Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are. — User:Ian.thomson

Medical topics: Jimmy Wales response

No, you have to be kidding me. Every single person who signed this petition needs to go back to check their premises and think harder about what it means to be honest, factual, truthful.

Wikipedia’s policies around this kind of thing are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals – that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.What we won’t do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of “true scientific discourse. It isn’t.

Nicely done. Wales is essentially saying, we have standards. Deal with it.^[2]^[3]
