Interesting but how do we resolve the POV problem? do we want endless
arguments over whether America influenced the Taliban; George Bush
influenced oil markets; oil influenced Gulf war.... to name a few?
YES!
That's the small enough price of neutrality. No article is sacred, and
that's healthy. People on both sides of these issues are enraged when
they see the blatant POVism of their opponents destroying their own very
neutral views. The control freaks worry me a lot more than the trolls,
because they use a patina of legitimacy to impose their POV.
Resolving "POV problem"s will be an incremental process that may take
years.
The question is what do all these questions have to do with making an
encyclopedia? This is clearly a distinct project
