This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 19:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the POV tag again. This article has multiple issues in my opinion and needs a more experienced editor to research and fix it. Some issues I see in the article:

• Non-neutral phrasing in the opening paragraphs ("BAHOHP belives", "BAHOHP" regards", etc.)
• Incorrect citation style in "The Collection" section
• Last paragraph of "Interviews" needs fleshing out and the last sentence could be removed or substantiated with a quote.

I would also like to question the reason for an "Examples" section. This section seems out of balance in both size and specificity with regard to the rest of the article. Brian heim composer (talk) 20:01, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
