In opening paragraph: "Although the murals more often than not represent one side's political point of view, they are renowned for their professional nature and the notable level of skill of the artists creating them."
Why should the fact that they represent 'one side's political point of view' suggest that they wouldn't be 'renowned for their professional nature...skill'? I could see that their political support for violent acts would mean that they might not be 'renowned...', but representing 'one side's political view' in no way decreases their renown.
Suggest change to: The murals more often than not represent one side's political point of view. They are renowned for their professional nature and the notable level of skill of the artists creating them."
[edit] NPOV
A fair bit of this article only seemed to tell one side of the story. I also noticed the majority of the murals seem to be loyalist victimist murals. I'm going to assume good faith here, maybe it's just chance that it's like that, but I guess this article could use a bit of a clean up.
- I don't see a problem with the text, but there are more loyalist murals than republican yes. I originally added 8, split between the two. 4 more loyalist ones have been added since. I'll see if I can even it up. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

- I added four more murals, but only one of them was particularly "victimist". Two others were political statements. All three of these were loyalist. The last one was non-political. I don't think its POV to display what already exists necessarily, though I for one certainly wouldn't object if there were more republican murals (of whatever type) added if there is somehow a feeling of 'unbalance'.. --Mal 17:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
