No, that's a common misconception; and if it was true, that would rapidly create an empty wikipedia, *everything* written, *ever*, is somebody's point of view. For example, Newton's Principia was Newton's point of view, but we don't remove that from the wiki ;-)
Ian, we're writing an encyclopedia. We're reporting on facts. Something either happened or it didn't. Newton's Principia may have been his point of view, but stating it in an encyclopedia is not.
