Robertjohnsonrj, I am confused as to why you included the tag stating that this article documents a living person. Ellsworth Culver is very much deceased. Therefore, I will make changes accordingly. Snagglepuss 07:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

This article reeks of copy/pasted material, perhaps it should be revised and wikified? Snagglepuss 02:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Depending on number of other references/information coming up, this may warrant inclusion. https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2019/10/mercy-corps-shaken-by-sexual-abuse-allegations-against-co-founder-ellsworth-culver.html Ronabop (talk) 19:47, 8 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

As of the moment, more of the article is unreliable (in its lacking a tie to any source) than is reliable. We've added more than a dozen additional sources, in a new Further reading section, so the Early life and Career sections can be rewritten based on them (rather than continuing as they are now, WP:OR/personal knowledge).

At the same time, the sexual abuse and other misconduct allegations—having been adjudicated almost solely in the media, at a time when the title subject was deceased—need to moved to being underpinned by the best sources, and then to be acknowledged for what they are—allegations with multiple lines of substantiation, and with many supporting sources, but nevertheless untested in a court of law that has allowed for defense—and so the paragraphs in that further section that are unsupported need to be replaced with content from that subjects many available sources (again, see Further reading), and the personal expression of WP editor disgust needs to make way for reporting the perspectives of published authors, i.e., of their disgust rather than ours.

Only then will the article move toward encyclopedic. For the choice appears to be either the hard work of rewriting, or the bold work of removing what never should have been allowed in the first place (BLP content without source, at least in two whole sections). Signed, former registered editors who still stop in, and occasionally are motivated to try to make a difference. 98.226.86.66 (talk) 09:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
