The backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient.
There are currently 894 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 have a close connection to the subject and have contributed photographs of Jay Gard and his work to Wikimedia Commons. I have therefore prepared a revised draft rather than making the substantial changes directly to the article.

The proposed draft is here: User:Jens Meunann/Jay Gard draft

The current article is largely based on older material. The proposed version updates the biography and work through 2026, uses a shorter encyclopedic structure, adds recent independent and institutional sources, updates the images, and removes the long lists of further reading and videos.

I would appreciate an independent review of the draft and, if appropriate, its implementation in the article.
