[edit] npov, style, and format issues

The article Appears to have been written by a member RLC or to have been copied from an RLC publication or website. It needs to be rewritten so it describes the RLC and it's view in a more NPOV manor and in an encyclopedic tone. Also, the article should have an intro paragraph before the table of contents as with other Wikipedia articles.

I second this motion. Anyone have the time? Njerseyguy 15:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
A month and a week later, it still reads like it was pulled straight off the RLC website, and contains a fair amount of unencyclopedic content, as well as the tone issues cited above. Tagged for rewrite. MrZaiustalk 20:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] State committees

There are links to two individual RLC state committees. Rather than encourage them, I've bumped them, posting the link to the RLC page with all 51 committees. Granted, it is easy enough to find from the main page (listed), that I'm guessing even that should be superfluous. If anyone else wants to chuck the state listing, please do. samwaltz 22:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes

I've significantly changed the article. You can see my changes here. [1] The problem was of course the fact that the entire article sounded like it came strait from the website of this political organization. The article was tagged for months now and it was about time something was done about it.--Jersey Devil 00:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Good job. Could still use some review for tone, but it's a lot better than it was. Tagged with refimprove to remind me to fix the malformatted inline links, but if anyone wants to beat me to it (Template:Citeweb&<ref></ref>&Template:Reflist=good), go right ahead. Also, restored See Also - The only link is a redlink, but I can't see any cause to believe it unreasonable to expect its creation, and thus it seems warranted under the redlink caveat in the manual of style. MrZaiustalk 01:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually that article which was red linked has been deleted several times so I removed the see also section. By all means though if there are relevant articles to link in a see also section feel free to recreate it with such links.--Jersey Devil 03:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding The Statement of Principles. Rpchristiano 01:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Everyone :)

I have a college project to improve Wikipedia pages and was wondering if I could add the RLC's official Statement of Principles to the page. As a Caucus member, I thought if I could add the Caucus'officially agreed upon principles to its page it might give individuals a better idea about what the RLC stands for and represents. Please let me know if anyone has any major objections As I wrote earlier, this is for a college project. Thanks and take care. Rpchristiano 01:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC) rp

[edit] Added RLC Principles. Government Powers, Bill of Rights, Government Reforms, National Defense, Abortion. Everything sourced properly from RLC Official Statement of Principles and Positions. Rpchristiano (talk) 09:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Everyone :)

I am a college student and a member of the caucus. I had a project that I wrote to all of you about several months ago (the direct posting above this one) that I had to edit Wikipedia pages for a course project. I added the following sections:RLC Principles. Government Powers, Bill of Rights, Government Reforms, National Defense, Abortion. Everything sourced properly from RLC Official Statement of Principles and Positions. If everyone could just hold off until the 18th of December (this month :) before you edit my sections so that my Professor has a chance to evaluate it, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks again, everyone, and Take Care :) Rpchristiano (talk) 09:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
