Problem edits

Jon698 has removed relevant, sourced content that I added to this page and has not given any reason. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_F._Gantt&diff=965806530&oldid=965802573. I have restored the content. Please do not remove without justification. Thanks. 24.29.56.240 (talk) 15:06, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are far too editorial. Please do not add multiple adjectives and subjective language like "experienced poverty in his early years", "longtime chair", "developed a reputation", and "known for". - Jon698 talk 15:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
