WP:EUPHEMISM and WP:PROMO[edit]

It is not acceptable in the encyclopedia to change terms so that they sound better for the program. "Its operations include the recruitment of disadvantaged students to paint the walls of their schools, and the awarding of financial rewards to some for their work;[3] Publicolor also has a number of adult volunteers who participate in the students' painting activities, or provide workshops for students." is appropriately and encyclopedically written. "Its continuum of design-based programs begins with Paint Club, a program that recruits disadvantaged students to transform their school through color for a ten-week-long semester. At the conclusion of each semester, students in Paint Club struggling in literacy and math are invited to join Publicolor’s COLOR Club and Next Steps programs, which provide life skills workshops, college and career prep workshops, academic tutoring, mentoring and financial stipends for continuing to transform underresources schools and community facilities on Saturdays." is promotional and euphemistic in its language. Wikipedia is wholly uninterested in nonsense like "transform their school through color" as a euphemism for "repainting." Please do not do this to the encyclopedia. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reads Like An Advertising Brochure[edit]

"It’s a fact that students learn better in beautiful surroundings, even more so when they are the ones creating that environment." That's a fact, huh? Who on Earth wrote this trash? This entire page reads like an advertising brochure for a useless "charity" organization that Lindsay Bluth would throw fundraisers for, not an encyclopedia entry. I don't know anything about this organization except that it sounds like a useless parody of a charity, an out-of-touch, mega-rich socialite's fantasy idea of something that would help the poor, but this entire page needs rewritten desperately using some actual valid sources.
