An update has been posted in a parallel thread. However, we need to know
that we might be aware of the Wikipedia issues but the 'common man' is
relatively ignorant. Irrespective of whether this man is taking sense, this
petition has garnered 4000 signatures and evidently those supporters too
are oblivious of how to edit Wikipedia. This increases our responsibility.
Just bear that in mind.
Pseudoscience is not about whether it works or not, it is about a
scientific approach to gathering evidences which may or may not suggest
that 'it works'. Homeopathy lacks such a scientific approach. The
supporters of this petition are therefore likely to be unaware of the
scientific approach. Like on Wikipedia, the onus of change lies on us.

The so-called petition is a nonsense. The so-called
discussion "raised"
around this subject is pointless. Read the Wikipedia politics. Period.

I am not the petitioner. The petitioner is not present in is group and
therefore cannot read the discussions here. The petitioner possibly does
not even know how to read or participate in discussions related to pages or
topics. It is futile to discuss among ourselves. Would somebody like to
reach out to the petitioner with the information contained in this
discussion thread?

Ha ha. The issue is not having a petition to
force anyone to do anything,
but presenting our views on Wikipedia to counter the views of homeopathy’s
critics. It is an open source of debate. If you have an issue about the law
of gravity you are welcome to compose an article on it and post it to
Wikipedia. I am sure there is someone who has posted an article about
Flat-earthers already, either for or against. All ideas are welcome – it is
an encyclopedia written for the people by the people, and hopefully written
by people who know what they are talking about on their particular subject.
All views are welcome, provided that they are cited from reliable and
authentic published sources. So those who want to challenge what they
consider the wrong views of those who have posted their persona (or
official) views denigrating Homeopathy are now required to simply log in to
Wikipedia and present their refutation of those wrong views, based on
irrefutable citations from published sources. That’s all you need to do, so
just get on with it instead of mumbling amongst yourselves about how unfair
it is and organising a petition to an authority that does not exist.
