Is "Accomplishments" the best heading, maybe something more neutral? There could also have been 'setbacks'? --Lukeisham 11:16, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- A while ago, it wasn't my choice of words; someone else came up with those headings. I'm not a big fan of dividing things like "accomplishments" and "setbacks," as they're often just flip sides of the same coin. However, this is more of a technical issue than a neutality one. Unless it's been changed from when I last looked, I think that they're headings for "problems" and "corruption." 172 16:34, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)~

- Why not "Recent History" or "Modern Period" or "Post Cold-War"? It's just that I couldn't find the title "Accomplishments" elsewhere in the histories of other countries? The word has conations of great things being achieved, or the title of a resume and not a history. --Lukeisham 01:39, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- You're right, why not? Again, this wasn't my choice of headings. 172 02:26, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Lukeisham, Better? 172 02:32, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Yes, sorry to hassle you but being a newbie I didn't want to make the call. --Lukeisham 03:51, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- It was no hassle! Instead, thanks for the help. I'd been bothered by those headings for months as well. Too many users on Wiki think that NPOV means a section on "good things" plus a section on "bad things," rather than just scrapping such judgment calls in favor of a balanced, holistic view and providing multiple contexts. If you find more examples of this crude "supporters versus critics say" conception of NPOV (and you probably will, esp. since you're already attuned to spotting it), please feel free to point them out or fix them on your own. 172 09:58, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Hong Kong Media
"the news media from Hong Kong... are usually the only media within the PRC that can report the news." What? NPOV is needed I think. Colipon+(T) 21:05, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality(?) on "China Today"
Section sounded like it came from a PRC pamphlet. Got some subtle hints of bias. Is a neutrality template worth meriting? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.94.71.107 (talk) 05:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC).
