User:Alex.deWitte quoted on User_talk:Yottamaster <<It's not my fight, but I am very disappointed when people make absurd absolutist claims, such as "If you are an atheist, you can't be moral." A morally clear person would not be passing this kind of sweeping judgment.>>
Alright, I will leave the dorms alone if you will make the language sound encyclopedic rather than narrative. Sources should also be there, but I will leave that for someone else to argue another day. Chamberlian ( talk) 15:18, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
I don't think the article sounds encyclopedic the way it is currently ( [1]) written and I don't think that "Personal remembrance, Paul M Lieberman (SB 1976 Course 8)" counts as a reliable published source, but since you are the one who has committed to fixing that article while I am not really contributing, I won't say anything more.

Hi there. I had some questions about recent edits you made to the American Council of Trustees and Alumni page. You deleted the portion where Lynne Cheney was referred to as the former Second Lady of the United States. Could you explain your reason for doing this? Also, you added a sentence, "Although nominally a nonpartisan organization, ACTA's philosophy is usually described as conservative." You didn't have a reference for this claim, so I'm going to delete that sentence. Please feel free to re-add if and when you can find a credible source. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. That makes sense about the Cheney description, thanks for clarifying that. While many of those involved in ACTA's founding are affiliated with the Republican Party, not all are (i.e. Richard Lamm, who was a Democratic governor of Colorado). As for the conservative description, I'm just concerned with everything in the article being sourced. I noticed that many of the references in the article are from the ACTA website or from ACTA publications, so I'm trying to broaden the references and make the article more neutral. It looks like it needs quite a bit of work, and I'd like to make it better-referenced and more neutral overall. I'd welcome your input and help with improving the page.

It's okay to disagree with me over the inclusion things in the article, but please do not engage in personal attacks by calling my edit unjust. Do you have any sources that support the section you restored? If you do and they are reliable sources, I would fully support that section staying in the article.
