Editing EPOV

The '''EPOV''' is more than just a [[USPOV]] or [[UKPOV]].  It is more basic then either, and harder to notice.  It should be resisted in [[Recyclopedia]].

It means variously "English [[point of view]]" or "Empire [[point of view]]".  Basically leftover assumptions from [[British Empire]] and postwar American English speaking culture that have managed to turn whole fields into more or less useless ciphers for authority that have no real reference to the [[human body]] or to [[ecology]] or anything else that Empires find quite inconvenient or rude.  This is particular difficult/unfair to [[Simple English Users]] who are not brought up, or "brainwashed" in this culture.

The treatment of [[economics]], [[philosophy]] and [[psychiatry]] in [[Simple English]] really must be quite different than in [[Full English]], and in [[Recyclopedia]] different from [[Wikipedia]], for this reason if no other.  

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EPOV for the [[Full English Wikipedia]]'s view of its own [[systemic bias]].  This is not as critical as it could be, which is normal, since no one who speaks English as a first language will really be fully aware of EPOV.  Translators in particular would be much more aware of it.

Also, see major discussions on http://meta.wikipedia.org such as http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/linguistic_democracy_in_a_multilingual_project - and, see debates around economics, [[ethics]], [[politics]], philosophy, psychiatry as conducted in other languages.  It is often remarkable how different they are.

A major advantage of [[Recyclopedia]] is also being able to draw on articles from [[Consumerium]], [[Metaweb]], [[Disinfopedia]], or other projects that might have less EPOV problems, and may provide an alternative to Imperial views.
