:[[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia's]] policy on NPOV is connected to its policy on [[Verifiable|verifiablity]]. This usually requires third-party published sources. That would eliminate most of this wiki.

:I sorta agree with you, but it is easier said than done. I tried to post some "facts" in the [[RationalWiki]] article. My way of doing that is to quote sources and say who claimed what. Some problems with this are that it looks tacky, often sounds suspicious, and can be very repetitive when everything is something someone claims. More on that [http://Lumeniki.Referata.com/wiki/WikiIndex_(unwritten)_policies#Verifiability here]. (Another scuffle broke out [[Talk:RationalWiki#Edit wars|over an ambiguous statement]]. This is where "[[assume good faith]]" comes in.) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 17:26, 7 October 2009 (EDT) | :I sorta agree with you, but it is easier said than done.

:Dilley does seem to agree with "neutralizing" any comments that are added, by rewriting them. This would be better than altering quotes, in my view (another small "conflict" recently).

:One way of changing an unsourced claim a to "fact", is to put the editor's name on it. It is like using a "[[Template:Fact|citation needed]]" tag. But that looks weird and may reveal conflict, which seems to make many people uncomfortable.
