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.
