Filmography corrections and COI edit request

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Jon Shenk. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 477 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.

I am the subject of this article and am disclosing a conflict of interest per Wikipedia's COI guidelines. I am submitting these corrections and additions transparently via the Talk page for review by an uninvolved editor.

Add Lead Me Home to Directed Features

Currently missing from the Directed Features list despite being mentioned in the intro. Please add: Lead Me Home (2021, co-directed with Pedro Kos)

Correct The White House Effect

Move to Directed Features and fix directors. Currently listed only under Cinematographer Credits, but Jon Shenk was a director, not cinematographer. The film was co-directed by Bonni Cohen, Pedro Kos, and Jon Shenk. Please remove from Cinematographer Credits and add to Directed Features: The White House Effect (2024, co-directed with Bonni Cohen and Pedro Kos), premiered Telluride Film Festival 2024

Add In Waves and War to Directed Features, Producing Credits, and Cinematographer Credits

This film is missing entirely. Please add:

Directed Features: In Waves and War (2024, co-directed with Bonni Cohen), premiered Telluride Film Festival 2024
Producing Credits: In Waves and War (2024, co-producer with Bonni Cohen)
Cinematographer Credits: In Waves and War (2024)

6. Request removal of maintenance tags

The {{BLP sources}} tag was added in August 2021. Since then, numerous citations have been added throughout the Career and Awards sections. I believe the sourcing is now sufficient to remove this tag. The {{COI}} tag was added in September 2021. This edit request is being made transparently via the Talk page per Wikipedia's COI guidelines. I would ask that an uninvolved editor review and, if the proposed changes are accepted, assess whether the COI tag is still warranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guzmantostada (talk • contribs)

Comment: @Guzmantostada: Please provide references as usable citations, rather than raw urls. It would also be very helpful if you put the citations into the numbered edit requests, rather than as a single paragraph string of notes/urls. Please remember that we are all volunteers and this lengthy request may take some time to be addressed. — ERcheck (talk) 23:37, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
