  Clarification requested  

1. It's unclear from your request where this information is to be placed within the article. The article itself is strictly segmented into varying sections. Please elaborate on where each sentence is to be placed.
2. When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{ Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n. Thank you!

Thanks for your speedy review. I included my edits in a version of the article and then undid my changes. Can you please review what I did, and see if you can accept it? Thank you! https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Theatre_Development_Fund&diff=prev&oldid=1190597112 -- Divaraven5 ( talk) 20:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Thank you for reply, but we need to have to specifics placed here on the talk page. WP:ER states In general, if you want to make an edit request (1) propose a specific change on a talk page as well as the acronym SUNY, where S refers to any edit request must be accompanied by a detailed and specific description of what changes need to be made (the italicized emphasis is in the original text), and clearly indicate which sections or phrases should be replaced or added to, and what they should be replaced with or have added. Examples: Change X to Y; Insert X after/before Y; Remove X. As you can see, placing the specific information on a different page (in the form of a diff) other than the talk page, means your request is not accompaning its specific details as WP:ER suggests. Please place that information here and then relaunch the Edit COI template. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  00:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I would like propose additional changes.

Proposal 2: Add the following citation to the first sentence of the Irene Sharaff/Robert L.B. Tobin Awards section. ^[6]

Proposal 5: In the TDF Accessibility Program (TAP) section, the last line uses the phrase "handicapped people." In the disability community, the phrase is "people with disabilities," to align with people-first language.

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

Proposal 1: In the intro paragraph, after "Created in 1968 to help an ailing New York theatre industry" please add this citation: ^[1]

Proposal 2: Under Ticketing Programs, please add this citation to the TDF Membership Program: ^[2]

Proposal 3: Under Ticketing Programs, please add this citation to after "Times Square TKTS Booth on June 25, 1973": ^[3]

Proposal 4: Under Ticketing Programs, it says "TDF operates satellite TKTS booths at the South Street Seaport and in Downtown Brooklyn." Both of these booths have been closed for years, so please delete them. Also note that there's no citation for these TKTS booths.

Proposal 5: Under the TDF Accessibility Program (TAP) section, can we please rewrite the Sign language interpreting performances blurb like so and add the citations: TDF presented the first American Sign Language-interpreted performance on Broadway in 1980 at The Elephant Man. ^[4]

Since then, TDF regularly presents ASL-interpreted performances on Broadway and beyond. ^[5]

Thanks for considering all this!

 Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Except for the line Since then, TDF regularly presents ASL-interpreted performances on Broadway and beyond, which seems a bit promotional.
