Metropolitan90's edits

I corrected language from Metropolitan90 that was not NPOV. According to TV guide Stewart appears on local stations in large metro areas to numerous to mention, I put in, "and other television channels." Is there something special about the "Word Channel?" (Although Stewart would probably like his viewers to know he appears on that channel). Metro has listed no independent reference to how the subject raises money or why this should be relevant. You could criticize almost any church or ministry for fund raising and lifestyle, (i.e. Billy & Franklin Graham, any one of many U.S. Cardinals & the Boston Archdiocese, etc). This kind of criticism does not fall under Wikipedia NPOV guidelines. The external links critical of the subject, at the bottom of the page were left in place and are the proper place for Metropolitan90 and others to place there critical POV of the subject.

POV/Religiously biased

The previous articles on this page are extremely religiously biased in their depiction of Don Stewart and could be liable. There seems to be an effort by some on the internet to criticize ridicule, and demean ministers of the Pentecostal culture that needs to be closely watched. I have removed offending lines and offensive title, "Greedy Preacher." —Preceding unsigned comment added by JScardilli (talk • contribs) 21:29, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

POV/Marketing

This page has a strong POV. It needs to be heavily revised because right now it sounds like marketing material. For now, I've removed the offending lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.86.26.15 (talk) 18:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Better Business Bureau reported, the Don Stewart Association "did not provide requested information. As a result, the Better Business Bureau cannot determine if it meets standards."^[1]

Should this be included? Tgreach (talk) 21:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding it since this was mentioned in USA Today in 1993 and appears to be a recurring theme in all the press coverage I could find. Tgreach (talk) 01:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Something like the BBB would be considered a primary source and I'd also not be too certain about its reliability; once some secondary source like USA Today reports on it it can be included. Mike Doughney (talk) 02:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article from USA Today isn't cited, there is no link to it to check WP-V. Better Business Bureau doesn’t endorse its members anyway so it seems to be included only as a negative comment violating Wikipedia NPOV. Harvest09 (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm reading the cited articles on this page and many of them are misquoted, don't link to the sight listed, or only give one point of view. Harvest09 (talk) 20:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
