this article is way too positive. it needs a npov. hardly one bad thing was mentioned, such as the recent layoffs.
Dear Lord. Mr. Ford may well be an extraordinary individual, but the article reads like an hagiography (or more to the point, a press release). There are far more subtle ways to convey the positive estimation of an individual, without sounding so asslickingly sycophantic. The article, as it stands, is an embarrassment and -- IMHO -- needs a complete rewrite. And T-dot, with respect, the latter portion of your post sounds like an attempt to intimidate.
This bio is totally ridiculous, "then bust me down to private" give me a break. I will give him credit in trying to protect the family business and legacy, but reading this bio makes him sound like some hero. The bottom line is Ford is in serious trouble and if I were a vegas odds maker I would say it is 10 to 1 that Ford will file for bankruptcy in the next 24 months. So let's not sugar coat these bios please. I lot of pain is happening at Ford, massive layoffs, huge junk debt loads, and product that is simply not selling well in North America. I believe Ford would be more effective bringing in a third party manager and stay on as Chairman. Either way this bio will be rewritten once the outcome of Ford is definitive, and I doubt it will be as rosy.
A banner at the top of the article says that it is outdated and that there is more information about this available about this claim on the talk page. I can't see anything related to it being outdated on talk. Is the banner still valid, or should it be removed? If it is outdated then do people have a view about what changes are needed? Thanks.
