Thank you for this guidance. The organization has ended. I havent had any connection in more than 30 years. 2600:4040:984A:E500:457D:2C55:518A:1E8 (talk) 14:02, 19 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have no relationship with the National Commission on Resources for Youth (NCRY) and have not had one for more than 30 years. I am currently retired and have no sources of income from employment. Someone is removing my corrections from the article on NCRY, replacing them with inaccurate information about its funding and activities. This keeps happening. Many people have noted it. NCRY was an important organization which pioneered work for American youth- thus it is most unfortunate to have an inaccurate article. Henrybardklein (talk) 20:00, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dear Greenman:
Thank you for reviewing my article about Judge Mary Conway Kohler. I am writing to get clarification regarding your concerns. My sources for the article included two NYT articles, one of which was an obituary, citing Kohler's important lifetime accomplishments; the other, an article about her election to the NYC Board of Education, citing her national importance as a leading advocate for youth; and three books, one of which she herself was the author of; the other two by publishers: Harper and Row and Citation Press. Each of these sources is available for your examination; each reached national audiences; two are in the leading newspaper of the US. I am not sure what additional information you require.

Article on the National Commission on Resources for Youth (NCRY)[edit source]
I have been correcting the existing Wikipedia article, but the corrections have been reverted several times. I am sure this is due to my ineptitude. I have no skills with technology, and only regret that I am doing this and not someone who is able. Nonetheless, NCRY was an important organization and in light of its influence on the development of national youth development practice, should be preserved accurately for the benefit of research and history. The current article is incomplete and has several inaccuracies. For example, several the references are not good - when you link to several, not all, they lead to unrelated material - Tom Osbourne Federal Youth Coordination Act, Rep Tom Osbourne's Press Release. The information about funding sources is partially inaccurate - the major funder of NCRY's work was the US Department of Labor. Most important, the current article does not describe accurately the range of NCRY's activities, especially the ones that have had longer term influence. NCRY 's work was supported by a very significant Board of Directors. This is important because their involvement demonstrates that NCRY's work was influenced by and important to leading educators, business people and scientists of its time.This includes Ralph W. Tyler who was a leader in the development of educational theory and evaluation in the US; Charles DeCarlo, who led the team that created the first computer at IBM; Rene Dubos, a leading scientist and environmentalist; George Gallup; John Gardner who headed the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare and is considered one of the key architects of the Great Socie3ty programs of Lyndon Johnson; Peter G. Peterson who served as US Secretary of Commerce - and more. It was led by Mary Conway Kohler, a former judge and leader in youth advocacy https://www.nytimes.com/1986/05/06/obituaries/judge-mary-kohler-dies-at-82.html. Is there a way I can get support from someone at Wikimedia to complete this article? Henrybardklein (talk) 13:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]Reply

Stop working on Draft:National Commission on Resources for Youth, at it duplicates in part an existing article. Instead, work on improving the existing article. Given that editors have been reverting your changes there, create a discussion on the Talk page of the article and invite the other editors via making an entry of their Talk pages.

  Hi Henrybardklein! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Mary Conway Kohler that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 12:53, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your attention to this. I hope I am within the definition of Minor. I corrected several citations that had been pointed out were missing or incorrect; and a several textual errors. Henrybardklein (talk) 14:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Henrybardklein, as you can see, the article has been published. I corrected some of your citation styles to conform to our citation style 1 using templates as well as conducted some copy editing so the article conforms to our WP:Manual of Style. There are some outstanding {{citation needed}} maintenance tags that should be addressed, but overall good job on the article.
If you are able to fully address the citation needed tags, I would recommend submitting the article for a WP:Did you know hook, and it will appear on the Main page. This has a time limit of one week, so if you get that done, let me know and I can help you with the next steps. Kindly, Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks so much for reviewing and getting back to me. As you can probably guess, it has been a difficult process for me. So I am grateful for your support. Henrybardklein (talk) 19:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Talk:Mary Conway Kohler#MOS:HONORIFIC

edit

Hi Henrybardklein, just letting you know that I've started a discussion about the use of "Judge" as a title throughout the article. Instead of starting a edit war, this would be better discussed on the talk page in accordance with policy. Kindly, Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:43, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for alerting me. She was a Judge as far as I know and that title is used in many of the documents about her.I am working on a deadline now for something, but I will try as soon as I can to clean up the problems with the references. Henrybardklein (talk) 16:16, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Here is the reference to her obituary: "Judge" is used throughout. The New York Times, May 6, 1986, Section B, Page 8. New York City. New York Times article search.
And that's just one example. Henrybardklein (talk) 16:25, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Nobody is doubting that she was a judge but per MOS:HONORIFIC it is not required. Theroadislong (talk) 16:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am so sorry. It is certainly not my intention to start an "edit war." Again, I have to apologize for my difficulties with the rules on Wiki, just not a realm I have much familiarity with. I was just correcting something. Henrybardklein (talk) 16:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I looked at how other judges are presented in Wiki - and you are right. Their titles are not included throughout the articles. I will correct that as soon as I can get back to the Kohler page. Henrybardklein (talk) 16:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
