The "see also" Cultural appropriation doesn't seem to be supported by the text. As this is a potentially inflammatory subject and the implication by linkage (especially since on a quick glance I didn't see any other neodruid or other neopagan groups, linking to that topic), I think it feels POV. Disclaimer: I am a member of OBOD (but have issues with much of their "scholarship"). If there is a particularly good reason for that link I'd like to see some discussion in the text, otherwise I'd like to see the link go. I'm reluctant to do it myself because of my own affiliation. -- Straif 21:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly subjective sentence

I was reading the text after clicking on "Random Article", and I must admit I not only know nothing about the topic, but actually had no idea Druid Orders even existed. Nevertheless, the following bit seemed to me to be quite subjective:

"[this order is] one of the most dynamic and creative"

Since it seems unlikely that all the orders got together and had a creativity contest, this sentence unfortunately does read like it's the opinion of its own members, and not a plain fact.

If, on the other hand, the orders DID hold creativity contests (like I said, I have no idea), adding a couple of references to support this statement would greatly benefit the article. MIP | Talk 01:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

As there was no opposition, I will now edit the article to remove the subjective statement. Mip | Talk 11:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
