Example Sentences

  • "Near-synonyms: point-of-viewlessness; eticness"
  • "The NPOV is self-consciously a view, not the absence of all views."
  • "Similarly, it is also important to understand the fundamental operation of NPOV in full detail: contrary to the synthesis commonly required for the coverage of topics in conventional encyclopedias, NPOV does not require the establishment of a universally accepted consensus description of the topic at hand—a kind of graveyard peace between opposing factions, achieved through arrival at a compromise which satisfies no one and omits any controversial points not acceptable to one of the participants."
