Talk:Family Institute of Connecticut

Reason for FIC page

edit

I started the stub article Family Institute of Connecticut after seeing it mentioned in Same-sex marriage in Connecticut.

This lobbying and PAC group has been prominently in the national news (October 2008) due to its opposition to same-sex marriage in the state of Connecticut, USA.

This article is based on information from the FIC website, newspapers as noted, and state and federal filings.

I am not a member of, nor do I have any vested interest in this group or any of the candidates or issues it promotes or opposes (so far as I know), nor am I trolling for an argument.

I am striving for a balanced NPOV article, but so far have not produced much more than a directory entry. Caltrop (talk) 20:32, 19 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Newly created/added cat is POV/OR

edit

Adding new cat Category:LGBT rights opposition is not appropriate here for reasons stated on the cat's Talk page section entitled, "Cat violates Wiki policy?"

Further, as illustrated on Concerned Women for America, the cat may be controversial, and cats are not used for controversial material. The existence of controversy evidences the cat is inappropriate for the page. In particular, WP:CAT says:

Particular considerations for categorizing articles:

  • It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories. Use the {{Category unsourced}} template if you find an article in a category that is not shown by sources to be appropriate, or the {{Category relevant?}} template if the article gives no clear indication for inclusion in a category.

Obviously, it is not "clear from verifiable information in the article" if the wiki community keeps removing it.

I urge and support removal of the cat, else I urge the addition of either or both cat templates shown above from WP:CAT.

I am repeating this on all pages in which this new cat was added so communities there can discuss. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 22:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
