RE: [WikiEN-l] NPOV
by Poor, Edmund W 20 Mar '03

Smart lad: these are all good questions. They cut right to the heart of the matter (I'll let the others take a crack at them first). Lazy Uncle Ed -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Ehrenberg [mailto:name12323@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 5:30 PM To: wikien-l(a)wikipedia.org Subject: [WikiEN-l] NPOV I have a few questions about NPOV: Is it POV to classify something as a pseudoscience (and say that it's definitely not true)? Is it POV to say that communism never works in practice? (or something similar) Is it POV to only list some of the facts (by accident or on purpose) leading someone to believe one point of view? Is it POV to use words that can be '''interperated''' as insulting?

Please see the following articles. I wrote the first three, then renamed the last to conform to my proposed naming convention of [[Slogan:XYZ]]. * [[Slogan:Power to the people]] * [[Slogan:Better dead than Red]] * [[Slogan:Kills Bugs Dead]] * [[Slogan:AIDS Kills Fags Dead]] Uncle Ed

Any last words, before I disable the Susan Mason account, anybody? Susan/Lir/Adam, do you have anything to say to the community?

I like Toby's idea of punctuating the slogan articles with quotes in the article title ("double quotes" floats my boat higher than 'single quotes', if we're gonna do this, because users searching Google are more likely to recognize it as "quoted text" that way). If someone will change the existing 4 article titles... hint, hint Lazy Uncle

What has Susan Mason done that warrants theri account being disabled? I followed bits of the edit war over the Rachel Corrie page (though granted not the whole thing), I thought Susan Mason conducted herself very civilly in the face of the other person who was shouting at her and making all sorts of allegations from a clearly POV position. SM was also POV but seemed to be more able to compromise tahn the other person. Susan mason is certainly less troublesome and making more valuable contributions than say, User:Michael, who seems to have been let off the hook for his transgressions... Or am I missing something? cheers Graham (aka Quercus Robur)

LittleDan's question

He just did ask. C'mon, Steve, be nice to the kid, and answer his question.

That just makes it more difficult to maintain and places some type of onus on our contributors to write and insert them. -- mav
