message: So if anyone knows any CMPSers who would be willing to take a crack at this article, or would be willing to revise it themselves, please do it -- the section as it stands is sadly lacking. UnDeadGoat 23:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The article on Future Problem Solving says that the first two problems are not competitive problems, that they are practice problems only.  There are affilitates, most notably Kentucky, that use the second problem as the first competitive problem.  This is known as the "district" competition problem and the problem is completed in its entiretyBabyquacks77 19:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does the section 'Future scene' indicate "...set at some point in the future (usually 20-30 years). Each..."
Shouldn't it be " ...set at some point in the future (usually 20-30 years after the present year). Each ..."Zheliel (I know I'm pro) 14:41, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

message: None of these questions are addressed in this article. This reads like a brochure rather than a serious article. Aren't there Wiki requirements about this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.167.198.121 (talk) 21:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

message: At the moment, this is completely unsourced (their own website doesn't count), and 99% irrelevant trivia. I'm perfectly willing to believe that this is a significant organization, but you need to provide multiple, independent, non-trivial sources (note the "independent" part) to demonstrate that and to verify every fact claimed in the article. Wikipedia is not a web host; if someone doesn't do something towards cleaning out the spamvertorial, I'm going to remove at least 75% of this. – iridescent 22:04, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is pure puffery 

message: A search for +"Future Problem Solving Program International" on Google turned up nearly 80,000 pages. Also, this organization was briefly discussed by David Letterman on the Late Show With 
David Letterman (CBS Television network, United States) on March 21, 2012. The context was an interview with actor Josh Hutcherson; he mentioned that his younger brother, Conner, placed fifth in the international competition. David Letterman said, "I'm so happy to hear this because I worry about the future of this planet... That's the most impressive thing I've heard in a year on this show." (Letterman's comments compelled me to look this group up here.)
I don't think notability is is an issue with the topic of this article, so I'm removing the notability tag. However, the article still needs a rewrite because, as it is, it sounds like it was written by someone in the group's PR department. Also, with 80,000 pages out there, it shouldn't be hard to find real sources. Sparkie82 (t•c)  05:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: p.s. - If anyone from the organization is reading this, it's in your best interests to fix this article because articles on Wikipedia that are written like press releases reflect poorly on their subjects. Sparkie82 (t•c)  05:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
