 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Just because an organization serves a noble cause, doesn't mean that our coverage of it should be only positive and ignore any criticism. |
Many charities are notable organizations that deserve to have an Wikipedia article.
Unfortunately, their Wikipedia articles are often plagued with excessive external links, promotional language, and lack of actual relevant information. In fact, WP:COI editing has made some articles read exactly like press releases.
Charities are good, but no matter how good of a cause it supports, their wikipedia articles should still be [[encyclopedic.
