That's why NPOV and Scientific Point Of View are different things. (speaking here as a sceptical atheist who considers Richard Dawkins entirely too moderate, I have had occasion to suggest to other sceptics that they tone it down for Wikipedia - anyone who disagrees won't listen, and anyone unconvinced will be put off by a didactic tone.) It's where the apparently-odd en:wp phrase "verifiability not truth" comes in: we're mere humans, we don't have access to cosmic truth in all its glory; verifiable references are all we have to go on and show to others. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
