[edit] NPOV tag

I'm not the editor who placed the tag originally, but I'm going to replace it. With language like "Everyone who has any affiliation with Mankon can benefit from the resolute goodwill on which this association is premised. MACUDA is a group to feel right with" in the article, I don't think that seeing the POV problems is difficult. janejellyroll 02:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Another example: "During the German colonial years, the Mankon people were noted for their bravery and resistance to Dr. Eugen Zintgraff, a German colonialist and explorer. Zintgraff waged several tactical wars against Mankon and lost many companions to the hands of the spear and matchet-toting warriors who bravely faced Zintgraf's soldiers and the people of Bali armed with guns and canons before capitulation." Language like this should be sourced, edited to ensure NPOV, or removed. janejellyroll 02:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The MACUDA information has been removed except for a link at the end of the article. The information was clearly POV, perhaps even spam. The information is retained in the article's edit history, and can be reintroduced with proper rewording. As for the information on the German colonial years, it has simply been rewritten. If no-one objects within a week, I'll remove the NPOV tag. Cheers. – Liveste 23:20, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
