Talk:Susquehanna River Basin Commission

Untitled

Recently, an article in Wiki about the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) was edited by an individual who we believe has a grievance with the SRBC. This person is now promoting his edits on Facebook.

The SRBC is a federal-interstate compact commission formed by the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, and the U.S. Government, to manage the water resources of the Susquehanna River Basin. As such, the Commission exercises governmental powers bestowed on it jointly by the four member jurisdictions to protect water resources and users of water resources .

The new content (example: “Riverdale Mobile Home Park”) lacks objectivity, attempts to create a bias against the Commission, and is factually skewed to one Commission project action without regard to over 1,000 other project actions that SRBC has issued. This just isn’t what an encyclopedic reference is supposed to do and it reflects badly, not only on the SRBC, but also on the reputation of Wikipedia as a trustworthy source of information. It further distorts and places in a false light the work of a government agency charged with official responsibilities under state and federal law.

Several months ago, the same individual created a fake Facebook page for the SRBC. We were able to contact Facebook and have it removed. For similar reasons, we’d now like to know what course of action we can take to remove the biased content of this Wiki entry, and protect the article from future changes that seek to create bias instead of promoting objectivity. We believe that it is in both your interest and the interest of SRBC to insure that unbiased, reliable and objective information about SRBC appears on your Wiki pages. Please be in contact with me at your earliest convenience to discuss the actions that we can pursue to rectify this situation.

Adding back in a *short* mention...

While the previous section was certainly undue weight, given the fact that the SRBC's meetings have suddenly become newsworthy, a one or two sentence section based on secondary sources like the the pennlive or the wnep articles might make sense. The fact that the protests happened can be added without giving undue weight or an NNPOV.Naraht (talk) 16:42, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
