[edit] Guinea Pig Kids description

I've reverted an edit by Betterworld67 (previously made and then undone by Probewiki). The edit removed the following sentence from the "Guinea Pig Kids" description: "The BBC has upheld complaints that this documentary breached editorial guidelines on accuracy and impartiality, acknowledging that it made false claims and was biased towards the views of "AIDS denialists"."

The sentence was replaced by: "A subsequent Federal investigation confirmed that some children had been volunteered for trials by New York's Administration for Children's Services without the appointment of independent advocates to ensure their wellbeing."

My reasoning is that the original sentence was well referenced and stated a highly pertinent fact. That the documentary in question has been the subject of much controversy must be noted. It is highly unusual for the BBC to issue an apology of this nature. In contrast, the sentence added instead was unreferenced and omits the most important finding of the Federal and other investigations - i.e. that the documentary's most serious allegations were unfounded.

I think the best solution would be to include both our statements in some form or other. However, for this to happen I think we should have a reliable reference to support your statement, given the contentiousness of this subject. Trezatium (talk) 11:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
