 * MelanieN, Patrick Shanahan has been nominated to be the next Secretary of Defense. As someone who has served my country, I believe it is important and appropriate to highlight the nominee's military experience. Easy access to such information would expedite the search of the thousands (or even millions) of people who want to know how much direct military experience the nominee has.


 * Perhaps you disagree with my method, I can understand that, but I would be most appreciative if you could include such information in a way that meets your standards. Hairy-Whodini (talk) 00:33, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * If you want to add this, suggest it at the article's talk page, Talk:Patrick M. Shanahan. But you would need WP:consensus to add it, and from the fact that three different people reverted you, I doubt if you can reach consensus for that particular edit. But go there, propose that his lack of military experience be in the article in some way, and see what people can agree on. DON'T add it again yourself. You have already put it in the article three times; if you do it a fourth time you are likely to be blocked for edit warring. I realize you are doing this in good faith believing it will improve the article, but you have to comply with Wikipedia's rules about consensus and edit warring. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:09, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually you wouldn't be able to re-add it right now anyhow. I just protected the article because somebody was vandalizing it. But you can still post on the talk page. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:14, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
