Wikipedia entries are not advertisements. The mission of the organization should be presented as just that, not as a factual statement of what it actually does. The sentence “AFWA fields the highest quality weather equipment and training…” is obvious editorializing. And, last sentence overstates the influence and impact of AFWA.

Yes, saying that AFWA has the "best" and is the "best" isn't completely neutral. However, it's more of an innaccuracy issue rather than a neutral PoV issue. For example, AFWA does field very high-quality equipment. It may not be the "highest" quality but it certainly isn't poor. At any rate, I intend to flesh out the article quite a bit more in the future, and at that time I'll get rid of any innaccuracies in grammar. On an unrelated note, please sign your posts. -GamblinMonkey 14:47, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Read the Wikipedia rules, then get back to me.

I removed anything that could be seen as not neutral. Don't let your personal views of the agency affect your neutrality. And again, signing your posts is helpful. -GamblinMonkey 15:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

I've reverted this page to the old version, since it's wikified and seems more useful than just copying the fact-sheet from the Air Force site which is linked to anyway. Also, while I suspect the fact-sheet is public domain as a product of Air Force, I'm not entirely sure of the copyright status. Mark Grant 02:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] radiofax

AFWA used to offer radiofax services over shortwave until at least 1994. Did they discontinue their services, and when? Or are they still offered? Alan.sheets 17:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
