In article criticism from reliable sources vs external link [edit]

From WP:EL: Any site that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research. See Reliable sources for explanations of the terms "factually inaccurate material" or "unverifiable research".

The inclusion of ProvidenceWatch, a union sponsored site that aggregates news and non-news sources as an external link is in fact undue weight. I suggest if folks want to use the material there they follow NPOV guidelines and incorporate criticism into the article referencing the actual sources, then no one can be accused of censorship.

Ministry [edit]

Please explain what the term "ministry" means. As a key term in the first sentence of the first paragraph of this article, the term "ministry" should be clearly defined and 'wikified', but it's currently not. Wikipedia provides a number of possible definitions, but it's not clear which one fits in this particular case. Please correct this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

Inaccurate information about Providence & Swedish relationship [edit]

The official business relationship bewteen Providence and Swedish is an affiliation, not an acquisition [1] [2]. It is a false statement to report it as otherwise, and is also unsourced information. ErinShwatty (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

The official name is an affiliation but anyone with brains knows that if you take over all finances for a company without the intention of giving the finances back it is an acquisition. Affiliation is just a word to make people feel better about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.173.0.16 (talk) 17:49, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
