Hello,

I am the subject of this article, Tanya Steel, and I would like to propose several improvements to ensure the entry complies with Wikipedia’s neutrality and sourcing standards.

I understand Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines and will not directly make substantive edits to the article. Instead, I am submitting below the following changes for review by independent editors:

Adding independent, reliable sources (e.g., The New York Times) to support key roles and initiatives
Removing or improving citations that rely on primary or affiliated sources
Adding additional internal links from related articles to address the “orphan” status

Thank you for your time and for helping improve the article.

Also, I added an internal link on my name on the Epicurious and International Association of Culinary Professionals. Also, under the Foundation section in Julia Child I put a talk comment that perhaps they mention leadership and also include link to me as Award Director.
