move[edit]

move from J/P HRO > CORE is not supported by the sources. Excluding the website, nearly all references refer to it by the name J/P HRO. Bangabandhu (talk) 01:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]


sourcing and copyvio[edit]

Much of the text that is sourced to the organization's website parrots, if not copies the website. The numbers and programs are not independently verified. This is separate from the tone, which smacks of WP:PUFF. All of the text needs to be reviewed and the unsourced parts excised. I have started below.

Sites include Los Angeles, New York, Oakland, Chicago, Georgia, Navajo Nation, New Orleans, and other communities.[1]

Since beginning COVID-19 testing, CORE has helped administer over 1.3 million free tests (as of August 2020).[1]

As of June 2020, CORE operates 35 stationed sites and 10 mobile sites and plans to continue opening more sites, specifically in underserved, vulnerable communities.[2][3]

A decade after the earthquake, CORE continues to operate successful year-round programs in Haiti, and has expanded its efforts to include programs centered on reforestation (Haiti Takes Root), education, health, and community development, including the Women’s Economic Participation Consortium program supporting women’s entrepreneurship.[4]

During the to COVID-19 health crisis, the organization is currently operating a test site at its School of Hope and working with the Ministry of Health to provide wrap-around services to the community focused on education and preventing the spread of the disease.[5]

CORE played a pivotal role in relief efforts following Hurricane Matthew in 2016, which wreaked havoc on Haiti as it was still recovering from damage caused by the 2010 earthquake.[6]

The organization led the post-disaster response to Hurricane Matthew, removing debris, repairing 41 miles of road to help provide assistance to over 800,000 affected people. In total, CORE rebuilt or repaired 4,000 houses to provide safe housing for 25,000 Haitians.[7]

In an effort to address the most urgent community needs in the U.S. Gulf states, CORE is currently operating a disaster preparedness training program, working with young adults from economically challenged neighborhoods and marginalized communities along the Hurricane Belt.[8]

The organization works with the support of and in collaboration with local and national government leaders, community-based organizations, other international NGOs, UN agencies, donors, and community members themselves.[4]

It implements sustainable and prosperous programs within underserved communities and vulnerable areas through a holistic approach to relief and preparation efforts that aims to empower communities from within by identifying and solving deep-rooted issues.[9]

In an effort geared towards sustainability, the organization has also created educational and enrichment opportunities for the community members, while forging partnerships with small businesses in Port-au-Prince. Over 6,000 students have been enrolled in school programs and 2,500 students have been given business training.[4][5]

In response to the cholera outbreak in late 2010, J/P HRO teamed up with the Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization to help stop the spread of the disease.[10]

In the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, J/P HRO managed the Pétion-Ville and Cité Maxo displaced persons camps, supporting nearly 60,000 internally displaced persons. By the end of 2013, J/P HRO achieved the successful relocation of all remaining camp families.[9][7]

In total, the organization has cleared more than 600,000 cubic meters (m3)—approximately 38,000 dump truck loads—of earthquake debris and rubble from the city to date, and has been recognized as a leader in the overall rubble removal effort for safety and efficiency. It also has rebuilt and retrofitted badly damaged structures, including educational and medical facilities, and built new homes, in accordance with a "build back better" approach.[4][7]

CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) → CORE Response – or Community Organized Relief Effort or CORE (crisis response organization). The current title contains both an abbreviation and its spelled-out form in words. As far as I know, we just don't do that kind of redundancy on Wikipedia. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:14, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as per nom. 162 etc. (talk) 20:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alternate move to Community Organized Relief Effort per WP:NATURAL. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:31, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Personally, I lean more toward CORE Response, perhaps since it's more succinct while still being WP:NATURAL. Note that their website is at coreresponse.org and the footer of the website says "© 2022 CORE RESPONSE". There is a "Community Organized Relief Effort" next to the logo at the top of the main page, but elsewhere I haven't noticed them using it. In the vast majority of cases, both the organization itself and other sources seem to just call it "CORE". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:07, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Current titling reflects its common usage and how it currently appears in sources - "....Penn's nonprofit group, Community Organized Relief Effort, or CORE" from the LA Times, among many other cites in the entry. Bangabandhu (talk) 15:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • We never title articles using both the name and its abbreviation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:23, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
