Edit request

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

This article lists Kevin Roberts as an attorney, which he is not. He works as the Chief Operating Officer of the Lanier Law Firm (as listed on his LinkedIn page here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-roberts-2a89691/), however, this is not a legal position. As you can see on LinkedIn, he never attended law school. I would request the removal of the Personal life section of his profile (which contains no information on his personal life), and rewriting the introduction of his page to say: Kevin Dale Roberts (born January 16, 1966) is a businessman and current Chief Operating Officer of the Lanier Law Firm. He formerly served as a one-term member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 126 in Harris County. He resides in Spring, Texas. WriteJames (talk) 18:33, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Claim removed

The claim to being an attorney was omitted.
The COI editor is reminded that if they receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution they make, they must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation to comply with Wikipedia's terms of use and the policy on paid editing. The current disclosure made on WriteJames' user page is insufficient, in that it does not disclose in this instance who has paid for these suggested edits or whom the client is.^[a]

Notes

^ If Androvett Legal Media & Marketing is the COI editor's employer, their disclosure in this instance still does not state whom the client is. Both the employer and the client need to be disclosed.

Edit request (1/2/20)

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

Requesting that the last sentence in the 2018 Election section be removed. The sentence reads, "The day following the run-off election, Roberts posted an apology for anyone offended during the campaign before removing all of his political social media accounts." There's no source listed. WriteJames (talk) 20:24, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
