I couldn't figure out why the information in the trivia section was at all important, so I removed it. Feel free to put it back if you can justify its inclusion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.171.100 ( talk) 03:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me that NCSE's role as consultant to the plaintiffs in the Kitzmiller case of 2005 is notable and worthy of mention. -- Wesley R. Elsberry 21:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I cite the following article as evidence: How Religiously Neutral are the Anti-Creationist Organisations? 136.183.146.158 17:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Image:Nat Ctr Sci Ed logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
My name needs to be moved from the active staff list to the past staff list. Jessica Moran was the past Archive Project Director; her name could also go on past staff, along with Molleen Matsumura, former Network Project Director. -- Wesley R. Elsberry 17:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
On August 9, 2007, the article was anonymously edited from NCSE's dotted quad. Although the edit was minor and factual, updating the lists of NCSE's staff and supporters, it might conceivably be regarded as a violation of Wikipedia policies, such as WP:AUTO. Hence NCSE staff members have been instructed not to edit any Wikipedia entries anonymously, and to familiarize themselves with and observe all applicable policies while editing Wikipedia.

As the primary editor here maintaining the Project Steve page, as well as the articles A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism, Physicians and Surgeons who Dissent from Darwinism and Clergy Letter Project, as well as similar statistics accumulated by Answers in Genesis, Institute for Creation Research, Creation Ministries International and Christian Answers (see Level of support for evolution, now being rewritten to be more accessible hopefully), I appreciate the efforts of the NCSE as being the ONLY ONE of these 8 organizations to update their statistics on Wikipedia regularly. I wish the other organizations would do the same, frankly. Surely this is NOT conflict of interest. It is definitely appreciated by me. Rather than complaining about it, we should be applauding this action, and encouraging the others to do the same, in my opinion.-- Filll 17:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
It seems this article might be improved by a bit more on their actual activities to promote science education. The list of prominant supporters is nice (though to many red links, either we need more scientist biographies, or unlink as not notable enough for an article). Just a thought since I don't have time to work on that sort of thing now. -- Rocksanddirt 19:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Nick Matzke departed NCSE to attend graduate school in August 2007, as can be verified at the NCSE website here [4]; perhaps someone would be so kind as to move his name from the list of current staff members to the list of previous staff members?-- Glenn Branch 03:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Of all the notable work done by the NCSE, including the instrumental role it played in the Kitzmiller vs Dover trial, can I ask why the notable accomplishment given mention in the lead paragraph is the ID-parody Project Steve? Seems a misplaced emphasis to lead with it. Professor marginalia ( talk) 17:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
The article lists a few dozen 'supporters' but it is not clear in what way the support the NCSE. The article says that the NCSE has 4000 members. What is the difference betwen a member and a supporter? Northfox ( talk) 12:14, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I realized that the vast majority of references is from the NCSE website. Isn't this discouraged in Wikipedia? Also, most of the info in the article is taken directly from NCSE webpages. Looks like there is not much infor about the NCSE apart from within the NCSE. Are they that much unnoticed? Northfox ( talk) 12:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Just did some (rough) editing of an obvious mistake in quoting. Anybody wants to continue to enhance the poor quality of this article? The NCSE, a spearhaed against creationist, deserves better. Northfox ( talk) 12:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
The 'numbers(2006)' reference that appears in the article at various places, with different page numbers, is meaningless. Northfox ( talk) 10:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC) addendum: notes and rferences should be merged. Northfox ( talk) 10:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
