Today, Graywalls tagged this page with the suspicion that Jay94103 was an undisclosed paid editor. I am writing in response to this.
Disclosure for relevance to present conversation: I am a former employee of the Coalition on Homeless &, in fact, created this page while I was an employee back in 2007. At the time, there was no paid contribution disclosure requirement. I last worked for the Coalition in 2016. It looks like my last edit to this page was in 2010. Reviewing my own contributions ten years ago: I did a bad job.
I suspect that Jay94103 is a former Coalition on Homelessness employee, but I do not know that. The Coalition on Homelessness has—& has always had—very few employees & a large number of unpaid volunteers. It is possible that this person is or was in the latter category. I think it very likely from Jay94103's editing history that they had some relationship to the organisation at the time of editing. But I also think it unlikely that this person meets (or met) the criteria for the paid disclosure requirement.
I e-mailed the current director of the Coalition on Homelessness just under half an hour ago, & she wrote back that she did not have any knowledge of an employee editing the organisation's Wikipedia page. If this were a court, I wouldn't expect a judge to say: 'Well, they say they didn't do it, so I guess we gots to acquit.' On the other hand, I don't see what evidence there is for these edits' being paid edits other than that Jay94103 is clearly a single-purpose account belonging to a person who felt some alignment with the organisation. Plenty of editors who are enthusiastic about a cause—& who may edit from a non-NPOV—are not paid to do so.
I'd like to see this moved forward. Today is the first time that I've encountered this policy, so please forgive me if I've got the appropriate course of action wrong. It seems from WP:PAID like the steps are:

Hi editors, there are numerous places in the article where a number was written in superscript above a word. Does anyone know if this was supposed to be a footnote? If so, what citation was it directed to? I removed these instances in the text but you can see its implementation in previous versions of this article. Z1720 ( talk) 00:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
