Hi Fabrice, Just to point out that this is one post in a series of “OMG Wikipedia hates homeopathy!!!!” blogposts coming in from various corners of the blogosphere so I’d bear that in mind — this guy is, however, considerably more reputable than the usual bloggers that have been chasing this since the start of the year or so. As for responding to it — I’d defer to the side of the businessman :) Journalism is for journalists, and we as the Foundation are definitely not journalists — at least not the same kind. That’s just my spin on this though, as a comms volunteer. Other, actual comms-y people might think different. :) best, Joe On 5 December 2014 at 1:34:19 am, Fabrice Florin (fflorin(a)wikimedia.org) wrote: Hey social media team, What is our current policy regarding controversies like these? Harvard Doc To Wikipedia: You’re Not Playing Fair On Alternative Trauma Therapy http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2014/11/harvard-doc-to-wikipedia-youre-not-pla… The journalist in me says we should cover them because they are part of our movement’s news. The business man in me says it’s best to not stir the flames if it doesn’t serve your goals. What do we think as a communications team? I have not researched this at all, so have no factual evidence to cite about the validity of the author’s claims that he was unfairly scrubbed in this "energy psychology" article. But the reasoned tone of his article doesn’t make him sound like a “lunatic charlatan” at first glance, even if his medical methods are unorthodox. Again, please let me know if I am contributing too much or inappropriately to this list. I thrive on feedback :) Fabrice _______________________________ Fabrice Florin Product Manager, Multimedia Wikimedia Foundation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Fabrice_Florin_(WMF) _______________________________________________ Social-media mailing list Social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media -- Joe Sutherland Communications Volunteer m: +44 7722 916 433 | t: @jrbsu | w: jsutherland
