[edit] Comment

CPhilpot, note that Wikipedia rules of conduct do not support removing content that you simply disagree with. No one person or organization owns the PUC Wiki page. Save Rural Angwin is a valid link. Many in the Angwin community believe SRA's actions to be positive. This link has been restored. Apease 18:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SRA vs PUC links

APease, I spent some time working on the links to the Angwin page and it seems to me enhancing the census and demographic info in the Angwin page fits the topic better then placing all the items in the PUC page. And no, I have not removed any thing based on agreement but rather in a search for supported NPOV data. Cphilpot 04:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Making a link to Angwin from the PUC article is fine. I'm afraid I don't understand the rest of your comments above. If there's a controversy about the expansion of PUC, it seems logical to put that on the PUC page. I don't know what you are referring to by 'census and demographic info'.

Craig, as long as you don't delete the legitimate link to Save Rural Angwin again, this issue is resolved. Indeed, the links I've added to Census data for Angwin should be considered a good thing. However, you also removed some negative comments that were apparently from a PUC student, as follows. "A recent aggressive move by students to open more communication with the administration, which has failed in its entirety. Has led many students to doubt the currents administrations abilities to choose what is best for PUC. This as well as a new move to control more of the students expressive outlets such as concerts and acoustic venues has led to deep-seated resentment among the student body." It seems to me you could request, through this discussion page, some substantiation for the comment, but just deleting it is solely a matter of opinion, and certainly appears to be an attempt by you as a member of the PUC administration to remove anything negative about PUC. This sort of approach doesn't work in the long run. PUC should welcome the negatives, however painful, and try to improve, rather than trying to stifle dissent, whether among their own student body, employees, or neighbors.

Craig, I see that you've also altered, without any documentation to support it, the sentence I included about the sale of PUC's agricultural land. Hundreds of acres (specifically, 526 acres outside the Angwin Urban Bubble, which are all zoned agricultural) of agricultural land will be sold to Triad for development. That's not a "small amount". Although PUC doesn't admit that directly in writing, it is easily calculated. At this point, I have to ask for advice from the Wikipedia folks how to address this problem, without simply reverting to my earlier version (which is frowned upon as a matter of procedure).
