Wikipedia Bias: Now You Can Do Something About It
Leaving Online Feedback is Quick and Easy
(OMNS, Aug 17, 2011) If you have been interested in what appears to be bias against nutritional medicine at Wikipedia, you now can comment about it online. No sign-in or registration is required.
At the very bottom of most Wikipedia pages, there now is a "Rate This Page" survey box, where you may click to leave feedback as to whether it is "trustworthy," "objective," "complete" or "well-written."
Among the Wikipedia pages that have been widely criticized for incompleteness, incompetence, or outright bias are those on:
Max Gerson, M.D., and the Gerson Therapy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Gerson
Orthomolecular Medicine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecular_medicine
Orthomolecular Psychiatry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecular_psychiatry
Abram Hoffer, M.D.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Hoffer
Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Orthomolecular_Medicine
FoodMatters documentary film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_Matters
OMNS readers are invited to look at these and other related pages and decide for themselves how to respond.
Why should you? Wikipedia is an extremely popular internet resource, visited by millions. Persons unfamiliar with nutritional medicine tend to uncritically accept what they read there, unaware that it may be false or misleading. Reporting inaccuracy and bias will help make Wikipedia a lot more trustworthy than it currently is.
To submit your evaluation with just a couple of clicks, scroll all the way down any Wikipedia page to the "Rate This Page" section. You can also click "View Page Ratings" to see how others have voted. No personal information is collected.
