message: I visited this page in an attempt to help with Disambiguation link repair. In my view, the page is seriously overlinked -- see the Wikipedia Manual of Style on links at WP:MOS-L. Cutting the number of links down would help the article's readability immensely. -- Smatthewman 16:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Just curious---about how many members are in the WCTU currently? Anyone have a source? It doesn't seem to be on the WCTU web site.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.17.190 (talk) 05:38, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Here's some text for consideration to include in the article:
The ideological and political notion of limiting access to alcohol products has been noted by many researchers as  outdated, unscientific and overly-manipulative of human populaces. (Add many easy to find, empirically researched references here.) Furthermore, contemporary studies highly correlate moderate alcohol beverage consumption with many health benefits, including (but not limited to) decreased risk of atherosclerosis,Kuller, Lewis H., Pearson, Thomas A., Steinberg, Daniel. Alcohol and atherosclerosis, Article Abstract. American College of Physicians. Annals of Internal Medicine. 1991. ISSN: 0003-4819.
References
:The above is a criticism of temperance in general and might go in that article. Even there though, a criticism citing one scientific paper only would not survive for 30 seconds. Take a look at the articles in the Alcohol and Health box to see hundreds of papers about alcohol's effects, often bad but sometimes good. Nunquam Dormio (talk) 08:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The summary section is supposed to be a place where the contents of the article summarized, not an analysis of the topic by inserting explanations or opinions - in this case not even mentioned in the article itself.  (Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section) I propose removing the final paragraph from the lead section:
"The connections and contradictions between the two parts of its purpose—Christianity and Temperance[clarification needed]—meant that the women involved confronted ideological, philosophical, political and practical dilemmas in their efforts to improve society around the world. Although some labelled the Union as gender-biased, others disagreed by pointing out the many male supporters behind the scenes."

replies: text: I removed the above paragraph.  If someone wants to pursue the thoughts therein, I suggest that they be appropriately referenced and incorporated or added into a new section of the article. Jsniessen (talk) 16:42, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
