lu'!

{reH 'ej meqvam je} doesn't work for me. {meqvam} isn't a sentence you 
can conjoin with another, and {reH} alone is an exclamation, not a 
modifier of a sentence. There is no adverbial conjunction.

I'd say it like this:

    reH meqvammo' mulughmoH nuvpu' vIneH
    I want people to always correct me because of this reason.

A little advanced side-note: I think we've only got one example of an 
adverbial for "want" in a sentence-as-object construction:

    reH DIvI' Duj vISuv vIneH
    I've always wanted to fight a Federation ship (ST5)

Notice that unlike most other sentences-as-object, the adverbial for the 
wanting goes before the first sentence. I've assumed above that 
syntactic nouns do so as well.

    qaq {-laH} lo' 'e' vItlhoj
    I realized that {-laH} use is preferable

You could drop the {lo'} and it would still be good.

Watch the order of verbs of quality.

I don't see "demote" anywhere in there. {numHa'} means "demote." Also, 
watch your suffix-order.

    yaS wa'DIchwI' numHa'nISmoHlu' DaH 'e' vISovbej
    I definitely know now that my first officer needs to be demoted
