Untitled[edit]

I've noticed an inordinate number of instances where the language is promoting Mark Roosevelt, or claims are made about his career that are either not sourced at all or sourced by a point-of-view (eg, Antioch College newspaper talking about their achievements). I've removed some, but not all, of these instances. 209.6.199.62 (talk) 03:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let's be blunt here: this article needs a complete rewrite.[edit]

It's blatantly self-promotional and is filled with buzzwords. I did some editing in the lead, but there's a lot more to be done. The entire career section needs to be set on fire and then rebuilt, but I am unsure of where to even start there. This article reads exactly like one of those things people hire PR companies to make. Jtrainor (talk) 08:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed. This article was turned into (pretty much) it's current form by User:Jjolls, an employee in Antioch's PR department. All edits since then have consisted of minor copyedits for the most part with no real content changes. Jtrainor (talk) 08:34, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would like the flags about neutrality, etc., to be removed by the user who put them there[edit]

I have edited this article in response to another editor's comments. I ask that editor to remove the flags.

The tags stay until this article no longer looks like a press released. Jtrainor (talk) 14:56, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have added references to the section that seems to be in question. Would appreciate more guidance from Jtrainor on where more references are needed. Thanks. Scout46 (talk) 20:42, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More recent head shot[edit]

Can someone update Roosevelt's head shot with a more current one from Wikicommons?
