Talk:Darcy Olsen

COI
One of the main editors, User:Mr. Conservative, is involved: his talk page claims him to be a PR person for the Goldwater Institute. I have urged the gentleman on his talk page to keep his edits neutral--if he doesn't, any editor is free to place a COI tag on top of the article. You may also peruse the archive of Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard for a discussion, begun on 12 November 2011, on this very matter. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:42, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

The current status
Currently, (as of the current version of this article) the penultimate ("second-to-last") sentence in the "Goldwater_Institute" section of this article says:"Olsen left the Goldwater Institute in July 2017 after serving as its CEO for 15 years.[20]"

What is going on?
The footnote -- (currently it is footnote number "[20]") -- at the end of that sentence points to a web page at the URL (or "internet address") https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/arizona/articles/2017-07-11/goldwater-institute-ceo-stepping-down-after-16-years now.

Both the body and the TITLE of that web page -- and the URL itself! -- show the time period as having been "16 years".

Also (note that) footnote number "[21]" (at the end of the next sentence) ... points to a web page [article] at: https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2017/07/10/goldwater-institute-leader-stepping-down-after-16-years/ -- which also mentions a time period of 16 years -- ! -- both in its URL and in the title (and the body!) of that article.

Proposed change
So, it would seem to me, that -- (unless there is some good reason to say "15 years" instead of "16 years") -- the sentence (the one quoted above) should be changed to say "16 years" instead. (right?)

If no one submits any good reasons (and, especially if no one submits any reasons at all) why this article should say "15 years" (as it does now) instead of "16 years", then ... it is my intention to edit that sentence (the one that is quoted above in a "block quote") to say "16 years" instead.

Any comments?
Any replies would be welcomed. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 16:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah it seems like "15 years" is just an error. Looks like it should be changed to 16 years per the sources. Marquardtika (talk) 18:39, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Primary Source
Hello! I have a notice on top of the article:Darcy Olsen that says this article relies excessively on primary sources. I only used the website as a source one time. What are the other primary sources? Thanks! Ajolley2023 (talk) 22:43, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
