Talk:3HO
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The content of this page sounds like it was taken directly from a 3HO brochure - it is clearly biased, or at a minimum, one-sided. I will mark it as such.
A simple Google search for "3HO" reveals that this group is considered by many to be a dangerous cult. See the following links for more information about this perspective: http://www.freedomofmind.com/resourcecenter/groups/h/3ho/ http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/66.html?1101310715 http://www.rickross.com/groups/3ho.html
If the original author, or any other contributor, makes changes to fix this article, great. Otherwise, I'll edit once I've had a chance to do some proper research. --205.156.188.254 18:33, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know much about 3HO but I don't see the problem with the current article. It's a stub (i.e. it contains very little information) but there is nothing biased about the information contained within. It might not contain information about the controversies, but the article itself isn't biased. I'll remove the tag for now. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 19:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Reprinting a controversial organisations claims about itself without mentioning it's detractors *is* unbalanced and dangerous. Sukh is clearly wrong on this one - the information presented in the stub may have been factual accurate but is presented with a biassed 'spin', and besides, omission of the detracors opinions is bias through absence of dissent.
In my edit, I tried to address the difference between 3HO and Sikh Dharma as organizations, given that 3HO does present itself as not directly associated with Sikhi. I did not do as well of a job as I would have liked, but maybe someone else can expand upon that. I also added a little to the cult section so it looks less like a "jab" and more like serious criticism. Sources added as appropriate - I used the footnote style because it appeared to be in use in the Sikhism main article. Lastly I changed the description of Yogi Bhajan, since the main page is more appropriate for his names and titles, and instead described him as founder of 3HO. I hope to keep working on this article over time, but this is all I had the chance to do for now and I wanted to make sure that I was going in the right direction.
