here: Thank you for your timely response.
. While it is nice that you say "thanks", the "timely response" bit is .... frankly offensive here in Wikipedia. I have worked in university and business contexts and I understand using, and have used, that kind of language when there is an actual deadline of some sort. Wikipedia is not a context like that.
You are getting paid to work on the article. Whoever asked you to work on this, perhaps put pressure on you to get this done quickly.
But Wikipedia is a volunteer project, and there are no deadlines in Wikipedia. I am not your "customer service agent" and I am not a fellow Columbia employee who has an obligation to work with you, much less "timely".
If there were some kind of WP:BLP issue, (for instance if the article were vandalized to make the claim that Harcourt is a murderer or something) there would be urgency to fix this, under the policies of Wikipedia. But the specific changes you are asking for in the diff above, are just more routine updates. Not urgent in the context of Wikipedia. For what it is worth, I advise you to to never place those kinds of demands, implicit or explicit, on volunteers here. It is a huge turnoff. Jytdog ( talk) 19:41, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
