Neutral Point of View

edit

One of Wikipedia's fundamental policies is to present topics from a neutral point of view. This means articles must represent each outside view fairly and proportionally, but not present any single view as true. Your edits to the Joe Paterno talk page appear to violate this principle and indicate that you would like to introduce bias to the article. Thank you. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:36, 2 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
