Good afternoon - I noticed that you undid some of my good faith edits on [[Chris Hollins (politician)]] page, saying that they were not helpful. I returned them to what they were previously because what was there prior was grammatically incorrect and a poor description of his relevancy. However, I am interested in understanding why you said my edits were not helpful and why you believe your edits are somehow more helpful.

Specifically, you deleted the highlighted section below which is helpful given that it speaks to thoughts regarding the mayoral race which it appears you slated an additional title for:

You also said these issues weren't cited which, as you can see, they were.

You also keep putting interim clerk back in, but he was not the interim clerk. While he is sometimes referred to that way, more credible sources do not cite him as such because an interim leader is only situated until a permanent option is elected. Thus an interim leader would be replaced by a special election. In this case, Mr. Hollins retained office until the next regular election such that he was not interim.

You deleted a tweet as a reference from a verified source and a quote from the current mayor of Houston which I also do not understand and you replace language regarding Phi Beta Kappa Honors which is incorrect because I am the one who initially drafted that language and had to revisit how that is actually supposed to be written.

Finally, Hollins is not a personal injury attorney because he does not only take personal injury cases. He practices a variety of legal areas.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollinslawgroup.com/other-practice-areas.html|title=Other practice areas at our firm}}</ref>

Checkers

Good afternoon - I noticed that you undid some of my good faith edits on Chris Hollins (politician) page, saying that they were not helpful. I returned them to what they were previously because what was there prior was grammatically incorrect and a poor description of his relevancy. However, I am interested in understanding why you said my edits were not helpful and why you believe your edits are somehow more helpful.

Specifically, you deleted the highlighted section below which is helpful given that it speaks to thoughts regarding the mayoral race which it appears you slated an additional title for:

Political analyst note that the race will be a "high-octane competition" given Hollins' rise to popularity during his time as Harris County Clerk during the 2020 Presidential Election.[1][2] Political analyst note that the race will be a "high-octane competition" given Hollins' rise to popularity during his time as Harris County Clerk during the 2020 Presidential Election.[3][4]

You also said these issues weren't cited which, as you can see, they were.

You also keep putting interim clerk back in, but he was not the interim clerk. While he is sometimes referred to that way, more credible sources do not cite him as such because an interim leader is only situated until a permanent option is elected. Thus an interim leader would be replaced by a special election. In this case, Mr. Hollins retained office until the next regular election such that he was not interim.

You deleted a tweet as a reference from a verified source and a quote from the current mayor of Houston which I also do not understand and you replace language regarding Phi Beta Kappa Honors which is incorrect because I am the one who initially drafted that language and had to revisit how that is actually supposed to be written.

Finally, Hollins is not a personal injury attorney because he does not only take personal injury cases. He practices a variety of legal areas.[5]
