Hello everybody!
I think the German Wikipedia is more and more reaching a point, were there are enough people to start discussions about controversial topics. I'm thinking especialy about articles with an esoteric/mystic/religious theme.
Is there some kind of procedure that has been established in the international Wikipedia? Do you stop working on the article and start a discussion? Or do you fight on an article until you come to a consensus (or enough people have given up ;-) )?
I think in scientific articles it is not such a big problem to specify the different opinions and state which one is more and which is less accepted. But I have my problems to declare that ghosts, clairvoyance, etc. do exist/work, or do not, and that both opinions have the same possibility. But maybe that's a just lack of my democratic, pluralistic engagement and an excess of my scientific believing emotions. (BTW: is parascience a science?)
Am I too afraid of fanatic esoterics/christs/etc that are flooding wikipedia with totally biased articles and not willing to discuss about their opinions?
Bye, Kurt
