His organization supposedly had a boycott of Ford over Ford Motor Corporations ads in gay and gay-related magazines as well as Ford's willingness to extend equal benefits to same-sex couples once employed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.156.242.39 ( talk • contribs) 10:57, December 6, 2005
I removed unsourced, potentially libelous information that Wildmon was outed by a homosexual prostitute per Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons. There was no citation for it, and I could find no information about in on the internet. Everyguy ( talk) 05:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
If there had been such an incident, it would have been fully documented. Therefore it is right to assume that it never happened.
Personally, I can't stand this guy, so I can sympathize with the writer(s) of this article. But that's not what Wikipedia is supposed to be about. The current article seems fairly biased against him. I'm frankly surprised that the article hasn't had a more contentious history, but perhaps Wildmon's followers are not adept at editing Wikipedia.
In any case, Wildmon is fairly important among the Christian right, and runs a rather large activist mailing list, and there's a lot of indication his boycotts and petitions on companies like Ford and ABC, etc. have some effect. His themes have been consistent, too -- he's something of a modern Bowdler or Comstock -- very concerned with "potty mouth" media and any mainstream commercial expressions that even slightly push the envelope of sexual expression. His other main obsession is homosexuality -- since he believes this is a choice not a biological predilection, he sees gay activists as activists pushing a willfully perverse "lifestyle." He runs several websites and newsletters. I mention all of this as unsourced background material. I'm hoping the article will be taken on by both supporters and detractors in the hope of getting a better rounded picture of the man. He is important, and (even though I dislike his agenda very much) "deserves" a fuller entry in Wikipedia. StrangeAttractor ( talk) 03:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
The External Link (About Donald Wildmon) is to a right wing christian website and is incredibly biased. If not removed, it should at least be changed to make it clear this is not about him in a neutral sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.65.223 ( talk) 16:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
It seems ironic to produce a page biased against the man and then criticize another website for being biased in his favor.

I found numerous sources, including some already in this article that state Wildmon was born in Dumas, Mississippi. I cannot view the source cited that states he was born in Ripley...can anyone shed more light on this? — Jacona ( talk) 15:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
