[edit] Neutrality
I have added the NPOV tag because advantages and disadvantages should not be made sections. It is okay to recount sourced criticisms or proponents of technology but adding it to the header is taking a view about what is good rather than remaining neutral. gren グレン 02:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] regarding user Ahunt request for references about X Window
I think user Ahunt should read the X Window and copy_paste articles. Any Linux distro, including live CDs that don't need any hard disk install, allows you to verify by yourself the X Window features. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Touisiau (talk • contribs) 12:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please read the policy at Wikipedia:Verifiability - "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—meaning, in this context, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed."
- All material added needs to be referenced. Verifying something for yourself by testing it is called Original Research and is not acceptable in Wikipedia articles.
