AHA Article
I have reverted your changes to this article. It is generally not acceptable to totally change/revert an article to POV without at least discussing your changes first on the article talk page. As well, none of the material that you posted was referenced - it all sounds like it came from the AHA website. If they have a web site with this material on it, there is no need for it to be repeated on wiki - it can just be referenced. In fact, I think I did reference the AHA animal care code in the older/reverted version. Please review the Wiki policy on point of view. While a lot of the history stuff and stuff about AHA working on children's issues would be valuable for the article, the POV language has to be moderated or it's just an unsupported fluff piece for the organization. Saying things such as the group raises awareness of something doesn't mean anything in the context of an encyclopedia - what height was it at and how far did the group raise it? Stuff like that could be rephrased to something like "the group states its purpose is to raise awareness"; or saying "the only group authorized to" do something - authorized by whom, only group? how do you know that? Where is this documented besides the group's website? If you want to repost some of your material in an accepted fashion, please discuss your changes on the article talk page to reach concensus first to save having everything you do removed. Sorry, don't mean to be harsh. Bob98133 13:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
