User:LacedWithSilver

LacedWithSilver is a horse and she's currently a gray mare who is turning white. She has malignant melanoma, which is common in gray horses, so common in fact that the disease in horses is studied as a model for human infliction. Most horses with malignant melanoma do not die of the disease, although the disease course can be as quick and deadly as it is in humans.

Silver (the person, not the horse, the horse can't read) became interested in editing Wikipedia pages after reading Wikinomics and learing about how a few of the people here do the bulk of the work. As a scientist, Silver can contribute, and knows when he's reading good science and when its clearly junk science, and when information can be improved or bias removed.

Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources. All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view. NPOV is a fundamental principle of Wikipedia and of other Wikimedia projects. This policy is non-negotiable and all editors and articles must follow it.

"Neutral point of view" is one of Wikipedia's three core content policies. The other two are "Verifiability" and "No original research". These three core policies jointly determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in Wikipedia articles. Because these policies work in harmony, they should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should try to familiarize themselves with all three. The principles upon which this policy is based cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, or by editors' consensus.
