Talk:Core Knowledge Foundation

Bias, promotional tone

This article has a definite boosterist tone, promoting Core Knowledge. Anytime a critique appears in this article, a refutation in favor of Core Knowledge appears. Is this article monitored by employees of the Foundation???Gogue2 (talk) 15:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like at least some of today's edits are copyright violations, and possibly some violation of neutral point of view. For example, the new section with the heading "Two Strand Approach of Core Knowledge Language Art" seems to be directly copied from the 5th page of PDF listed as the citation. Wikipedia doesn't allow content that has been directly copied from other sources. @Johnbalen:, it's probably best to undo these changes for now. Since it looks like your account is very new, it might be useful to start by learning more about Wikipedia by reading Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia or Help:Getting started. :) --Hebisddave (talk) 13:44, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's awesome that you were working on fixing this, and that you're trying to improve the article in general. Looking at the edits made after copyright violation notices were added, there still seemed to be some problematic parts. Sections like "Recent Efficacy Research", "New York City Pilot", "Core Knowledge Language Arts: A Two Strand Approach", "Research Basis of Two Strand Approach", and "The Importance of Listening and Learning" were very close paraphrasing of the original text, which still doesn't comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy. There are some other types of problems as well, but they mostly seem to be the result of the copying -- the inline, abbreviated citations from the original text were copied directly without including the full citation they reference; the copied document seems to be a publication of the Core Knowledge Foundation so the phrasing or content isn't always in line with Wikipedia's neutral point of view. Wikipedia's instructions for resolving copyright concerns suggested reverting to a non-copyrighted version, so I've done that for now.
I know there's a lot to keep track of when editing Wikipedia, especially when making big edits or trying to add a lot of information. As we get more Wikipedia experience and browse more help files (maybe Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles?) it gets easier, I promise. :) --Hebisddave (talk) 14:33, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
