Template:POV/doc

When to use
Place this template on an article when you have identified a serious issue of balance and the lack of a WQ:Neutral point of view, and you wish to attract editors with different viewpoints to the article. Please immediately explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag.

An unbalanced or non-neutral article is one that does not fairly represent the balance of perspectives of high-quality reliable sources. A balanced article presents mainstream views as being mainstream, and minority views as being minority views. The personal views of WikiQueer editors are irrelevant.

When to remove
This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:


 * 1) No discussion about neutrality issues was started on this article's talk page.
 * 2) Discussions about neutrality issues have stopped (for more than a few days).
 * 3) The problems in the article have been resolved.
 * 4) All editors involved in the article agree to remove it.

Removing this tag may be tendentious—just like placing it on the article may be tendentious—but it is not an act of vandalism.

Alternatives
To mark only a section as disputed, rather than a whole article, use POV-section. See below for a list of other similar templates.

For suspected POV issues which are not disputed, consider the POV-check template instead. See WikiQueer:NPOV dispute for more info.

For issues relating to article balance due to insufficient coverage of the subject rather than editorial bias, use Cleanup-weighted
