Verbatim content from organization's website[edit]

I reworded a lot of material which was copied verbatim from the ASA website, and removed the entire history section as it was also copied directly. It can be rewritten but it cannot stay as a verbatim copy. The lists for Mission and Membership activities are also verbatim, but I left them as they're clearly referenced and considerably shorter. This article needs some third party references. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 15:49, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Statement on Covid19[edit]

https://www.amstat.org/ASA/News/ASA-Reacts-to-New-COVID-19-Reporting-Guidelines.aspx

"The American Statistical Association is exceedingly concerned about the July 10 COVID-19 guidance for hospital reporting from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the removal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from the reporting chain. The CDC has thousands of scientists and administrators who are experienced experts in collecting and reporting these data. Disease surveillance has been its mission since the CDC was established in 1946 with strong transparency protocols in place, as well as secure and recognized mechanisms for providing the data to the public.

Removing the CDC from the reporting chain denies the country of the CDC’s unrivaled expertise and experience, introduces the risk of data reporting discontinuities that could obscure the spread and containment of COVID-19, and removes these data from public view. The new reporting guidelines also sidestep the CDC transparency protocols that are critical to ensuring the data are impartial."

Any objections to adding a summary of this to the article? Perhaps in its own section? Covidtonthemurderhornet (talk) 08:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
