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?
