Regarding Jimbo's QUESTION:
This is the disputed text:
- * More women than men suffer from [[anorexia]] and [[bulimia]]
- * More women than men suffer from [[borderline personality
disorder|borderline]], [[histrionic personality disorder]] and
[[hysteria]]
Are these things not true? Why should they be omitted from the
article, if true?
----
I have composed a little poem to help as remember one of the ways disputed text can be
made to conform to Jimbo's neutral-point-of-view policy:
Wherever there's dispute,
We've got to attribute!

Thus, edit the two passages above as follows.
* According to Dr. Effie Nymist, more women than men suffer from [[anorexia]] and
[[bulimia]] (source: Annals of statistical medicine, 23:456 June 1997)
* Dr. Mael Fraud of the San Francisco Street People's Clinic observed in his 1997-2001
study of drug addicts and street people that more women than men suffer from [[borderline
personality disorder|borderline]], [[histrionic personality disorder]] and [[hysteria]].
Dr. Fraud wrote in Psychology Today, December 2002, that his findings can be generalized
to the American public with a 0.0003% chance of certainty.
Okay, maybe the second example is a bit far-fetched, but the idea is to attribute each POV
to its adherent. Thus, the Wikipedia itself will not be seen as endorsing that POV but as
remaining neutral on the issue.
