Is this [1] revision NPOV or not? Proponents and opponents of contesting don't seem to agree. (same discussion as on Contesting)

Again, a partisan viewpoint that does not address the weight and serious of the complaints against contesters. Yet again this is in breach of the impartiality required by Wiki as it is written by contesters who want to present a particular viewpoint that supports, condones and maintains their stance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.51.214 (talk) 07:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
