In Switzerland the authorities have filed a law suit for fraud against the local headmaster of the CityU, alleging that there were irregularities with the tuition fees and in irregularities in junction with the bankruptcy of the local CityU subsidiary. The facts are quite clear and well documented in reliable sources. But now there seems to be disagreement of how to set the title of the corresponding paragraph.
One opinion is as follows: the central point of that paragraph is to inform on this very issue (the allegations of fraud), so the title should be something like "Allegations of Fraud in Switzerland". When you choose another title like "Activities in Switzerland" then you hide the central information under a non-descriptive title, which makes it more difficult for the reader to find all the relevant content. Wikipedia writes in the explanations to non-judgemental descriptive titles: These titles should reflect a neutral point of view, rather than suggesting any editor's opinions. Avoid judgmental and non-neutral words; for example, allegation implies wrongdoing, and so should be avoided in a descriptive title. (Exception: articles where the topic is an actual accusation of illegality under law, discussed as such by reliable sources even if not yet proven in a court of law. These are accurately described as "allegations".) The latter is exactly the stated case here, so the title "Allegations of Fraud in Switzerland" complies with the neutrality policy of wikipedia and is the most clear indication of what follows in the paragraph.
The other point of view is that one should be more subtly about how to set the title. This opinion regards something like "Allegations of Fraud in Switzerland" as to be judgemental and not neutral. Words such as "allegations" and "fraud" are loaded and should be avoided especially in titles. When one uses these words that would mean such a title would not comply with the neutrality rules of Wikipedia. So one should put the information under a more neutral title like "The Swiss Branch of the CityU". The point that there has allegedly been a fraudulent activity should be stated in a cautious manner in the content of the paragraph.
I'm siding with opinion one and totally disagree with opinion two, but my opinion my be biased because I have written much of the stuff in the mentioned paragraph. So what does the neutrality requirement mean in this case? Saintcyr1 ( talk) 11 July 2012 —Preceding undated comment added 04:37, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
