Non-neutral additions to this page

I have again reverted recent additions to the page because they do not adhere to our WP:NPOV policy. In particular, the large block quote from Caroll's campaign website and the long list of endorsements are campaign-like and encyclopedic. Endorsements typically go on the election page, in this case that would be here: United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado, 2016. Please don't restore these edits without discussing here first and gaining WP:CONSENSUS. In general, with your first edits its best to start out small rather than making too many major edits at once.

Note from Morgan Carroll's intern

Sorry! Unintended - I'm new to Wikipedia and just saw your message. Still figuring out the system. As full disclosure, I am an unpaid intern with Morgan and have been tasked with updating the page (note as of 9/6/16 photo was from 2006, did not include her tenure in the Colorado House of Representatives in the infobox, listed her as running for the Democratic nomination, not as the candidate etc). I wish to fully honor Wikipedia's standards, but also fairly quickly develop a page comparable to that of other public figures to include legislation she has sponsored and committees she has served on. All guidance and assistance in accountability welcomed. I can post all intended edits here for external review for neutrality before updating the page if that is amenable to the community, and will remove any campaign sources. Please let me know if at the moment it is okay to restore the updated Infobox to include Colorado House of Representatives tenure, Education and background section, and Personal Life.

Thank you for disclosing your connection to the article's subject. The first step is to acquaint yourself with Wikipedia's WP:COI policy. You should avoid directly editing the article text. Instead, if you have suggested edits, please use Template:Request edit on this talk page. This will summon other editors to this page who can look at your content and add it to the article if it complies with Wikipedia policies. Key policies to keep in mind when suggesting content are WP:PROMOTION, WP:RS, WP:SECONDARY, and WP:NPOV. Champaign Supernova (talk) 21:40, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the information, and will do! Slichtin (talk) 22:10, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Slichtin[reply]

This also seems like an important edit; given your sourcing, I have added it to the page. Recommend fleshing out the citations so they are not just URLs! Fbv65edel — t — c // 04:20, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some Proposed Changes to intro

Hi there, I am an intern with Morgan Carroll and would like to suggest 3 small additions to the opening section of the page (mentioning Carroll's tenure as a state representative, that she stepped down as minority leader to run for US Congress, and her specializations at her law firm).

To add to the Infobox:

Given WP:COI, I ask that this be added, or added in an edited form, to the page if it complies with WP:PROMOTION and WP:NPOV.

edits in bold.
