing, particularly replacing primary with reliable secondary sources, are non-controversial changes that you are welcome to do yourself. The same is true for correcting trivial errors, such as spelling or grammar, or reverting obvious vandalism. The Wikipedia community is more concerned by editors with a conflict of interest making substantial changes to content without prior review, because such changes often introduce a non-neutral point of view. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Cleanup

Good job cleaning up the article. The only real issue that remains is fleshing out the lead paragraph to provide a brief overview of the body of the article.

Just one or two sentences indicating what's significant about her would be sufficient; something like: "Several of her films have been featured in film festivals and on national television networks, and her film A Touch of Greatness was nominated for an Emmy". ~Amatulić (talk) 00:43, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

The article seems to have been neavily edited by Aubinpics, who is clearly a COI editor, and the article is now skewed in favour of the achievements of Aubin Pictures, rather than Gund. Though Gund may have had significant creative input, as director, of several films that have subsequently had recognition, this needs to be proven with something more than just brief news mentions.

Cleanup Edits

Re: I fleshed out the lead article a tiny bit per your request. Can the notification at the top of the article be removed about the lead section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aubinpics (talk • contribs) 20:18, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
