[edit] Augusto Pinochet

Hi Mtad, glad you decided to create an account. The preferred way to mark an article that you believe not to be written from a neutral point of view is {{NPOV}}:

The neutrality of this article is disputed.
Please see discussion on the talk page .

The {{disputed}} tag is more for articles which are suspected to contain factual inaccuracies rather than POV inaccuracies (read the articles on NPOV and accuracy for more detail on the distinction; also, I suggest you look at the list of pages with the disputed tag). I think this is why Cantus has been reverting your edits.

I noticed on Talk:Augusto Pinochet that you mentioned that you think the article is missing a lot of information. I suggest that if you want to contribute, the best way to start out is to add some of that information. Adding to Wikipedia is less controversial than removing from it, and in particular, a new editor removing large blocks of text from a well-established article doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

Read some of SqueakBox's links from above, contribute to some articles, and be bold. Eliot 14:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Too biased

Mtad, I think that if you find Wikipedia to be "too biased", you need to examine whether what you think of as bias is actually facts and truth. No Catholics or Opus Dei members were barred from contributing to those articles. Everyone is welcomed to edit. The only people who seem bothered by this are the ones who think that people who don't agree with them _should_ be silenced. (I assume that's what you meant in your comment about being sued, eh?)

We'll still be here if you decide to grow up. Your contributions are welcome. Eliot 15:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
