Talk:Diamond Ranch Academy

Given that the facility was just ordered to be shut down for the death of a child, I feel it might be worth investigating why someone was covering up abuse allegations so vehemently.

Can Wikipedia cover itself? Just wondering.

Agreed, it seems pretty weird. Liberty90 (talk) 17:57, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Review of Recent Update[edit]

Content which violates two of Wiki's content regulations was recently added to this page. The most recent update includes content that is both libelous and poorly cited. I'm requesting that an established Wiki editor please review this update for its legitimacy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosettej (talk • contribs) 16:24, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done I removed the content. --Orlady (talk) 16:56, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Review of Recent Update[edit]

An editor has once again, added libelous content without proper citation. Orlady was great and took care of this issue, but it looks like the unidentified editor has put the content back. Could Orlady or another established Wiki editor please review this content once again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosettej (talk • contribs) 21:06, 14 April 2014 (UTC) Done--Orlady (talk) 02:04, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Report of edit warring[edit]

It appears that there is an editor who is engaging in edit warring on this page. Could someone please look into this? Each time I have an established Wiki editor review the libelous and poorly cited content, the original editor puts it back up. Thank you! Cosettej (talk) 14:47, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Link left in[edit]

Thank you for reviewing the last problem! It looks like there was a link left in at the bottom that doesn't belong in the "External Links" section. Could you please take a look and let me know if this could be removed? It links to a page that is not an established source of information for Diamond Ranch Academy, and is unrelated to the content in the article. Thank you!

Link[edit]

Hi, could someone please look into removing the link at the bottom of this article titled "DRA Survivors"? The linked site contains content that is both irrelevant to this article and produced by a non reputable source. If additional information is needed, I suggest the addition of one or more of the links below. These link to reputable sources of information and relevant content. Thank you for your time!

This user is promoting false advertising and spreading propaganda about the program for financial gain. The DRA survivors website lists countless testimony, some sworn in by the court of law, of past students enrolled in Diamond Ranch Academy. It is beyond relevant to the page because it depicts witness accounts of the former members of the Academy itself. Katlynj (talk) 01:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the latest addition that was added by an anonymous critic. DRA Survivors is an anonymous blog written by someone with a clear WP:COI. The website does not meet Wikipedia's standards to be included as a WP:RS. Thank you. --H McCringleberry (talk) 18:35, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Content added without citations[edit]

Libelous material has been added to this page without citation. This is more than likely an edit made by the same source that was blocked from this page in past months. Could an established Wiki editor please take a look at this and remove the content that offers no citation? Thank you for your time! Cosettej (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cosettej, I've removed an unsourced claim from the article and the link to the site that does not meet our external links guideline. I just wanted to note that it's really a good idea to flag these suggestions on the talk page, as otherwise no one may see them. If you place {{edit request}} (curly brackets and all) when you make a new request, it will draw attention usually within a day or two by an uninvolved editor who will evaluate the matter. With millions of articles and only thousands of regular editors, I'm afraid that not every page has attentive eyes at all times. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 10:35, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cites to press releases and industry articles for historical information[edit]

There is a user who is deleting cites to press releases and industry articles for historical information about troubled teen programs. These are legitimate sources of information in this context. This person should stop deleting these. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farr4h2004 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation for why there is many sections[edit]

Reason for so many section is there recommended on Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article advice page. 1keyhole (talk) 01:38, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
