I've uploaded a photograph and submitted at OTRS ticket for File:Jonathan Karp.jpg. Is someone willing to add this image to the infobox on my behalf? @ GeoffreyT2000: I am pinging you since you moved the draft into main space. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 16:28, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am back with a very simple request, based on a conversation about Mr. Karp about his father’s stated occupation. Currently, the article says, "His parents worked as a schoolteacher and a bank president." I'd like to update the text to say, "His mother worked as a schoolteacher and his father served as chairman and chief executive officer at a bank." per this source Archived 2017-03-08 at the Wayback Machine and this source. Here is markup for the two sources, which can be added as additional inline citations:
Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason ( talk) 17:14, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

TonyBallioni, I see we are like-minded. I think the list of books he edited needs to go as well. I don't want to say that's strutting around with someone else's feathers (as the Dutch say), but I'm thinking it. Drmies ( talk) 01:31, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello! On behalf of the subject and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to submit a few requests to improve this biography, which has been updated some since late 2017 but remains outdated. I will offer suggestions here on the Talk page for other editors to review and implement appropriately, and will not make changes myself given my COI. For easier review, I've saved a copy of the current markup as a user subpage, created a diff showing all proposed changes, and added highlighting to identify text additions/changes in green and text relocations in orange. You can view my proposed version in its entirety here.
As you can see, I've proposed some updates to the introduction and the Career section, and I've also suggested adding a Bibliography section and a couple links with notable YouTube interviews to the External links section. Recognizing this may be a lot for editors to review at once, I'd like to submit a series of edit requests for easier review and implementation.

I'd like to start with perhaps the least controversial change to relocate select existing text to keep related content together. Currently, the biography gives an overview of the subject's editing and publishing career, then displays a Theatre subsection (which has an update at the bottom about his publishing career), then displays a Controversy section about his publishing career. It does not make sense to have the Theatre section in the middle of content about his editing and publishing career. Therefore, to keep all content about his editing and publishing career together, I propose relocating the following pieces of text:
At least for now, I am only proposing to move existing text, with no other text changes. If helpful, you can see where I've placed these pieces of text by finding the orange highlights at User:Inkian Jason/Jonathan Karp. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Next, I'd like to propose adding a Bibliography section and links to two interviews on notable programs ( The Howard Stern Show and One on One with Steve Adubato) via YouTube.
For the Bibliography, I propose adding the subject's contribution to What editors do : the art, craft, and business of book editing (2017). Following is markup for the entry:
Also, at the bottom of the External links section, I propose adding YouTube links to the subject's interviews on The Howard Stern Show and One on One with Steve Adubato:
Again, if helpful, you can see how these are displayed in my proposed draft in green highlighting at User:Inkian Jason/Jonathan Karp. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 19:23, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Next, I'd like to address the Not a resume section above. Back in 2017, users DGG, Drmies, and TonyBallioni decided to trim some previous content about books the subject had edited and authors with whom he had collaborated. I had no problem with this decision, as I wasn't sure exactly how much detail to include about the subject's work and felt their decision was reasonable. However, these editors also seemed willing to credit the subject for notable contributions to specific works as sources allow. Therefore, I propose adding the following three claims to the Career section, which describe specific books for which the subject was the principal acquirer and publisher (not just completing editorial work):
References
I propose adding these sentences to the ends of the paragraphs about the subject's publishing work at Random House, Twelve, and Simon & Schuster (prior to his promotion to CEO), respectively. If helpful, you can see how these proposed additions appear in my updated draft in green highlighting here.
My goal here is to mention specific (and the most notable) books he acquired and published, offering readers a trimmed down summary of his contributions and accomplishments. I'd like to think DGG, Drmies, and TonyBallioni would see these as appropriate replacements for the content removed back in 2017. I invite them and other editors to please review my proposed additions and update the biography appropriately. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 20:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Editing or publishing in the sense used here is normally a business proposition--though there are a few exceptions where an editor did have a major creative role). This is not to say the role is necessarily minor --its a critically important part of the business of book publishing, DGG ( talk ) 22:22, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I'd like to submit another request to relocate select existing text to improve the article's flow and readability. I propose moving the following text from the editing/publishing section to the Theatre subsection and changing the heading from Theatre to Theatre and television:

Hi again! I'm back to submit an edit request proposing updates to this biography on behalf of the subject.
Currently, the article says "On 29 May 2020, he became the CEO of Simon & Schuster" but offers no other details about his tenure in this role. I propose the following updates, following this text:

I'd like to propose three additions to the Career section. The first describes the subject's longstanding relationship with John McCain. The other two are about the subject's stance on publishing political books.

Hello again! I'd like to propose an addition to the paragraph starting with "In 2022, Simon & Schuster sold 900 autographed copies of Bob Dylan's book of essays..." Per the Los Angeles Times and so the text doesn't suggest the subject is solely responsible, I suggest adding the following text:

Hello! I'd like to address the introduction, which currently suggests the subject no longer serves as CEO of Simon & Schuster. In order to clarify his roles, I propose replacing the current introduction with the following, per The New York Times and Publishers Weekly:
