"The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." In philosophy, as well as in the humanities, there's a lot of information which is verifiable but not true (unless you're going to define "a reliable source" as a source which doesn't contain false information, anyway). _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
