So you think that in science pages, for example,

I'm not discussing what I think should be done, I'm discussing what I believe current policy to specify. I believe creationism has no place at all in an article on science. That's neither here nor there though.
Shane.
But if we take seriously the idea that if many people believe it it should be given space, you must do that, surely. Mark
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I must do what?
If you're saying I must put those views in articles, I disagree. I can choose not to edit those articles and let other people work on them.
If you're saying that if I do choose to work on articles, I'm obliged to put views in that I personally think to be wrong but are popular, then I think you're absolutely right. Like I said, I personally feel creationism has no place in an article on science. I don't edit to my personal feelings though, I edit to policy (or at least I try). That's why I said my personal feelings are neither here nor there: only what's currently policy matters.
Anyway, we're probably getting a bit off topic now, so I'll shut up. :)
