This article merely reflects the "take" that Wikipedia and CZ have toward this subject. I ought to know, because I was the main explicator of the concept for Wikipedia. As such, the concept and the sorts of things that you say about it here, Robert, are actually rather idiosyncratic, though they bear a relationship to what has in other contexts been called "neutrality" (or by some cognate terms).

Robert, I recommend that, if you want to do an article on this subject, you actually take a neutral point of view toward its subject!  ;-) And to do that, you'll probably have to do more research into political/diplomatic neutrality, as well as what legal scholars and philosophers say about impartiality.

"Impartiality" is a closer synonym than "objectivity," in my opinion, but that's just my opinion.

Question: will we have separate articles about each of neutrality, impartiality, objectivity, and bias?

These and many other things need to be thought through carefully. --Larry Sanger 09:42, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
