Positive Point of View(wiki, wiki, original, Proteus)
Positive Point of View (
PPOV) is used on
GetWiki's information/encyclopedic "primer" pages to present a subject or concept from a the perspective of a proponent, a favourable, affirmative light, but also equally encourages critical perspectives to be presented. Criticism of that same subject or concept can be placed in sections within the same ariticle, or on a separate, well-linked critical, or "against" page. This approach was initiated on
Wikinfo in 2003 as a reaction to
Wikipedia's "Neutral Point of View". As a result, "Sympathetic Point of View" allowed points of view in Wikinfo articles which Wikipedia might have censored, and some it did censor.
PPOV follows this same spirit for GetWiki.
