History

edit

In the history portion of your article you may want to consider removing your attribution to the New York Times. As you cite the times through the citation tools,you might not have to repeat it. Just a thought. This can apply to your article in general, it may be a good way to make your content more concise. Connellys3 (talk) 22:29, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Labeling of group

edit

This opinion piece is not a reliable source for this article, in fact, it has nothing to do with this article. Viriditas (talk) 14:30, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

You're not seriously suggesting CNN is not a reliable source are you?Gobbleygook (talk) 14:38, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
The source you cited is not about this topic, it's an opinion piece about the American Community Survey. We only use sources about the topic, not sources about other topics. Finally, we have no reason to label Media Matters for America as "progressive" as it is entirely irrelevant. This has been explained to you before. Viriditas (talk) 09:50, 27 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Equality Matters describes itself as associated with Media Matters for America and since both are political advocacy groups, it's entirely fair game to describe the political leanings of not just Equality Matters, but also Media Matters for America. Gobbleygook (talk) 14:05, 27 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
The very notion that you consider Wikipedia articles "fair game" to inject your chosen bias is absurd. The source you cited isn't about Equality Matters, and we don't spoon feed our readers. Why are you adding "progresive" to MMFA over and over again? Which source about Equality Matters highlights this importance? Viriditas (talk) 22:02, 27 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
The nature of your edits is telling of the ridiculousness of your bias; you have a problem with edits pointing out the political orientation of MMFA, but have no problem with the current edit (neutrally) describing MMFA as a "media watchdog group" even though description of MMFA would have nothing to do with this article. As stated above, Equality matters explicitly associated itself with a political advocacy group so identifying the political orientation of Equality Matters is entirely within Wikipedia editing guidelines.

Which secondary sources are you citing to make this notable association? Viriditas (talk) 06:15, 21 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
The primary one, which is Equality Matter's main website.Gobbleygook (talk) 16:30, 30 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

69.48.147.51 (talk) 15:51, 15 September 2017 (UTC) There should be more information on the public response to the Equality Matters site to get different sides of the public response to it. Each fact was referenced with a reliable source which was good.Reply

Mass Comm. Course Critique

edit

The article is sourced well and unbiased. The listed staff is not sourced though. More information could definitely benefit here and there may be more out there because much time has passed. Nearing 7 years since the founding, newer more relevant information must be out there and updated. Sinnamorato (talk) 03:59, 18 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sinnamorato : Nice job with the article critique. In your research, see if you can locate a source that you can use to cite the staff for the organization. Also, see if you can find newspaper or magazine articles that delve into Equality Matters recent work and advocacy campaigns.
