Talk:Bridges to Prosperity

NPOV

This program has great merit but the article will be improved by eliminating the tone of program advocacy. Also, it would be a more effective Wikipedia article if it were reframed to include other organizations that do similar work. Wikipedia is not a place to promote a program, product, organization, or business. Please edit from the perspective of the Wikipedia project first and the interests of individual people and organizations second. That means being willing to take a neutral view of the topic and to share the limelight. Jojalozzo (talk) 17:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

For instance, the interview which is apparently "with" the author of this topic should be discarded in favor of a third-party commentary. The whole tone is still promotional (see WP:OTHERSTUFF to address author's concerns about other topics) TEDickey (talk) 19:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Good point. Team of independent bloggers re-interviewed Ken Frantz on 12-1-11. We have changed citation source to so note. Full interview by independent team is on their website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Who is John Gault (talk • contribs) 17:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

Looks like the author has two sockpuppets, making it difficult to distinguish their edits from WP:RS TEDickey (talk) 17:49, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

The edit style and intent is not different from "Ken". One individual is all that I'm seeing. TEDickey (talk) 18:05, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Agreed on the sockpuppeting.

I would however point out that no editors are WP:RS. It's what they write that matters, not who writes it. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:40, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

yes - I started by asking for WP:RS instead of the interview with the author. No progress. TEDickey (talk) 23:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
