I took out the divorce info but it can be re-added onece a source is given. (See NPOV_tutorial#Accusations) Also created a section for criticism so it can all go in once place. Becca77^Talk/_Email 15:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good job in the re-write, Tobeyjaggle. It is very neutral. Becca77^Talk/_Email 21:40, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article is in need of some attention. It's a bit messy and some sources are not referenced well/at all. The external links section appears to contain a number of links to similar ministries that don't appear to have a notable connection to the subject of the article. -Porlob 16:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

Some criticism is good, but this article seems exceptional critical -- to the point of not being WP:NPOV. I think this needs to be worked on quite a bit.

This is Ed Decker, the one being falsely accused of things in this article.. hard to correct when your enemies know how to work the web against you.. I will make corrections and hope they stay in.. edecker@nwlink.com July 30, 2008

I have removed material from this article that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, especially negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.

Please do not reinsert this material unless you can provide reliable citations, and can ensure it is written in a neutral tone. Please review the relevant policies before editing in this regard. Editors should note that failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of editing privileges.--Doc^g 00:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV

This article must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libellous.

It is my assertion that the comments and information concerning Ed Decker on individual lds church members websites not be considered a "reliable" source. If one wanted to state information about Ed Decker commiting adultry one would need information directly from the church or scanned information from the divorce decree. Ed's excommunication letter mentions nothing on adultry and Ed's statements are more in line with the excommunication letter than with what the two "sources" state otherwise. Also the sentence reads as though Ed Decker quit the church because of adultry, this is also not true according to the facts. The following needs to be sourced or removed. 1. Need to have official records from the LDS church showing if Ed Decker ever was counciled or disciplined for commiting adultry. 2. Official records (Church, government, verifiable statement of the former Mrs Decker) that Ed commited adultry.

If these sources do not exsist or can not be found then I will revert the changes and request that the page be locked. IowaRussell (talk) 04:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
