thread_title: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia

message: I don’t see why this has been repeatedly deleted by Drawn Some, claiming it is “irrelevant” and “incidental.” Given that it is something done by the subject of the article that received significant media attention across the US, I think it is highly relevant, and to dismissis it as merely “incidental” strikes me as rather bizarre. It was significant enough to receive widespread media attention; it should merit mention in her biography. -- Irn (talk) 20:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A few points: (1) Please familiarize yourself with some of wikipedia's key guidelines and policies, particularly assuming good faith, being civil, and avoiding personal attacks. (2) Biographies are not merely books; this is an encyclopedia article and a biography (just take a look at the top of this page). (3) Do you have any proof that Ms. Carter herself has had anything to do with this article or are you simply making baseless attacks on your assumptions? Because it is not evident to me that she has had anything to do with this article. And, most importantly, (4) you did not answer my objections; you repeated your claim that it is "irrelevant" but you have provided no support for this claim; you further implied that it was not "relevant, important, [or] well-sourced." Do you have any arguments to support this assertion? Why should this incident be left out of the article? -- Irn (talk) 21:37, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: by what criteria do you presume to edit this list? these "awards" are all a matter of record -- which i am currently researching links to.   Regardless of how minor they are in your OPINION, they represent the slow and hard work of coalition building, and were not minor to the folks who present them.  An honorary phd from the New School Univ is a minor award?    Unless you can come up with a rational criteria for qualifying these edits, i think we should allow facts to do the talking, and depend on readers to make the judgement as to what is minor or not.  --believe me (talk) 14:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: AWARDS

message: *The New York Times reported that un-named sources have claimed Carter takes credit for obtaining funding or for accomplishments when others should share the credit, and also takes credit for uncompleted projects such as the Bronx River Greenway. The same article did not provide any corroborating testimony or evidence to back up such claims. [6] Although not strictly "criticism," the same NY Times article notes that as of December 2008, the primary source of income for Carter's consulting firm is fees for her speaking -- as high as $25,000 per speech. Equally suspicious: The consulting firm employs her husband, among others. [6]
There are several problems with this text. Most fundamentally, criticism sections are now deprecated. See WP:CRITICISM. The preferred arrangement is to fold positivie and critical material into the body of the article, wherever most appropriate. Second, we don't expect secondary sources to cite their sources. We call them "reliable" because we rely on them to be accurate accounts. Third, it's not clear what is suspicious about her speaking fees or the fact that her husband works at the consulting group. I don't see anything in the source about those being suspicious. Finally, this does not appear to be a fair summary of the source. I suggest that it'd be better to delete this section and start over by addng material from the source to relevant parts of the article.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 05:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and would further argue that including the last two sentences in a "criticism" section constitutes original research, given that they are not cited as criticism in the source. -- Irn (talk) 12:21, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

text: i don't think this sentence -- "The same article in the Times also stated that her private consulting firm charges $25,000 for some of her speaking appearances and that it employs her husband."  should be in the section about the non-profit she used to run since it is current info not associated with that time, and not really all that interesting in general.  but if someone wants to stick in somewhere else, go for it.--believe me (talk) 15:36, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: SSBx Description

message: on of the things that is unique to Majora carter is that she grew up in the South Bronx and achieved so much after starting with so little.  On way to illustrate that is to list her Head Start and Public School education - as these schools are listed with NYC DOE and people use free-lunch program stats to gauge economic demographics of a community.  I would like to return "Head Start, PS 48, and IS 74.  
Also, I think it's a little wierd that given all of her accomplishments, that there are 2 lines referring to her marital status in this,  when so much other relavent info has been deleted from here ? 
--believe me (talk) 01:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree that Head Start and public school education in the Bronx merit mention because they are indicative of her background. We would certainly mention, for example, if someone was homeschooled. - Jmabel | Talk 04:48, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

message: i notice that someone has removed majoracartergroup.com link at bottom of page.  what is the Wikipedia policy on "commercial links"  I notice, for instance, that (Tyler Perry with whom Majora appears in HBO's Black List vol 2) has several as yet unmolested "commercial links" - presumably to show interested parties the work for which they are best known.  So does Sean Combs.  What is the standard?
believe me (talk) 01:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know that there's anything specifically addressing commercial links. There is the external links guideline, which is probably the most definitive guideline you can find. It specifies, "Wikipedia articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the subject's official site, if any." As far as I can tell, the website for the Majora Carter Group fits this category. -- Irn (talk) 03:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  i have read the guidelines and don't see any reason why Majora's official site cannot be included here.  Is there any requirement that edits be vetted on these pages before executing them?  i learned that lesson here a few months ago, and would appreciate the same from Ms Drawnsome.  thanks--believe me (talk) 23:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Since nobody has produced an argument here for deleting the link to Majora Carter's official website, I am returning it to the bottom of the page.

replies: text: That career breakdown seems logical enough and makes sense to me (of course, it could definitely use more fleshing out). Although, as it stands with the Olympic torch bit as a subsection of a subsection, it looks a little clunky in the table of contents. Maybe we could get rid of the subheading and just integrate it into the activism bit? Although I'm not sure how well the Olympic torch bit fits under "Career" either. I would have to disagree, though, about personal life being off-limits. Many BLPs have sections on the subject's personal life because it is relevant to the article, especially if the personal life of the subject has received media attention. We just have to be careful how we do it. -- Irn (talk) 03:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Dec 2008 NY Times Article

message: I understand the relevance of these two items to the entire article, but the sections both seem rather lacking in substance, and I’m having difficulty accepting the need for this breakdown when each section has so little information. I don't think "media" needs to be broken down into two further subsections of "radio" and "TV" especially since each one more or less consists of a list of appearances. I think it would be a lot stronger to say that she has made a number of appearances and list some of the most notable ones (all in one sentence) and then focus on more significant accomplishments (like the Promised Land bit, and The Green, maybe? And discuss her role in The Green). 
As far as consulting, I don’t know that that needs its own section at the moment. There’s really nothing there besides noting that the Majora Carter Group exists, which can easily be incorporated elsewhere in the article. -- Irn (talk) 01:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK.  I was just breaking it down based on my own experiences of having to spell it out to journalists and others who are confused about how non-profit leader moves into for profit.  i get the same basic questions over and over and thought this might make it easier.  there are articles from the Kansas City Star and publications in North Carolina re: Majora Carter's consulting that i have not gone into for wikipedia just yet.

If you could expand it some with those articles, that might be really nice.
