Talk:Creative Coalition

Where did this come from? --BDD 04:38, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Text Removed
I answered my own question, posed above, and found that this information was indeed taken verbatim from the Creative Coalition site. The text can be found on this page under the "What We Do" sections. Whether from a CC member or an outside user, this is not what we want on Wikipedia. If you feel up to the task, you're welcome to work with that text, which I have preserved below, to make a better article. I, for one, don't know anything about the group and feel like I couldn't add much to the subject - but I can make sure Wikipedia isn't just mirroring other pages. It's just not professional. --BDD 16:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Article as of April 14th
The Creative Coalition sponsors public forums for the discussion of central issues such as education policy, violence in America, the role of the media, campaign finance reform, gun control, and other topics of broad concern. These highly publicized events ensure a balanced approach that always includes concerned and informed members of the creative professions.

The Creative Coalition tackles issues of direct importance to the arts and entertainment community, including First Amendment rights, public funding for the arts, and arts education in the public schools. The Coalition testifies before Congress, sponsors awareness-building events, actively participates in the Democratic and Republican conventions, and plays an assertive role in presenting the creative community's views on these issues.

The Creative Coalition offers special services to its members to help prepare them for public roles as advocates and spokespeople. The Coalition believes informed advocacy is effective advocacy, and encourages the ongoing education of its members as they exercise their rights as citizens in public settings.

The Creative Coalition homepage

Rename to "The Creative Coalition"?
It should be called "The Creative Coalition" as the organization often goes by TCC. The page I created yesterday under that name was taken down when the information was researched,expanded, and updated from this current page. I do understand, however, that I did need to cite the info I added, but honestly I was going to do that today anyway to prove that the information is correct. -Jjanis1 August 12, 10:24 AM
 * As explained on User talk:Jjanis1, I reverted the copying and pasting from Creative Coalition to The Creative Coalition because it was done without attribution, violating the requirements of the CC-BY-SA license that the copied text is under. I don't see a pressing need to move the page, but I won't object if it is done in the proper way described at Moving a page.
 * You are still welcome to re-add sourced content, but please consider that extensive descriptions of one current charity effort might be desirable from a PR perspective and appropriate on the organizations own home page, but could be seen as less relevant for a neutral encyclopedia article encompassing the whole history of an organization.
 * In case this edit (removing information about the organization's political ties, and retainment of a lobbing firm) was made by you: Please avoid deleting sourced content without giving an explanation.
