woo like this needs to be stamped out. this simultaneously raises my opinion of mr. wales and further lowers it of change.org (though it was already pretty terrible). Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia responds to ridiculous petition seeking to force Wikipedia to take pseudoscience at face value.

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.
