::You don't get it. The idea is that ''we'', Wikipedia, have to be completely neutral in how we refer to our subjects. However, our sources do not have to be neutral. If they were, it would be difficult to write an article on anything polemical. The important thing is that we ourselves must be neutral; therefore, for instance, it is not neutral to cite sources for only one side of the issue and ignore the other side(s).

== Pseudoscience and NPOV ==
The article on [[pseudoscience]] states: ''The term "pseudoscience" generally has negative connotations because it asserts that things so labeled are inaccurately or deceptively described as science.'' If a term 'generally has negative connotations', can using it for categorization purposes be NPOV? Is there a suitable term that would be politically correct in terms of WP NPOV policy?
