POV template

I have added a POV template to the article, because it is clearly written from the perspective of the settlers. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I added it again. This article needs to be rewritten from an outside perspective. --Apoc2400 (talk) 13:21, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
And I have added it yet again after another removal. The whole article is written from the settlers' point of view and all of the sources used are Israeli, so the article doesn't conform to policy on neutral point of view. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:59, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
The article is supported by reputable sources. The main source is anti-settler. If you feel that any perspective is left out, you are welcome to remedy it by adding to the article. --Jonund (talk) 15:42, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
The section title "Windows scandal" for example is not neutral. The template is both for discussion and to warn readers. --Apoc2400 (talk) 16:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
There is a sectional template if the section is the only problem. You've yet to state anything to allow others to work with, which is the main problem with the "reader's beware!" tag. Jaakobou 17:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

(outdenting) The problem is not just one section. It is that the point of view of over 99% of the residents of Hebron is not represented in the article. The only points of view represented are those of the settlers and of Israeli officialdom. What was the reaction of the local Palestinian population to this settlement? What have the Hebron council and Palestinian Authority had to say about it? The article is based on 15 Israeli sources and one Australian - what about Palestinian and other Arab sources? Have they really written nothing about this? These are all questions that the article leaves unanswered, and without answering them it can't be considered balanced. And please don't tell me that the answer is to remedy it myself - I don't know the answers to these questions and don't read either Arabic or Hebrew so don't have access to the sources that I would need to find out. I am replacing the POV tag because without any Palestinian perspective the article can't be said to present a neutral point of view. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:56, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
