Template:POV/doc

When to use
Place this template on an article when you have identified a serious issue of balance and the lack of a CP:Neutral point of view, and you wish to attract editors with different viewpoints to the article. Please also explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag, identifying specific issues that are actionable within CorporisPublica's content policies.

An unbalanced or non-neutral article is one that does not fairly represent the balance of perspectives of high-quality, reliable secondary sources. A balanced article presents mainstream views as being mainstream, and minority views as being minority views. The personal views of CorporisPublica editors or the public are irrelevant.

When to remove
This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:


 * 1) There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * 2) It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * 3) In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

How to use
Place at the top of the disputed article, then explain your reasons on the article's talk page. To specify the section of the talk page, use. If the date is not included it will probably be added later by a CP:BOT.

This template will categorize tagged articles in Category:NPOV disputes or a dated subcategory thereof.

This template should only be used in the main (article) namespace. Do not place this template on talk pages, user pages, policies and guidelines, or other pages.

Alternatives
To mark only a section as disputed, rather than a whole article, use POV-section. See below for a list of other similar templates.

For suspected POV issues which are not disputed, consider the POV-check template instead. See CorporisPublica:NPOV dispute for more info.

For issues relating to article balance due to insufficient coverage of the subject rather than editorial bias, use Cleanup-weighted
