Today I was interviewed for a radio show, Open Source, which debuts May 30. The topic was Wikipedia. I’m on Pilot 3, which would be… Wednesday June 2? I have no idea! My main schtick is summarized here, but it’s nothing new to anyone who follows me. I am always up-front that my life work is about providing information you can trust. Wikipedia is a fun project for its users, but the reality is the only reality is multiple reality. The only neutral point of view is as many points of view as are available.

Hi,
I am a Wikipeidan; I heard your bit on Open Source. The thing that confuses me is that you present yourself as being opposed to Wikipedia and our “Neutral Point of View”, but “[t]he only neutral point of view is as many points of view as are available” is a very good summary of our (perhaps poorly-named) NPOV policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NPOV).
Do you think that we don’t live up to our stated policy or do you disagree with the policy?
