Talk:AED (non-profit)

message: This isn't appropriate. I created this article by researching this org and adding appropriate citations; only the recent additions by an unregistered user constitute legitimate concerns about advertising, particularly after their revelation on their talk page that they work within the organization. I am going to delete the offending information and then delete the tag; if you are still concerned please nominate the article for AfD. • Freechild'sup? 18:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 1)"Mission" still reads like an ad. 2)The list of the BoD is unnecessary, and looks like a vanity insertion. 3) There should be an external link to the main site, not a link farm for additional AED webpages. 4) What is the relevance of that last link to this article? --Orange Mike  | Talk 18:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Kept the actual mission, erased the fluff; deleted the list of BoD members, keeping only ones with WP articles implying notability; removed linkfarm. • Freechild'sup? 20:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: AED has in the past 48 hours become part of news pieces by many US publications.  USAID canceled their overseas contracts as a consequence of "serious corporate misconduct."  I think this article is worthwhile, but it needs to be re-written; presently it reads like an advert.
