[edit] Your userpage statement
I came across your userpage after you left a note on mine. You have a statement on your userpage which I wanted to take issue with:
"Please don't use Wikipedia to espouse your point of view."
I agree with you 100% on that.
"If you feel strongly about a person or issue, you should probably not contribute to it's article."
That strikes me as a blanket damning of the contributions of many users. It depends entirely on the individual contributor. Its true that some people with strong views on a subject are "POV Warriors" who's main goal is to inject as much of their own bias into an article as they can get away with. However, there are also many people who have strong views on a topic, but nevertheless take the idea of NPOV seriously and attempt to make balanced contributions. In fact, many people who are most informed about a particular topic often are people who happen to have strong opinions on that topic. Part of assuming good faith is to not automatically treat anybody who you suspect has an opinion on a topic as falling into the "POV Warrior" category. Iamcuriousblue 17:14, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
