[QUOTE="HairySmurf, post: 2672756, member: 583820"] Sounds like a pretty good ethos to me. Written in language that does not sway the reader toward any particular competing viewpoint, includes references to all competing viewpoints, and does not favour one viewpoint over another via the quantity or quality of swaying statements or references. The people who decide that are almost entirely volunteers interested in specific topics. There are over 6.7 million pages on Wikipedia written in English. Wikipedia staff only tend get involved with a small minority of pages written about highly controversial matters. Sure, if you want to edit the page about Donald Trump for example you'll run into the paid Wikipedia edit police, but absolutely nothing would stop you writing a balanced page about Dr. Unwin for example.
