thread_title: Class Project: Update

message: Our class has decided to update and expand this page as a part of our class project and as a part of the ASA Wikipedia Initiative. Since Wikipedia is a platform for the sharing of knowledge, the class has chosen to participate in this important social movement. We will be updating this page to improve its content and acheive a GA rating, so that future visitors to the page will have a better understanding of the association and contribute to the additional spread of sociological knowledge. To understand what goals and content we wish to achieve, we have viewed the Wikipedia pages of other social science associations and have come up with a basic outline; we are also being guided by our professor during this class project to keep us on task. Here is what we would like to see on this page to improve it.
Main Sections         	Sections' Components
Name Section          	Opening Paragraph (summary of article), and perhaps a side box/table with quick facts and picture.
Profile Section       	Mission Statement, Awards, Membership/Titles, Organization's Structure, Affiliate Organizations, ASA Wikipedia Initiative, ASA writing style, ASA journals
History Section       	Founding, Presidents, Controversies?, Official positions on certain social issues?
ASA Today Section     	About the current ASA, Current sections of ASA, ASA Meetings
See Also Section      	In accordance with other Wikipedia pages
Notes Section         	In accordance with other Wikipedia pages
References Section    	Updated as we go and in accordance with other Wikipedia pages
External Links Section	In accordance with other Wikipedia pages
This project is due by 3 May 2012 and will be continuously "in-progress" until that date.

thread_title: Class Project: To Do

message: I am wondering on what basis does this encyclopedia make claims that "In recent years, it has faltered from its own code of ethics, weakinging the discipline's legitimacy and credibilty by upholding and publicizing an array of normative political statemens that themselves have no sociological basis. . ."?
:You should ask the user who added it. Without a source this indeed looked like a POVed piece of info. It is now removed.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Code of ethics issues

message: I'm not quite sure as to why "Sociology of peace war and social conflict" redirects to this page? Does it have anything to do with the article?

thread_title: Redirect

message: Removed "(the named was changed after morally unfit people showed up for the meetings looking for ASS)". Could not find any proof of this and the ASA's website says that the name change was the result of the group growing from a small society to a larger association.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: **Dear Barbprince, I would suggest adding a photo of the current president of the American Sociological Association to associate a face with a name for the current president of the organization. Also, I would work to include a more detailed description of the association. More relevant citations would be useful in the furthering of this article. Under the organizational section of the article, perhaps links could be provided to the Wikipedia pages of the current holders of those positions. Also, go into further detail explaining the different levels of membership so that all the information is present on one page.
