"NPOV" is the acronym for the phrase "neutral point of view". | |||
<br> The phrase "neutral point of view" is simply a weird way of saying "having neutral wording in controversial matters". | |||
<br> The phrase "neutral point of view" was coined by the evangelical christian Larry Sanger in early 2001, | |||
<br> in the course of setting-up Wikipedia, though he had thought of the phrase at an earlier time. | |||
Wikipedia's controlling establishment portrays Wikipedia as neutral, | |||
<br> via its claim that it has a so-called "neutral point of view", | |||
<br> but that claim is in fact highly spurious, | |||
<br> with parts of Wikipedia reading like an insane Orwellian propaganda rag. | |||
<br> That spurious policy serves to deceive casual outside-observers, | |||
<br> so that they might donate to Wikipedia under that spurious pretense. | |||
<br> The fact that that action is being perpetrated via the medium of the internet | |||
<br> makes that action constitute <i>wire fraud</i>. | |||
The wikis that are listed below likewise claim to comply with this policy, | |||
<br> but whether or not they actually do so is up to each individual reader to judge for themself. | |||
