Relieved of position for cause

An SPA editor, Cricket1005 has thrice removed well-sourced information from the article about the cause of Baucom's being relieved of his position at the U.S. Transportation Command. In general, an article should not be based on a single source, regardless of how reliable that source may be. As it says at {{One source}}, Without other sources for corroboration, accuracy or neutrality may be suspect. By finding multiple independent sources, the reliability of the encyclopedia is improved. Editor Cricket1005 mistakenly asserts that Press reports are not fact-based indicating further that the official Navy publications are the official record. Press reports are fact based, and newspaper articles in such publications as the cited Washington Post are deemed to be highly reliable. One Naval publication does not constitute the official record, all of the Naval records in toto on a topic constitute the official record. Also, Editor Cricket1005 ignores such Naval publications as the cited one from the Office of the Chief of Information which stated, During NJP Adm. Phil Davidson found Baucom guilty of violating UCMJ article 133, conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman, and article 134, disorderly conduct/drunkenness, and awarded Baucom a punitive letter of reprimand. A punitive letter of reprimand is a formal censure permanently filed in the officer's official record. Please do not remove the well-sourced information. If you have concerns, express them here on the talk page so that interested editors may discuss them and possibly reach a consensus.
