I edit articles I'm interested in. That interest has a reason: it varies from subject to subject. For example this article: "Louisiana barrier island plan" is a debunking operation. If it weren't so ridiculous that setting forth the facts about it is hardly believable I wouldn't have bothered to write it. How does one express the point of view of a state playing in the sand? Another article I did most of, "Fort Robinson tragedy", clearly shows an agenda to recite a tragic tale. Not NPOV at all. Nothing there about the only good Indian is a dead Indian.
