Talk:Canadian Cancer Society

[edit] Improving quality

Here are some things I plan to improve, and hope others will to (maybe before I get a chance):

This article is still far to much of a promotioinal ad for this group. The Society may be a wonderful group, that deserves support, but as Wikipedia can't endorse such a position in the article.
There's been reported controvsy, about the use of money. Some have criticized this group for spending money on political lobbying, when the money was raised for research/education. Both sides need to be shown.
Independent sources, such as government licensing, news reports, should be cited to report and verify how much effort is put in the different areas.
Critics should be cited, but in an impartial NPOV manner. For instance, even though I personally dislike the tobacco lobby, I'm sure they would contest what's "educational", and what's "political"; and this article should be fair.
Generally, this article should talk about the organization actually does, and not just what what it's goals are. Most organizations have lofty goals, what counts is what they've verifiably done. Now I think they have in fact, verifiable done what they claim, but that verification is not in the article. A single link to a non-government web site (their own), does not consitute WP:Verifiability.
