We don't typically add YouTube videos to author profiles. I don't see a compelling reason to add those, especially as they don't seem to be directly related to Greta Thunberg as an author.As for the influences, if you provide a source we could potentially add those.

As for her influences, you might want to try reading her books or listening to her speeches, if you disagree with the authors I'm suggesting you can propose other authors. I'm only giving suggestions for Goodreads' readers about the information lacking in this author's page.
Oh, and by the way, the community shouldn't have to beg you to include this information, especially when it's already taken you over a year to respond to the request.
There's no need to be rude. Please remember that Librarians are volunteers and part of the community you're referring to. Librarians are required to follow Goodreads' policies. If you are making a request to modify something it is your responsibility to provide sources.And as I said before, the videos are not relevant to her profile on Goodreads.
Maybe you should consider stepping down as a librarian. Clearly you don't enjoy attending requests. So, I'll be asking another librarian to update the information. You don't have to answer any more requests, as you said it yourself, you are not obligated.
As I said, I'd be happy to make the change to the influences if you provide a source. I'm not really sure why that offends you. Any librarian in the group would say the same thing.

There is no excuse for being rude to a volunteer librarian because you do not agree with the policies to which we are required to adhere.
