POV Tag

I'm doing POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 18:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I have put back the POV tag. The reason is that the text, instead of describing the concept, tells us what to do. Improving this and that about the article; but I haven't yet found good resources to actually replace the existing text.

And if the reason of the POV tag is clear once you read the text I don't think that much discussion should be necessary. Evren Güldoğan (talk) 22:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:15, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

I've redirected an article here

I've redirected Ecological deficit here, as the name of that article appears to be a synonym of that one. Before I redirected it, that page was in pretty bad shape. However, it did carry a definition of the term in its opening sentence: Ecological Deficit is the level of resource consumption and waste discharge by a population in excess of locally sustainable natural production and assimilative capacity. After some editing, I think that could very well become the lead sentence of this article, as at press time, this article had an awful, non-descriptive lead sentence.
