What is POV?[edit]

Since January 2008, this article has had a tag asking for citations for verification. I tried to make it halfway decent, but it gets reverted by User:Anthony Appleyard who has asked "Which parts are POV?". Without cites from independent sources, the following claims are POV/advertisement/unsubstantiated -

"purpose-built reservoir"
in 1957 the MOD "had abandoned the fort"
"an important national commercial diving school"
"got into difficulties"
"severe disagreements among its management"
"had a world-wide reputation"
"owners obtained a court order for possession and changed the locks and evicted the remaining diving etc firms trading there"
"Greg Dyke...... owned Fort Bovisand and had plans to set up a new business there" (no mention of this in his own article)

etc. The article had a lot of irrelevant fluff too, which I have removed.

Info/dates regarding the guns need cites too. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 21:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
