Dean Plocher
I've reverted your edit to Dean Plocher's biography, where you rewrote the "Criticisms" section with the edit summary The claims under the "criticism" tab were adjudicated false. While the Ethics Committee did dismiss the charges against Plocher, it was not because they were deemed false, but because the Committee chair concluded that Plocher's own stonewalling and obstruction of the proceedings would render it impossible to come to a finding. The reporting in the AP source you linked to would not lead one to conclude that Plocher was just an innocent in all this. I would recommend that you take up a discussion at Talk:Dean Plocher if you would like to see a change to the "Criticisms" section. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * That is not accurate. By a 7-2-1 vote the Ethics Committee voted to dismiss all counts without comment.  The Committee expressly rejected the Committee Chairs comments. Riverrunner2354 (talk) 14:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Here's the link that explains what happened. I've proposed a revised edit that keeps the existing criticism and includes the results of the committee's work.  Chairwoman Kelly's opinions are not the official actions of the committee.  It is accurate to state that the committee dismissed the complaint in full without comment.

 * Your latest version, retaining the prior reporting and adding the reporting about the final finding, is more acceptable. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:28, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback, I acknowledge that the initial citation did not include an explanation of committee vote. Riverrunner2354 (talk) 14:31, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
