Name origin?[edit]

Is there any evidence that he was named after Kwame Nkrumah? Seems plausible at least. --Saforrest (talk) 04:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am press secretary for Kwame Raoul's campaign for attorney general.

I am suggesting an edit to Kwame Raoul's committees. He is no longer Chair of the Senate Redistricting Committee because that committee no longer exists. It is convened every 10 years when redistricting is done subsequent to the latest census. He is currently Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice Chair of the Senate Criminal Law Committee, and a member of the Executive, Gaming, Insurance and Public Health Committees. See ^[1]

Thank you.

Done.—J. M. (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Two suggestions[edit]

My name is Katharine Eastvold, and I work in the Office of the Attorney General of Illinois. Thank you for making the suggested change last time (when I was working on the campaign). I have two suggestions for this article:

1) Under the "Outside the Senate" heading, "Raoul served as a partner of the law firm of Quarles and Brady..." instead of "Raoul serves." Attorney General Raoul is no longer a partner in or employed by Quarles & Brady.^[1]^[2]

2) Under "Personal Life," Attorney General Raoul is not married. He is engaged to Dr. Lisa Moore.^[3]

Thank you!

Done. In the future, I think it is OK if you make unambiguously uncontroversial edits directly, without suggesting them on the talk page. Wikipedia:Conflict of interest does not completely forbid very simple, purely factual and verifiable edits like fixing errors or outdated information that could never be the subject of a dispute.—J.
