Removal of Unreliable Sources

Looks like a PR page

[edit]

Image looks like a professionally produced studio portrait yet the editor creating the article (and only this article) claims to be the creator of the image and is giving away the rights to the image.

Will edit for an encyclopedic approach to the subject and cut some of the hyperbole and unreferenced statements.Lambiepye (talk) 00:25, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

-Jan 2020- Edited by 3rd party (me) for more reliable sourcing. Restructured to reflect most relevant information first. Hyperbolic language and essay-like style was removed so that only fact-based prose remained. Opposition to his positions, evidence behind rebuttals, and the position of current US federal agencies and community partners were presented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.97.167.69 (talk) 23:12, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV/think tank opinion removed

[edit]

I have removed comments about opposition by National Coalition on Homelessness, the National Low Income Housing Coalition, and the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, because it was referenced to those respective primary sources and Wikipedia is not a soapbox for dissemination opinions of various groups about the article subject just as you don't go to a page about beef and post opinions of vegan advocacy group sourced to the group. It is a differnt matter if such opposition is discussed by a reliable, independent secondary source, a mention maybe appropriate.
