I am new to editing on Wikipedia and added some new material with a referent citation, but the citation will not work since it seems to be controlled by the confined box on the righthand side of page. I deleted the cites that were in the box in an effort to make my citation work in the body of the text material. It still does not work. If someone can help me out that would be great! Otherwise, I will have to take time reading the help files to figure out what to do here. This is the way to learn. Thanks for your patience with me. EditWrite2 ( talk) 21:12, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Per my previous request for help in correcting the reference citations as mentioned in bold red at bottom of page so that I could add a reference cite, the previous editor simply reverted back and did not answer my request for assistance. The material I added is cogent and current and I believe adds to the article without losing the NPOV of the article.
I took the time to figure out and fix the reference problem as mentioned in the Bold Red verbage at the bottom. See comments above. Thanks for bearing with me. EditWrite2 ( talk) 17:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

From the official website, here is the information. This list should be wikified and added to the article, and perhaps there are people who are notable and should have articles, or already have articles and should have links. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 15:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
The CNCS page is currently outdated. For example, Learn and Serve America is listed as an active program of the agency. It no longer is. Can this please be replaced by Senior Corps? Accurate info is available on our website at www.nationalservice.gov. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.180.8.173 ( talk) 19:47, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Given that CNCS is now doing business as AmeriCorps ( [1]), can I get consensus that this page should be moved to the page currently called AmeriCorps? However, that means the current AmeriCorps page will be heavily impacted since the content currently at AmeriCorps will need to become a sub-page of that page, or else be given a new name to reflect the AmeriCorps youth programs to differentiate them from what is now being called AmeriCorps Seniors. Is anyone else interested in working on this overhaul with me, or at least weighing in on the appropriate course of action? When federal agencies change to a "doing business as" name, does their Wikipedia page generally get updated to the DBA? Grn1749 ( talk) 14:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: pages swapped. wbm1058 ( talk) 22:50, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
Corporation for National and Community Service → AmeriCorps – The federal agency formerly known as Corporation for National and Community Service one year ago rebranded itself as AmeriCorps, which was formerly the umbrella name for only three of its programs. I have relocated the bulk of the content from the page "AmeriCorps" to the page "Corporation for National and Community Service" (CNCS) and would like now to move the CNCS page to the AmeriCorps page, overwriting what remains of the AmeriCorps page. I considered renaming the old AmeriCorps page something like "AmeriCorps (programs)" and moving the CNCS page to something like "AmeriCorps (agency)", but this doesn't make sense because, to further complicate things, the agency has re-branded three of its other programs as "AmeriCorps" programs now, folding nearly everything they do under this "AmeriCorps" umbrella. I sought advice on the CNCS talk page about this one year ago and got no response, so I am making this proposal as someone knowledgeable about the agency after observing their branding for the past year.
