Line 10:
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".
"EPOV" is "Electowiki Point-of-View" policy. Basically, the
* '''We have a point of view'''. Electowiki tries to be a general resource for experts to get complete information, but makes no promises about neutrality. Other sources, such as Wikipedia, should be used to obtain neutral information.
* '''Err on the side of neutrality''' - while the EPOV will come out from time-to-time, it should be hard to distinguish it from Wikipedia-style NPOV in the vast majority of cases.
Line 21:
Please let us know your opinions of this policy on [[Electowiki talk:Policy|the policy talk page]].
== Editorial board ==
Since it's January 2005 inception, Electowiki has had an ad hoc editorial board, with de facto membership based on momentum. History:
* 2005: [[User:DanKeshet]] and [[User:RobLa]]
* 2006 through 2018: [[User:RobLa]]
* 2019: [[User:Psephomancy]] and [[User:RobLa]]
[[User:RobLa]] would like to formalize this somehow, but as of December 2019, hasn't declared a process for achieving this.
== Why not just use Wikipedia? ==
