Achievements Citation

Does anyone have a subscription to verify Source #9 on the Achievements? I haven't looked at the book referenced lately, but the tone of that comment (about them taking donations away from other organizations) is entirely unlike the tone of the part of the source that I have read.--Thalia42 (talk) 09:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Robocall campaign

I'll be getting the facts about the "Robocall Campaign" and adding them later. As it is it just one person being annoyed and using wikipedia as a soap box. IrnBru001 16:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Founders

I removed the dead lk [1], which they don't seem to intend to replace. I searched up what is apparently a copy of their old founders list, [2]. --Jerzy•t 21:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Ambassador feedback

Thanks for contacting me for feedback.

1. The first thing that jumps out at me pertains to citation formatting. The citations that you have provided need to be reformatted. As they are currently presented, they fall under the category of link rot. You can find more at the link provided. When I format citations, I use a cheat located at http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Reflinks. Check "interactive" and "show changes" and make sure to enter your article name. After you click "run reflinks", the citations should be automatically formatted. At the bottom of the page, simply click "preview" and that will take you back to your article, where you can click "save". The edit summary is entered automatically. Make sure to remove the red links in your citations. Do not use the "online interview" as a source.
2. Add more links to other articles on Wikipedia.
3. Remove the "Organization" section. This information is time sensitive and may often require updating with changes in the organizational structure. If a reader wants to review this detailed information, they can use the link to the organization's official website.
4. Please note the changes I've made to the infobox. I've removed the duplicate organizational name from the infobox. Essentially, when the name of the article subject is offered in the image, we don't include it above. I've formatted the orgs official website link. I've removed the links to nonexistent articles for the founders. If notability for the founders, independent from the organization cannot be established or is unlikely to be established, we don't include links to nonexistent articles.
5. Remove the embedded link for Muckety and enter the link as a wikilink.
6. Remove the Mission Statement section.
7. Remove content and quotes that cannot be verified or can only be verified through a verbal interview. While the content may be true, Wikipedia requires that it is verifiable.
8. And finally, some of the sections contain minimal content. I recommend that you condense (merge) the content into fewer sections. Please feel free to contact me again if you have questions or need more help. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 22:59, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Important edit request

I am employed by Campaign for America's Future as a consultant, and ask that the following be copy/pasted to the top of the "Activities" section to reflect the organization's most recent operations:

The Pledge to Fight for Good Jobs, Sustainable Prosperity, and Economic Justice

In February 2018, CAF organized a group of 70 progressive leaders to release The Pledge to Fight for Good Jobs, Sustainable Prosperity, and Economic Justice. The 11-point economic agenda declares that “Resistance is not enough,” and that "real change begins with a clear and coherent vision of a better America, and with citizens’ movements dedicated to bringing that world into being."

An outline of the Pledge's 11 planks is as follows: 1) Jobs for All—Created by Rebuilding America; 2) Invest in a Green Economy; 3) Empower Workers to Reduce Inequality; 4) Opportunity and Justice for All—With Focus on Community Harmed by Racism; 5) Guarantee Women’s Economic Equality; 6) High-Quality Public Education—Pre-K to University; 7) Medicare for All—And Shared Economic Security; 8) Make Corporations and Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share; 9) A Global Economic Strategy for Working People; 10) Close Wall Street’s Casino; 11) Rescue Democracy from Special Interests.

According their organization's website, the Pledge’s 70 original signers include Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, economists Thea Lee, Robert Pollin, and James K. Galbraith, black activists Rashad Robinson, Janet Dewart Bell, and Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, feminist leaders Gloria Steinem, Nita Chaudhary, and Toni Van Pelt, think tank directors Heather McGhee, Dorian Warren, Chuck Collins, and Angela Glover Blackwell, environmental activists Bill McKibben, Annie Leonard, and Michael Brune, labor leaders, like Leo Gerard, Larry Cohen, and Randi Weingarten, business leaders like Leo Hindery Jr. and Charles Rodgers, activists and public intellectuals like Manuel Pastor, Robert Borosage, Maria Echaveste, Jeff Faux, Heather Gautney, Eddie Glaude Jr., Zephyr Teachout, Richard Eskow, and Naomi Klein—and leaders of resistance movement groups, including MoveOn, People’s Action, Democracy for America, Solidaire, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Center for Popular Democracy, Public Citizen."

 Unable to review edit request

Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to which claim statements in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests, it is important to highlight in the text which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim. The point of an inline citation is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point is lost if the citation's note number is not clearly placed. Note the example below:

N INCORRECT

The sun is pretty big, but the moon is not so big. The sun is also quite hot.

References

      1. Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2018, p. 1.
      2. Duvalier, Gabrielle. "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 51(78):46.
      3. Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2018, p. 2.

In the example above there are three references provided, but the claim statements do not indicate which reference applies where. Your edit request similarly does not specify where the references you have provided are to be placed. These links between material and their source references must be more clearly made, as shown in the next example below:

Y CORRECT

The sun is pretty big, but the moon is not so big. The sun is also quite hot.

References

In the example above, the links between the provided references and their claim statements are perfectly clear. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.
