Talk:Bureau of Land Management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] PR language
This article incorporates text from the BLM website, and it shows. Parts of this article seem very PR-ish, such as this whole paragraph:
- Perhaps one of the Bureau's greatest challenges today is to develop more effective land management practices, while becoming more efficient at the same time. The BLM has taken significant steps to reduce administrative costs, streamline work processes, focus on customer service, and improve accountability to the American people.
This effectively says, in forward-looking-go-get-em-optimistic marketing style, that the BLM does its job. Well, one would hope so. Also, while the beautiful images are nice, I don't think they add as much to the article as, say, a map of BLM-held land would. -- Scott eiπ 10:15, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well it's our best source of info. And if it's not NPOV at least it's not attacking anyone. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 04:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- That doesn't mean we have to adopt their wording. Besides, there are those out there who beleive that the BLM should not exist, and its lands should be realeased to private owners. They might consider a glowing article to be "attacking" them. I would also like to point out that the article at present is much more neutral then it was back in December. -- Scott eiπ 19:45, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
