It's the community, not the Foundation, that is trusted with ensuring that individual articles adhere to the NPOV standard. --Mike On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 1:36 AM, David Gerard <[email protected]> wrote: > 2009/3/2 Mike Godwin <[email protected]>: > > > I'm unclear as to how it seems inconsistent to you.
