[WikiEN-l] Socialist POV

[Sam Spade]

The wikipedia may have a neutrality policy, but it hasn't many teeth,
and some POV's seem alot more equal than others. Two that I have run
up against time and time again are the Socialist POV (socialism has
never been implemented, most socialists define socialism like I do,
etc...) and the Pathological Skeptic POV (Humans are an ape, God is
just one diety among many, most scientists agree w me, etc...) Instead
of the collective editing process minimizing the insistance of these
editors to remove cited facts:

and to make unsubstantiated claims:

majoritocracy and oligarchic admins who shoot from the hip seem to
have the final say, trumping NPOV:

The wikipedia needs to make some changes. Either rewrite NPOV to
reflect those biases welcomed by the project, or find a way to enforce
neutrality which works, i.e. not popularity contests.
