Note to self: Abandoned this edit to this user's Talk page when I realized my edit hadn't actually been reverted! Hi, I'm writing about your reversion of my edit to Bilderberg Group.

I have been lurking on Wikipedia for years and am finally trying my hand at editing. This is my first reversion.

My edit was not because of the point in the article itself, nor do I object to the citation of Granma; the purpose was simply to highlight make readers aware of the difference between an ordinary newspaper, which typically aspires to NPOV, and a state-run paper, which typically does not.

Does Wikipedia already have a policy about how to characterize a newspaper as state-run, or perhaps the policy is to never make such a characterization?

I have read a number of pages without finding anything definative, including:


 * WP:MOS
 * a search of the archives of same for phrases like 'newspaper' (way too many hits) and 'state-run' (too few).
 * Category:Wikipedia content guidelines
 * Category:Wikipedia_Manual_of_Style_(content)
 * Category:Wikipedia_style_guidelines
 * the article on Granma_(newspaper) which verifies my characterization.
 * And now that I've been reverted, I have read your helpful User:Dougweller/reversion.

So I haven't been able to learn if there a consensus on whether or not to characterize a newspaper as state-run If there is, would you mind pointing me to the page; if not, perhaps you can show me where the discussion of that question might be happening?
