I've made my initial changes, and responded at Talk:Georgetown University Law Center; I'll work on the referencing and then respond here. Dru of Id (talk) 21:09, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I've also responded at Talk:Georgetown University Law Center and provided info about the referencing for Ms. Nolan there. Karatershel (talk) 22:23, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

None of this is criticism, hopefully just helpful pointers for overcoming the initial hurdles for the future:

As an employer, while George Washington University is independendent of Georgetown, it is still related to Ms. Nolan. Please don't add subsections on talk pages, as you did in your original post at Talk:Georgetown University Law Center; they're generally unnecessary, and eat inches. I'm reformatting/commenting on parts of your original post, below, for your use later.

• User:Orangemike (Wikipedia internal) rather than http~ external
• you should not post contact information at noticeboards or article talk pages, but are permitted on user pages, see Wikipedia:User pages#Personal and privacy-breaching material for the warning

Faculty

• Add Dean William Treanor

References

Notice the capitalization changes in the titles; while lowercase will still redirect there, it's not preferred, and since each title is normally linked once, should be the current officeholder, so the reader can confirm whether that has changed (former officeholders sometimes don't get changed). While it can be helpful to see the url, the date isn't really helpful for online prompts, and I've shown a few different styles. You initially posted your changes to the talk page but linked the article, rather than the talk page, which added a step to getting where you were directing people.

If you're going to use the {{helpme}} template, it should be here at your talk page, as should the request. If you post at an article talk page, you should start a new section, give it a heading, use the Template:Request edit's {{Requested edit}} template, and post the proposed changes.

Thank you for helping to improve Wikipedia. Cheers! Dru of Id (talk) 23:31, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
