Hi,

As the discussion goes on, I subscribed.

I accept what people said about these articles. If people want this kind of 
articles, so let it be.

But as I do make advertising for Wikipedia to friends and others, I worry 
about the reputation of the site.

Maybe I misexpress myself. I don't mean to make a court case to someone 
writing articles.

The problem is how you define what is NPOV? On this, I agree with Julien that 
the border is the Declaration of Human Rights and, when it is not clear 
enough, law forbiding racism.
That it may be French or from somewhere else doesn't matter. Most European 
countries do have some law about racism. So there IS some consensus among 
quite a lot of countries about what is racism and what is not, and this 
consensus can be seen in the law.

And then it may be to prevent the author of an article running into troubles 
with on of these laws.

Yann
