You do know that WP is a collaboration of people from around the world who can edit articles. This Misplaced Pages Public Policy Initiative sounds interesting but it does not seem to give you academic freedom to OWN the article. --Shuki (talk) 01:17, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Cleaning up the POV and misuse of sources

Hello Ka Yaffa. I suggest you start doing the test edits for your project on a less contentious subject. You filled up the article with extremely non-neutral statements based on sources that do not comply with Misplaced Pages policy, repeated the same information several times and introduced passages that were not written in proper English. The photo layout was unattractive and did not illustrate the subject. The purpose of Misplaced Pages is to write well-sourced, well-written articles in a neutral tone. Your input to date has been non-neutral, sensationalist, politically slanted, repetitive and poorly worded. You have introduced WP:SYNTH (applying some generality to the specific case here, with no reliable source making that connection), and given coverage to certain incidents that is excessive in the context of an article as short as this. Additionally, non-English sources should be replaced with English ones as you can find them, so that readers on English Misplaced Pages can access them. I hope this explains why the article was copyedited and revised, and will help you in further productive editing. Good luck, --Nopleazy (talk) 11:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Everyone - Just to update anyone that may be interested in this page: I am a Georgetown student working as part of the Misplaced Pages Public Policy Initiative. I just posted a draft of my entry on to the website and welcome any advice, comments or criticism. I would love to keep building on and improving this page so please let me know if you think it needs more work/editing or feel free to do so yourself as well.
