Opposition to KFTC

It appears the article omits opposition to KFTC by the coal industry. It appears that this article is NOT neutral. Comments??? Willking1979 (talk) 01:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

It appears that any reasonable person could gather from the description and mission statement that KFTC is in conflict with large corporations, perhaps coal companies. However, it is clear that the article -- or stub, rather -- is so minimal that it does not even state that one of KFTC's many campaigns is directed against the coal industry. Given this clarity, rather than claim non-neutrality of a stub, it would contribute much more to detail the interactions between citizens working on behalf of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth and those corporate executives bent on safeguarding their economic interests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.28.49.232 (talk) 03:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I have to agree with the anonymous commentator. This is a stub article that briefly summarizes the beliefs and goals of the organization. As a political/social activist group, it seems very obvious that there would be organizations on the other side of their issues. Since the article doesn't even really mention anything about their involvement with issues surrounding coal mining, it would be POV to make any real issue of their opposition by that specific industry at this time. --Wingsandsword (talk) 04:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:27, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Kentuckians for the Commonwealth/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

== Ratings: Quality and Importance == This article contains information that largely appears to have been pulled or radically condensed from he KFTC webpage. However, as the information provided is incredibly minimal, there is little POV and the article is just a stub. Expansion should be undertaken as the article could be considered of high importance to Wikipedia's coverage of Kentucky. The organization has over 6,000 members, is rapidly growing, and is in the midst of redefining its purpose and strategy. Lawmakers have expressed that because KFTC is completely member-driven rather than staffed with lobbyists, it is one of the few groups that effectively achieve their aims in Frankfort (capital of Kentucky).96.28.49.232 (talk) 04:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
