 ::::::::::::::::::::Wikipedia cannot achieve the stated goals of RW because of its NPOV policy. [[User:Nx|Nx]] 05:38, 1 September 2009 (EDT)
-Okay (I'm just going to stop indenting at this point although I am replying to Nx.) Now can we look a little deeper into your claim that, "Wikipedia cannot achieve the stated goals of RW because of its NPOV". I think it possible that Wikipedia's policy of requiring reliable sources (which is the main aspect of NPOV that matters here) is '''more effective''' then someone simply saying "God is bullshit". Can we agree as to that? [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 05:52, 1 September 2009 (EDT)
+Okay (I'm just going to stop indenting at this point although I am replying to Nx.) Can we analyze your claim that, "Wikipedia cannot achieve the stated goals of RW because of its NPOV"? I think it plausible that Wikipedia's policy of requiring reliable sources (which is the main aspect of [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral NPOV] that matters here) is '''more effective''' at, "analyzing and refuting the anti-science movement, ideas and people." In other words, providing evidence rather then someone simply telling you what they think the truth is. Do you find this to be a plausible theory?
