I removed a new section on a romance scam that used Welsh's name and image here. Aside from the obvious issues of the section being misplaced and using an external link rather than a ref, I'm concerned about the reliability of the source (scammersoff.com) and the amount of detail in this section. If there are reliable sources to show that Welsh's identity is a particularly common target of this scam then perhaps a small mention of the scam can be justified. if he is just one of many such targets then there is little point in even mentioning it in the article.

There is an account on Facebook for a Steven Mark, using a photo of the General. He purports to be on a peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan. So far I have not been asked to do/give/send anything, but this person is clearly using the General's photo. Check out Steven Mark on Facebook.

The 1979 Air Force Register shows his birth year as 1954, not 1953. I see no direct citations for his birth date, so I'll WP:BOLD and cite the USAF document. Rob Rosenberger ( talk) 21:30, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
