Block quotation format

[edit]

Block quotations are used for quotations of four or more lines. Block quotations are indented from left and right margins. The indentations take the place of external quotation marks. For quotations within a block quotation, one uses double quotation marks.

Previous editing changes altered the format of all the sections and pushed the article to the right; I have restored the block quotation properly, removed unnecessary and confusing use of italics, and restored the format of the whole article as it appears on the page.--NYScholar 20:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Undid big deletion

[edit]

Undid a set of large deletions without edit comments by Mw1900 (talk · contribs) [1]. Unclear what the intent was. The deletions were the first edits of a new user with no user page. John Nagle (talk) 00:37, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Members and programming

[edit]

The source for the member list is bad. It does not list any members. I can't find a source that does document their membership. Going to remove this until it is sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keaigougou8080 (talkcontribs) 06:12, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also removed the section on programming and the such since the sources were bad and I could not find others. I am looking for more content to fill out this article.

That's this edit.[2]. The organization used to have a list of members on their site [3] but that disappeared in a site redesign. (The site is now a minimal-info, mobile-friendly site where the most prominent feature is a signup page. This is a trend in web design, and annoying when you want solid information. They're using Town Square Interactive, which optimizes web sites to "convert crucial website traffic into new business." But I digress.) There's another list in this report [4] on page 7. We could say "as of 2007, the organizational members of the coalition were ..." John Nagle (talk) 20:48, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We can do 2009 (so far) "no fewer than thirty-three distinct organizations-including AIPAC, the Zionist Organization of America, the American Jewish Congress, and the Jewish National Fund-are gathered together today as members or affiliates of the Israel on Campus Coalition." and it says that it also includes StandWithUs ("one of the most vociferous components of the Israel on Campus Coalition") http://web.archive.org/web/20100708014649/http://www.tikkun.org/article.php/sept_oct_09_goldberg_makdisi which seems reliable at first blush.Selfstudier (talk) 01:00, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

A lot of the external links at the bottom all went to the same thing. I removed them.

Leadership

[edit]

I created a heading for leadership to describe the group's leaders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keaigougou8080 (talkcontribs) 06:26, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

[edit]

These new SPA edits are a bit of a concern.[5] It's tough to find neutral sources to replace them. The top three search results in Google news search are Algemeiner (Jewish), Breitbart News (alt-right), and Mondoweiss ("progressive and anti-Zionist"). There's nothing on the first page of search results which can be considered a neutral reliable source. Any ideas? John Nagle (talk) 20:22, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

POV tag

[edit]

This page has become a hostile WP:POV WP:COATRACK and needs to be reworked. \\ Loksmythe // (talk) 15:59, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the WP:COATRACK material? This is material that gets away from its nominal subject, and instead gives more attention to one or more connected but tangential subjects. Please explain. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:17, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Iskandar323, I assume the WP:COATRACK material was the blatantly WP:PROMOTION section on their leader. I have edited accordingly. Otherwise, I assume the issue has been resolved. Posting again to boost discussion. Absent a reply, I'll eventually assume the discussion is dormant and remove the tag accordingly since no one has said anything on the subject in several months.
