Page you were editing: Draft:Cheeky Charity (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I attempted to update the draft article “Cheeky Charity” to include two citations: (1) the organization’s participation in a March 2024 webinar hosted by the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (a project of the American Cancer Society and CDC), where the executive director was a featured speaker; and (2) a March 2023 article from Cancer Health magazine that highlights Cheeky Charity’s colorectal cancer awareness campaign. Both sources are reliable and independent. The article maintains a neutral tone and complies with notability and sourcing guidelines.

Description: I am trying to write a page about a senior fellow for several prominent think tanks, who is a prominent political writer, previously worked for the CIA, and has been the center of controversy over a weird social media policy that was set in several years ago but has since been rescinded. I do not see why writing about Mr. Ciaramella would not be allowed (I did not violate any policies from the Bio of living persons page to the best of my knowledge) but would love guidance about what issues I may be running into. Thank you so much!
