Neutrality is all about presenting competing versions of what the facts are. It doesn't matter at all how convinced you are that your facts are the facts. If a significant number of other interested parties disagrees with you, the neutrality policy dictates that the discussion be recast as a fair presentation of the dispute between the parties. --Larry Sanger
First, and most importantly, consider what it means to say that unbiased writing presents conflicting views without asserting them. Unbiased writing does not present only the most popular view; it does not assert the most popular view is correct after presenting all views; it does not assert that some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one. Presenting all points of view says, more or less, that p-ists believe that p, and q-ists believe that q, and that's where the debate stands at present. --What is the Neutral point of view?
Wikipedia's enormous potential is currently being suppressed by the surprising number of users and administrators who are incapable of and/or have no intention of abiding by the Wikipedia policy of adhering to a neutral point of view, as it is articulated in the above quotations. In fact, in some articles, like Human and Guru, it is quite doubtful that points of view other than that of physicalism will ever be fairly treated. The success that these (ab)users have had in infiltrating the Wikipedia bureaucracy seems to indicate that this problem will never be resolved. To these people, wikipedia is not about the dissemination and interaction of ideas. Instead, it is about gaining, maintaining, and exercising power over other people.
I and other users have therefore initiated the The Integral Wiki (http://integralwiki.net), which, unlike Wikipedia, is equipped to truly implement neutral point of view.

notes to self:
DaoTao.png
-
Disambiguate Stuart Davis the painter from Stuart Davis the musician -
The Involution entry lacks any account of cosmic, philosophical, integral or ontological involution, although an Aurobindan account has been relegated to the Talk page - The Ken Wilber article lacks a section on "Transcend and include"; be sure to refer to sublation.
- Also, a section on Wilber's taxonomic approach to consciousness would be nice.
-
Also, a section on Boomeritis, or "Aperspectival Madness" - Basic moral intuition
- Add verbiage on flatland, holonic span, agency vs. communion, The big three (the True, the Good, and the Beautiful), and Aurobindo to Sex, Ecology, Spirituality
- expand reference to SES in Vision-logic
- Add Wilberian verbiage to: Eros, Agape, Thanatos, Phobos, Plenitude, Many, Absolute
- The article on Meta-philosophy is dominated by Mortimer Adler verbiage.
- There are no entries on Prehension, Manifestation, Gross realm, Subtle realm, Causal realm, Neo-advaita, One taste, Ramesh Balsekar, Mechanistic paradigm, Narrow science, Irvin Laszlo, Allan Combs, The Self-organizing Universe,
-
Add a paragraph in the "Ideas" section in the Ken Wilber article on "the pre/trans fallacy". - The entry on Integral politics is poor.
- The Mark Helprin article lacks an account of his biographical adventures
