Request: review and remove COI/AI-generated tags (BLP neutral rewrite with sources)

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Brett Leatherman. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 283 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Disclosure: I am the subject of this article. Per WP:BLP and WP:NPOV, I replaced placeholder language and added independent sources (Washington Post, Reuters, CyberScoop, Nextgov/FCW) to support neutral statements. I did not remove any tags.

Request:

• Please review the current version for neutrality and sourcing.
• If compliant with WP:NPOV and WP:BLP, please remove and from the lead; if not, I’d appreciate specific next steps.

Thank you for your response - would you recommend I remove this and submit via the AfC process instead? Or, should I simply keep it here and wait for someone to review neutrality. Being new - your advice is welcome and helpful. Thanks! ~2025-33793-68 (talk) 15:47, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
