Topic: Maintaining a neutral point of view


  
  News > Round-up > Interesting news > Working on the largest encyclopedia in the world
Wales created an editorial policy of maintaining a neutral point of view (NPOV) as the guiding principle.
point of view attempts to present ideas and facts in such a fashion that both supporters and opponents can agree."
Inspired by this policy, the grassroots project has confronted the same great issues facing modern newsrooms -- sticking to the facts, attributing sources, maintaining balance and applying them uniformly, such as when to use the word 'terrorist', or evaluating what constitutes a cult or a religion.

 US Democratic Party point of view - dKosopedia
The US Democratic Party point of view, abbreviated USDPOV or just DPOV, is a generally progressive view of world affairs and causes of human events, in which the most difficult problems and decisions in human life tend to arise from neurosis, extremes of greed and competition, and ideological rigidity and overbelief in some specific dogmas.
Because the Democrats attract more youth and minorities than Republicans, the DPOV may be more resonant with the new troll point of view than their propaganda.
It may also be closer to a global neutral point of view that considers all non-US viewpoints as well.

 E-Prime   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Its advocates assert that the use of E-Prime leads to a less dogmatic style of writing that reduces the possibility for misunderstanding and conflict.
One might speculate on the usefulness of E-Prime in constructing encyclopaediae concerned with maintaining a neutral point of view.
However, one cannot use E-Prime with C. Ogden's Basic English because Basic has a closed set of verbs that does not include the verbs such as "become", "remain", and "equal" that E-Prime uses to express states of "being".

 Paul Horwich - From a Deflationary Point of View - Reviewed by Jeffrey Ketland, University of Edinburgh - Philosophical ...
Such views aim to deflate more substantial or robust views about truth, such as the correspondence conception, the semantic conception, and various epistemic conceptions (the coherence theory, verificationism, and pragmatism).
In my view, the major problem with any such conceptual-role view of the semantics of theoretical terms is the "Newman Problem", identified by M.H.A. Newman in a 1928 Mind review of Russell's Analysis of Matter (1927), where Russell had presented a structuralist account of knowledge claims.
On this view, the spatio-temporal structure of the universe, represented in our best physical theories as a manifold with a metric, does not involve a special moving NOW; indeed, attempting to add such a feature faces severe problems.

His forecast for a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 14,000 points by 2019 may yet come to pass, but the seeming certainty of it in 1999 perished in 2000 when American corporations simply couldn’t generate the profits and growth to justify their share prices and the Dow fell back to its current level.

 TIME Magazine | Christopher Caldwell: An American View - Jan. 20, 2003
So when Europeans make their impassioned points across the dinner table, Americans tend to doubt they have the will to match their words with actions.
Europeans care more than we do about physical pleasure; they traffic in titillation (to judge from the nightly offerings on television or such bestsellers as The Sexual Life of Catherine M.) and are obsessed with their food (which is, by the way, no longer superior to ours).
And if "heritage," Europe's age-old bragging point, is measured by family traditions and religious values, then Europeans no longer have a lock on it.

If you do so, please only add verifiable information and be especially careful to respect the neutral point of view.
What’s crucial is that the article, if started, should conform to the "non-negotiable" policy of maintaining a Neutral Point of View (NPOV); for that, the authors should stick "as much as possible, to facts that can be verified using third-party sources."
