WP minority positions:

  • Using Public Domain sources without exact quotations is plagiarism.
  • Point of view forks are the clearest way of handling some topics.
  • Web sources, even blogs, can be used as Reliable sources for determining notability. The world has changed since WP started.

(Relatively) absolutist position in any context:

  • Freedom of speech.


Biases (not usually obvious here, I hope):

  • Marxist, Atheist, Jewish, Academic, Internationalist
