[edit] Opposing delete

I removed the delete request. I think that, although the article was poorly constructed, the Foundation is a signicant entity. They have done a lot of work in AIDS initiatives in Africa, and also negotiated the recent agreement with Pepsi and Coke to remove carbonated drinks from public schools. I'll do more work on the article as time allows. I recommend the Foundation employee who originally wrote the article read the wikipedia stylebook. Richardjames444 20:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversions

I'm not sure what is to be gained by reverting the article to a version that was flagged for deletion and needed wikification. In any case, the original version and the revert is a cut and paste from Clinton Foundation literature and will be removed for copyvio if it is placed back in. The user who reverted the article has gone into a number of articles to add Clinton Foundation links. They're not innapropriate, but he/she doesn't own the articles, and shouldn't revert them to an inadequate format without explaining why. Richardjames444 00:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't understand your motivation 206.165.97.2. If you want an entry for the Foundation, you have to accept that it will be "edited mercilessly" and in the process, improved. Reverting to what was orginally a substandard article is a waste of time and resources.

Now user:Clinton Foundation is reverting the article back to the unwikified, boilerplate, possibly WP:COPYVIO form as well. Silly, silly, silly.

[edit] Merge Proposal

Does anyone object to merging the article on the Clinton Global Initiative into this article? Richardjames444 20:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I merged the Global Initiative article and formatted it. Richardjames444 18:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Working together

User:Clinton Foundation- Thanks for the constructive editing on this article. The photo of the Big Dog is great. I may format the text above the picture as an intro and start putting the Foundation activities under separate headings. Richardjames444 21:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AIDS treatment

"Over the course of the past year, CHAI increased the number of partner countries and members of the Procurement Consortium, which can purchase AIDS medicines and diagnostic equipment at CHAI's reduced prices to 58"

58 what? Dollars? What was the original price? Harksaw 21:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Heh. Now I understand. I'll put in the extra comma. Harksaw 21:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] criticism?

In the criticism section it says:

On April 4th, 2008 when the Clinton's released their tax returns for the past 30 years, it was found that their charitable donations went to their own charitable foundation. [1] [16]

I don't think there is anything wrong with them doing that. The article really should mention who it was that criticized them. Besides that the criticism here is really towards the Clintons themselves, not the foundation. Borock (talk) 05:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
