Hello Ser Amantio di Nicolao & other editors.
First, Since I'm here, let me say that I cannot thank you enough for your work. I love Wikipedia, rely on it every day and make a contribution to the fund every year. It is a treasure.
I am not sure I am going about this in the right way, but I am writing to ask for a slight correction to my page.
The entry [at the bottom of the Journalism section] currently reads "In November 2021, 4 articles authored by Floyd that were published on the WNYC news site Gothamist between March and October 2021 were retracted for plagiarism.[30]"[citing Marc Tracy/NYT]. I am requesting that you change the word plagiarism since Marc Tracy never reported the articles were "retracted for plagiarism." Instead, he very carefully reported, throughout his article, that the articles were removed for lack of proper attribution, based upon his reporting and the language from the Gothamist website, "After publishing this story, WNYC found it contained unattributed words or phrases. We have decided to retract this article and are investigating the editing process that led to this mistake.”
This may seem like hair-splitting, but it is not. Mr. Tracy very deliberately does not use the word "plagiarism," because he did not want to libel me with reporting that was inaccurate and I would respectfully and kindly ask Wikipedia to change its language to reflect what was reported in the NYT, i.e., what actually is actually reflected on our website at WNYC/Gothamist: "...articles authored by Floyd that were published on the WNYC news site Gothamist between March and October 2021 were retracted for lack of proper attribution to original sources."
The findings at WNYC around the 4 articles are specific and very important. I know Wikipedia editors care very much about getting the facts right. I'm happy to discuss this further, if helpful, since I know it is nuanced. But it is more than semantic. It is about factual accuracy. Thank you for you time and consideration.

Hello editors,
I hope you will add some new information to the Jami Floyd page. I don't want to edit myself because that violates Wikipedia policy.
Here is the link to the Complaint [Jami Floyd v. New York Public Radio (WNYC) in federal court on 2/8/23. file:///Users/jamifloyd/Downloads/Floyd%20v.%20NYPR%20-%20Complaint%20-%20FILED%202-9-2023.pdf
Here's another way to view the lawsuit: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.593702/gov.uscourts.nysd.593702.1.0.pdf
Judge Andrew Carter was assigned on Friday 2/10. (see attached)
There is also press coverage.

Also I would like to state again that I did not resign "from WNYC following the release of the report." There was never any report (at least not one that I ever saw. I never saw 45 articles. And I told the station as early as March 27th that I would be leaving to pursue a book deal. The book deal was announced in trade pubs on April 4, 2022.
Thank you for your consideration. JamiFloyd ( talk) 20:26, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
