Non Wikipedia entry

On 4 April 2007, new editor Ajvb made a number of edits to this article. See below. Because some of the material is directly quoted from copyrighted material of the AAPSS, and because it is not in proper Wikipedia form, I have placed it here, so that it can be mined for proper edits (with citation where necessary) to the article. Portions, as they are added to the article, or found unnecessary, are deleted from the listing below--Bejnar 20:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All material fully mined. --Bejnar (talk) 19:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

Part of paragraph beginning "Over its history, Academy members ..." was removed as a copyright violation. --Bejnar 21:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fellows of the Academy

On 4 April 2007, new editor Ajvb added a list of fifty-nine (59) fellows of the academy. Because of the large number, and since none of them, apparently, have Wikipedia articles, I have omitted them from the article. If you think that they should be included in the article, please say why. --Bejnar 21:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right, do not include these fellows of the academy. However, if there are fellows or officers of the academy who do have Wikipedia articles, they should be mentioned in the article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 02:02, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Presenters, not members ?

These names were added as Academy members, however, the evidence suggests that instead they either were presenters or had papers published by the Academy. Certainly they should not have been inserted in the article between the names of two Academy members who were civil servants (gov. employees) and the footnote reference for that membership status. In that same reference, these names were not identified as members. Names: Eleanor Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, W.E.B. DuBois, Margaret Mead, Thurgood Marshall, Mahatma Gandhi, Booker T. Washington. --Bejnar 23:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
