I'd say that's not serving what the readers want, seeing Wikipedia vs
Wikinfo, where you tried implementing this. Not that Wikinfo is
worthless, but Wikipedia is doing very well as somewhere that
neutrality  is at least attempted. NPOV is not an attainable goal, but
it is a reliable compass to follow.
