"Advocacy Articles" Options

[Herschelkrustofsky]

There is a new debate about what might more accurately be described as POV Battleground articles, and it is to be found at Wikipedia:Advocacy articles (T-H-L-K-D). The good news is that they are actually trying to formulate some sort of response to the problem, and among the suggestions are various types of disclaimer labels that warn the reader to expect opinion, not fact. That, IMO, would be a step in the right direction. In other words, abandon the pretense of being an "encyclopedia."

They have a point, it's the same thing as with admin discussions etc where it's inevitable that cliques form, it's the same kind of psychology, the small group of people that edit Wikipedia are NEVER going to be representative of the entire world. The people who feel most strongly about issues follow and edit on those issues, because no one has time or wants to deal with everything.
