Yes. We are biased.

[edit]

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, once wrote:[1][2][3][4]

Wikipedia's policies ... 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.

So yes, we are biased.

And we are not going to change. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:59, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, FloresTindall

[edit]

My name is CJ Rhoads, and I've been trying for over ten years to get acceptance here in Wikipedia of the scientific evidence for Integrative Medicine. I'm going to attempt, once again, to get Complementary and Alternative Medicine to be separated from Integrative Medicine because, of the three, Integrative Medicine is the only one that has scientific evidence behind it. Please help me in my quest by supporting my statements and identifying others who are willing to go onto Wikipedia and support these statements and the sources that I plan to document here under what I hope will be a separate wikipedia page for Integrative Medicine.

Thanks CJ (talk) 19:10, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a new section at the AM article for your idea and commented there. -- Valjean (talk) 19:40, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Integrative medicine

[edit]

At Talk:Alternative medicine I requested a list of which AM practices used in IM fit under "ONLY those practices for which substantial evidence for efficacy and efficiency has been developed" but haven't received a reply. Will you help me? -- Valjean (talk) 02:10, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with this information. The AM article needs it. -- Valjean (talk) 15:54, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
