This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary.

I am requesting this edit on behalf of Robert A. Ungaro, one of Sue Mingus’s children, and therefore disclose a conflict of interest.

The Personal life section presently states: “Together, they had two children.” Please revise it to read:

“Together, they had two children, Susanna and Roberto Ungaro.”

The JazzTimes obituary identifies both children:

Thank you. RobertUngaro (talk) 03:06, 20 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done. Unless her children are notable themselves, this is not a necessary addition for the page. Heartmusic678 (talk) 19:30, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Sue Mingus. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 877 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. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

I am Robert A. Ungaro, president of Jazz Workshop, Inc., and therefore disclose a conflict of interest.

The opening paragraph presently states that the Mingus Big Band “was managed by” Sue Mingus. Because Sue Mingus died in 2022, please replace that sentence with:

“The ensemble was managed by Mingus’s widow, Sue Mingus, until her death in 2022. Jazz Workshop, Inc., which oversees the Mingus repertory ensembles, currently identifies Robert Ungaro as president and Shannon Manning as director of operations.”

Sources:

https://www.jazztimes.com/features/tributes-and-obituaries/sue-mingus-1930-2022/

https://www.charlesmingus.com/about-jazz-workshop

The first source confirms Sue Mingus’s death. The second identifies the organization’s current officers and responsibilities.

Thank you. RobertUngaro (talk) 03:10, 20 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Comment: It appears like this request may be for the Mingus Big Band page. If so, you may want to move your request over to that talk page so it can be answered appropriately. Heartmusic678 (talk) 19:33, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

This page was redesigned at the edge.
