https://Upload.Wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Rename_icon.svg/48px-Rename_icon.svg.png   It is requested that this Category:NPOV article, template, or category be renamed to Neutral point of view; because acronyms are geeky, plain English is better. Please discuss.

"NPOV" is the acronym for the phrase "neutral point of view".
The phrase "neutral point of view" is simply a weird way of saying "having neutral wording in controversial matters".
The phrase "neutral point of view" was coined by the evangelical christian Larry Sanger in early 2001,
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,
via its claim that it has a so-called "neutral point of view",
but that claim is in fact highly spurious,
with parts of Wikipedia reading like an insane Orwellian propaganda rag.
That spurious policy serves to deceive casual outside-observers,
so that they might donate to Wikipedia under that spurious pretense.
The fact that that action is being perpetrated via the medium of the internet
makes that action constitute wire fraud.

The wikis that are listed below likewise claim to comply with this policy,
but whether or not they actually do so is up to each individual reader to judge for themself.
