Quotation of the Day for March 27, 2014



"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."

- Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, responding to a petition to publish articles about holistic healing techniques.
