[WikiEN-l] Resolving content disputes (was: Mother Teresa article)

[Poor, Edmund W]

Grandfather Louis predicted:

-> Provide a fair, effective means of resolving the 
-> content disputes, and >poof<, the cases of disruption 
-> requiring bans become rare.

Here I have been remiss. Erik asked me weeks and WEEKS ago to work with
him on an NPOV tutorial, and I have barely lifted a finger there.

I seem to be better at actually 'neutralizing' an article or 'talking'
to a specific user about NPOV in context. But I'm having trouble
organizing my thoughts for a [[Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial]]. Someone else
kind of took it over, but it looks like a rehash of an 'NPOV definition'
article.

I'd like to see a series of examples modeled on Strunk & White's
"Elements of Style" which show clear rules like Omit Needless Words and
striking examples of omitting them with vigor and boldness.

Other works which are an inspiration to me in this vein include Huff's
"How to Lie with Statistics" -- which, with calculated irony and gobs of
good humor and common sense, shows readers how to *counteract* attempts
by advertisers and politicians to deceive us with statistics.

Sheepishly,

Ed Poor
