This is a list of previously controversial issues. Articles listed here may need more work to approach a Neutral Point of View than is usual. See Wikipedia:Guidelines for controversial articles.
Articles on this list should be checked from time to time to monitor developments in the presentation of the issues. Discussions about those controversies should be limited to the relevant Talk pages.
For articles that are currently unbalanced, see NPOV dispute. This page is conceived as a location for articles that regularly become biased and need to be fixed, or articles that were once the subject of an NPOV dispute and are likely to suffer future disputes. Use the "related changes" link to quickly review changes to these articles.
