User:Bon courage/A POV that draws a source.

A POV that draws a source,
is like a cart that draws a horse.
A horse-drawn carriage is just that; trying to have a carriage-drawn horse is doing it wrong.

Wikipedia's core neutrality policy says that articles shall represent "fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic".

The best way to find these views is carry out a disinterested search to find the WP:BESTSOURCES – the highest-quality reliable sources – and then to summarize them.

Sometimes however, editors will mistakenly start with a "view" and then select sources to support it. Such a selection of sources is unlikely to be the same as the WP:BESTSOURCES, and will tend to lead to an article with a WP:NPOV imbalance.
