The article, in its original form, presents a viewpoint heavily biased against the RTO industry, as well as some patently incorrect statements. My revision of the article corects these errors. Whomever is constantly reverting to original, the bias of the original article is wholly inappropriate. 71.127.170.30 ( talk) 09:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Which statements are "unsourced"? The information I have presented is in the original sources in the article. You cannot revert based on your preference of the original, biased edition over my equally-sourced edit which provides information from both sides. You seem to believe "vandalism" is defined as "removal of bias I like". 71.127.170.30 ( talk) 19:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I would be more than happy to rewrite and put the sources back in. However, Hu12 (who, through a staggering conflict of interest, is enforcing his own personal viewpoint on the grounds of defending "neutrality"- see my talk page) has prohibited me from making any further edits to the page. I do believe this should be kicked up to higher authority (we'll see if that actually happens). 71.127.170.30 ( talk) 01:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I added a link to the Association of Progressive Rental Organizations, the trade association of the RTO industry. It was then removed by Flowanda, and I forgot I ever added it, so I added it again. Flowanda then removed it again. Anyway, bottom line: Isn’t a link to the industry’s trade association justifiable? Looking at WP:EL, I see nothing prohibiting such a link. I think it would help address the concerns of those who are claiming that the article is biased against the industry. What specific guideline are you claiming it would be in violation of, Flowanda?

After taking a look at this article, I’ve taken a stab at a minor reorganization to bring it closer in line with the manual of style. As my employer has existing clients within the industry that is the subject of this article, no direct edits have been made as of yet. Instead, per conflict of interest guidelines, the suggested update is here in my sandbox. Can others take a look, and provide input on this sandboxed version in order to establish consensus?
