Yoohoo..any CCers here? QuizQuick 03:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Bleh, me. I just wish that Wikipedia could have some respect for anecdotal evidence, seeing that it can lead to interesting insights/hypotheses. Simfish 04:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article overhaul

I removed a great deal of material from this article, the vast majority of which was uncited, unverifiable/original research, or unencyclopedic, reducing it to a stub. I think this article could easily be deleted as non-notable -- I can't find any commentary on the website from an outside source -- but this will do for now. Dylan 23:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Update: I'm going to {{prod}} it anyway. Dylan 23:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I've contested the prod (after it was deleted, though, making it a bit of a hassle). The site's Alexa ranking is currently about 10,000, and used to be around 2,500. That's very good- this site isn't non notable, though the article could be better. Also, not all of the information you removed as unencyclopedic, so I reverted and slapped a cleanup tag on there. --Rory096 21:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I wandered back here today, and there was still a ton of original research and unsourced opinion lying around. I went through and did another cull, this one more discriminating than the only mentioned above. If you want to revert any part of the cull here, please make the case for including specific material here, because although the blanket revert done in August may have saved legitimate material, it saved with it a whole lot of unacceptable stuff.

[edit] Reinstating old revision

A few months ago, I cut the article and revised it to reflect NPOV and notability. It was reverted by an anonymous IP. I noticed today that the article still had some POV issues and didn't accurately describe the site well; CC is a college admissions company foremost, and its forums, while popular, are incidental to the organization's purpose.Exeunt 05:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Ah, ok that makes more sense. Wickethewok 08:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
