My account has been unblocked. Perhaps you could be helpful with edits that would make this newly created page more factual and pertinent. It still has some factual errors. Errors I corrected, only to have wrong information restored. I appreciate your help.
Paragraph one.
Annies and Oscars are not awarded the year of release in most cases. While Moana was released in 2016, my Annie was awarded in 2017, as I stated. So please restore that. It is a quite verifiable fact.
Though in any case, lower case is not the way it should appear.
Here is the set of AMPAS governors for the 2024-2025 term.
My co-governor Bonnie Arnold has termed out. There are two governors of the Animation Branch for this term. You can see I am one of them. You might also note, as I have now pointed out multiple times, the newly elected Short Films Branch governor: Chris Tashima. Yet another source says that the Branch is now two branches.
https://www.oscars.org/news/academy-elects-2024-2025-board-governors
Please change that entry to reflect that.
I see C.Fred has used my proper job titles in the opening paragraph. Appreciated.
Strange there’d be pushback on IMDB for the proper credits and job titles, as whoever fashioned this page to begin with obviously used that to create the wholly accurate filmography included on this page.
One more thing, could you remove my child's first name from the last paragraph. Tim is a minor.
Looking forward to seeing these corrections. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Orangemike,
You deleted my article at: User:ZenSunflower/sandbox1 for promotional content. I would like to re-edit and fix until the article meets wiki standards.
1. I need help retrieving the contents of my article because I did not back it up.
2. I also need help understanding what parts of my article make it look promotional.
Please help!!!

Out of courtesy, I will send you the deleted content. But it is promotional: a mewling, groveling hagiography of an advertisement, and has no place in an encyclopedia. I honestly don't think there are more than fifteen words and maybe one reference that could be salvaged. --Orange Mike | Talk03:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240706032000","author":"Orangemike","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Orangemike-20240706032000-ZenSunflower-20240706024600","replies":["c-ZenSunflower-20240706041300-Orangemike-20240706032000"],"displayName":"Orange Mike"}}-->
OrangeMike,
1. Could you send me the entire contents of the deleted article? What I received was only a small part of it.
2. Could you please let me know of the one reference that is salvageable?

1. Done.
2. Upon further examination, the one which looked vaguely salvageable is in fact clearly not a reliable source. Every single source is either self-published or grossly violative of our neutral point of view requirements. --Orange Mike | Talk04:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240706045900","author":"Orangemike","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Orangemike-20240706045900-ZenSunflower-20240706041300","replies":[],"displayName":"Orange Mike"}}-->
