Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 5 external links on FoodCorps. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

FoodCorps updates

edit
  • What I think should be changed (include citations):

In the History section, it should be reflected that Cecily Upton is no longer working with FoodCorps. Source: https://foodcorps.org/wishing-a-fond-farewell-to-cecily-upton-foodcorps-svp/

In the Function section, the amounts of the service stipend and Segal Award are incorrect. Source/correct amounts are listed here: https://foodcorps.org/apply/benefits/

The description of Host Sites, number of Service Sites, and subsequent list of sites are all outdated. Source: https://foodcorps.org/about/sites/

In the Philosophy section, the description of pillars is outdated. Source/updated information: https://foodcorps.org/what-we-do-food-education/

In the "see also" section, the link to Childhood Obesity should be removed, as FoodCorps no longer focuses on obesity. Source: https://foodcorps.org/what-does-healthy-mean-our-2020-vision-for-healthy-food/

  • Why it should be changed:

This information is based on 10-year-old news articles from when FoodCorps was very newly founded, and is therefore deeply outdated. The information on this page conflicts with the information on FoodCorps' website and is therefore very confusing to stakeholders. It would be greatly appreciated if an editor could revise the page to include the most accurate and recent information! Thank you!

Hi Cberedjick, it definitely makes sense to update this information, however it is Wikipedia best practices to source information with independant, third-party sources. Can you find sources for these updates that do not come directly from FoodCorps? -- Cmccarthy215 (talk) 13:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply


Hi there Cmccarthy215! I totally understand. This information hasn't been discussed in any third-party sources, so unfortunately the FoodCorps website is the only definitive source for this information. Are there any alternatives to third-party sources or workarounds that would allow information from the FoodCorps website to be published? Cberedjick (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi again Cberedjick! Looked into this a bit more and since there are no other sources and these are all pretty basic, subjective updates, I think we can make an exception and go ahead with these sources. I will work on implementing these revisions. -- Cmccarthy215 (talk) 18:54, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Cmccarthy215, that's fantastic! Thank you so much! Cberedjick (talk) 19:15, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
