Please consider removing the Conflict of Interest tag from this article. I have reviewed the article line by line in an effort to remove the COI tag. My work includes (1) Adding more newspaper and non-government sources (though they still seem to rely heavily on both the Subject and his prior employer, the US Navy. (2) I corrected three POV items: (a) removing the undergraduate degree from the second sentence (seemed to a "local boy" appeal of where he went to college rather than a leading biographical point ) (b) removing "Iowa's Admiral" as a nickname (only very "campaign slogan" sources ever supported this nickname) and (c) clarifying (un-aggrandizing) his role in the creation of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency where previous wording suggested more "entrepreneurial" and "built from scratch" instead of the reality of being the first director after the merger of several similar predecessor agencies. It also included (3) adding sourced Personal information and (4) the inclusion of more internal linkings within Wikipedia.--KevinCuddeback (talk) 23:33, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
It's looking better, thanks. I'm fine with removing the tag. I added a connected contributor tag here on the talk page instead. Thanks for your work on the article. Marquardtika (talk) 19:32, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have notice that the same seemingly baseless edit keeps getting thrown in without a source and then reverted shortly thereafter. Particularly disconcerting on the eve of a primary election. Can we all agree that there should be a high index of suspicion for any major changes to a politician's page right before an election? Cdmonson (talk) 02:58, 7 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just curious as to why weekend seminars are noteworthy when discussing college degrees. It appears that this man has both an undergrad and grad degree in physics. That is noteworthy. Perhaps the seminiars should be another paragraph. 107.202.123.192 (talk) 08:45, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
