Bethbcpr, I'm confused. What you are asking to be changed to is exactly what the current article already says. So what is the problem? (I'd also note that there are some issues that I will attempt to fix, including formatting, and that IMDb is not an acceptable source). Thank you Melcous (talk) 23:02, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MelcousShould I send specific requests for changes rather than copying all the text? I thought that given that Colin asked me to update this page, I should copy and paste the entire set of text. I added info. about Camerimage and references to his work with various artists. Bethbcpr (talk) 23:19, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bethbcpr Ah ok. Copying out all the text makes it harder to see exactly what you are asking to be changed or added, so yes specific requests are preferable. The easiest thing to do is to take it one or two issues at a time. So for some simple examples of what an edit request might say:

The article current says X was born in 1950 please change it to "X was born in 1951" (with reference for the correct year of birth)
In the paragraph about awards, please add X won Y award (with reference for the award)

I hope that helps! Melcous (talk) 23:26, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
