You mean how do we have homeopathy under control?
Our coverage of homeopathy is fairly balanced. The articles in question are typically watched by lots of people including QuackGuru. I am not concerned especially.
I am not speaking as a board member in any capacity, I am speaking as a Wikipedian.

Hi James,
How have “we got that under control”? Do you speak as a board member or as a member of WP:MED?
Cheers,
Peter

IMO we there are more serious issues we need to deal with such as covert marketing on Wikipedia by the heads of marketing at pharmaceutical and device manufacturers.

With respect to these sorts of petitions by homoeopathy, we got that under control.

Is there an appropriate official response, and if so, who could it come from?

Although I had highlighted the issue to you all, I myself am aware of how to edit Wikipedia and the norms relating to the same. However, the petitioner is possibly unaware of how Wikipedia works. I just thought perhaps somebody would like to send an 'official' response.

There is no need for any petition. Just go into “edit” and re-write Wikipedia as you wish, quoting and citing reliable and authentic published sources to substantiate your case. Then people can investigate and make up their own minds. If your argument is good, they will agree with your presentation.
