Talk:Million Mom March

message: Ok this article needs some MAJOR work! This reads like an advertisement now. I would be very highly surprised if this wasn't written by members of this group. It sounds to me like a copy/paste off their website but since I cannot find the original source, if there is one, I'll just put a totallydisputed there for now.

replies: text: Tried to do a MAJOR NPOV edit on this, and removed the totally disputed tag for now. Added considerably more background details on the figurehead of the organization.  There are probably still issues, but it at least no longer reads like an ad for the organization now. Yaf 05:22, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Addressed the NPOV concerns with a re-write/edit. Articles are to be written with a balance called neutral point of view.  Hopefully, this article now addresses these issues better.  Of course, you can always edit the article yourself to address your concerns if you still have concerns regarding the article.   Yaf 02:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup needed

message: Is this really a reliable source? I fail to see how it could qualify as one. — Red XIV (talk) 16:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alamance Independent

message: The paragraph about the Kikko Smith shooting seems completely superfluous and irrelevant because nothing in the remainder of the article has any mention of them.  Do either of them have any connection to the MMM organization?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.39.106.73 (talk) 15:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Barbara Graham?

message: The article stated in the beginning that the Million Mom March wanted stronger gun regulations to keep guns out of the hands of kids and criminals. While that arguably may have been the intended result, the policies sought would place strict gun regulations on all people. The inclusion of children in this context is suspect as is the dubious assertation that any kind of law is going to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, since criminals are the very people who do not obey the law.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.65.159.153 (talk) 16:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ends versus means? 

message: I'm flagging this article for POV. As other people have mentioned on this talk page, the article reads like an advertorial, with abundant non-neutral language. In particular, I'm looking at phrases like "grim picture". Mike Helms (talk) 16:13, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  BradyMail seems to have one purpose here.  I'm going to try to add stuff back in, but yeesh.  It's hard when half of the stuff is puff.  Faceless Enemy (talk) 21:53, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV 

message: We need a citation besides the group's press release.  They may have existed, but another group may have been responsible for the passage of these laws, and MMM may have simply watched from the sidelines.  Faceless Enemy (talk) 13:40, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "On the state level, Million Mom March Chapters have had numerous successes in passing stricter gun laws." 

message: Should this article be about the event or about the organization that ran the event?  The first line refers to the event, but most of the content refers to the organization.  I feel it needs a lot of cleanup.  Personally I feel that it should be about the organization.  Faceless Enemy (talk) 01:22, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subject of the article? 

message: This sentence:
:William A. Levinson wrote that the Brady Campaign's estimate of the number of children who die in handgun related incidents is exaggerated.
The piece cited says Levinson "is the author of several books on business management including content on organizational psychology as well as manufacturing productivity and quality."
I do not think his opinion is relevant here. Lightbreather (talk) 02:17, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opinion of business management expert re Brady Campaign 

message: I uploaded a large amount of public-domain licensed images of the Million Mom March to commons. Feel free to add one or two of them to enhance the article. I'm having trouble deciding which photos to use. SecretName101 (talk) 08:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images 

message: What does "Grassroots" even mean then? Why isn't her background mentioned at all? 2604:3D09:D78:1000:F6F4:8026:BB0B:458D (talk) 01:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
