[WikiEN-l] Ethics

Mon Apr 3 08:00:45 UTC 2006

In general, editing language describing a POV one does not share is neither
ethical nor unethical. The main variants are:

Writing for the opposition (i.e. improving, not detracting) - ethical
Writing against the opposition (i.e. detracting) - unethical

I may be wrong, being a 4-month WP newbie, but it seems to me that the
former type of edits are much thinner on the ground than the latter.

(Obviously detracting will always be against Wikipedia's spirit and
policies. Detracting from language describing one's personal POV
is either unethical or stupid.)
