Neutrality disputed edit

This article (version 412866934) presents a very slanted, one-sided view of this issue. Private salvors have been the impetus behind most of the discovery and recovery of underwater cultural artifacts; UNESCO is entitled to their beliefs on that, but the article itself presents itself as though the only valid vantage is that of UNESCO (which makes no distinction between private salvage and "looting) which lots and lots and lots of people would disagree with.

This article is fully correct. It appears that 'LoverofArt' would wish to state that he prefers 'private salvage' of artefacts from archaeological sites to their archaeological research. It is evident that UNESCO opposes such private exploitation of archaeological sites. This issue is however unrelated to the facts stated about the UNESCO 2001 Convention in the article and does not touch the veracity of the text. Please remove the dispute sign.

It is clearly said that this is a UNESCO convention. In consequence, the convention reflects the UNESCO point of view, therefore the neutrality of this article can not be contested. Every piece of information is correct. Please remove the dispute sign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.242.192.9 (talk) 07:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
