[WikiEN-l] murder versus kill

[Poor, Edmund W]

Zero is right:

> The purpose of a news report should be to inform the reader 
> what happened. That's all.  

Thus:

* A sixteen-year-old Gaza resident was killed by militants during an
argument over the placement of heavy weapons in front of the boy's
residence. (this is straight news)

* His sister, Raza Wayah, said, "I hate those Fatah murderers! They
slaughtered poor Ali like an innocent lamb!!" (point of view)

Note that the second sentence meets the requirements of the NPOV policy,
because it attributes a point of view to its source. Raza Wayah is the
one who called the killing 'murder' and 'slaughter' -- not the
Wikipedia.

Would someone please add this example to the [[Wikipedia:NPOV
tutorial]]?

Furtively,

Uncle Ed
