The current website for Wellstone Action is http://www.wellstone.org/ I think that an external link to that website should be added to this page. Then some of the page content could be rewritten more objectively, without harming the page's usefulness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.186.171.167 (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

NPOV? edit

This article reads very much like an advertisement/advocacy for the political organization in question. Especially passages like:

Everyday citizen activists are also changing the fabric of this country by organizing and winning on issues that matter.
Camp Wellstone alumni from the Citizen Activism track have had many successes: 37% have successfully lobbied an elected
official to change public policy, 54% got coverage of progressive issues in the news media, and 43% built winning
coalitions with other progressive organizations.

In general, Wellstone Action's thousands of alumni are organizing and winning - electing progressive candidates and
mobilizing on issues that matter to communities.

There is also a block of in-line links direct to the organization's website with no explanation, that appear to mostly be pages relating to pushing their position.

At the very least, the content on the page reads like it was likely copied/pasted from the group's own website. I don't know enough about this org to really make any major changes to this article in good faith aside from blanket-deleting the passages in question, which is most of the content. --70.139.9.215 (talk) 03:31, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
