A cup of tea for you!
[edit]Here's a cup of tea for you to pass around. Sorry, fresh out of milk, so it'll have to be rooibos tea.

Bigotry on Wikipedia
[edit]The tea is so you can deal with things like... people reverting your NPOV edits and then telling you you're "edit warring" if you dare offend their bias...
- Could I perhaps share some quotes from this page with you...
- "Achieving what the Wikipedia community understands as neutrality means carefully and critically analyzing a variety of reliable sources and then attempting to convey to the reader the information contained in them fairly"
- "Wikipedia aims to describe disputes, but not engage in them. The aim is to inform, not influence. Editors, while naturally having their own points of view, should strive in good faith to provide complete information and not to promote one particular point of view over another."
- "Avoid stating opinions as facts."
- "If different reliable sources make conflicting assertions about a matter, treat these assertions as opinions rather than facts, and do not present them as direct statements."
- "try to rewrite the passage or section to achieve a more neutral tone."
- "Remove material when you have a good reason to believe it misinforms or misleads readers in ways that cannot be addressed by rewriting the passage."
- In light of that, if you see "left-wing" or "right-wing" removed, please ask yourself if reverting it will escalate or de-escalate bias on Wikipedia, and whether your action is in line with our stated policies and the community we want.
- Note that WP:N does not mean we have to give equal weight to every side. Nor do we strive to "offend equally".
The only real problem with Wikipedia is people with more time than sense, perhaps..? Still, I'd rather have it, than have nothing.
