Articles on Wikipedia must conform to a neutral point of view, being neutral in both content and in form.Editors have had many successes in dealing with non-neutral content, by verifying facts to confirm that they are supported by reliable sources, ensuring that one viewpoint is not given undue weight and removing (or properly attributing) opinions.
Research shows that Wikipedia is prone to neutrality violations caused by bias from its editors, including systemic bias. [6] [7] A comprehensive study conducted on ten different versions of Wikipedia revealed that disputes among editors predominantly arise on the subject of politics, encompassing politicians, political parties, political movements, and ideologies.
The text of Wikipedia articles should assert facts, but not assert opinions as fact. When a statement is a fact (e.g., information that is accepted as true and about which there is no serious dispute), it should be asserted using Wikipedia's own voice without in-text attribution. Thus we write: "Mars is a planet" or "Plato was a philosopher".
Wikipedia describes disputes, but does not engage in them. A neutral characterization of disputes requires presenting viewpoints with a consistently impartial tone; otherwise, articles end up as partisan commentaries even while presenting all relevant points of view. Even where a topic is presented in terms of facts rather than opinions ...
Attempts to keep an article or its lead balanced and neutral (free of non-neutral opinions) are necessarily based on the subjective opinions and judgment of editors. They are therefore most often an expression of forbidden original research and are usually based on a misunderstanding of NPOV and " due and undue weight ".
Neutrality is distinct (though not exclusive) from apathy, ignorance, indifference, doublethink, equality, [6] agreement, and objectivity. Apathy and indifference each imply a level of carelessness about a subject, though a person exhibiting neutrality may feel bias on a subject but choose not to act on it.
A naive editor might assume that, given one slightly unbalanced paragraph containing only a hot-tempered quote from a proponent of a viewpoint, the right response is to find a suitably bombastic (or calm, depending on the editor's preferences) counterpoint from someone who holds an opposite view, and insert a quotation of similar length from that source into the article.
