Talk:Occupy Cal

Links should be added to the petitions and resolutions (though in some cases only UC Berkeley faculty and staff are asked to sign). Links should also be added to the Colbert and the hair-pulling Prof Langan video. Also recommend adding still image of baton hit.

Great suggestion. A link to the video has been added. If you have a quality still image of a baton hit, please share it, it would indeed merit inclusion. Most of all, Welcome to Wikipedia, let me encourage you to join in and help edit the article yourself too. --Tangledorange (talk) 04:47, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Petitions and faculty resolution - links?

There are at least two petitions and faculty/staff resolutions that have been circulating, however Wikipedia prevents creating links to them in order to use them as citations. The text could be reproduced here for one of them originating among the biology departments (it's only a paragraph), while the other is rather longer; signatures are restricted to UC faculty and staff (plus graduate students). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.71.26 (talk) 02:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is highly unreliable

I just removed several unsourced and strongly negative claims (arguably personal attacks) from this article which pertain to living subjects. While I realize this subject is a contentious one, every effort should be made to provide a reliable and trustworthy source (or at least *some* source) before adding a section of text and clicking the Save button.

Thanks.

+ Tagged with ((neutrality)) template. There is so much loaded language here it's difficult to tackle. I request help from the experts. --Polka — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgentPolkaDot (talk • contribs) 23:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit War

Ladies and gentlemen,

can the edit warring on this article be turned down a notch or two before somebody gets blocked from editing.

As this is effectively an edit war, discussion should take place here, not on individual's talk pages.

Please sign all comments with ~~~~

It appears to me that much of the material that has been deleted was sourced, albeit rather poorly.

It would be more in the spirit of Wikipedia to source this material properly or tag it with ^{[citation needed]} rather than deleting it.

Finally, it would be helpful if any editors directly involved on either side of this dispute declared any such connection.

I was trying to add better sources to the removed material. Just couldn't get past the edit conflicts due to the constant reverts. Eeekster (talk) 23:55, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Background information removed

Someone removed important background information regarding 81% tuition hikes, furloughs, firings and reorganization from "Operational Excellence" etc. These are sourced in multiple places that can be added. Any neutral party wishing to understand the circumstances surrounding what these particular protests are about needs to know these details.
