Section on Trump–Ukraine scandal is too long. Especially the part about his testimony is ridiculously long. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a newspaper! Taylor has had a long career but today most of his Wikipedia article is about only a few months of his life..... If you consider that normal you do not have the skills to write a good Wikipedia article.... (whom should be balanced). Taylor is not even one of the main actors in the Trump Ukraine scandal! — Yulia Romero • Talk to me!15:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yulia, why do you say that? It's by far the highest-profile activity of his career. The rest of the article is fairly fleshed out at this point. Perhaps it wasn't when you added this comment. Toddst1 (talk) 22:18, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FURTHER - not ONE mention of how ALL of Taylor's testimony was mere hearsay. This is propaganda, and not fact. Someone needs to fix this section immediately, it looks like it was written by a Democrat who was paid by CNN. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.56.55.185 (talk) 20:39, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should propose some specific edits with reliable sources, rather than ordering "someone" to make it acceptable to you. Toddst1 (talk) 21:33, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why Todd, so you can revert my changes even if they are well sourced as you have done in the US Sixth Fleet and Filip Muller page? I came to this site expecting friendly debate and research, and instead what I have found are militant mods who are very clearly highly biased. What a shame. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.56.55.185 (talk) 06:57, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, I simply think I will stop using this resource. I have documented the well sourced changes I have made and will show them to everyone I can who ever claims Wikipedia is not biased. Thank you, Todd, and enjoy your echo chamber by yourselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.56.55.185 (talk) 23:38, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, the article reads,
Taylor testified before the US Congressional House regarding the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump and the Trump–Ukraine scandal in a closed session
Note the italicized text (I added the italics). Was this in front of the entire House of Representatives? If so, then it should read "US House of Representatives". But if it was a committee, it should read "House Committee on . . . whatever". I can't see how the word "Congressional" fits in here, unless it was the Congressional Oversight Committee. I don't follow this enough to know what's right, factually, but I recognize a non-coherent phrase when I see it. Unschool04:59, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He said today (13 November 2019) under oath "I was awarded the combat infantryman's badge... which is my highest... I'm proudest of..."

Thanks! Also: seeing as how this was my first edit/I'm a newbie, was that the right format for the edit request? Using the infobox officeholder tag broke the formatting. 11811111a (talk) 22:09, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
