[Wikimedia-l] : WMF resolution on neutral point of view

[Asaf Bartov]

I'd say "be bold" and start drafting.  Many people respond to a flawed (or
at least improvable) text more readily than they do to an open invitation
to contribute.

I, for one, share your perception that NPOV is a problem on some (perhaps
most) Wikipedias, and think it'd be a good idea to bolster NPOV with a
Board resolution.  Not because it would instantly solve the problem, of
course, but I see its value in supporting those editors who'd fight to
uphold NPOV.
