Deletion or rewriting of the recently added "First Amendment Controversy" section
The section Mike Carroll (politician), which was added on May 15 2024 by user 50.232.221.146, is unsourced, appears to be potentially libelous/defamatory, and is generally worded with hostility against Carroll. I could only find two sources about the event referenced in the section: this opinion piece in the Irvine Watchdog and this YouTube video of the incident. Furthermore, this does not change the fact that the section, as written by the editor, is not sourced and does not follow Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view. I have rewritten the section to provide more fairer context (specifically regarding the actions of the auditors, what actually happened at the two public meetings, and events predating the specific town hall meeting) as well as a more neutral point of view. However, I am still under the impression that the inclusion of this topic in Carroll's article may be unnecessary, as outside of the YouTube video this topic has only been mentioned in the Irvine Watchdog, which itself could be considered a questionable source. This raises questions about if we are putting undue weight on the topic. JaySVMS (talk) 08:28, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
