to come in and we came up with a concensus on the status of the comments. The comments are still being added every now and then, because the user is using an anonymous proxy and at this point its difficult to do anything about the guy. One of the editors has assured me that he is documenting the situation however, so I've rested a little easier since then. But you would be familiar with those comments because I noticed by the edit history you removed them one by one, giving a good explanation as to why. Bravo for that, but if I'd have walked in I'd have just gone to the last legitimate revision and hit Edit, then save. That reverts the article, saves time. Multiple reverting and revert wars are technically a bad thing around here, except in the unique case of a

don't know if you're familiar with his radio show, but today he had a comment that said it best. He said whenever they hire someone, part of their orientation is familiarizing the individual with what happens when they tell someone they work for Dave Ramsey, and that person says "Oh, I agree with everything that guy says except..." Which in reference to this article, there is relevence to that.

links had nothing to do with that, though I knew where he was going with it. I found a more valid reference, and added the criticism about how he is often misquoted about the 12% stock market average returns. So perhaps there is a way you can spin this, but I invite you to carefully look over all of Wiki's policies, especially in the area of BLP. As they say, "we have to make it right."

i see the quote i was saying that none of their services (as far as i can see) extend beyond the philly metro area so while they may say they are national their work says something different.

Even if they do provide services to the entire US (and looking at the actual services they provide i can't see evidence that they do) i still think it's not appropriate to the score of wikipedia (which is international).

I know I sure spent hours upon hours pouring over that page, and a lot of other policy pages trying to keep this article clean and defend my edits.

If you haven't been lurking for a while, the Ramsey page has gone through a whole lot of turmoil in the last few months.

When someone makes a change with no explanation, not even the courtesy of an edit summary, and gives no source, is your suggestion that we should just assume that they have personal knowledge so must be right, and let the edit stand? (And, to be frank, 99% of the article really should be deleted.)

I've seen this article before and considered using it, but like the Jacked article it only mentions him by name at the beginning, and then the author goes on about his own views. He doesn't directly accuse Ramsey of using "half-bible-verses" (though he does at times, and usually admits it when he

You're point is valid, but it is not really a criticism. I guess you might call it an error in thinking? There was a similar criticism added related to his love of Mutual Funds, and the guy added a bunch of links that supposedly talked about how mutual funds really weren't that good. Actually his

And that really brings in another point. Dave Ramsey is just not nearly as popular as some of these critics would lead us to believe. By adding some of these comments and assuming they comply with Wiki policy, they are basically saying they are majority held, relevent views. Yet if they were that

First, I explained (and have explained here and elsewhere) why I made the edit; it was therefore not unexplained. Secondly, the issue of a source is irrelevant, as no matter of content is involved. You in fact reverted my edit because you think the page looks prettier your way, thus your edit

Dave Ramsey frequently cites that
Americans carry an average of 8,000 dollar in credit card debt which is technically true but paints a misleading picture of the prevalence of excessive credit card debt in American society. Only 1 in 20 Americans have 8,000$ or more in credit card debt and a
