The obvious solution is a "believers" article and a "sceptics" or
"debunkers" article. However Wikipedia contemplates including fair
representations of both viewpoints in the same article. Therefore don't try
to get the other viewpoint out but rather try to get your own viewpoint in,
in fact, insist on it.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Controversial new religious movements, failure of the
Wikipedia system?
I have been working on various controversial new religious movements
including [[Sathya Sai Baba]] of which I am an ex-member, and
[[Maharaji]]. Unfortunately, it seems very difficult to maintain
objective, balanced articles about these gurus and their corresponding
new religious movements.
People who are followers try to insert positive material and ex-members
go to the other extreme of abusing their former gurus. It is an almost
full time job for me which cannot continue because I will have others
things to do.
It seems that the Wikipedia system does not work well for these kinds of
cases. I would appreciate help in maintaining the articles. Does
somebody have another suggestion?
Thanks in advance, Andries Krugers Dagneaux [[user:Andries]]
