Wikipedia policy notes for new editors:
A common objection made by new arrivals is that the article presents the subject in an unsympathetic light and that criticism of it is too extensive or violates Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV) policy. The sections of the policy that apply directly to this article are:

  • Neutral point of view: Fringe theories and pseudoscience (WP:PSCI)
  • Neutral point of view: Due and undue weight (WP:UNDUE)
  • Neutral point of view: Giving "equal validity" (WP:GEVAL)

Also of particular relevance are:

  • Tendentious editing: Righting Great Wrongs (WP:RGW)
  • Verifiability: Exceptional claims require exceptional sources (WP:REDFLAG)
In short, there are certain topics and fringe viewpoints we should not be giving false balance to. See Fringe theories (WP:FRINGE) for more context on how Wikipedia deals with fringe views.
