[edit] POV Issue

I have cut this paragraph out: "Some evidence put the guilt on Lewis Bernstein Namier for probably unauthorised altering in the British Foreign Ministry of the Curzon line, so that it did not include then the third most important Polish city of Lwów on the Polish side. This fact had great influence on the negotiations about the Polish eastern border on the peace conferences in Teheran and Yalta." as reflects very much an point of view. The word "guilt" implies that Namier did something wrong, and moreover none of the "evidence" for Namier's alleged "crime" is shown. The word this paragraph is phrased implies quite clearly that the city Lwów, which is now the Ukrainian city of Lviv should belong to Poland. In 1918-19, the Poles and the Ukrainians were fighting it for the control of Lwów/Lviv and this pargraph takes the Polish side; in Wikepedia we are supposed to be neutral and not takes sides in territorial disputes.A.S.

Once again, I have removed "He falsified the Curzon line, moving it to the west of Lviv", partly because it is unsourced, and partly it reflects a Polish POV, saying that the city of Lviv should have been included within the Curzon Line, but wasn't. --A.S. Brown (talk) 05:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
