COI request: replace outdated career information with sourced update

Latest comment: 27 days ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Andrew Harms. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 651 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.

Complete proposed replacement: User:Harms107/Andrew Harms draft

I am Andrew Harms, the subject of this article, and disclose that conflict of interest. I request that an uninvolved editor replace the outdated article with the sourced sandbox draft linked above, modifying or omitting material as needed under BLP, neutrality, and reliable-sourcing policies.

The current article incorrectly describes former ALT 98.7 and ALT 102.9 positions as current and contains dated, unsourced lists. The proposed draft updates the chronology through the Amazon Music period.

Strengthened sourcing: Variety independently confirms the 2020 Amazon Music appointment; HAPPENS lists the later Rock & Alt Programming Lead title; ABC Audio directly names Harms and Lilith Czar as Warped Tour livestream hosts; Billboard supports the 2016 ranking and programming-philosophy passage; Revolt confirms Harms as host of Sounds by the Sound; and an official Amazon Music LinkedIn employee spotlight describes his work as including playlist creation and viral billboard development.

The requested change is to replace the live article text with the sandbox draft while retaining only claims an independent editor finds adequately sourced. Harms107 (talk) 15:06, 13 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Following up on this COI request. I understand the full sandbox rewrite may be more than a volunteer editor can review quickly, so I would be grateful for consideration of a narrower first step focused only on correcting plainly outdated career information in the live article.

Specifically, the current article still says Harms is currently an afternoon-drive host on ALT 98.7 Los Angeles and ALT 102.9 Seattle, and assistant program director/music director for ALT 98.7. That information is outdated. Reliable sources support that he left ALT 98.7 in October 2020 and joined Amazon Music the following month as a U.S. rock and alternative programmer:

RadioInsight, "Andrew Harms Departing Alt 98.7" — https://radioinsight.com/headlines/200599/andrew-harms-departing-alt-98-7/
RAMP, "Harms & Stapleford Now Streaming" — https://ramp247.com/programming/harms-stapleford-now-streaming/
Variety, "Chris Booker Heads to iHeartRadio, Will Host Afternoons on Los Angeles' Alt 98.7" — https://variety.com/2020/music/news/chris-booker-heads-to-iheartradio-will-host-afternoons-on-los-angeles-alt-98-7-1234849167/

If a full replacement is too broad, I request that an uninvolved editor make only these limited updates:

1. Remove the "Harms is currently" list stating that he hosts ALT 98.7 / ALT 102.9 and serves as APD/MD for ALT 98.7. 2. Add a short sourced sentence that he left KYSR/ALT 98.7 in October 2020 and joined Amazon Music in November 2020 as a U.S. rock and alternative programmer. 3. Update the infobox/lead to avoid presenting former radio roles as current.

Suggested neutral replacement wording:

"Harms served as music director, assistant program director, and afternoon-drive host at KYSR/ALT 98.7 in Los Angeles. He left the station in October 2020 and joined Amazon Music the following month as a U.S. rock and alternative programmer."

I remain aware of my conflict of interest and am not asking to make the edit myself. Thank you for considering this narrower correction. Harms107 (talk) 13:33, 12 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
