I, for one, share your perception that NPOV is a
problem on some
(perhaps
most) Wikipedias,
asaf, could you please elaborate a little bit what you mean by this?
do you not share the experience that the editors were able to come up
with reasonable and well thought out rules they follow, since
wikipedia exists? and many of the rules were discussed. and most of
them discussed again? isn't this one of the cores which made wikipedia
so successful?
rupert.
For the most part; however, and I speak only of the English Wikipedia,
there are topics where pov prevails due to the skill and power of its
advocates. I suspect much worse things elsewhere.
By the way, I regularly, and deliberately, engage in point of view
writing elsewhere; I know it when I see it.
Ask yourself, where is the article [[processed food]]? If you want an
good education in public relations techniques, try to write one...
