POV Template

[edit]

This whole article is written with a tone of indignation and contains bias. I don't know enough about the subject to update it, but someone should. Exercisephys (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that is your personal opinion; sans evidence, there is nothing actionable. As a result, I will remove the tag if you can't provide any other details. I know the subject and I am familiar with the large body of citations supporting it, and I'm willing to remove any glaring POV. Viriditas (talk) 23:39, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a news item not an Encyclopedia topic

[edit]

You might as well make a page on every incident and activity going on in society and in the news. Maybe if you Wikipedists should spend more time out of your comfortable home and start uniting with protesters and progressive — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎2601:7:8500:982:f48e:acc8:8c97:b614 (talkcontribs) 03:43, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware you were put in charge of defining what is and what is not an encyclopedia topic. Why would anyone here have to do anything other than write about the topic? Put down the bong, please. Viriditas (talk) 03:58, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sacramento Bee revelations

[edit]

I added a small amount on UCD's hiring of consultants to fix its negative online image, all sourced to the Bee. This is just a placeholder because it is breaking news; hopefully there will be more info coming out. LaMona (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

UC Davis Tries That 'One Trick' to Purge Its Reputation for Pepper-Spraying Student Activists

[edit]

https://reason.com/blog/2016/04/14/uc-davis-tries-that-one-trick-to-purge-i/print

Key quote:

"UC Davis would like to put the matter behind them. But instead they've managed to figure out how to give themselves yet another round of bad publicity. They have spent thousands of dollars trying to game the internet to try to hide the incident or reduce the chance that people looking up information about the college bring up the incident. The Sacramento Bee discovered through records requests that the college paid at least $175,000 to try to improve its online reputation in the wake of the pepper-spraying incident"

We need to keep an eye on this page to make sure that this has not affected the NPOV of the page. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:22, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]


'noting that Katehi was involved in and approved hiring three firms for $407,000 to repair her online image, as well as that of UC Davis.' [1] Elvis untot (talk) 23:35, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't the opening section heavily downplay the complicity of the administration?

[edit]

With literal paid "public relations" personal editing this page, it makes me uncomfortable how much of the administration's guilt is pushed later down the page. Does anyone else share this worry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:200:9F61:70EC:F59C:638E:5DD6 (talk) 00:12, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Return of Linda Katehi

[edit]

Linda Katehi has been rehired by UC Davis. Does this fall within the scope of the article, given that she was originally let go due to to this incident? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddivney (talkcontribs) 22:47, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should this image be added?

despite a recommendation that he face disciplinary action

[edit]

It's not said who recommended that, and no source was given. 2A02:810D:9440:7514:CD99:F0BF:570A:F3 (talk) 10:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
