NPOV involves determining whether viewpoints are widely held, are held by substantial or significant minorities, or are held by an extremely small or vastly limited minority and therefore not suitable to be covered in articles. This is an editorial decision-making process that all editors perform all the time. Determining which filters to work on is entirely analogous to this process, which is inherently neutral. -- Stephen Bain stephen.b...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
