Hi, thanks for your edits to the David Hill article. Wikipedia has a strong policy on biographical material of living people, and all material on living people should be cited to a specific source. The ideal is a citation for every fact, in every sentence, so there's no confusion about where material came from. Although I must admit that I didn't completely keep to that when I wrote this article back in 2016...

Regarding his job title, I can't find a source that he held this job title of "Director of Strategic Communications". This article seems to explicitly say that job title was held by Benjamin Wegg-Prosser (as indeed does his Wikipedia page). I've reverted this as I don't see a source-obviously let me know if you have one I haven't seen. The section about his early life also wasn't sourced although it is in the Guardian profile, so I've put in a copy of the citation to it. You can add an extra citation to a named reference anywhere in an article by clicking "named references" in the edit console and picking out the one you want.

Hope this is useful, if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know! Blythwood (talk) 19:26, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
