[Foundation-l] Minimum standards for verifiability

[valdelli at bluemail.ch]

Wikipedia establish that if a group of persons has an opinion and 
another has got its own opinion, Wikipedia should take care of both 
(with different importance following the diffusione of the opinion).

Not all could be verified, but all could have a reason, if this 
reason has got some references it's a good point.

In any case the original points of view are not accepted.

When a point of view is "verified" by sources, it does not mean 
that the 
point of view is correct. There are sources that say that the 
holocaust 
is a lie. If this is true because of there being sources that say 
that 
this is true, then there is a problem with the sources. When you 
then 
say that a court of law proved that something is not true, than it 
is a 
known fact that the world is flat.
