Arbitration Ruling on the Treatment of Pseudoscience

In December of 2006 the Arbitration Committee ruled on guidelines for the presentation of topics as pseudoscience in Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience. The final decision was as follows:

Neutral point of view as applied to science: Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view, a fundamental policy, requires fair representation of significant alternatives to scientific orthodoxy. Significant alternatives, in this case, refers to legitimate scientific disagreement, as opposed to pseudoscience.
Serious encyclopedias: Serious and respected encyclopedias and reference works are generally expected to provide overviews of scientific topics that are in line with respected scientific thought. Misplaced Pages aspires to be such a respected work.
Obvious pseudoscience: Theories which, while purporting to be scientific, are obviously bogus, such as Time Cube, may be so labeled and categorized as such without more justification.
Generally considered pseudoscience: Theories which have a following, such as astrology, but which are generally considered pseudoscience by the scientific community may properly contain that information and may be categorized as pseudoscience.
Questionable science: Theories which have a substantial following, such as psychoanalysis, but which some critics allege to be pseudoscience, may contain information to that effect, but generally should not be so characterized.
Alternative theoretical formulations: Alternative theoretical formulations which have a following within the scientific community are not pseudoscience, but part of the scientific process.

The MMS Guy is pushing Calcium hypochlorite as the mark 2 version of his miracle cure.

It looks like he will keep moving up the reactivity scale until it really starts killing people.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.65.191.122 (talk • contribs)

"former clairvoyant"?

Under the heading "Uganda", the final paragraph begins "British former clairvoyant Sam Little..." "Clairvoyance is not a real thing, so there can be no such thing as a "former clairvoyant". This should be changed to reflect this reality; perhaps to "Former self-described British clairvoyant Sam Little..." Bricology (talk) 17:37, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Agreed and revised. Zefr (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

There are also no such things as Psychics and Mediums, yet many of the bios for such people persist in defining those claiming to be such as exactly that. Just one example: Thomas John (medium). --Hob Gadling (talk) 03:03, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Potential Merge of Andreas Kalcker

Someone brought this article to the BLP board - normally, we have to be very careful with accusations against living people that haven't resulting in convictions. I've double checked and most of it is sourced, but I still the page should be deleted - he's only notable for promoting MMS.

... However, there is a bigger story here: MMS in Spanish Speaking Countries, especially during Covid. I absolutely feel that's notable. Should it be merged here? Moved to an article "MMS promotion in Spanish Speaking Countries?" I'd love a second opinion. Denaar (talk) 17:35, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Neither article should be deleted as they are sourced properly and notable. The Spanish content would fit very nicely here. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 23:51, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

"If, however, there is only enough information about one notable event related to the person, then the article should be titled specifically about that event." There really isn't a single article about him as a person, but rather, about his promotion of MMS. Lots of coverage of MMS that mentions him in passing (trivial mentions). Also "Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured."... He's not been convicted of anything. Yet, I still think the information in those articles is notable, but it's "Promotion of MMS in Spanish especially as it led to people using the cure during Covid 19 to adverse results" that is the story. Denaar (talk) 21:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and done the redirect instead of taking it to AfD. Because it's a living person who has been charged with, but not convicted of a crime, and the only thing I can find for the article is those charges, which are several years old with no follow up - I've moved them here. The situation in argentina might merit it's own article if someone could find some more resources; I came up short but a Spanish-speaking user might be able to find more follow up then I could.

Offensive language in article

Could someone please change the phrase ‘person/people with autism’ to ‘autistic person/people’ wherever it occurs in the article (except for individuals with a known preference for being labelled) to be more person-centred? Thank you. 80.193.98.150 (talk) 15:08, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Edit request

I think it's worth mentioning in the Argentina section that MMS was promoted on live TV by gossip journalist Viviana Canosa . 186.143.133.109 (talk) 13:00, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
