Kempling controversy

Considering the controversial decision by the BCCLA to intervene against Chris Kempling, whose stern treatment by authorities continues to this year, should different wording be used in both the lead and some of the sections. Phrases like they protect fundamental rights and freedoms are only their interpretation. After all, the plain language of the charter defines fundamental freemdoms as including both expression and religion rights, which the BCCLA argued against. I find the statements in the current article stating how the BCCLA champions rights too matter of fact, and ignores the choices the BCCLA had to make in taking sides in certain cases.

Major revamp

I am a student at the College of Law of the University of Saskatchewan that has taken this article on as part of a class project. I propose a major overhaul to this article that would include: updating the introduction with current information and citations; a far greater historical background of the organization; and, an overview of its policy positions. Feel free to provide feedback on these suggested changes. AoJ.KM (talk) 04:31, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

I have begun adding the historical background of the association, starting with the early 1960s. I have added a brief overview of the activities from the 1970s-present - these activities will be expanded over the coming weeks as I conduct my research. I am also considering creating a separate list page for cases and publications - if anyone has any concerns over any of this, let me know. AoJ.KM (talk) 15:52, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

New list page for cases

As previously proposed, I have moved created a new list of court cases involving the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association that is updated and clears up the main article page AoJ.KM (talk) 01:42, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

The article is now at least C-class and I have changed the rating to reflect that. LexLife (talk) 03:04, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I will be removing the remaining template messages. As to citations, the article has gone from 0 before AoJ.KM started editing it (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Columbia_Civil_Liberties_Association&oldid=752232230) to 37 as of today. It is an unavoidable fact of this subject that most of the references come from the BCCLA's own website or historical documents. Wherever possible, secondary sources have been tracked down and inserted for verification. The message to the effect that the article contains content written like an advertisement should, if still relevant after the edits that have been made, be backed up by a discussion on the article's Talk page.
