{{edit COI|a}}

As an editor with a stated conflict of interest, I am asking the Wiki community to revise this article and remove the content not relevant to this biography. Specifically, in the NYC Planning Commission subsection:

• Please remove the 4th paragraph which is a coatrack violation. It quotes Bloomberg and is not directly relevant to Burden.
• Please remove the 7th paragraph as it presents original research, misleadingly suggesting a correlation between the Furman Center's findings and Burden's policies and efforts despite Burden not being mentioned in the source.

Thank you for your attention and addressing these issues, DLARoss (talk) 12:47, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

: {{u|DLARoss}} I removed a sentence in the 7th paragraph that can be considered original research. I believe that the 4th paragraph, when read in context, clarifies the the Bloomberg and Burden's position, which seems to side-step the affordability issue. Seems legit to me so I left it. While editing the article, I removed some uncited claims. The claim of a birth date remains uncited in a reliable source. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:09, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you so much {{u|WomenArtistUpdates}} for you review and response. I have done some additional research and found sourcing for much of the material you removed as uncited.

::In the Career section, her role as Commissioner of NYC Planning Commission under Bloomberg can be sourced by [https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/rtf-architectural-reviews/a3727-tedtalk-for-architects-amanda-burden-how-public-spaces-make-cities-work/ this Rethinking the Future article] and [https://dianerehm.org/shows/2012-11-19/new-york-city-planning-commissioner-amanda-burden this intro on the Diane Rehm podcast].

::The [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/15/nyregion/15amanda.html New York Times article], currently used as source 5 in the article, states that Burden was a public school teacher in Harlem in the early 1970s and can be used again for this fact.

::In the Honors section:

::Burden, then 22, was named to the Best Dressed List of the New York Couture Group in 1966, replacing Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who had graduated to the Best Dressed List's Hall of Fame. See sources [https://time.com/archive/6628914/fashion-goodbye-jackie-hello-amanda/ Time Magazine], [https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2009/08/hall-of-fame-women?rsltid=AfmBOopw3HWllQ1_WSVNH_wnXChbXkkbtSWsvr9o8JGhyX2oIISkLbCw Vanity Fair], [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/reading-amanda-one-black_b_202819 Huffington Post], and an additional [https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2010/05/otl-burden-201005?srsltid=AfmBOoqGa0N3opvyPDLJpeJ1kCv7XW0akpzujs8SBXN7C2T_Rc2w29r_3 Vanity Fair] article.

::In 2009, Burden was awarded the J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development, granting the prize money to the Urban Land Institute to establish a new prize. See sources [https://www.archpaper.com/2009/10/amanda-in-demand/?noamp=mobile The Architect's Newspaper, 2009], [https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/5297-master-of-the-metropolis The Architectural Record], and [https://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20100416/FREE/100419907/detroit-s-campus-martius-park-wins-urban-land-institute-award Crain's Detroit]

::Burden received the American Architectural Foundation's Keystone Award in 2011. (sourced in [https://www.archpaper.com/2011/02/aaf-says-bravo-to-burden-with-keystone-award/ The Architect's Newspaper, 2011])

::In addition, this research led me to find two additional awards that are not currently mentioned in this article:

::*President's Medal by Architectural League of New York in 2012 (as stated in [https://www.archdaily.com/225088/2012-presidents-medal-amanda-burden this Arch Daily article])

::*Honorary Doctorate from Columbia in 2016 (as sourced [https://secretary.columbia.edu/directory/amanda-m-burden here])

::Would you please consider reinstating these details based on the above? If you prefer, and with your approval, I can go ahead and reinsert this content. Thanks again, DLARoss (talk) 13:10, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Sourcing:

:::* Neither source has the "Principle at Bloomberg" bit, but the first half is sourced.

:::* "the couple had two children while Ms. Burden worked as a public school teacher in Harlem, but they divorced in 1972" - says teacher, not aide. Also is rather fuzzy on the years, but definitely supports that she did do this at some point early in her career

:::* Awards all look good, sourcing-wise.

:::@DLARoss, you can reinstate the sourced parts of the first two points and the awards up to "In 2011, Burden received the American Architectural Foundation Keystone Award."; would need to think more about how the language of the remaining description should be adjusted if you want to reinstate that.

:::For the remaining awards, please suggest a wording for review. Rusalkii (talk) 22:54, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Thank you {{u|Rusalkii}} for taking a look and reviewing all of this. I have reinstated as per your approval above. This is my suggestion for the two remaining awards:

:::::In 2012, the Architectural League of New York granted Burden the President's Medal.{{cite news|last=Cilento|first=Karen|title=2012 President's Medal|url=https://www.archdaily.com/225088/2012-presidents-medal-amanda-burden|date=11 April 2012|website=Arch Daily}} Columbia University awarded Burden an Honorary Doctorate in 2016.{{cite web|url=https://secretary.columbia.edu/directory/amanda-m-burden|title=Amanda M. Burden|access-date=20 April 2025}}

::::Let me know what you think and I will put that in as well. All the best and thanks again, DLARoss (talk) 13:19, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::I went ahead and inserted the last two awards and closed the request; open to discussion if necessary. Thanks, DLARoss (talk) 15:20, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
