Who keeps editing this article? It is biased far too much towards their benefit. It's like I'm reading a promotional advertisement.

I too noticed that it's veered towards blatant advertising. Must be fixed. piksi (talk) 08:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the tone, a lot of the text looks like it's probably taken from AmeriCares' own press materials, which makes me question its copyright status in addition to any POV concerns. 98.110.168.52 (talk) 18:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of it was (is) taken right out of there website. Put the copyviolation tag on it. AfD was speedily closed, was thinking of relisting but quick google news search seems to indicate the organization is indeed notable. So it's a matter of rewrite.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 16:16, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't fix the promotion problems.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 23:39, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For balance you could discuss Americares' relationship with the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.40.24.4 (talk) 12:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
