Claims re single parents

The article currently claims (both in the lead and in the first section): "Today, most American children will spend part of their childhood in a single-parent household." However, the footnote provided doesn't actually provide any evidence for that statement -- it includes it (almost word for word), but offers no statistical data to back it up. As such, I'm tempted to remove it, but given that this is a fairly well-referenced article, thought I'd seek further comment. Gusworld 01:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

This article is in need of a rewrite. There's no introduction, so it's not clear if Responsible Fatherhood applies to a specific organization with formal organization (like Moral Majority) or if it's an umbrella term for various people and movements (like Fathers' rights). Additionally, the article is not WP:NPOV. It focuses on "deadbeat dads" and ignores mothers who actively limit access to children through unequal custody, restraining orders, etc. JCDenton2052 (talk) 11:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe there needs to be a Responsible Motherhood article for that last bit? Xytor500 (talk) 02:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPOV issue: The article reads like an argumentative essay, instead of an informative description. Wikipedia articles should generally be descriptive of events, objects, ideas, etc. and not be advocating positions or assembling "evidence" proposing to support an idea or movement. This article presents claimed statistics intended to support the position of the described movement. This is no more acceptable in this article than it would be (to invoke reduction ad hitlerium) to include arguments in support of the "Final Solution" in an article about National Socialism. Note that I am not arguing that the subject here is morally objectionable, but rather using a visceral example to illustrate why Wikipedia does not present persuasive essays thinly disguised as articles. Encyclopedic is appropriate, polemic is not. woodrobin (talk) 20:30, 14 September 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.201.27.210 (talk) [reply]

Fathers' Rights movement

The term "Fathers' Rights movement" is used as a pejorative term to describe such groups as "Families Need Fathers" who claim that a child's best interests are served by having access to their fathers.Human28 (talk) 02:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:45, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
