Issue of text copied from the webpage of water.org

[edit]

The following text has been simply copied for the most part from the website of water.org into the article: "Water.org has an unbeatable track record of project success: it maintains a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator it meets the Council of Better Business Bureaus' Standards for Charitable Solicitations it holds the Independent Charities of America's "Best in America" seal of excellence Of the many thousands of charities operating in the United Sates today, fewer than 5% meet or exceed these standards." Since Wikipedia is not a marketing tool, whether for corporations or non-profit organizations, I have removed this text for the time being. One reason is the eulogial tone of the first sentence: "unbeatable track record" is marketing speak and has no place in an encyclopedia. Furthermore, any information on Wikipedia should be backed up by references from independent sources. Therefore, there should be a reference from the Charity Navigator confirming the Four-Star Rating, a reference from the BBB confirming the compliance with Staqndards for Charitable Solicitations, and a reference from the Independent Charities of America concerning the seal of excellence. Just citing the website of water.org is not sufficient. This does not mean that Water.org has not obtained these ratings and seals. It simply means that a bit more work is necessary to include this information in an encyclopedi.-Mschiffler (talk) 16:04, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
