call for discussion
[edit]I think the passage "Colonel Watt was on a very short list of candidates for promotion to Brigadier General and command of the Army component of the Utah National Guard. He never made the rank." is just puffery. It is my understanding that all officers are considered for promotion to the next highest rank, if they don't retire first, or if they aren't discharged, for cause. So, why assert that Watt was considered for promotion, if this kind of consideration is completely routine?
The paragraph has no reference.
I suggest trimming it. If no one can defend the passage I will trim it, after a reasonable period of time. Geo Swan (talk) 15:26, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Two adjacent sentences contradict each other
[edit]I found this in this article today: "Watt served the Ogden police department for 32 years and retired as Assistant Police Chief in the city in October 2011. Watt was hired to head the Ogden police department from January 2017 until his retirement in January 2021". Maybe even if you changed "hired to" to "re-hired, this time to head" and changed "retirement in January 2021" to "second retirement, in January 2021", it would make some sense. As it stands, it's at the very least confusing but maybe even contradictory.2600:1700:6759:B000:E072:91E4:69CC:3A60 (talk) 07:29, 11 August 2025 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
