This is a draft, and at best gives Coppertwig's opinions about NPOV; I may change it later.
The phrase neutral point of view (NPOV) can have various meanings. One is the meaning it has in the NPOV policy, which, to avoid ambiguity, I refer to here as Wikipedia voice NPOV (WV-NPOV). Another meaning is the neutral point of view taken by a mediator or other person who is recusing themself from forming or expressing a personal opinion on a matter; I'll call this Abstention NPOV (A-NPOV). A third type of neutral point of view which I will call Compromise NPOV (C-NPOV) means taking a position on a content dispute or other Wikipedian matter which is intermediate between the positions of two or more other points of view being expressed in a discussion.
