Creation
I created this template to suggest to new users or ip users that Wikipedia has a NPOV policy. I think this template will be useful to combat subtle vandalism. Any thoughts? JHMM13 (T | C) 17:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Nonsensical template
This template is nonsensical. The problem with their edits was that they were adding POV junk. We don't want them to "be bold"; they were bold before and messed it up. They have not necessarily made any contributions to Wikipedia—they were probably all reverted. Isn't there a better template this could be redirected to? —Centrx→talk &bull; 08:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Too Strong an IF Verbage
The IF verbage of the template comes off as a bit too harsh in my opinion. This is generally a first warning and using words like "which you appear to have violated," should be more neutralized themselves. Maybe saying something like the following would be a little less intimidating:

''Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia on the article example. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for editors, which your edit to example unfortunately does not appear to follow. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you!''

Any other ideas?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Centrx seems to have corrected some of the tone, sounds much better.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
