Recent edits[edit]

There have been a bunch of recent edits, so I think it's a good idea for me to put a few words here, explaining what I did. Another editor (Bob) first made some extensive edits, most of which I like and agree with, particularly for removing some COI-sounding fluff that had been there before. The most substantive changes I have made following that, was to address some POV and balance concerns that I think came from duplicating material from the animal testing page. I've tried to retain the references cited from critics, but to make the page sound less like a prosecutorial attack on the organization. My changes have shortened the page, but I think better material can be added going forward. (I have to add that I think the edits I made are mild compared with what would have happened with comparable issues at the PETA page.) But please ask if there are any questions about the changes I made, and I'll be happy to explain further. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:02, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, good job, Trypto. I got a bit carried away with the animal testing stuff so it did wander from the topic. Way shorter now but more concise and if someone wants to follows the refs, they can. Bob98133 (talk) 22:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Tryptofish (talk) 22:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"ResearchSaves.org" ad campaign[edit]

I see this ad on GSN (not known for taking ethical ads, but ANY ad) at 3 in the morning and went to the website to, whose corporate sponsor is the FBR. A copy of it (the Jenn one) is also on YouTube.

An ad campaign by an advocacy org is not particularly notable since that is what such groups do. Bob98133 (talk) 16:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
