[edit]Is this article NPOV? I think it sounds like it was written by someone who is antagonistic towards them; does anyone else think so? At any rate, I think it could be written a lot better, but I'm probably too biased the other way to successfully do it.Shanoman (talk) 20:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
I agree. It starts off by immediately calling the group "liberal" and refers you to two newspaper web pages in which also simply tack on that label. Looking at the actual organization's website, it does not describe itself as liberal. I did not do an exhaustive search, but I could not even find an instance of the word "liberal" on the organization's web site. Mason1024 (talk) 19:55, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- So? Neither does the Heritage Foundation describe itself as conservative on its website (AFAIK). Why would such an organization willingly paint itself as being biased? KGill talk email 18:04, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
NPOV Sept, 2010
[edit]I've added the NPOV tag to the page. The article has problems with POV and style: "President Ronald Regan had an epiphany," etc. Not that Reagan didn't have epiphanies, it's just, you know, terrible writing.JRNorbergé (talk) 13:46, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
This article is one giant advertisement for a lobbying group
[edit]The article has multiple issues, and has been tagged as such. Further, there are clearly those patrolling the article to make sure the issues remain. Key issues are POV, Advert, essaylike. Problems include, but are not limited to:
- The introduction blatantly advocates political positions
- Weasel words are used throughout
- External links violate Wikipedia policy, directing users to advertising
- The article is amazingly one sided in support of the lobbying group
I have tagged the article. Removal of the tags without modification to correct these blatant policy violations will be reported on the appropriate administrators notice board. Sfcardwell (talk) 03:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Fixed
[edit]All of history and points now backed up with sources and fixed up from previous state. Work in progress.
Also, removed external links as per previously mentioned violation.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.195.247 (talk) 16:57, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
