Audiofree, you can not delete content only because you do not like it. Before you delete content you have to explain why you remove it e.g. because it would be biased, unscholarly, unreferenced, or irrelevant to the article, following NPOV guidelines. I know little about the Family but I have been involved in many articles about new religious movements so I know by now how things work here. Andries 23:06, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Audiofree, can you please explain more clearly on the talk page why you think that the article Children of God is not neutral? Thanks Andries 21:03, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Found to be" or "claims to be"

Greetings. In order for a statement like "found to be" to stand in an article, you'll have to cite your sources. If your source is the Children of God group itself, then that isn't enough to justify keeping the statement that they have found themselves to be a safe place for children, especially given the graphic evidence of their past procedures. To say that they have been repeatedly found to now be safe for children you'll have to provide a source or sources of government agencies, independant investigators or journalists who have found them so, and a link to those sources of information. Otherwise we have to adopt a neutral point of view to the statement by a group that said group, that has been abusive in the past, has changed just because they say so.
