Talk:Mark Roosevelt

Untitled
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)

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

 * 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)

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

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)

More recent head shot
Can someone update Roosevelt's head shot with a more current one from Wikicommons? // https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mark_Roosevelt_St._John%27s_College.jpg
