Reason For Edits

[edit]

My edit (below) is based on reliable and credible sources, and inserted in an attempt to provide a more balanced and neutral narrative: WCf-s-aCares05 (talk)

Education Administrator

Clark served as 17th President of Wesley College in Dover, Delaware,[1] beginning July 15, 2015.[2][3] On March 1, 2021, two months before the school's closure, some members of the faculty published a no confidence resolution against Clark that was forwarded to the Wesley College Board of trustees. The Wesley College Board of Trustees voted unanimously on March 20,2021 to dismiss the resolution. Additionally, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to bestow upon President Clark, President Emeritus in recognition of his leadership, and service to the College and the community.[4]

@WCf-s-aCares05: I agree with your edit, and reasons for edit, of the Education Administrator portion of this page. Your edit seems to accurately, with a neutral tone, and publicly available references, explain what transpired - Clark was President for ~ 6yrs; members of the faculty published a no confidence resolution two months before the College became part of Delaware State University that was forwarded to the Board of Trustees for action; the Board acted - dismissed the resolution; and then subsequently the Board of Trustees bestowed upon Clark President Emeritus for reasons stated.

Though new to Wikipedia, WCf-s-aCares05’s edit seems more complete, neutral, credible than the one currently on the protected page. Current section needs to be replaced with WCf-s-aCares05’s edit. Concur with XTC7YV32’s comments. Wolverine4life21 (talk) 23:15, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with comments. Also, the references cited in the current page that is locked do not seem as credible as WCf-s-aCares05’s edit/references. The Washington Post article describes an incident that occurred before Clark arrived, and the Whetstone seems like an unvetted student website/blog - always the same contributors interviewing the same few people.

Reverted to WCf-s-aCares05's edits for reasons sighted above. XTC7YV32 (talk)

Undid 73.10.20.100 edits on Naval Career due to lack of neutrality, potential vandalism, and BLP issues as noted in edit. Several sources including, Naval Academy sources (example, </ref>[3]) highlight the subjects career as distinguished, as supported by the fact that he held the office of Commandant longer than anyone else. Additionally, updated a few areas under Education Administrator section to align with Wesley College page on Wikipedia. XTC7YV32 (talk) 15:03, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Undid Jonboi199 edits for the reasons sighted above by several Wiki contributors. Jonboi199 seems to to be solely focused on this page with edits that lack neutrality, are incomplete narratives, and lack balanced, and in most cases, credible sources.
