![]() | Text and/or other creative content from this version of Occupy the Farm was copied or moved into Gill Tract with this edit on 03 December 2013. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
Working on some copyediting of the article, will have some changes up shortly and will document what I'm doing point by point here. I'm working from the version I had up earlier today, and not the current version, as it introduced some problems that will be easier to fix from the earlier version - but I'll be looking at the diffs with the new version and either incorporating the major changes or explaining why I'm not doing so.

History 1984 ( talk) 20:23, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Made some changes to reflect historical and factual accuracy in order to avoid bias in how the event is contextualized. Please see http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/CP/PEP/History/Reports_and_Studies/Gill_Tract_Experiment_Station_History.pdf for more information regarding the history of Gill Tract and its use by the University of California, Berkeley. The definition of the Gill Tract's original as well as current borders is contested, and is actually crucial to the conflict between the University of California, Berkeley, and the Occupy the Farm movement: http://albany.patch.com/articles/uc-pulls-whole-foods-senior-housing-item-from-p-z-agenda. However, the current agricultural field is the 10 or so (some say 14) acre plot north of Monroe St. bounded by Marin Ave., San Pablo Avenue, and Jackson St.
History 1984 ( talk) 23:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)- mistakenly typed "east" in edit summary: "Marin Ave. becomes Buchanan east of Jackson St., so Gill Tract's northern edge is along Marin Ave." should read "Marin Ave. becomes Buchanan west of Jackson St., so Gill Tract's northern edge is along Marin Ave."
I've removed the tags because they were placed ten hours ago with no explanation of them on the talk page. I'm sure the article could use additional copyediting, but don't see why it's bad enough to warrant tagging it. Looking through the article, I don't see any weasel words offhand, but please feel free to mark them more specifically or comment on them here if you see some. I have no idea why a wikify tag would be added; the article is wikified. It's sectioned, has appropriate citations, has wikilinks where appropriate, and is correctly formatted. If you restore the tags, please explain why here. Kevin Gorman ( talk) 07:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Gill Tract most definitely deserves its own article, was notable way before this event. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 05:59, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
This is a bit of a weird conflict of interest declaration. I started this article. When I did, I had no CoI whatsoever: I wasn't a part of the protest movement, and wasn't employed by the university - I was just documenting a local notable event. I set foot on the Gill Tract a few times with the permission of UCPD, but didn't actively participate in any of the protesty bits. Now: I'm currently directly employed by UC Berkeley, so I probably shouldn't edit the article in the first place. On top of that: I've just signed on to a petition related to the future of the Gill Tract (I'm not going to link it here, to avoid appearing promotional,) from the other side of things. So: with CoI's from both sides, I'm keeping my hands off this article :) Kevin Gorman ( talk) 21:17, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected links on Occupy the Farm which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
