To me, the most important aspect of NPOV has nothing
to do with being "fair". It has to do with removing your own personal opinion
and accepting that of the experts on the topic, thus satisfying verifiability, even if it
goes against what you prefer or previously believed.
Given that Britannica is both an easy target here and not NPOV according to your original
research, do you have a paradigm for NPOV other than yourself and Wiki?
s/experts/previously notable/
Calling someone an expert requires a difficult value judgement. We
don't find experts we find notable sources.. who are usually notable
because they are experts or because they are very much not experts. ;)
Importantly, we don't present their views as fact.. we attribute them.
(unless, of course, were presenting widely agreed on info.. in which
case, we optimise out part of the buffering language)
