The information on Gary Null is a hatchet job and affects this site's credibility. Mike Trombetta (talk) 20:53, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That was discussed long ago, see WP:LUNATICS. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:03, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Tgeorgescu. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Isis Unveiled, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Einstein was an opponent of quantum mysticism. tgeorgescu (talk) 20:37, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In a you tube video a member of Blavatsky's Theosophy group includes the Einstein comment in a lecture. Mike Trombetta (talk) 20:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Einstein was a materialistic rationalist and his "cosmic religion" consisted of materialistic rationalism. See also WP:FRIND and WP:IRS. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:01, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm McSly. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

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) 21:10, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
