Wikipedia:POV check
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The POV check template, {{POV-check}}, may be added to an article which you feel may need to be edited to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Add the template at the top of the article, and then explain your reasons on the talk page of the article that needs checking (not the talk pages of the template or this article).
The POV check template is not for disputes. It is intended for:
- Articles which you have edited to be neutral, but may have overlooked something
- Articles which you suspect are not neutral, but are unsure how to proceed
For situations where you or other editors disagree on NPOV status, or need to reach consensus on neutrality, instead use the neutrality dispute template, {{POV}}, and explain the reasons on the talk page.
In order to ensure the POV check template cannot be used to brand articles as non-neutral without a justification, it may be removed by anyone if they feel that the issue has been resolved. Please do not edit war over the use of this template. Instead, if you disagree with its removal, place the full neutrality dispute template on the page, explain your reasons on the talk page, and follow the regular NPOV dispute resolution process.
Pages that include any of {{POV-check}}, {{POV-check-section}}, or the deprecated {{bias}} templates are automatically listed under Cat:Articles which may be biased.
