Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) The entry for Creation Ministries International reads like an advertisement written by its own staff instead of reading like an encyclopedia entry. Examples: "CMI publishes the popular Creation magazine ..." "CMI has a very high regard for science and the scientific method ..." "For example, some people are surprised to learn that Creationists fully agree with Natural Selection ..." "CMI also holds its scientific evidence tentatively ..." "Many stereotypes about Creationists are confounded by CMI, who insist on a rational, scientific and open discussion ...". I don't have a beef against CMI at all, and if any of them or their supporters could write an impartial entry I would welcome it. But at the moment I think this is a substandard entry, and I agree with whoever put the notice at the top of the entry disputing the neutrality of this article. --AvrilFish 11:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CMI view overrepresented

So, the page on CMI seems currently a little skewed towards the view of said organization. There is no mention of the fact that their message is contrary to scientific consensus, and seems to pat itself on the back a little much. Changing. --Cid935 16:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, it needs more about where this group stands and what the scientific community thinks about some of their claims. C56C 16:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First round of edits

Okay, so I made some edits to the page. I took out some of the more marketing-sounding statements, and added a brief tidbit about scientific consensus, but this article requires a much more piercing rework. What do we do about all those unlabeled links that go to CMI's website? --Cid935 16:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice try, but the links provided were mainpage links that had no direct criticism of CMI, so not allowed. Also, the critical statement of the scientific method was obvious editor opinion, unsupported by the text of the provided link. -- 121.208.180.8 00:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
