Just a thread to add those subjects where you fully expect there would have been a Wikipedia article about it, but there isn't.
Bob Welch songs: * Sentimental Lady * Hypnotized (the one made famous by Fleetwood Mac) (not this garbage) Musical group: * The Ebonys Law firm: * Jackson Lewis (over 500 attorneys) |

Yes, WP being what it is, there is no hope that it will ever be able to deal with users that purposely spread misinformation, so a short stub would be way better.

QUOTE(Guido den Broeder @ Sat 19th September 2009, 1:00pm)  Yes, WP being what it is, there is no hope that it will ever be able to deal with users that purposely spread misinformation, so a short stub would be way better. JFW is employed by the NHS in England and therefore attempts to push that horrible NICE guideline. Needless to say, that this giant conflict of interest has not been declared by this user... To be honest Guido, I don't think being an NHS employee per se will necessarily guarantee support of any NICE Guidelines. However, JFW has a very obvious ideologically- driven POV at the very least on illnesses like 'CFS' or 'ME' (though there are others), on controversial doctors, on uppity patients and their advocates etc. If one looks through his comments on talk pages and his edits over the years (or even relatively recently) it can clearly be seen. I have no idea whether he is a meatpuppet for 'vested interests' or not. However I feel confident that it can be demonstrated that he has an extremely problematic ideological standpoint on at least some subjects, and commits blatantly partisan behaviour on Wikipedia, and he doesn't get called on it. The likes of you or I Guido however, openly and honestly expressive of our Conflicts of Interest, have been hounded and libelled. What is of particular concern for me is the way JFW uses his doctor status (actually a junior doctor who has been also reprimanded by the GMC after a patient died) to claim expertise and authority on Wikipedia (though others do that for him also), in order to wage POV wars etc. I think people like JFW represent the problems around claimed 'expertise' on Wikipedia, how easily an assumed air of authority will bamboozle people, how claims to expertise get subjected to games of trumps etc in the power struggle to win 'the game' of truth-claiming, and how such complex issues can never be addressed successfully on Wikipedia. I'm very rarely a person who says 'never'- and yet I cannot see WP ever being able to resolve these issues. |
