It would also be nice to get some Ptolemaist scholars to review our
entries on gravitation and the solar system systematically; I suspect
there's a lot of Galilean POV creep.

Seriously though, legitimate POV disputes are one thing ... but when one
side has all of the science behind it and the other side has nothing
behind it, giving equal weight is fallacious.  Our articles on the shape
of the Earth, global warming, what caused 9/11, and HIV causing AIDS are
similarly reality-based.
