World Bank Group POV?

These links:

were added (and this article was started) by single purpose accounts whose edits have all been to promote the World Bank Group. This article was even started by one. We have recently uncovered significant edits promoting this organization (see this WikiProject Spam discussion). In the interest of our neutral point of view policy and conflict of interest guideline I've moved the links here for other editors to consider. In general, a lot of links to one organization or links to only one POV is not considered appropriate. Thanks. -- Siobhan Hansa 20:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think at least the first one of these links Public Private Dialogue is acceptable, since it is not only a World Bank source, but also includes other significant PSD players in a joint effort. --Shenhemu (talk) 09:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speculative contents

I think that the following paragraph (in the 6 March 2018 edition, before the introduction) is purely speculative and should be deleted.

"This trend will only accelerate as the planet’s population in the middle of this century passes 9 billion with nearly 2 billion consumers living in frontier markets of the LDCs. In the coming decades, the private sector -companies and investors- will no longer be partners in global development through corporate sustainability efforts alone, the private sector will shape the global development agenda across a wide range of sectors — food security, health, energy, environment, human rights and governance. This new era of Private Sector-led Development will fundamentally alter the landscape, transforming the roles of donors, development agencies and private companies alike. It has the potential to scale solutions to our greatest development problems — climate change, resource depletion and violent extremism while also creating new markets and investment opportunities." --Alvarosinde (talk) 11:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
