Talk:Center for the Study of Los Angeles

Addressing Neutrality

I would like to address the following:

A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page. (June 2012)

This is in regards to the recent edits to the Center for the Study of Los Angeles.

How would you like to address this? tedder (talk) 01:10, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I work at CSLA. I've cleaned up the article to the best of my ability and attempted to maintain a neutral tone.

Are there any specific instances in the article that need further neutrality revisions?

Furthermore, the official title of our center keeps getting changed on the main page, citing copyright issues as a reason. How can I maintain our official title without violating the Wikipedia ::rules, keeping in mind that I control the official CSLA page?

I accidentally removed the title of the center, I'd meant to remove a section that was blatant copy-and-paste copyright violation. CSLA pages are copyrighted and link to this copyright notice, so they cannot be used on Wikipedia. If you copied other sections, please remove them- making "thesaurus edits" does not fix copyright issues. You can read Wikipedia:Copyright violations and Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for much more information.

The editing tag that remains is about the conflict of interest between the article creator and the content of the article. You state you control the CSLA page, so it certainly applies. Please read through the COI guidelines for more information; generally, it's very hard to write a neutral article when you are closely connected. tedder (talk) 19:55, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Currently looking to get permission from LMU to use the text from our page. If anything has to be deleted it can be restored upon receiving clearance. I have read through the COI and Copyright pages in addition to any other relevant policy pages. I will add a disclaimer stating my affiliation to my talk page and contribute information to the CSLA page and other related pages from the talk page only.
