The question was about a list which should exist somewhere (at Meta). BTW, probably I missed that some Wikipedia was shut down because of violating NPOV. Which Wikipedias were shut down because of NPOV violation? As well as I know for many community supported NPOV violations through various Wikipedias. As I don't want to point to the projects, here is the list of possible excuses for NPOV violation: * Something is ugly. * Something is not according to some moral norms. * Too many references (~20 references for two pages text; page deleted). * Various ethnicist and nationalist reasons with well or not so well rationalizations. Note that I am not talking about some edit war, but about a dominant opinion of not so small number of communities. And those are just dominant and generic excuses. A lot of others are well rationalized excuses used by many communities and defined (or not) inside of the policies. Sometimes the policy is a problem, but in much more cases systematic policy interpretation is a problem. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
