	Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To write from a neutral point of view, one presents controversial views without asserting them; to do that, it generally suffices to present competing views in a way that is more or less acceptable to their adherents, and also to attribute the views to their adherents.
		We said that the neutral point of view is not, contrary to the seeming implication of the phrase, some actual point of view that is "neutral" or "intermediate" among the different positions.
		Is this contrary to the neutral point of view?

		Buddhism and Taoism idealize the approach to such a point of view, but admit it is hard or impossible to achieve, and definitely impossible to reliably communicate to a human being.
		Alfred Korcybski in his General Semantics theory pointed out that the verb "to be" hides a great many divergences in point of view, and that the terms becomes, remains and equals were far more exact and placed one more exactly in a temporal frame.

	Neutrality dispute - Consumerium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To those who believe in neutral point of view, a neutrality dispute is an assertion that the point of view of some article is not appropriate for its purpose, and reflects some editorial bias.
		At that point w: may point somewhere else, or be replaced by another prefix like n: to mean most reliable neutral point of view.
		The actual end user is not interested in a balance of a lot of other people's views or values, it's their own they want reliably expressed in that signal, so the segmenting by faction and tendency seems to be the only way to make that decision.

	Wikipedia:NPOV dispute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An NPOV (neutral, unbiased) article is an article that has been written without showing a stand on the issue at hand.
		In a neutral representation, the differing points of view are presented as such, not as facts.
		Everyone can agree that marking an article as having an NPOV dispute is a temporary measure, and should be followed up by actual contributions to the article in order to put it in such a state that people agree that it is neutral.

	Meatball Wiki: NeutralPointOfView
		The neutral point of view is considered by many as the fairest form of writing because it requires the elimination of the biases that naturally occur in writing; after all, all the authors are human with their own opinions and filters.
		Not only should all points of view be explored to a degree that no one would disagree with, but it may be necessary to include reasonable descriptions of opposing viewpoints.
		Of course the view is not necessarily neutral, it is consensual.

		Ethnicity, being largely developed by a divergence in geography, language, culture, and similarly, point of view, has the potential to be countered by a common source of information.
		Most views within the free society are freely expressed, and the mass media tends to reflect the spectrum of opinion, with some accountability.
		Those who expressed points of view further to the left were generally ignored, whereas those who expressed moderate or conservative points of view were actively denigrated or labled as a minority point of view.

		Editions are not bound to the content of other language editions, and are only held to global policies such as "neutral point of view".
		The policy states that views should be given weight equal to their standing.
		The "no original research" policy states that such material cannot be properly attributed under neutral point of view, and that editors' own novel ideas or perspectives are not to be introduced.

		However, establishing a consensus on what views should be thus attributed can require much heated discussion and debate, and at any rate the attribution never extends to every single statement within an article.

		Adopting a morally neutral point of view may enable each to see the importance the others attach to their own values, and it may thus help everyone involved to agree on the question of whose values should take precedence in the situation before them.

	Point of view
		In literature, the point of view, or viewpoint (see perspective for the more general and visual sense of this term), is the related experience of the narrator - not that of the author.
		There is first-person, second-person, and third-person point of view.
		That is, the author has inserted what is overtly their own view, rather than citing authorities or evidence.

		It is a warlike view of what knowledge is - which is appropriate, as knowledge is power and that tempts to go to war for the spoils of ruling.
		Similar to the view of hardcore proponents of soft security, use of hard security is permitted when all other avenues are exhausted, but this is considered a semi-shameful failure on part of the person forced to wield it.
		Their philosophy allows individuals to be nasty to each other (because there cannot exist any neutral arbiter who could stop them), but attempts to prevent "the community" from taking sides (because this might lead to groupthink).

	Limitations of Wiki News' Neutral Point of View Policy \| Echo Chamber Project
		Wales said that the NPOV policy works best as a means to get a lot of people to collaborate and synthesize news from other primary news sources, but that it would be probably difficult for WikiNews to do much original reporting.
		The NPOV philosophy seems to work well for historic topics where there is time for long deliberations over controversial issues, but coming to a quick consensus of neutrality in day-to-day news coverage could potentially water down the news.
		In this context, being "neutral" means giving equal weight to all points of view even when the facts could clearly show that one side is completely wrong.

	Cornelius: Point: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		My initial thought was that, with Point, Cornelius had made an album not of songs but of machines: twittering little trinkets and gewgaws, clockwork formalist tricks, hooks, and grooves, tiny snazzy robots covered with push-buttons and blinking lights.
		Point isn't really as like that as I thought, but let's pretend-- just for a second-- that it is: you couldn't possibly ask for anyone to do that stuff better than Cornelius does.
		But the thing is that Point, like the IDM records it shares some of its formalist leanings with, gradually reveals itself to contain some song forms that are, without qualification, quite beautiful and expressive, and in completely non-trinkety ways.

	Wikipedia is Open Edited: Shroud of Turin FAQ
		According to advocates of the NPOV policy, the aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view, but rather, to fairly present all views on an issue, attributed to their adherents in a neutral way.

	1. A Point (of View)
		In well-crafted stories, the point may be a little less apparent than the moral of a fairy tale, and it might require some thought, but if the story touched you, chances are you can define some central points or the transformative realizations the author intended.
		The point of this story may be that it is best to please your boss, but you can see also how a specific definition of the project’s intended uses drives your definition of the central premise, which then prescribes all of the editing decisions.
		For most storytellers, couching the story in the first-person point of view, either throughout the story or as a frame around the story, is an invitation to hearing the story in a more personal context.
