This article seems to lack objectivity, using adjectives such as "special" and "precious". Suggest that this is changed.

This article has been marked with the advert template because of the use of campaigning language ("to fight the then widespread ignorance,") and content directly from their website.

For example, the tone and much of the phrasing of the article seems to be remarkably similar to the organisation's own content.

Have tried to give some more, non VS-generated, references, and do a bit more to tone down the "advertorial" tone. Hope it's considered sufficient to justify removal of the templates, which I have done. KJP1 (talk) 11:45, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
