Neutrality and sourcing[edit]

This BLP looks like it was written by either the subject or someone close to them. It is filled with unsourced claims and achievements and will require reworking to maintain a neutral biography. I will begin pruning unsourced content but encourage editors more familiar with the subject to weigh in. Ifnord (talk) 20:36, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the article[edit]

The version of 20:10, 19 February 2022 had a lot going for it. The following sub-sections looked like a resumé:

Military awards
Military schools
Committees, policy caucuses, authorities and organizations

There was also a big problem that most of the content was uncited.

The current version has had these sections deleted and the section on his political career is cited. There are still problems with the lead and the personal sections.

The lead is meant to be a summary. The stuff about him being born in 1967 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point should also be mentioned in the personal section, and should be supported by a citation. This is meant to be an encyclopaedia article, not a resumé, so if there is information on his parents that can be sourced to published sources, it should go in the personal section.
The present personal section is about his military career. So, military service would be an appropriate title for it. I like the old version of this. But it needs citations. Everything in it should be sourceable to published sources.
