Article Clean Up[edit]

I attempted to reorder and rewrite this article a bit to make it more encyclopedic. It was very opinionated, not neutral, and definitely biased towards religious factors. I am not an expert on the matter, so if anyone is a subject matter expert who can add more detail, that would be great. TimonyCrickets (talk) 04:10, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article is definitely in need of some POV checking. Donating to spread your religion is not philanthropy, and your fellow adherents calling you a philanthropist doesn't change that. CEFGD (talk) 03:57, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is terrible and totally unwikiworthy. There used to be a pretty good article here, full of historic fact. What happened? Can we reclaim this somehow? I am an Episcopal priest and have some expertise in Christian religion, but I don't think this is a matter of religion but one of history - as in mutually verifiable facts. There's no call for us to be pressured by any group who simply "believes" history to be different. Crowell's publication of his own orthodoxy is critical to understanding the rise of fundamentalism - the "course" is named "Fundamentals" btw. Rather like Ron Hubbard's "course" in Scientology. Thank you for reading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.113.172.217 (talk) 06:21, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article needs to be reworked, it doesn't read as NPOV to me. Dpeters11 (talk) 18:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good start, but I agree- it's not NPOV. It's clear that religion and evangelism were a big part of his life, but this seems over-represented here. I'd like to know exactly why his marketing was revolutionary (perhaps contrasted with other practices at the time). But, the real reason I read this article was to see if I could find out why he named the company "Quaker oats" -- my interest is even more piqued now that I know he was a Christian :-) Morcheeba (talk) 05:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Businessmen over the years came to know Jesus Christ personally because of the influence of Henry Parsons Crowell". I don't even know what this means.
Mryan (talk) 13:18, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To Mryan: Yes, I was wondering, too. Also the sentence "At the end of the 19th century, steam engines, telegraph and telephone systems, electricity and typewriters were part of the explosion of technology in America.[2]" at the beginning semms to be totally out of context. --207.190.127.186 (talk) 23:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although Mr. Cromwell's philanthropic efforts and Christian lifestyle are well noted within the review...it was under his leadership that use of the "Aunt Jemima" marketing plan was initiated...what were his specific views and discussions surrounding implementation of this trademarked image...especially in view of the names (Jemima) biblical etimologically "rich and positive" origin^[1] --Contributions/72.156.65.5 (talk) 17:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)P Doster[reply]
