You are Wrong

If you are thinking about telling me that I am wrong, you may be correct! - I am frequently wrong and I do make many mistakes, The differentiator and somewhat redeeming factor for you to focus on at this time is: I try very hard to learn from my mistakes. So, thank you!, in advance, for telling me about it! Sometimes I did not fully understand my mistake, so I have to hit my head, again! - The best place to tell me how wrong I am, and to explain to me in as much detail as you could muster, is on the talk page of the place where I am wrong, so that I can look at what you are talking about, at the same time. Sometimes I may seem argumentative, this is for me, and you, to both fully understand what the other is saying and not because I do not value or consider your opinion, more than likely so that I can understand your opinion much better and, so that it can maybe also become my opinion! - See, I am a bit like a salesman, I cannot sell a product, if I do not fully understand it. - Lastly, please accept that I am not evil, I know you are not evil, so give me the benefit of the doubt and let's grow together!

History

POV, and example of history and my POV or your POV, would be that you found a very old citation stating emphatically "that the earth is flat", you can always look for and find a citation to support a POV, but, this does not mean that it is generally accepted POV or that it is WP:NPOV There are often different views about an historic event, imho, if in doubt, reflect both or reflect the view that is the generally accepted academic view and that is supported by acceptable academic research and properly cited papers. Sometimes, what you think you have discovered somewhere on the Internet can be also be explained here: WP:SYN or here WP:NOR also, always check citations and references as per WP:RS.
