Problematic edits in May 2025--recommend deletion

Improper "promotional" material was added in May 2025, giving misleading information purporting to identify certain individuals as tribal governance leaders (including the title "Chief") of the Piscataway Conoy. A self-promoting "press release" is cited as authority. But the persons (and the website) being promoted by the problematically tendentious edit are in fact not recognized as legitimate leadership by the actual Piscataway Conoy tribal council, which recognizes entirely different leadership and also designates representative tribal participants in the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. 2600:4040:24D8:2500:30F3:8597:1CF9:C2CF (talk) 07:48, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, for deletion are the following improper and inaccurate edits:

<<In 2017, Jesse James Swann Jr. was offered the position of Chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe after years of community disagreement against many tribal councilmembers. Chief Swann has become a notable leader through his direct aid, cultural preservation, youth development, and community unification efforts. Recognizing the current status of the Piscataway Conoy Tribal Community, he transitioned initiatives to be supported by Through Piscataway Eyes TPE Inc., the nonprofit organization designated to aiding the Piscataway Conoy Tribe.

The mission statement to the nonprofit organization: "Through Piscataway Eyes (TPE), Inc. is dedicated to fostering a resilient future for the Piscataway Conoy Tribe. Our overarching objectives are to empower the Piscataway Conoy Tribal Community; nurture the next generation of leaders; document, record, and share Piscataway Histories; facilitate access to vital resources, services, and direct aid; raise support of long-term and modern solutions; and cultivate a sustainably prosperous tribal infrastructure for generations to come."

With the help of a nonprofit organization, Chief Swann has implemented various programs to provide aid for Piscataway Conoy Tribe, such as the Health & Safety Net, Native Higher Education, Food Sovereignty, Cultural Preservation, and Piscataway LandBack programs. Chief Swann repeatably speaks on the sacrifices that must be made to support the next seven generations of Piscataway People, often emphasizing what must be done to sustain the tribal community. With land acquired under his leadership, Chief Swann is organizing large-scale investments for a tribal office, cultural museum, community center, health clinic, and other necessary tribal infrastructure.>>

Also for deletion is the self-promoting and inaccurate biographical addition under the heading "Notable historical Piscataway" lauding Jesse James Swann Jr., which appears to have been prepared either by Mr. Swann himself or by someone with a direct interest in making claims on behalf of Mr. Swann.2600:4040:24D8:2500:30F3:8597:1CF9:C2CF (talk) 08:03, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
