Talk:Sustainable Forestry Initiative

Lacking a NPOV

Hi all, I'm looking at this and I'm finding that this article is poorly sourced, provides little information how the organization works from neutral third party sources. I'm concerned that there are sections that seemingly have no function, including ones that just recount papers published by the SFI. I'm not sure what their function is. I'm considering a major rewrite of the page. Could someone help me with this and ensure it's done properly?

Is SFI a trusted independent source? (posted by IP 64.81.70.205)

Attacks from User:Forestedit

The single-purpose account Foresetedit, with this (click on this link) distinctive edit history, entirely confined to suppressing references and reports of public criticism at this article and at Certified wood‎, has made repeated attempts to suppress reports of criticism at both articles. Whether or not this IP is a shill for the lumber industry association represented by "Sustainable Forestry Initiative", edits from it and subversion at the two articles should be watched for. If a pattern of concerted subversion develops, this might be newsworthy. --Wetman (talk) 19:34, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

You're right. I came to this article looking for specific information: Who funds them? Cui bono? Not only was that information almost completely obscured, its removal left the article as a whole incoherent and not very informative. In other words, Forestedit ruined the article's usefulness. I don't see what is the need to wait for a ruling before posting referenced facts about the current legal action. Those facts are relevant to the article already.

NPOV?

This page does not seem to be fair and balanced. It seems as if it was written/edited by someone supporting SFI. I do not have enough knowledge on the subject to make changes, but would someone who does please review this article for accuracy and make sure that it is not biased?

• Thanks for your comment. Reviewing the article, if anything, there seems to be more critical perspective than straight description of what SFI is and what it does. It does not seem overly promotional to me. Regards,DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 00:56, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
