NPOV (Neutral Point of View)
See also NPOV

What is NPOV? It is a foundational concept of Wikipedia. If you edit articles, you will hear about NPOV. Fundamentally, it is the belief that all articles on Wikipedia must maintain a neutral point of view. They must represent all sides of an issue in a proportional manner, and present information without the burden of judgment. This is, of course, easier to say than do - but it is a non-negotiable position of the project.
