| ITU's Odd Wikipedia Page |

Dr. Touré certainly does not believe the Wikipedia page for the ITU should read like their pr person wrote it, but that's what I found July 15th. I didn't change the substance but I edited out puffery like "most influential representatives," "most respected and most influential" and "diverse and far-reaching" and "ideal forum." Much of that may be true, but the way to prove it is by concrete examples, not propaganda. I also edited out as less important an advisory board membership of the Chief, Media Relations. Common stuff, but the talk page revealed that two months ago someone made similar edits because the article seemed "Straight from the ITU's PR department?" Those edits were reverted in just the way a pr person might. Similar edits had been reverted three times before. That doesn't reflect well on the organization. On the other hand, the page has only limited information about the actual work of the group. It would be helpful if someone added the actual working groups and particulars of their recent accomplishments. I'll help if you haven't edited before. |
