Hi! I'm Daysi from ASPCA. This is my first time making an edit request. Since I have a conflict of interest, I added the disclosure banner at the top of the page and will suggest changes here instead of changing the article myself. Here are my first suggestions:

If you have any thoughts or questions about my request please let me know! I am eager to learn about this process and hope I can be helpful. Thanks, ~~~~ Daysiyeates ( talk) 19:04, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi again! For my second suggestion, I have some recent history that I propose adding to the Legislation and litigation section. Here it is:

Let me know what you think. Happy to hear feedback and questions. Since I have a COI, I won't make any changes myself. User:JSFarman, would you be interested in reviewing another request for me?
Thank you in advance for the assistance! Daysiyeates ( talk) 22:41, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Large amount of overlap. Remove the outdated legal details and uncited material from ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Division and merge it to American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Apocheir ( talk) 23:18, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, it's Daysi again. I've got another addition to suggest. Would editors be willing to add a section on our behavior rehabilitation centers? This has been a major project for the organization, and I think is an important part of our recent history. Here's my proposed section:

I am open to reviewing editors making changes, and appreciate any feedback. Since I have a COI, I will avoid making any direct edits myself. User:Rich Smith, if you have time to take a look here, please feel free! Thanks everyone, Daysiyeates ( talk) 20:46, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Daysi from ASPCA here again. I have a couple of additions to suggest for the article's History section that I hope will provide some up to date information on the organization and its activities:

@ JSFarman and Rich Smith: Tagging the two of you here because you responded to my previous requests. If either of you are interested in reviewing, I'd be curious to hear what you think. Thanks! Daysiyeates ( talk) 17:41, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Daysi from ASPCA again. Thanks Spintendo for implementing my last request. I'd like to make some suggestions regarding the Controversy section. From reading up on WP:NPOV, I believe sections with names like "controversy" or "criticism" are not preferred because they are not neutral. My overall thinking is to distribute the content to other relevant sections of the article, and I'll go one paragraph at a time to keep any discussions focused.
First, I suggest moving the paragraph on the the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus to the Legislation and litigation section.
I think this content is a natural fit here given the heading and that the paragraph deals with litigation.
I am curious what editors think, and if it makes sense I hope someone will make the change on my behalf. Because of my conflict of interest, I do not make any direct changes to the article. Thanks for reviewing! Daysiyeates ( talk) 20:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The suggested edits are good, but the reviewer felt omissions in the content may create balance issues. |
Hello, Daysi here again. Since this next request pertains to the Controversy section, I decided to keep it as a continuation of my previous request.
If editors agree with these changes, that would take care of the Controversy section altogether and improve the article's neutrality. Happy to hear thoughts and discuss further. Thank you! Daysiyeates ( talk) 22:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
The user below has a request that an edit be made to

actual or apparent
conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is high. Please be very patient. There are currently 168 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
@ Spintendo: I think I understand your concern. I've been reading up on WP:BALANCE, and I still feel that the information in Controversy is creating bias in the article. If you think that section should stay there, would you consider adding in content from this USA Today article? It's from an outlet of similar prominence to CBS and came out at a similar time to the CBS report, and it includes analysis of the organization's budget from Charity Navigator. If you agree, I can suggest specific content if that is helpful.
Although I am not sure it is a reliable source, I also thought I'd share this BBB article, which goes into further detail about the State Humane Association of California's complaint. If this source is acceptable, I'd suggest adding it in, as well, per WP:BALANCE. Happy to hear any thoughts and continue discussing. Thanks! Daysiyeates ( talk) 21:52, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
One minute of the neglected animals would be enough. Commercials are too long and upsetting for people who already donate. Just mute it or change the channel. 67.1.239.118 ( talk) 16:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
