Any lawyer can sue for any amount in just about any lawsuit, and those amounts are generally meaningless. The amounts become meaningful only when upheld by jury or judge or appeals court. This lawsuit was thrown out once by a federal judge, then again by appeals court. That means the claimants had their day in court, with the result that the judicial system ruled that the case had no merit in any of its claims. skywriter 21:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Upon review, this article seems somewhat slanted in one particular direction. In addition, is it even something that meets WP:Notability for an org?
If this withstands notability, I would submit this article needs a complete rewrite and editing for content, along with a search for new and more reliable sources to accompany the text. I would like to hear the thoughts of the room. IlliniGradResearch ( talk) 05:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Deleted the following for complete absence of refernce (the footnote goes nowhere) and weasel-wording ("... is known for ..." without reference or documentation).The one footnote goes nowhere.

The link for James H. Smith, who helped found this org in 1991, leads to an article about a James H. Smith who died in 1982. Rjhenn ( talk) 22:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
The following sentences appeared as follows in the "Ownership" section of this page:
1) The Center doesn't include either an address or telephone number on its letterhead, but is believed to be headed by conservative political operative Floyd Brown. 2) In March 2009, the Center sent out an email questioning Barack Obama's citizenship.
Both had issues regarding NPOV or notability and I have revised them for the reason below:
1) I replaced "conservative political operative" with "conservative author, speaker, and political consultant" (words that are directly out of the Floyd Brown page lead. The term "political operative" is obviously a negative term and violates Wiki's WP:NPOV guidelines. 2) Sentence was deleted. It has nothing to do with "Ownership" so it has no place in this section and fails the WP:Notability test for placement within this article. One e-mail from a entity such as this isn't relevant unless someone's personal bias elevates it to that level.

Western Journalism Center → Western Journalism – Western Journalism Center re-launched as Western Center for Journalism in 2009. By April 2014 Western Journalism was distinguishing between its WesternJournalism.com and WCJ properties. In Jan. 2015 WCJ was removed from WJ's about page. Western Journalism does not use the WJC or WCJ brands anymore. Mark Schierbecker ( talk) 08:42, 10 September 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.
