替代醫學,針灸等(Energy Psychology, Energy Medicine, acupuncture, and other forms of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM))的支持者嫌wikipedia對於這些詞條限製過於苛刻,跑到白宮發起請願。wiki創始人之一的Jimmy Wales高調回應: “你們這幫家夥開玩笑吧。你還是回去學學什麽是誠實,實事求是。如果你能在知名學術雜誌發表,就是說,你能提供可重複的科學證據,我們就發表。”
"No, you have to be kidding me. Every single person who signed this petition needs to go back to check their premises and think harder about what it means to be honest, factual, truthful.
Wikipedia's policies around this kind of thing are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals - that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.
What we won't do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of 'true scientific discourse'. It isn't."
