Template:Shortcut Neutral point of view (NPOV): Appropedia is supportive of Appropriate Technology and Sustainable Development. As such, Appropedia articles will usually be written from a point of view that is sympathetic to those concepts. Appropedia otherwise encourages a more or less NPOV depending on category. "How to" pages, for example, are usually easy to write from a NPOV. Project pages usually can be written from a NPOV, but may have sections where opinions come into play. Organization pages, and particularly User pages are reasonable places to express opinions. When deviating from a NPOV, it is important that ownership of the point of view is clear. That is usually straightforward on Organization and User pages, but should be explicitly declared in other content.
- Special Lemma: Appropedia is not a site for soap boxing (a truly slippery act). If you think that the current administration should be admonished for their policy on alternative pest control, use Appropedia to describe alternative pest control. Use some other site for dissin' da man.
