| − | ==NPOV==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here are the most commonly violated principles of neutral editing at Wikipedia:
| |
| − | * It is inappropriate to remove blocks of well-referenced information which is germane to the subject from articles on the grounds that the information advances a point of view. Wikipedia's NPOV policy contemplates inclusion of all significant points of view.
| |
| − | * Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view (NPOV) policy contemplates inclusion of all significant points of view regarding any subject on which there is division of opinion.
| |
| − | * Wikipedia articles should contain information regarding the subject of the article; they are not a platform for advocacy regarding one or another point of view regarding the topic. Sweeping generalizations which label the subject of an article as one thing or another are inappropriate and not a substitute for adequate research regarding details of actual positions and actions which can speak for themselves.
| |
| − | *Injection of personal viewpoints regarding the subject of an article is inappropriate and not to be resolved by debate among the editors of an article, but referenced from reputable outside resources. See [[Wikipedia:No original research]] and [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]].
| |
| − | *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a soapbox|Wikipedia is not a soapbox]] or a vehicle for [[propaganda]] advocacy or [[advertising]].
| |
| − | *A strong point of view expressed elsewhere on a subject does not necessarily mean POV-pushing editing on Wikipedia; that can only be determined by the edits to Wikipedia.
| |
| − | * Unexplained deletions of portions of controversial articles are unacceptable.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I am on probation at Wikipedia for trying to point out some of these problems and just might get my account blocked! :-)

| |
| − | Q: Is this your personal blog, or what?!
| |
| − | | |
| − | A: No, but it just so happens that nearly every word I type, link I create, article or template I start - gains instant and widespread acceptance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Q: Isn't that a bit arrogant?
| |
| − | | |
| − | A: Okay, I guess you're right. Perhaps I should be more humble.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Explanations==
| |
| − | | |
| − | There was a time when Wikipedia was a [[meritocracy]], and I rose rapidly through the ranks then. I got Jimbo to create the Mediation and Arbitration committee's, so he wouldn't have to be the sheriff all the time. I became the first elected bureaucrat, and pioneered the system whereby admins could enforce rules without having to take everything before a committee.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But I didn't see the [[anti-elitism]] creeping up and choking the life out of the place. [[Larry Sanger]] was right.
| |
| − | | |
| − | My only worry about Conservapedia is that it '''might''' make the equal and opposite mistake; it has certainly been accused of it, hundreds of times. But senior staff have been amazingly tolerant of opposing ideas here so far and I reason to hope they will continue to do so.
