Franciscans

After reading through the article on the Franciscans, I found some problems within this source of information. Overall, the article seemed to provide accurate information regarding the history of the Franciscan Order. However, something I noticed is that the structure of this article was rather clumsy and disorganized. This was a complaint within the article's talk page as well. The article started to focus on particular parts of the Franciscan Order, and drifted away from the general topic. Another problem was that some sections were missing citations and better sources of information. The references came mostly from religious sources and that appeared to me as a bias toward one position. Other sources seemed to lack credibility as well. Some sections of this article could have been broken down into articles of their own. There were some complaints in the articles talk page but it wasn't a large amount. This article still needs much more work and improvement.
