== When to use ==
Place this template on an article when you have identified a serious issue of balance and the lack of a [[WP:Neutral point of view]], and you wish to attract editors with different viewpoints to the article. Please also explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag, identifying specific issues that are actionable within LIMSwiki's content policies.

An unbalanced or non-neutral article is one that does not fairly represent the balance of perspectives of high-quality, reliable [[secondary sources]]. A balanced article presents mainstream views as being mainstream, and minority views as being minority views. The personal views of LIMSwiki editors or the public are irrelevant.

=== When to remove ===
This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. You may remove this template whenever any one of the following is true:

# There is consensus on the talkpage that the issue has been resolved.
# It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given.
# In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

== How to use ==

Place {{Tlx|POV|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} at the top of the disputed article, then explain your reasons on the article's [[WP:TP|talk page]]. To specify the section of the talk page, use {{Tlx|POV|2=talk{{=}}''talk page section name''|3=date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. If the date is not included it will likely be added later by a [[WP:BOT|bot]].

This template will categorize tagged articles in [[:Category:NPOV disputes]] or a dated subcategory thereof.

This template should only be used in the main (article) namespace. Do not place this template on talk pages, user pages, [[WP:PG|policies and guidelines]], or other pages.

* This template is a self-reference. Please do not [[LIMSWiki:Substitution|subst:]] this template.

== Redirects ==

#{{Tl|bias}}

== Alternatives ==

To mark only a section as disputed, rather than a whole article, use {{Tl|POV section}}. See below for a list of other similar templates.

For suspected POV issues which are not disputed, consider the {{Tl|POV check}} template instead.

For issues relating to article balance due to insufficient coverage of the subject rather than editorial bias, use {{Tl|Cleanup weighted}}
