DC Database talk:Neutral Point of View

Rewrite
Proposed rewrite:

"The Neutral Point of View is a philosophy that can be best described as reporting data objectively without bias so that the reader can make an impartial decision of their own based on the facts presented.

For controversial topics and obscure cases, there are often more versions of the story. This could pertain to a character's name, religion, addresses, birthday, hair color and/or costume. Later information does not always cancel out the earlier version; there is a difference between a retcon, having no knowledge of the earlier version, and just making a mistake. Since characters, especially the bigger ones, have dozens of different writers, it's inevitable they sometimes give conflicting information. In such cases, we list all versions (or rather, all versions we've found so far), for historical perspective and neutral point of view. The only exception to this policy is for Statistics, as the template only allows for one value. "

Ayes and nays please. -- Tupka 217 08:51, March 10, 2014 (UTC)
