Talk:Bethesda Orphanage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Tone of the article

I think the tone of this page is entirely appropriate. Historical, professional, no problems. People from Bethesda Orphanage can contribute other useful information, and it will balance out any extreme opinions. I would like to see more pages like this. Jenna5 07:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I tend to disagree. In fact, I believe this violates NPOV. Look at these sentences:
"Benjamin Franklin said that because of the scarcity of workmen and materials in Georgia, it would have been better to have built the orphanage in Philadelphia and moved the children there! However, Whitefield remained faithful to his contributors, who had given money specifically for the Georgia project."
The exclamation mark implies that B. Franklin was wrong, while Whitefield was right, which is a personal opinion that doesn't belong in an article. What do you think, Jenna? Puchiko (talk • contribs • email) 22:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
