Questionable?

Hi guys, I have seen the policies attached to the talk page. However, I still think that the article could use with toning down the more emotive language and vague assertions. I agree that Null is somewhere between a kook and a scam artist. However, we should strive to made the article have a neutral tone. The fact is that Null is opposed to the scientific consesus and promotes dangerous treatments, so we should just report these facts. I am sure you get all sorts of motivated editors who do not know WP policies here and it must be tiring. But I ask you to assume good faith. Ok, I think it is best to work from edit to edit. Putting 'questionable' in the lede line doesn't strike me as useful. It is not a word with a clear medical or scientific meaning. Would 'dietary supplements with no proven medical benefit' be better?

It simply says the same thing in on word.Slatersteven (talk) 10:37, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, I cannot parse your sentence. Could you clarify what you mean? Ashmoo (talk) 17:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
I think words like "questionable" and "fringe" should be avoided. Heleneht (talk) 22:45, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
"Questionable" is already a polite compromise. All words that could accurately replace "questionable" would be less kind. ApLundell (talk) 23:59, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Rephrase for clarity

Hey guys

→he was speculated to have incurred the maximum revenues, in the history of the WBAI station, as it shut down in October 2019.[49]

This is not clear. Let's say he was speculated to have raised the most money for WBAI of any single person in its history.
