The Wikimedia Foundation takes this opportunity to
reiterate some core
principles related to our shared vision, mission, and values. One of
these values which is common to all our projects is a commitment to
maintaining a neutral point of view.
I find it a bit strange to talk of Wikimedia Commons as having a NPOV
policy.
Should commons allow images which are biased?
Can an image be biased out of context? It is the usage of the images
that may or may not be biased, the images themselves are inherently
neutral. A recruitment poster used for recruitment is biased, a
recruitment poster used to illustrate that recruitment in an
historical context is not.
