POV Template

This whole article is written with a tone of indignation and contains bias. I don't know enough about the subject to update it, but someone should. Exercisephys (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm afraid that is your personal opinion; sans evidence, there is nothing actionable. As a result, I will remove the tag if you can't provide any other details. I know the subject and I am familiar with the large body of citations supporting it, and I'm willing to remove any glaring POV. Viriditas (talk) 23:39, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

This is a news item not an Encyclopedia topic

You might as well make a page on every incident and activity going on in society and in the news.

I wasn't aware you were put in charge of defining what is and what is not an encyclopedia topic. Why would anyone here have to do anything other than write about the topic? Put down the bong, please. Viriditas (talk) 03:58, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
