Why are you only allowing negative content in his professional section? He has accomplished many other good things. Silverfox989 (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Silverfox989: Its not only "negative content" being allowed in the professional section. Well sourced information about Pat Outman's political career is provided in this article, regardless of whether it makes him look "bad" or "good" to any particular person. I mean, the first real sentence about Outman's legislative career, about the state lottery, doesn't make him seem that bad to me. I don't view that as "negative content". If you want to include what you view as more positive accomplishments or actions by Outman, you're free to do so, but you must provide proper citations.

Feel free to point to additional reliable sources if you believe that significant material on life and career is omitted. Neutralitytalk 18:18, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
