This article deals with the notion of “neutrality” within the context of Wikipedia. One of the "five pillar" guidance principles for editors on the website is named the "Neutral point of view", reflecting the website’s aspiration to present a trustworthy information devoid of any ideological bias - a principle calling for balance in cases of diverging or conflicting opinions. The article first analyzes the definition of the neutrality principle in Wikipedia in order to confront it with linguistic postulates and up-to-date discourse analysis theories. It then presents a critical analysis of a fragment of the entry “Lehi” in French in order to examine the conformity between the entry’s phrasing and the rules on neutrality established by Wikipedia. The discrepancy between the two raises a question concerning the actual meaning of the concept of “neutrality” when it is used by contributors to qualify entries as such. French Wikipedia has a definition of an entry as “quality article”, which means it is inter alia estimated as “neutral”. An analysis of the discussion between the editors shows that in the process leading to the label “quality article”, the values of conviviality and cooperation between the contributors outweigh the duty of impartiality and non-bias writing. |
