Purpose
The goal of this discussion is to gather ideas on how to change NPoV best to make the wiki an interactive news source while still allowing users to post competing PoV and such in news posts on suburbs and location blocks. Newer additions from editing standard upgrades like the Location Style Guide have significantly changed the use of these affected pages as they've simultaneously made the need for accuracy in reports less prevalent through changes like the User:DangerReport system and interactive danger maps which provide a inherently Neutral point of view information source.
In addition to these changes to the standard homes of NPoV disputes group and event pages have grown away from the standards put in place 4-5 years ago putting in place editing guidelines calling for NPoV header sections and lead in for groups in all but the most extreme cases while event pages have steadily become increasingly PoV, often with one side not even being allowed to be involved in the event page's development before it goes to or gets permanently locked.
While it's understood not all of these issues are likely to be settled over the course of this discussion it is at least worthwhile to try and make the attempt to find a new set of standards for editing guidelines and PoV in these various problem areas. All comments are welcomed and as consensus become clear they will be added to the Project Page so as this can become a fuller accounting of editing expectations throughout the wiki.
