Wikipedia aims to <b>describe disputes, but not engage in them.</b> The aim is to inform, not influence. Editors, while naturally having their own <a href="/wiki/Point_of_view_(philosophy)" title="Point of view (philosophy)">points of view</a>, should strive in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DGF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DGF">good faith</a> to provide complete information and not to promote one particular point of view over another. As such, the neutral point of view does not mean the exclusion of certain points of view; rather, it means including all verifiable points of view which have sufficient due <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Due_and_undue_weight">weight</a>. Observe the following principles to help achieve the level of neutrality that is appropriate for an encyclopedia: </p> <ul><li><b>Avoid stating <a href="/wiki/Opinion" title="Opinion">opinions</a> as <a href="/wiki/Fact" title="Fact">facts</a>.</b> Usually, articles will contain information about the significant <a href="/wiki/Point_of_view_(philosophy)" title="Point of view (philosophy)">opinions</a> that have been expressed about their subjects. However, these opinions should not be stated in Wikipedia's voice. Rather, they should be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:INTEXT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:INTEXT">attributed in the text to particular sources</a>, or where justified, described as widespread views, etc. For example, an article should not state that <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-removed, #8B0000);"><a href="/wiki/Genocide" title="Genocide">genocide</a> is an evil action</span> but may state that <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);">genocide has been described by John So-and-so as the epitome of human evil</span>.</li> <li><b>Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts.</b> 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.</li> <li><b>Avoid stating facts as opinions.</b> Uncontested and uncontroversial factual assertions made by reliable sources should normally be directly stated in Wikipedia's voice, for example <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);">the sky is blue</span> not <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-removed, #8B0000);">[name of source] believes <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SKYBLUE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SKYBLUE">the sky is blue</a></span>. Unless a topic specifically deals with a disagreement over otherwise uncontested information, there is no need for specific attribution for the assertion, although it is helpful to add a reference link to the source in support of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verifiability</a>. Further, the passage should not be worded in any way that makes it appear to be contested.</li> <li><b>Prefer nonjudgmental language.</b> A neutral point of view neither sympathizes with nor disparages its subject (or what reliable sources say about the subject), although this must sometimes be balanced against clarity.

Generally, the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all, except perhaps in a "<i>see also</i>" to an article about those specific views. For example, the article on the <a href="/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a> does not directly mention modern support for the <a href="/wiki/Flat_Earth" title="Flat Earth">flat Earth</a> concept, the view of a distinct (and minuscule) minority; to do so would give <i>undue weight</i> to it. </p><p>Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to the depth of detail, the quantity of text, prominence of placement, the juxtaposition of statements, and the use of imagery. In articles specifically relating to a minority viewpoint, such views may receive more attention and space. However, these pages should still appropriately reference the majority viewpoint wherever relevant and must not represent content strictly from the minority view's perspective. Specifically, it should always be clear which parts of the text describe the minority view. In addition, the majority view should be explained sufficiently to let the reader understand how the minority view differs from it, and controversies regarding aspects of the minority view should be clearly identified and explained. How much detail is required depends on the subject. For instance, articles on historical views such as flat Earth, with few or no modern proponents, may briefly state the modern position and then discuss the history of the idea in great detail, neutrally presenting the history of a now-discredited belief. Other minority views may require a much more extensive description of the majority view to avoid misleading the reader. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Fringe_theories" title="Wikipedia:Fringe theories">fringe theories guideline</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/FAQ" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/FAQ">NPOV FAQ</a>. </p><p>Wikipedia should not present a dispute as if a view held by a small minority is as significant as the majority view. Views held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views (such as the flat Earth). Giving undue weight to the view of a significant minority or including that of a tiny minority might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute. Wikipedia aims to present competing views <i>in proportion to their representation in reliable sources</i> on the subject.

If you need help finding high-quality sources, ask other editors on the <a href="/wiki/Help:Talk_pages" title="Help:Talk pages">talk page</a> of the article you are working on, or ask at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk" title="Wikipedia:Reference desk">the reference desk</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Bias_in_sources" data-mw-thread-id="h-Bias_in_sources-Selecting_sources"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Bias_in_sources-Selecting_sources"></span>Bias in sources<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Bias_in_sources-Selecting_sources"></span></h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:ALLOWEDBIAS"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:ALLOWEDBIAS&redirect=no">WP:ALLOWEDBIAS</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Biased_or_opinionated_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">Wikipedia:Reliable sources § Biased or opinionated sources</a></div> <p>A common argument in a dispute about reliable sources is that one source is biased, meaning another source should be given preference. Some editors argue that biased sources should not be used because they introduce improper POV to an article. However, biased sources are not inherently disallowed based on bias alone, although other aspects of the source may make it invalid. A neutral point of view should be achieved by balancing the bias in sources based on the weight of the opinion in reliable sources and not by excluding sources that do not conform to the editor's point of view.

Wikipedia articles on history and religion draw from religion's sacred texts as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Primary" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Primary">primary sources</a> and modern archaeological, historical, and scientific works as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Secondary" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Secondary">secondary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Tertiary" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Tertiary">tertiary</a> sources. </p><p>Some adherents of a religion might object to a critical historical treatment of their own faith because in their view such analysis discriminates against their religious beliefs. Their point of view can be mentioned if it can be documented by relevant, reliable sources, yet note there is no contradiction. NPOV policy means Wikipedia editors ought to try to write sentences like this: "Certain Frisbeetarianists (such as the Rev. Goodcatch) believe This and That and consider those to have been tenets of Frisbeetarianism from its earliest days. Certain sects who call themselves <i>Ultimate Frisbeetarianists</i>—influenced by the findings of modern historians and archaeologists (such as Dr. Investigate's textual analysis and Prof. Iconoclast's carbon-dating work)—still believe This, but no longer believe That, and instead believe Something Else." </p><p>Several words that have very specific meanings in studies of religion have different meanings in less formal contexts, e.g., <i><a href="/wiki/Fundamentalism" title="Fundamentalism">fundamentalism</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Mythology" class="mw-redirect" title="Mythology">mythology</a></i>, and (as in the prior paragraph) <i>critical</i>. Wikipedia articles about religious topics should take care to use these words only in their formal senses to avoid causing unnecessary offence or misleading the reader. Conversely, editors should not avoid using terminology that has been established by the majority of the current reliable and relevant sources on a topic out of sympathy for a particular point of view or concern that readers may confuse the formal and informal meanings.

Although neutral terms are generally preferable, name choice must be balanced against clarity. Thus, if a name is widely used in reliable sources (particularly those written in English) and is therefore likely to be well recognized by readers, it may be used even though some could regard it as biased. For example, the widely used names "<a href="/wiki/Boston_Massacre" title="Boston Massacre">Boston Massacre</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Teapot_Dome_scandal" title="Teapot Dome scandal">Teapot Dome scandal</a>", and "<a href="/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper" title="Jack the Ripper">Jack the Ripper</a>" are legitimate ways of referring to the subjects in question despite appearing to pass judgment. The best name to use for a topic may depend on the context in which it is mentioned. It may be appropriate to mention alternative names and the controversies over their use, particularly when the topic in question is itself the main topic being discussed. </p><p>This advice especially applies to article titles. Although multiple terms may be in common usage, a single name should be chosen as the article title, in line with the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles" title="Wikipedia:Article titles">article titling policy</a> (and relevant guidelines such as on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)" title="Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)">geographical names</a>). </p><p>Article titles that combine alternative names are discouraged. For example, names such as "Derry/Londonderry", "Aluminium/Aluminum", and "Flat Earth (Round Earth)" should not be used. Instead, alternative names should be given their due prominence within the article itself, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect" title="Wikipedia:Redirect">redirects</a> created as appropriate. </p><p>Some article titles are descriptive rather than being an actual name. Descriptive titles should be worded neutrally, so as not to suggest a viewpoint <i>for</i> or <i>against</i> a topic, or to confine the content of the article to views on a particular side of an issue (for example, an article titled "Criticisms of X" might be better renamed "Societal views on X"). Neutral titles encourage multiple viewpoints and responsible article writing. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Impartial_tone" data-mw-thread-id="h-Impartial_tone-How_to_write_neutrally"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Impartial_tone-How_to_write_neutrally"></span>Impartial tone<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Impartial_tone-How_to_write_neutrally"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:IMPARTIAL"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:IMPARTIAL&redirect=no">WP:IMPARTIAL</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Information_style_and_tone" title="Wikipedia:Writing better articles">Wikipedia:Writing better articles § Information style and tone</a></div> <p>Wikipedia <i>describes</i> disputes, but does not <i>engage</i> in them.

This is out of place in an encyclopedia. Aesthetic opinions are diverse and subjective—we might not all agree about who the world's greatest soprano is. However, it is appropriate to note how an artist or a work has been received by prominent experts, critics, and the general public. For instance, the article on Shakespeare should note that he is widely considered one of the greatest authors in the English language by both scholars and the general public. It should not, however, state that Shakespeare is the greatest author in the English language. More generally, it is sometimes permissible to note a subject's reputation when that reputation is widespread and potentially informative or of interest to readers. Articles on creative works should provide an overview of their common interpretations, preferably with citations to experts holding those interpretations. Verifiable public and scholarly critiques provide a useful context for works of art. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Attributing_and_specifying_biased_statements" data-mw-thread-id="h-Attributing_and_specifying_biased_statements-How_to_write_neutrally"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Attributing_and_specifying_biased_statements-How_to_write_neutrally"></span>Attributing and specifying biased statements<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Attributing_and_specifying_biased_statements-How_to_write_neutrally"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:SUBSTANTIATE"></span><span id="WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcuts</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:SUBSTANTIATE&redirect=no">WP:SUBSTANTIATE</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:ATTRIBUTEPOV&redirect=no">WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style">Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Point of view</a></div> <p>Biased statements of opinion can be presented only with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:INTEXT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:INTEXT">in-text attribution</a>.
