Edits to Summit County, Ohio and Don Plusquellic

Don't remove criticisms from pages that are cited. If you believe they aren't relevant, post something on the talk page. Both edits that removed information were cited. 69.208.2.39 (talk) 03:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Right now, you appears to be trying to whitewash articles on Ohio governments. If you believe that the information in these articles is incorrect, please provide sources for your point of view so it can be included in the article. Disagreeing with well-referenced text is not an accepted reason for deletion. You may wish to use the talk pages of the articles to discuss your concerns with the text of the article.

Nice thing is, back issues of the Journal are available at the local library. I appreciate you making the changes instead of just removing the text entirely. In the past, much of your action has been to simply remove unpleasant text instead of resolving the problem and generally without any kind of edit summary; these types of actions look rather suspicious, especially on political articles. The sources the other editor provided supported half of the statement they made, which is why your removal off all the text appears as if you are trying to sweep the incident under a rug. However you were correct that neither article said that the controversy led to the retirement, they only mention that his retirement was being called for by residents upset with the issues, so that part of the statement by the other editor went a bit far and was what we call original research.

Thank you for taking the time to look up those more recent statements about Mr. McCarthy's retirement. Since the article is not a biography about him and the controversy a small footnote in the history of the Summit County government, the new prose you used seems much more appropriate to the article.
