Editing Encyclopedia:NPOV dispute (section)

== How can neutrality be achieved? ==
Talking with other contributors is a great way to find out why there is a dispute over an article's neutrality. Ideas and POVs can be shared and ultimately the disputed fact or point can be fixed if it is incorrect or, when dealing with a controversial issue, various legitimate sources can be cited in the article.

Historians commonly cite many sources in books because there are and will always be disputes over history. Contributors on Wikipedia can do the same thing, thus giving readers a broad spectrum of POVs and opinions.

Additionally, there are several steps one can take to resolve an NPOV dispute:

*Please remember to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]]
*[[WP:CIV|Politely]] point out the perceived problem either on the article's [[WP:TALK|talk page]] or the [[WP:USERPAGE|user's talk page]]
*Consider filing a [[WP:RfC|request for comment]]
*Get a [[Wikipedia:Third_opinion|third opinion]]
*File a report at [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard|NPOV noticeboard]]
*File a report at [[Wikipedia:BLP/Noticeboard|Biographies of Living persons noticeboard]] (if the article features information about living people)
*File a report at [[Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard|fringe theories noticeboard]] (if the article covers or features fringe theories)
*Other options available to resolve such situations explained at [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]].
