I noticed an interesting juxtaposition above. Star
Wars Kid, and the
glaring lack of the real name, was brought up. Charles stated above
that NPOV is not negotiable. I would hope, then, that he is entirely
for including the name in this article. The absolute overwhelming
majority of reliable sources reporting on the Star Wars Kid incident
used his real name. By failing to follow that lead, we are pushing a
POV, that POV being "They were wrong to publish that." Pushing a POV
by silence or removal is no more acceptable than pushing it by what we
do write.
Well, I wonder about that (I know nothing about the specific matter,
which is a long war from anything I edit on). An omission is "pushing a
POV", and about other media? There is a tremendous amount of
constructive interpretation behind that. As well as some debatable
grammar. Editors "push a POV", articles "fail to be neutral" (third
person singular, not first person plural).
