Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Snowmanrecording.jpg

message: Maybe someone should add a "maybe you where looking for Barnardo's, the charity" thing to the top of the page for Paul Bernardo - it's only one letter difference, and it's the 2nd google result for a search on "barnardo's" 86.112.65.18 (talk) 11:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Barnardo's own web-site implies that Barnardo intended to study medicine and that he never did so.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 (talk) 12:10, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Implication 

message: Much of the history is sourced to BBC H2G2, which consists of user-submitted content and is therefore not a reliable source. January (talk) 10:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sourcing 

message: There seems to be a disproportionate amount of criticism in this article, with two sections focusing on criticism. I'm going to cut a bit of criticism and merge both sections, but I think the article needs balancing out with more neutral information; maybe a list of campaigns? 86.136.228.153 (talk) 13:55, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much criticism 

message: No, please don't just remove well-sourced criticism from this page again. If you want to balance it with more favorable information then do so. You cut out the whole section on Barnardo's involvement in Cedars, which is highly relevant and very well documented.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.103.154.146 (talk) 18:48, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of criticism

message: It says -  'In all, he was taken to court on 88 occasions, largely on the charge of kidnapping. However, being a charismatic speaker and popular figure, he rode through these scandals unscathed. Other charges brought against him included presenting staged images of children for Barnardo's 'before and after' cards and neglecting basic hygiene for the children under his care.[5]'
No mention of the fact that the vast majority of the charges were falsified. Being a charismatic speaker and a popular figure is not why most charges were dropped.
Bit of balance, please.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.62.162 (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems with Origins section 

message: I have removed the quotation marks around the "Dr". Barnado was a qualified physician. British doctors use the title Dr. Refdoc (talk) 09:27, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The article mentions the origin of Barnardos as children left "orphaned by a diabetes outbreak"-- diabetes is not a communicable disease, so this is a puzzle to me. Source?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crocodilian (talk • contribs) 17:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diabetes Outbreak? 

message: "Between 1945 and 1974, Barnardo's supported and participated in schemes that saw around 150,000 children exported to imperial colonies where they were mostly abused, beaten and neglected."
That's interesting considering Barnardos has a database and ship's lists exist that record children being sent in at least the very early 1900's. I have a relative who was on the ship "Colonia" in 10/6/1902 in a "Special Party" all children. They docked in Portland, ME and were transported over the Canadian border. Research it. 2601:8B:4400:6E40:B15A:9046:A391:7BD5 (talk) 04:38, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
