Edit request[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. A consensus could not be reached.

The section that a UMN student editor inserted about the Veglia sexual harassment investigation was a cut-and-paste from a unapproved draft bio of Veglia, apparently an effort to get the material into Wikipedia from a sideways direction. Following the bios-of-living-persons guidelines, I edited the entry here so that it is neutral and includes only material that is supported by reliable sources. I actually think the whole section should be deleted from this bio (or just leave the first sentence, not a section), but because I do know the subject (Tolman, not Veglia), I would be more comfortable if a 100% disconnected editor would make that call (or authorize me). Thank you!

Not done for now: Please establish a consensus with editors engaged in the subject area before using the {{Request edit}} template for this proposed change. I would personally oppose the section removal as it is sourced. Melmann 18:55, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
