Response to complete rewrite

I like the old version better than the completely rewritten version of the article. Although it was unreferenced, it was less POV. If no objections, I am reverting it back to the older version and marking it as {{unreferenced}}. Tuxide 20:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to combine the two versions. Academic Challenger 00:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American Foundation for the Blind notation needs reference

The "See Also" section contains a reference to the "American Foundation for the Blind" which is otherwise unreferenced in the main article. The reference, however, includes the notation "formerly a rival organization controlled by agencies that were against the NFB" which seems entirely out of place and unsubstantiated. If this is to be included I think it needs to be addressed in the main body of the article perhaps in a "Relationships with other Blindness Organizations" section (which might also be a good place for some of the ACB related material) Bondolo 02:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article written like an advertisement?

It doesn't appear so to me. It seems fairly factual and objective in my opinion? 71.77.20.119 (talk) 00:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing factual or objective in the article its bias and unsourced, it praises products and pulications by NFB and appears to be written by people with a stake in promoting the NFB. Gnangarra 23:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's your opinion. Please separate the issues of the need for secondary sources and the "advertising" issue. You have not done so, other than with your own opinion. I disagree with your opinion. Lots of articles make positive statements about their subjects. Saying something positive is not necessarily biased or "advertising". Please back it up with something factual. If you can't do that the deleted information needs to be restored pending a consensus to remove it. As I have time I will find secondary sources, but in the mean time you need to provide something more than your opinion as a basis for wholesale removal. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 01:03, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
