The problem really is that making a policy here

a decision about which is correct, yet we can't, because to do so
would be to break our principle of neutrality (though not NPOV, which
is related but different).
In short, we're stuffed.
Oh, I dunno. I understand there's a technical solution^Wworkaround on
offer ...
Yes, it's a great workaround... until people say "but this article
displays BC[E] when users aren't signed in. THAT'S AN ABUSE OF NPOV."
Neat as this technical workaround is, it's nowhere close to a solution
and indeed will not be.
Try geolocation on the basis of source IP, and select CE north of the
Mason-Dixon line, and AD below?
