This article seems to list facts and figures taken directly from Voith's corporate website. As for the neutrality of the article, it is difficult to judge one way or the other. On a good faith basis, because the information is from Voith's corporate website - there should be no false or misleading advertising, I'm assuming the article content is factual, there seems nothing controversial. I propose removing the neutrality tag and replacing it with one that asks for references.Surfing bird 06:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

The sheer listing of the facts and figures in the text was the initial impetus to check the article's neutrality and so I acted upon this and tagged the article appropriately. At the time I guessed it was taken from some corporate source, but I didn't search and compare it to any website. Anyway, if it is taken from a website, the article might have copyright issues, too. Also, the corporate sources usually have some advertisement on their behalf, so at least the biased tone is expected. To cut things short, I don't mind removing the "bias" template, but then all the claims like "Voith Paper is a leading supplier in the international paper industry ..." and "In 1911, Voith built the fastest and widest machine... " should be revised and tagged with {{fact}} [citation needed] templates accordingly or removed. Much work to do, so it seems. All the best. --Biblbroks's talk 20:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
