Gillian Sorensen has retired from the U.N., but she remains active in the field. I would like to change the opening paragraph to the following:

<<Gillian Sorensen has had a long career working for the United Nations, most prominently as Assistant Secretary-General for External Relations on appointment by Kofi Annan. She is a frequent public speaker, having addressed audiences as diverse as Rotary International; West Point Military Academy; and the United States Air Force Academy; university students; journalists, and leaders of civil society. She works with groups committed to peace, justice, development, refugees, and human rights and has recently addressed a National Model United Nations (NMUN) with students from over 130 countries.>>

This would be more accurate than the current entry, which lists here as still working at the U.N. And then I would add appropriate links and footnotes, for example, for her address to Rotary International (available on YouTube), her recent address to the NMUN, etc.

I have attempted to make these changes several times, but they have been rejected. To be sure, the information needs to be updated, since the current entry states that Sorensen works at the U.N., which no longer is the case.

May I proceed without having these changes rejected? I was directed to this Talk page by Dlohcierekim as a way to deal with the matter.

Thank you, devorahanna. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devorahanna (talk • contribs) 15:42, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
