If you want to make a distinction between alternative medicine and quackery would you object if I moved [[homeopathy]] to the quackery category?
I would.
Me too. That's a really hard-to-defend category except for proven frauds.
I may well be mistaken. I'm not a native English speaker and often miss fine distinctions in meaning. Perhaps "quackery" has more negative connotations than I was aware of. What I mean by "quack medicine" is simply "treatments falsely presented as having curative powers". If the term has more negative connotations than that it may well be inappropriate for a Wikipedia category.
I still think that "Alternative medicine" is misleading, has undeserved positive connotations and does not represent a NPOV.
I still think the Quackery category and the Alternative medicine category should be merged. If Quackery is an unacceptable term then I suggest "Ineffective medicine". We can debate the inclusion of each item there on its merits.
I would also be happy with Category:Pseudomedicine.
