Electowiki:Policy: Difference between revisions

Removed 2005 caveat on EPOV, and fixed typo. I still plan to say something on Electowiki_talk:Policy#EPOV about it, though.

Electowiki has a policy somewhat similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view Wikipedia's NPOV policy]. However, due to the subjective nature of the topics at hand, it's hard to have a strict NPOV policy without becoming a clone of Wikipedia. Thus, the policy regarding point-of-view is one of "EPOV".
 
Line 19 ⟶ 16:
* '''Latitude to editorialize on other positions''' - while acknowledging opposing points of view exist, we also reserve the right to comment on those positions in ways which may not be so flattering
* '''Controversial points of view should be vetted on election-methods list''' - if there's a dispute over editorial policy, take it up on the [[election-methods mailing list]].
* '''Meta-View''' - A common metmeta-view, largely shared within this wiki, is that the currently practiced electoral systems in many countries are woefully inadequate expressions of democracy.
 
Real-world voting reform advocacy and organizational work are also welcome, though we [[Electowiki:The_caucus#Advocacy.2FPropaganda_development.3F|don't yet have a policy for how to organize it]]. We may want to add a bias template to advocacy articles in the mainspace, for example. As for your own userspace, anything is fair game, as long as it's election-related.
