What's troubling me now is that what you say
seems to me
likecontradicting the following pieces in the WP:OR:
* The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.
In what way is this contradictory? It is only contradictory if you
take this to mean "anything that is verifiable should be in Wikipedia"
- and even then it still does not say what article it should be in.
I perceive a contradiction here in an additional notion of some
ill-defined "truthfullness" threshold, which may be freely abused --
and is abused.
And once again, I'm not talking of POVs of some sects or cults.
Okay, let's simplify the issue -- let's talk about whether academic
views, which weren't actually challenged on their factual or
interpretational basis, may be blocked from inclusion on basis of
their unfamiliarity to some of the editors?
