 Not done for now: Please see Spintendo's comments, we need to know where to put these requested items, please amend the original request or reply below to let us know. Thanks :) Lewcm Talk to me! 21:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

🔼  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!

Regards,  Spintendo  01:34, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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/w/index.php?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]

Thanks for your response. Please add the following citations:

Request 1: On October 2, 2011, TDF launched a new program, Autism Friendly Performances (originally known as the Autism Theatre Initiative), to make theatre accessible to children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as their families.[1]

The next three requests should all appear under the TDF Accessibility Program (TAP) section of the Article.

Request 2:

Audio described performances

TDF presents audio described performances for audiences who are blind or have low vision. The organization presented its first audio described Broadway performance, the musical Grease, in 2008.[2]

Request 3:

New citations and language tweak

I would like propose additional changes.

Proposal 1: Add the following citation to the first sentence of the The Wendy Wasserstein Project section. [5]

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

Proposal 3: Add the following sentence and citation to the beginning of the TDF Costume Collection section: In 1974, the TDF Costume Collection opens, renting costumes to nonprofit and commercial productions.[7]

Proposal 4: Citations 1 and 2 of the Theatre Development Fund article are the same. Please combine.

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.
