POV?
[edit]The article was tagged for POV. What is the rationale? —Ynhockey (Talk) 08:49, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- Some of the language in the article is promotional, for example:
- Shalev had risen to the summit of Israel's military leadership
- working unceasingly at Elazar's side during the critical days
- advanced the development of core theory and practice for cultivating Israeli military leadership.
- He also served on the boards of a wide range of Israeli museums and cultural institutions. Within these capacities, Shalev was instrumental in the formulation and implementation of national policy regarding culture and the arts, and for advancing Israel's ties in these areas with other nations around the world.[vague]
- founding of significant and groundbreaking cultural entities
- Five years after he took the helm of the institution, Shalev accepted on its behalf the coveted Israel Prize, for Special Service to Society and Country. In 2007, he once again received a nation's supreme honor, this time Spain's Prince of Asturias Prize for Concord

- @Catriona: Thanks for clarifying, and adding a more specific tag, which is much more helpful—the POV tag is usually used for other types of issues. These are actually easy points to fix, even without knowing the subject, please consider fixing such issues in other articles you tag (have a look at WP:DRIVEBY for appropriate tagging practices).
