Dear fellow Wikipedia users,

My name is Ryan Karkas and I am a Program Intern for the City of Reno, Mayor's Office working under Mayor Hillary Schieve. I have written this article at the request of Hillary, and will continue to make constant changes to make the article accurate and factual.

Thank you, Rkarkas Rkarkas ( talk) 19:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Hillary Schieve fits notability. She's the Mayor of the 2nd largest city in the state. That city has a population of 250,000 people. I believe there is sufficient outside information to warrant this person continuing to have a Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpen320 ( talk • contribs)

On February 23rd, 2016, I (Ryan Karkas) added some more citation as well as a picture taken from http://renocitynv.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_BoardMember.aspx?ID=1148 This website is owned under the City of Reno and allowed for its picture use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkarkas ( talk • contribs) 23:26, 23 February 2016‎ (UTC) reply

@ Rkarkas: To be clear, the city has donated that image under a free license, so it's available for any derivative reuse, including commercial reuse? — C.Fred ( talk) 00:45, 26 February 2016 (UTC) reply

C.Fred You are correct sir. Thank you for your concern. I am somewhat new to Wikipedia, and I appreciate your feedback!

Dear Wikipedia users, My name is Ryan Karkas and I am a Program Intern for the City of Reno, Mayor's Office. Today on March 4th, 2016 I updated Hillary Schieve's article picture. This is an original headshot photo taken directly from office HR.

Thank you, Ryan K. Rkarkas ( talk) 23:13, 4 March 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Rkarkas: Please review the tag added to File:HR Head Shot.jpg (not by me!) about lack of permission about the image. You will need to email Wikimedia Commons to affirm that you have ownership of the image and have released it into the public domain. — C.Fred ( talk) 14:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC) reply

( talk) Thank you C. Fred. I'll make sure to email the Wikipedia Commons right away. Could you send me the email address here please?

RKarkas Rkarkas ( talk) 23:01, 8 March 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Rkarkas: Sorry, I don't have the address. You'd need to check at Commons, unless somebody else watching this talk page knows. — C.Fred ( talk) 02:36, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply

My name is Rick Caldeira, Chief of Staff to Mayor Schieve, City of Reno. I made several corrections to her bio and her party affiliation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caldeirar ( talk • contribs) 21:43, 2 September 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Caldeirar: I would ask you to confirm that Mayor Schieve did not attend Arizona State University; the article has indicated that for a couple years at least(which doesn't mean it's true, but I assume it wasn't just made up); I would also ask about her party affiliation; is she not a member of the Democratic Party? (one can be a member of the party even if not holding a partisan office; as an example technically the Nebraska Legislature is nonpartisan). Thanks 331dot ( talk) 18:47, 4 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Mayor Schieve did attend Arizona State University, although she did not graduate from Arizona State University.

In addition, this webpage continually claims that Mayor Schieve is a Democrat. She continues to be a Non-Partisan and I have tried on numerous occasions to get this amended to no avail. Additionally, I would encourage you to utilize her updated bio page from the City of Reno website to refresh your outdated and inaccurate information.

@ Caldeirar: I apologize for the confusion. I had looked through the history of the article and I'm not sure how it got changed to her being a Democrat, but I think there was some confusion about the fact that many Democrats supported her led someone to assume she was one as well. I've fixed the party listing in the template. Regarding her official bio, as it is her city government it would not be an independent reliable source, but a primary source. It could be used for certain factual information like her birthdate and such. 331dot ( talk) 16:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC) reply

@ Caldeirar: I would stress that as her chief of staff you really should avoid editing the article directly, and instead request changes you feel are needed on this page. 331dot ( talk) 16:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC) reply

I would request the following be added "Hillary’s other key issues are economic growth, public safety, regional cooperation and senior services. One of her major issues is the reformation and revitalization of downtown. Hillary has made it a priority since assuming office to put funding toward creating a downtown environment that attracts residents, students, businesses and visitors. She was named in Politico Magazine’s “America’s 11 Most Interesting Mayors” article. The piece refers to her as “The re-inventor” for her role in the positive transformation of Reno, which is “becoming a hub for tech entrepreneurs and companies, pulling coders and data analysts from far more expensive Silicon Valley four hours to the west.” Pursuant to http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/25/most-interesting-mayors-america-215295 Caldeirar ( talk) 17:26, 7 July 2017 (UTC) reply

I've tried to add a reference to that source in an encyclopedic style. 331dot ( talk) 19:21, 7 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Thank you very much for your assistance on getting this page corrected. I am also curious how we can get the following removed:

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages) A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject.

Thank you again Caldeirar ( talk) 19:37, 7 July 2017 (UTC) reply

I think the issues given in the tags are resolved, so I removed them. The COI one certainly is, at least. 331dot ( talk) 19:41, 7 July 2017 (UTC) reply
