This article doesn't appear to be written with a NPOV, but more like it came from the organizations pamphlet. It really needs to be cleaned up. Jamie Guinn 19:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I came looking for information about the sponsorship and work of Junior Optimists. Joy Lynn Lewis 14:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article does read like an advertorial; however, it is factual. I don't see the same questions about Kiwanis and Rotary, yet their pages are written with primary sources only. Why should there be a difference in requirements? Lindaj25 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 14:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Single-issue account OptimistInternational removed various NPOV/balancing material from both me and others (I was trying to address the notability tag, and these edits removed both independent references, along with other material). The one good thing is that these edits forced me to look into and clarify the founding timeline. Suggest keeping an eye on this account for future similar edits. 216.103.50.52 (talk) 14:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
