== Topical organization ==

In light of recent improvements in sourcing and descriptions (if I do say so myself), I would like to re-open the issue of leaving this list organized according to notability of demarcation source instead of sorting related topics together. As has been pointed out before, this system decreases the utility of the article by making it more troublesome for the average reader of this encyclopedia to find relevant information (for instance, homeopathy). Though some degree of housecleaning remains to be done, to a large extent the entries describe their topics and sources well enough for the current somewhat artificial division to seem more troublesome than it might be worth. - [[User:Eldereft|Eldereft]] ~([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|s]])[[User talk:Eldereft|talk]]~ 07:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

:To me, this represents a huge [[WP:WEIGHT|weight]] problem, a bit like having a list of terrorists according to the U.N., George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, and Hamas all in the same group. There is no objective demarcation we can rely on. The problem is exacerbated by the title remaining as it is without the "alleged" caveat. It might be OK if we explicitly stated the source along with each entry, and not in a footnote, thus: Astrology .... (source: California Academy of Sciences). --[[User:Jim Butler|Jim Butler]] ([[User talk:Jim Butler|t]]) 19:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
::I am in agreement with Jim Butler here. I consider the entire article (sorry, list) to be of little value as it merely cites a long list of opinions, and derogatory ones for that matter. Re-titling the article something like "List of topics accused of being pseudoscientific" would be more accurate. Further, listing the entities who have made these claims next to each subject would be much better than hiding them in footnotes.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 16:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

:I agree with this change. Let's do it according to the ArbCom rules, from obvious to questionable. There are quite a few questionable sciences lacking on this page. Economics, for example, has been widely criticized as a pseudoscience (by Soros, Taleb, Richard, and rightly so, as it uses more ''a priori'' deductive reasoning than it can justify (e.g., the "[[efficient market hypothesis]]" -- which is violated daily in the financial markets, and its Wikipedia article notably has no evidence for it). It needs to be included here, along with other social sciences, although it is in my mind the most pseudoscientific because it makes the strongest claims, and tries to fool with fancy mathematics.

== Primal Therapy proposed addition ==

I request the consideration of [[primal therapy]] to be listed under one of the lists on this page. I consider it to be pseudoscience, and I wondered if I could get a consensus. See the criticism section on the wiki primal therapy section. AN argument is made for primal therapy being a pseudoscience on debunkingprimaltherapy.com . I will wait for your advice before I list it here, [[User:Zonbalance|Zonbalance]] ([[User talk:Zonbalance|talk]]) 08:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

: "The theoretical basis for the therapy is the supposition that prenatal experiences and birth trauma form people's primary impressions of life and that they subsequently influence the direction our lives take... Truth be known, primal therapy cannot be defended on scientifically established principles. This is not surprising considering its questionable theoretical rationale."<ref name='Gale_Primal'>{{cite book | last = Moore | first = Timothy | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Primal Therapy | publisher = Gale Group | date = 2001 | location = | pages = | url = http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g2699/is_0005/ai_2699000587 | doi = | id = | isbn = }}</ref> - I think you have a winner. That ref. is I believe by the same Timothy Moore as the one at Glendon, and is currently absent from the article. I have enough edit wars on my WatchList right now, but feel free to incorporate it.

== EMF (2) ==
Did anyone remove the EMF reference?--[[User:Area69|Area69]] ([[User talk:Area69|talk]]) 22:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

: No. I provided [[Talk:List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts#EMF|above]] two solid references, the WHO factsheet on electromagnetic hypersensitivity[http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs296/en/index.html] and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences report on EMF[http://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/emf/docs/emf2002.pdf](pdf), as well as some discussion asserting that the current entry is in accord with scientific consensus. I am also unclear from the previous discussion what precisely you think should be removed and why. - [[User:Eldereft|Eldereft]] ~([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|s]])[[User talk:Eldereft|talk]]~ 23:56, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

== agreed on pento water and bates method ==

::seconding Eldereft's excellent recent additions, there is a scientific consensus on these. [[User:Zonbalance|Zonbalance]] ([[User talk:Zonbalance|talk]]) 20:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

== Propose deletion of biased and damaging list (not even an article) ==

I just came across this list and my immediate reaction was: "How is this an encyclopedia entry??!" I then looked over the discussion page and found that there had been requests to delete the page, but that this was voted down. I want to add my voice to those who do not think this list should be on Wikipedia. My reasons agree with some of the complaints already lodged against the list. Firstly, it is a list and Wikipedia discourages lists. Secondly, the entire list represents a POV (I won't add the -ish because it is more than POV-ish!). I will add to this that the entire concept of pseudoscience is not only subjective (ie. there will always be debate over whether a given subject is REALLY pseudoscientific or not), but it is a negative label. To apply the term pseudoscientific to a subject is to attack the credibility of that subject. Quite simply, the term is an insult.

I will go further in noting that many of the topics in the list are themselves unclear. For instance, [[out-of-body experiences]] are on the list, yet the brief description notes that they are "real experiences" and that some theories invoke the paranormal. What is really being labeled pseudoscientific here? The theory that a soul might leave the body is by definition not scientific, so where is the pseudo-science?

Another example, ESP is listed as pseudoscientific, though ESP could not claim to be a science in and of itself. The science that studies ESP, however, is likely what is being indicated as pseudoscientific here, though the list does not include parapsychology. [[Parapsychology]] is a field of research that uses strict scientific methods. I note here that the [[Parapsychology Association]] is affiliated with the [[American Association for the Advancement of Science]], lending the field credibility and destablizes an argument for "scientific consensus" that might declare parapsychology a pseudoscience.

Now, if the science of parapsychology cannot deemed a pseudoscience by scientific consensus (though there will always be those who disagree), then how can certain subjects of the field's research be deemed pseudoscientific on their own, like out-of-body experiences and ESP?

Finally, I will note that most of the citations in this list come from recognized "skeptical" sources. These sources are by nature biased and cannot be deemed to speak for the scientific community at large. So, in effect, this is a list of subjects that biased skeptics deem unworthy of attention. What is the value in a list like that?

Quite simply, this list is flawed in its design and does damage in giving the impression to the uninformed reader that certain topics or subjects ought to be rejected out of hand because some people consider them wacky.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 03:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

:Have you read the ArbCom ruling at the top of this page? This has been discussed and ruled upon at the highest level. [[User:Dougweller|Doug Weller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 06:33, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

::I've read the ArbCom ruling, based on a rather limited discussion. I add this note because the points I mention above were not all discussed in the Arbitration discussion and I think that the list remains problematic.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 14:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

One way of making an immediate and effective change to this list would be to simply change the article title. The title presently implies that the subjects in this list ARE pseudoscientific. Instead, the article actually lists subjects that have been labeled pseudoscientific by some group or another. I suggest that the title be changed to something along the lines of [[list of topics or concepts that have been accused of being pseudoscientific]]. This suggested title would be more in line with what the list actually includes, and would represent an objective overview of the list for potential readers. As is, the biased POV begins from the title itself in assuming that the list includes concepts that are all definitely pseudoscientific, a claim that cannot be sustained. I do not know how to change the title, but this would be one major step towards cleaning this list up.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

:I agree with Wikigonish that this article is VERY biased. Also, Creation theory is listed here, yet the Evolution theory is not. Even though the Creation theory has been proven (multiple times) and the Evolution theory has been disproven (multiple times), Creationism is listed under psuedo science. If it goes here, then Evolution should go here as well. Proofs of Creationism: If we were an inch closer to the sun, we would all burn up. If we were an inch farther away, we would freeze. The earth is tilted at a 23 degree angle. If it was one degree in either direction the earth would spin out of its orbit. [[User:Xen Steel|Xen Steel]] ([[User talk:Xen Steel|talk]]) 22:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

::Yeah, right, we should put Evolution as pseudoscience and remove creation theory as it's a solid science..... No, that's not gonna happen. --[[User:Enric Naval|Enric Naval]] ([[User talk:Enric Naval|talk]]) 00:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

=== Topics which notable skeptical groups consider to be pseudoscientific ===

: The entire "Topics which notable skeptical groups consider to be pseudoscientific" is [[WP:POVFORK]]ish and should be deleted. -- <b><font color="996600" face="times new roman,times,serif">[[User:Levine2112|Levine2112]]</font></b> <sup><font color="#774400" size="1" style="padding:1px;border:1px #996600 dotted;background-color:#FFFF99">[[User talk:Levine2112|discuss]]</font></sup> 05:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

::: I agree with Doug above, the notable sceptics section is not a POV fork. I'm also against the "accused" suggestion.

::::I tried to delete the section as per Levine2112's suggestion, but I was "undone". Why is anyone against the suggestion to change and improve this article by making it more objective? This list is of topics that have been "accused" of being pseudoscientific. If you think there is some kind of objectively scientific way to prove an accusation like that, then let's add you to the list as well. Seriously, this list is completely biased and will not get better with biased editors trying to protect it.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:43, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

::::: The second, better organized, part of the article is not only not a POV-fork, it is not even clearly demarcated from the first. For instance, the [[American Cancer Society]] is cited to support the non-functionality of [[Applied Kinesiology]], but the closest the cited article comes to saying ''pseudoscience'' is to itself cite [[QuackWatch]]. Is this sufficient to promote the practice to the favored first section?
::::: Consider also the case of [[Autodynamics]]. Arguing the [[Lorentz transformations]] is about as productive as arguing the [[Noether theorem]] - not quite disputing the [[Second law of thermodynamics|second law]] level, but next to it. It would of course be original research to list it here based solely on my understanding of physics, but neither do we. However, the APS will likely never issue an official statement, leaving it to languish in the second section. This adds an unintended element of social notability to a categorization scheme that was supposed to be based solely on level of non-acceptance.
::::: There is definitely a valid [[WP:WEIGHT]] argument against organizing this article according solely to field. It is my contention, however, that properly documenting the sources used for inclusion more accurately and more precisely provides the same information that the big ol' dividing line does.
::::: Also, adding an ''accused'' or similar qualifier to the name and inclusion criteria could significantly decrease the utility of this list by opening it up to all manner of nonsense. - [[User talk:Eldereft|Eldereft]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|cont.]])</small> 16:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

::::::Wikigonish is confused. Wikipedia articles are not a place for editors to prove things, scientifically or otherwise, but for editors to report what reliable sources have said about a subject. [[User:Dougweller|Doug Weller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 18:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::::I will not deny that this list does have me confused. The title of the article implies that all of the topics in the list are pseudosciences, or "pseudoscientific". Yet, the list includes something like out-of-body experiences, which the list itself defines as being a genuine human experience. How is this pseudoscientific? In response to Doug Weller, surely editors have the responsibility to prove why something is even listed in this list and explaining how it fits the bill. Furthermore, in response to Eldereft's suggestion that changing the name to indicate that the list is a list not of actual pseudosciences (which would be impossible to codify being that the term itself indicates POV), but is rather a list of topics designated as pseudoscientific by skeptic or scientific organizations would leave the list open to all manner of nonsense, I reply that the list already is filled with all manner of nonsense. Changing the label will only help the uninformed reader understand that this is a list of topics that have been deemed/labeled pseudoscientific by some groups or individuals. Presumably this would not change the content requirements (however loose they already may be).[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 20:42, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::::: Out-of-body experiences are included, as stated but should be expanded, because some explanations for the real phenomenon delve into pseudoscience (or, more properly, are described as such by sources reliable to make such claims). We also have Ufology in spite of the fact that many reported UFOs are spy balloons and the like. This is how a list is more useful and nuanced than a bare category. - we are able to describe the level of evidence and particular attribution.
:::::::: By changing the article to [[List of topics which have been accused of being pseudoscientific]], we would be changing at least the apparent inclusion criteria to cover anything which has notably been described as pseudoscientific rather than only things that have been described by relevant [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] as pseudoscientific. For instance, [[evolutionary psychology]] has been described as pseudoscientific by some observers, but ''on the whole'' is unquestionably operating (or at least trying to operate) within the fold of science. But including such fields might by connotation give an incorrect impression of, for instance, the considered opinion of the scientific community regarding the face on Mars. - [[User talk:Eldereft|Eldereft]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|cont.]])</small> 01:19, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

::::::::: Perhaps we should really focus how the "Topics which notable skeptical groups consider to be pseudoscientific" is not only a [[WP:POVFORK]] (in that it only allows for the presentation of one-side of controversial and disputed opinions), but also how it may be in gross violation of [[WP:PSCI]]. This section of this "list" article has always been contentious and perhaps with good reason. Maybe we should all really consider whether or not this section should be removed. -- <b><font color="996600" face="times new roman,times,serif">[[User:Levine2112|Levine2112]]</font></b> <sup><font color="#774400" size="1" style="padding:1px;border:1px #996600 dotted;background-color:#FFFF99">[[User talk:Levine2112|discuss]]</font></sup> 07:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::: Yes, we need to keep in mind that lists need to be [[NPOV]] and needs to follow [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists#List_naming list naming and list content rules]. Arbcom's PSCI also applies. I haven't looked at the list under discussion, but does it follow these guidelines? -- <b><font color="999900">[[User:Dematt|Dēmatt]]</font></b> <font color="#009900" size="1">[[User talk:Dematt|(chat)]]</font> 15:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
<-- That's a good point re: NPOV and LIST. This is from [[WP:LIST]]:
{{blockquote|:
Lists, whether they are embedded lists or stand-alone lists, are encyclopedic content as are paragraphs and articles, and they are equally subject to Wikipedia's content policies such as Verifiability, No original research, Neutral point of view, and others.

Difficult or contentious subjects for which the definition of the topic itself is disputed should be discussed on the talk page in order to attain consensus and to ensure that each item to be included on the list is adequately referenced and that the page on which the list appears as a whole represents a neutral point of view.

The principle of Neutral Point of View requires that we describe competing views without endorsing any one in particular. Wikipedia:No original research applies equally to a list of like things as it does for the content article on each individual thing listed.}}

In my heart of hearts, I feel that the "Topics which notable skeptical groups consider to be pseudoscientific" section of this article is contentious, and the definition of the subtopic itself is disputed; however, I don't feel that this list represents a neutral point of view because it doesn't describe competing views. Rather, it just gives us the views of some notable skeptical organizations or individuals.

So now, aside from possibly violating [[WP:FORK]] and [[WP:PSCI]], we can also add [[WP:LIST]] and [[WP:NPOV]] to the pile. I am in favor of just outright deleting this section of the article. Other options might include providing the competing views, but I think that will make this article even more unwieldy. Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to correct the FORK, PSCI, LIST and NPOV violations in this section of the article by doing anything other than deleting this section outright? -- <b><font color="996600" face="times new roman,times,serif">[[User:Levine2112|Levine2112]]</font></b> <sup><font color="#774400" size="1" style="padding:1px;border:1px #996600 dotted;background-color:#FFFF99">[[User talk:Levine2112|discuss]]</font></sup> 19:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:I've suggested renaming the list itself. As I've argued, the word pseudoscientific is by nature not a neutral word and so designating this a list of topics which ARE pseudoscientific automatically biases the entire list, not just the sub-section that Levine2112 is referring to. I still think that changing the title of the article itself will be a good first step in clarifying the contents of the list. This is a list of topics that are considered pseudoscientific by some, which is entirely different from saying that these things ARE pseudoscientific. Those who have rejected this solution have not yet given any good reason for their objection.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 14:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

::Well, just my cursory reading of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_%28stand-alone_lists%29#Naming_conventions naming conventions of lists] sounds like the list's name should be [[List of pseudosciences]] with a lead that explains the contents specifically and then everything is NPOV from there, but I am willing to listen to a really good reason it's not called that considering that it might be related to the ArbCom requirements. -- <b><font color="999900">[[User:Dematt|Dēmatt]]</font></b> <font color="#009900" size="1">[[User talk:Dematt|(chat)]]</font> 17:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

== Religious concepts ==

I recently listed Christianity as a pseudoscientific concept given the supernatuiral nature of many of its claims. This was removed, however. Why? If it is because religions are not usually considered pseudoscientific, then there are several other concepts that need to be removed: [[Dianetics]] is a religious concept stemming from [[Scientology]]; [[feng shui]] is a religious concept stemming from traditional Chienes religion, etc. Again, given the vagueries of this list's raison d'etre, I do not see its value. This list must be overhauled or removed.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 19:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

:If it doesn't claim to be or is not labeled as scientific by others, it can't really be pseudoscience. [[Christian Science]], despite the title, doesn't make any scientific claims in the usual sense. [[Creation Science]] and [[Rickroll|"auditing"]] by Scientologists are pseudoscience because they make a pretense at being the real thing. [[User:Somedumbyankee|SDY]] ([[User talk:Somedumbyankee|talk]]) 00:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

::Ok, so one of the criteria for inclusion in this list is that the subject claims to be scientific? If that is the case, then why are out-of-body experiences on the list? An experience cannot claim to be scientific. Furthermore, what about the small list of paranormal subjects? Does ESP claim to be scientific? No. ESP is not a science nor is it a pseudoscience. Again, I am pointing out here how flawed this list is.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:34, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

::: Those subjects are subject to scientific analysis, and have been found wanting and are hence pseudo-scientific in their presentation. Religion is a different kettle of fish.

:If qualified scientists call it pseudoscience, then that's enough for me. It seems that we don't have a really good word for "wacky theories which don't work" besides pseudoscience.

::Qualified scientists often disagree amongst themselves. There is never a uniform consensus and theories are constantly updated and changed to reflect new observations. Some scientists might call some topic pseudoscientific, but there are at least two problems with this: 1) Not all scientists will agree, so the list is a list of what ONLY SOME scientist(s) call pseudoscientific, and 2) the label "pseudoscience" is a derogatory label indicating that the subject in question is not worthy of attention. This is not the same thing as a topic which requires further attention, or is "wanting" as Sesquipedalian indicates. When something is termed pseudoscience, the intention is not to indicate that more work needs to be done in the area, but to indicate that no work ought to be done in the given area since it is a wacky area to begin with. This is not a scientific approach in itself since it attempts to shut down scientific investigation.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

== [[Chiropractic]] and [[New England Skeptical Society]] ==

That [http://www.theness.com/articles.asp?id=4 link] appears to be citing the NESS ''newsletter''. Things may have changed, but my recollection from last time I wanted to cite something there is that I could find no indication that the articles presented are the considered opinion of the organization rather than the considered opinion of Dr. Novella.

:::: I was not questioning the claim or the source reliability in the normal sense. Unfortunately, [[WP:CCC|consensus]] on this article is that inclusion requires the considered opinion of a scientific body or skeptical organization. Once the inclusion threshold is met, normal [[WP:RS]] applies. Personally, if Sagan, Tyson, and Singh agree on something then I feel pretty confident of its status with regards to reality, but [[Talk:List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts#Inclusion criteria|what can you do]]? Ooh, here we go:
:::: Ontario Skeptics (now Skeptics Canada) has analyzed chiropractic and found it bunk ([http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skeptics.ca%2Fnewsletters%2Fsummer01.pdf&ei=462KSI39HqKqeqLhuOUP&usg=AFQjCNH17hRHmAFduOCwyAc91R66RfTsFA&sig2=KKP_xcH2tu1ZAyQFhAGsqg PDF]). In 2001 they recognized Paul Benedetti, Wayne MacPhail for their investigative journalism of chiropractic; the authors later published [http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=uiRRwf8oKZMC&dq=spin+doctors+chiropractic&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=4QxxcHOIhP&sig=B20rI2VUDqLqMeee6nTkIdfUcIw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result Spin Doctors].
:::: The producers of Scientific American Frontiers gave a fairly excoriating but calm review of the evidence, theoretical base, and medical opinion of chiropractic, [http://www.ncahf.org/news/saf.html quoted here]. The original should be tracked down and checked against [[WP:RS]] for the claims made.
:::: At least two universities have in the last decade rejected serious proposals to establish chiropractic programs. These rejections resulted at least in part from widespread antipathy in the biomedical community towards the antiscientific and pseudoscientific attitudes rampant in modern chiropractic: [http://www.sptimes.com/2004/12/29/State/Chiropractic_school_a.shtml FSU story]; [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_1_26/ai_80924581/pg_1?tag=artBody;col1 York University, Toronto story]. The latter saga comes with a [http://www.csicop.org/articles/19990203-chiropractic/ statement from The Council for Scientific Medicine].
:::: There are also a number of organizations and advocacy groups who consider chiropractic fully or mostly unfounded in science. For instance (in no particular order): [http://www.ncahf.org/pp/chirop.html NCAHF], http://www.chirowatch.com/, http://www.neck911usa.com/, http://www.voicesusa.org/, http://www.vocact.com/, http://www.chirovictims.org.uk/, http://www.chirobase.org/.
:::: Having established that the inclusion criterion is met, we need to discuss nuance. Our fiercely contested [[chiropractic]] article indicates that some chiropractors, notably NACM and CAMT, reject the pseudoscientific origins of their profession, preferring instead a view of the body in accord with anatomy. There is some modicum of evidence for spinal manipulation and lower back pain (''e.g.'' [http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab000447.html Cochrane] and [http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/painpag/Chronrev/muscskel/CP092.html Bandolier]). It is hardly stellar, but should be acknowledged. Other points of interest should include ''subluxations'' and ''innate intelligence''; the rational and demonstrated lack of efficacy for several other conditions, such as asthma or allergies; the lack of plausibility or quality evidence for several other claims made by practitioners ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11677551?dopt=Abstract a study of claims]); and the dangers (leading cause of stroke in young adults, dangers to developing bone structure, overuse of x-rays, ''&c.'') of irresponsible practice. Widespread use of homeopathy and applied kinesiology, ambivalence or worse towards vaccination, and similar attitudes among practitioners may or may not be deemed relevant. It seems too early to mention the Sandra Nette v. Stiles ''et al.'' lawsuit in this article until it has run its course.

:::::Sorry for the headache; imagine being one! Chiropractic itself is well established in science and has a large following similar to psychoanalysis which means it should fall under the part 4 of PSCI above or 'questionable science' at the very least, which shouldn't be classified as pseudoscience. Although I agree the Innate Intelligence is wacky, I don't think anyone has called it pseudoscience by itself. Most of the critics have just called the whole chiropractic field pseudoscience, which brings us back to my first point. Subluxation is a broad subject that does have some mainstream science concerning the musculoskeletal components that everyone treats (ie adhesion, sprain, pain, etc.) but for some it includes the Innate Intelligence which entails the vitalist components that at one end just means that the "the body is greater than the sum of its parts" to the other end that has a theology entwined in it as it invokes some "soul" and "spirit" concepts. This, of course, is hard to evaluate, but I am not sure if anyone considers it pseudoscience or just religious. It brings us back to not having a reliable source that says that Innate Intelligence is pseudoscience..

== Further Reading ==

I note that ALL of the references listed under "Further Reading" are written by recognized skeptics. This supports the view that this entire list is simply a soap box for the skeptical opinion which regularly attempts to minimize theories and scientific observations which contradict a narrow materialist ideology. Michael Shermer and James Randi are known ideologues, and Randi isn't even an academic (he's a professional magician). I repeat once again that this list is entirely biased, one-sided, and actually inflammatory. I call for this list to be deleted, OR to have the name changed to reflect its bias rather than to imply that the notion of "pseudoscience" is somehow objectively determined.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 02:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

: [[WP:GAFD|Here]] is the guide to deletion. Even discounting the problems with the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts|previous nomination]], though, the consensus to keep was overwhelming. [[WP:CCC|Consensus can change]], of course, but you would need to be prepared to rebut the points made in the previous VfD.
: I am unaware of any appropriate ''Further reading'' suggestions written from a non-materialist perspective, but proposals are always welcome. - [[User talk:Eldereft|Eldereft]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|cont.]])</small> 03:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
::Part of the problem here is that the list inherently prevents further reading from a non-materialist, non-skeptical body because the idea of "pseudoscience" is a biased position from the outset originating from this particular wing. That there should be no "further reading" on an opposing side of the issue ought to be enough to illustrate the POV bias of this entire list.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 16:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

::: Not inherently, I just happen not to know of any good, general references that are not from a rationalist materialist perspective. There are plenty specific references from non-materialist sources, for instance criticism of Reiki and other paranormal topics from a Christian perspective.

== Disparaging list ==

I am moving forward with attempts to see this list deleted since my calls to have the title changed have not yet been met. Pseudo-science is a label applied to theories and methods deemed to be "fake" science, or that stem from false science. The determination that something is fake science is not something that can be objectively made, especially in the context of paranormal phenomena. There is a lot of scientific research being done in this area, yet labeling the work of these scientists as pseudoscientific is spurious and libelous. Calling the list a "list of pseudosciences" implies an objective and factual basis for inclusion whereas what is really being listed are the inflammatory opinions of only some members of the scientific community. The list needs to be deleted or have its title changed to reflect that this is a subjective list. Perhaps, "List of concepts labeled pseudoscientific by skeptics" or something.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

:The list is ineligible for speedy deletion, both because it is not a page that exists exclusively to disparage its subject, as the "Attack Pages" criteria would require, and because it has been the subject of an Articles for Deletion debate. The last AFD was over 18 months ago, so I would have no objection if you wished to nominate the page for deletion, but I note that the consensus to Keep last time around was fairly strong, by my read; You'll want to provide very strong policy arguments that support deletion, with specific examples of the article's flaws and a very clear discussion of why those flaws cannot be remedied through the normal editorial process. But I stress that editwarring on the article is not a great way to further your position, nor is it likely to convince others that your rationale is sound.

::I think that this page does exist solely to disparage its content since the term "pseudoscience" itself is disparaging. It is like having an article titled [[List of people who are idiots]] and then including third-party references to anyone who has ever been called an idiot by someone notable. The list is problematic because it makes the disparaging opinions of some skeptics appear to be factually objective. I have been trying to make my case for either a title change to reflect the lack of objectivity in this list, or to have the list deleted, but this list is supported by several ideologues of the same ilk as the sources they cite within it.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
::I have gone ahead and boldly changed the title in order to mitigate the bias inherent in the list. I am satisfied with the name change, and hope others will recognize that what I am doing here is an attempt to improve Wikipedia. The former title implied a factual basis for something's actually being pseudoscience, whereas the new title explains that this is a list of opinions.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 15:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Wikigonish, the attack pages criteria exists specifically for pages where the entire article is an attack on a subject, or where such attacks are unsourced and make up the bulk of an article, or where there is obvious bad faith. In this case, it looks to me that there is good faith effort on the part of quite a few editors to improve this list and ensure that it is as neutral as possible. The lead seems to be a good attempt at acknowledging that items on the list are likely to be items of controversy. Since there's good faith, and sources (whether questioned or not), it doesn't meet the standard of a "Pure attack page". You seem to have valid points, and - if you wish to see this article deleted - you will need to do so through a properly formatted and well-reasoned deletion nomination through the AFD process. But continued disruption could well undermine your valid points about the article, which isn't your intention, I'm sure. Please take a deep breath and relax.

:I have not attempted to be disruptive here, and I have certainly NOT committed any act of vandalism, contrary to Verbal's unfounded accusation. Wikipedia encourages editors to be bold. I explained my rationale for the name change. How is this vandalism? I have already discussed the need to '''at least''' change the title in order to mitigate the bias of the list. In the discussion pages above there has been some indication of support for a name change. Thus, I changed the name. How is this vandalism?? As of yet, no editors have changed the page to deal with my concerns, nor have they come forward with valid arguments to counter what I have been pointing to as serious issues with this list. Unless things are fixed, I will go ahead and file for another deletion review; I note that the discussions on the last reviews did not involve any of the arguments that I've raised, nor satisfactory replies to them. Calling me a vandal is just the type of false declaration that many skeptics make when they declare this or that concept to be pseudoscientific.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 19:22, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

:*'''Comment.''' That any of these concepts are being declared "nonsense" is problematic as it represents a particular POV and one that is degrading and defamatory to adherents of these concepts. There is no factual basis for designating this or that concept as nonsense since scientific theory is constantly changing and being updated. Given the inherent bias in the designation, I've suggested changing the title to reflect the nature of the list more accurately: something like "List of concepts labeled as pseudoscientific by skeptical groups," or something. To use your terms, remember that one man's garbage is another man's treasure; a "List of concepts that are garbage" is obviously biased.

*'''Oppose''' Refusing to accept skeptic groups as source for what constitutes pseudoscience is, IMHO, a very bad idea that doesn't seem to have any base on reality. I have seen no reason for ''why'' a skeptic group would make an inacurate or false accusation of pseudoscience!

:I have seen these accusations of POV before, and, on their more transparent encarnations, they are the ridiculous position that skeptics groups, for some reason, will want to accuse theory X of being pseudoscience, not for having all the indications of being a pseudoscience, but for dark hidden motivations that only they are able to spot. I have seen this position before, saying, for example, that the traditional medical associations attack alternative medicine not because clinical trials are failing to validate it, but because they want to keep their privilegues and stomp on anything meacing the status quo, even if it could sav millions of lifes.

:This is just the position that skeptic groups are composed by bitter or jealous individuals that want to stomp any alternative stuff that that they believe that could work, in order to preserve the status quo of [[The Man]]. It's the typical position taken by scientists and inventors accused of pseudoscience that "The Man is trying to take me down", while roundly refusing to examine the reasons for the accusation.

:Also, skeptic groups are the only ones that regularly publish scientific analysis of the more obscure pseudoscientific topics, so that's the place where scientists will go to publish them. For example, [[Skeptical Inquirer]] will publish stuff written by scientists not associated with any skeptic group. If a scientist wants to blow steam about some theory, they will go there (as an example: [[Ray Himan]] about [[Remote viewing]][http://www.csicop.org/si/9603/claims.html], years after he made a review of it for the US Government that killed [[Project Stargate|a multimillionary government project on it]]). If you can find reports on skeptic magazines that X is pseudoscience, and you can't find any study on science magazines validating X, then that's a very good indicator that X is most probably a pseudoscience. --[[User:Enric Naval|Enric Naval]] ([[User talk:Enric Naval|talk]]) 18:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

:* '''That parsing of the PSCI Arbcom is questionable'''. For one thing you are using "skeptics (critics)" rather than "some critics", as the wikilink reveals. It does not refer to scientific skeptics at all, and uses the more general "some critics" wording, since using the word "skeptics" could imply that the criticism was coming from the scientific skeptical side, IOW from the mainstream. (Those who claim to be "skeptics", but who criticize the mainstream position are categorized as "[[pseudoskepticism|pseudoskeptics]]"[http://skepdic.com/refuge/sheldrake.html] by [[Robert Todd Carroll]], an expert on the subject of skepticism. "Critics" can be anyone, including fringe, pseudoskeptical sources who support and/or defend pseudoscientific POV and criticize mainstream positions. The four points made by the Arbcom decision create two distinct groupings: (1 & 2) are clearly pseudocientific (A) groupings recognized by the mainstream as such, while (3 & 4) are groupings within mainstream science (B) of less than certain status, but not considered pseudoscientific by the mainstream. Here are the groupings:

::'''A. Here''' we are dealing with territory outside mainstream science, IOW in PSI territory defended by pseudoskeptics:

:::1. Obvious pseudoscience
:::: Theories which, while purporting to be scientific, are obviously bogus, such as Time Cube, may be so labeled and categorized as such without more.
:::2. Generally considered pseudoscience
:::: Theories which have a following, such as astrology, but which are generally considered pseudoscience by the scientific community may properly contain that information and may be categorized as pseudoscience.

::'''B. Here''' we hop over to the other side, into mainstream territory that is often criticized, mostly (but not exclusively) by fringe sources:

:::3. Questionable science
:::: Theories which have a substantial following, such as psychoanalysis, but which some critics allege to be pseudoscience, may contain information to that effect, but generally should not be so characterized.
:::4. Alternative theoretical formulations
:::: Alternative theoretical formulations which have a following within the scientific community are not pseudoscience, but part of the scientific process.

:: Your parsing blends the two groups (A & B) and risks misclassifying skeptical=mainstream criticisms of PSI subjects (1 & 2) as fringe criticisms (3), if they are made by scientific skeptics. The proposed AFD would then conveniently be used to eliminate the POV expressed by those skeptics, which would certainly please those editors who don't like those skeptics. Skeptics are mainstream and express mainstream POV. Their criticisms of PSI are no less valid than any other mainstream views published in peer reviewed research. Anything in groups 3 & 4 should not be in this list at all, although notable fringe (or rare mainstream) criticisms of 3 can be noted in their individual articles. Since my support of a compromise in this situation is being used to further the aims of those who wish to delete well-sourced skeptical=mainstream POV, I will withdraw my support for this RFC. -- <i><b><font color="004000">[[User:Fyslee|Fyslee]]</font></b></i> / <b><font color="990099" size="1">[[User talk:Fyslee|talk]]</font></b> 03:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' this split. [[WP:PARITY]] and [[WP:VALID]] indicate that there is no reason to separate the list as it is. We could be more explicit in stating our sources inline, but we should also keep in mind the [[WP:ASF]] and [[WP:NPOV#Let the facts speak for themselves|Let the facts speak for themselves]] sections so the NPOV policy. These latter suggest that statements of how each entry diverges from reality should be included. Such statements may be sourced to relevant scientific organizations, further blurring our artificial line of demarcation.
: We might, however, at some point wish to create subarticles from this list, as it is currently 76 kB. Whether it would be better to organize strictly alphabetically for this purpose or to split by subheading I leave to some future discussion. - [[User talk:Eldereft|Eldereft]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|cont.]])</small> 20:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' Such a content fork would just give another article with the same problems. Having 2 sections within this article is more than enough, having 2 articles will just confuse the issue (which i guess is sourcing?

===Counter proposal===

Stop with the attempted tiers of pseudoscience (one tier for scientific consensus, one tier for "skeptical groups", whatever the fuck that means.) Instead just find sources that are [[WP:RS|reliable]] that have called some aspect of an idea pseudoscientific and group topically. Trying to demarcate within pseudosciences as we are currently doing is silly. [[User:ScienceApologist|ScienceApologist]] ([[User talk:ScienceApologist|talk]]) 19:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

:I'm afraid this illustrates the problem we are facing; there is a jump in the above from "sources that have called some aspect of an idea pseudoscientific" to "demarcate between pseudosciences". If even an editor of this article is concluding that because some reliable source has said "x" about some aspect of "y", then - regardless of the level of support for or controversy around this statement - "x" is true of all of "y", we have a very problematic situation. The article is, even if technically accurate, leading readers (and editors, apparently) to (logically, and surely in a number of instances empirically) false conclusions. 'Course the title reinforces this; it is simply not reflecting that there is a second tier of concepts included here, for which "some x said pseudoscience about some aspect of y" is verifiable, but "y is a pseudoscience" is not. The fork would be between:
:* areas for which the claim "x is a pseudoscience" can be reasonably held to be verifiable (and which thus belong under the present title) and
:* areas for which the claim "some people say x, or some aspect of x, is pseudoscientific" can be reasonably held to be verifiable.
:These are clearly differentiable, not a POV fork, and their confusion is the cause of endless argumentation here - for good reason. [[User:Hgilbert|Hgilbert]] ([[User talk:Hgilbert|talk]]) 22:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

::"Some aspect of foo is pseudoscientific" is linguistically equivalent to saying "foo is pseudoscientific". While this isn't a formal logic argument, rarely are people in this murky area speaking in absolutes. Is ''all'' of ufology pseudoscientific? Certainly not! Even though ufology is pseudoscientific, when someone simply reports on stories someone has told that is not pseudoscience... and arguably still an aspect of ufology. So why is ufology listed as considered pseudoscience by scientific consensus?

::No, the real reason for this attempt at demarcation between things that are pseudoscience and things that only have "aspects" that are pseudoscientific is that dedicated believers in the subjects of this list are active on this page. For example, I notice that anthroposophy is listed as something which is in Tier II of pseudosciences despite some pretty good indications that most of it is high-grade baloney. Nevertheless, we have some dedicated anthroposophy soapboxers active here who want to make sure that it isn't put in Tier I next to creation science, moon landing hoax accusations, etc. for fear that it be sullied by its natural association with other high grade baloneys. Likewise with various alternative medicines showing up on this page.

::So we're dealing with two issues here: one is people with not-so-laid-bare agendas trying to remove the association of their pet idea with the pseudoscience defamation despite the reliable sources which indicate it as such. Two is the issue of what amount of credulity we are applying to various sources. We have people active on this page who are disparaging some of the best sources we have and using arbcom rulings out-of-context (in the case of Quackwatch, for example) to say that we should look at scientific academy statements differently from the statements of individual scientists. Well, obviously, the people who are making these accusations have never looked deeply into how scientific academies make "statements". Rarely are they voted on in anything more than a committee sense and even that is ridiculous because, as our own article on [[scientific consensus]] and [[scientific community]] reads, there is no singular body that speaks for all scientists. Nor does there have to be. We can rely on individual scientists to comment on pseudoscience as they see fit. Trying to make some segregation of sources is artificial and merely, as I see it, a way for [[WP:POVPUSH|POV-pushers]] to continue their campaigns to attempt to [[WP:OWN|own]] various aspects of this encyclopedia.

:::No, we're dealing with fuzzy logic.

:::#Because a particular interpretation or aspect of a subject is considered to be pseudoscientific does not imply the whole subject can be so considered.

:::Do remember that meteorites were declared to be pseudoscientific by one of the greatest scientific authorities of the late 19th century.

::::Perhaps you should think about what you are saying. Even if quantum mysticism is an "interpretation of physics", the fact that physics is in the predicate means your attempt at a syllogism represents the fallacy of the [[undistributed middle]]. Comparing that to my example, which says that some aspect of ''foo'' is pseudoscience therefore ''foo'' is pseudoscience is quite different. What you are saying is something like "some aspect of foo is pseudoscience", "bar is an aspect of foo", "therefore bar is pseudoscience". Yeah, that's a fallacy, but it is manifestly NOT logically equivalent to my point. In short, the comparison belies [[predicate logic]]. Now, as for your meteorite issue, I have to say that if Wikipedia were written in the 19th century, meteorites would certainly appear on this list. Wikipedia changes as reliable sources change. That's the beauty of this encyclopedia. [[WP:V]] explicitly says that the standard is reliability and not truth.

::A major problem here is highlighted by this comment from Otolemur crassicaudatus: "Notable skeptic groups...are reliable source[s]. They represent the scientific consensus. Thus what they say is fact, not view." No true scientist would ever agree with this statement. For one thing, take a look at the spokespeople from some of the notable skeptical groups: one of CSICOP's front men is [[James Randi]], a professional magician, NOT a scientist. Sure, he sometimes makes sense, but how can the statements of a professional magician be taken as reflecting scientific consensus, first off, and then expanded to fact? Quite simply, the designation of an idea as pseudoscientific does not represent a factual explanation of that concept, as per the meteorite example above, and the example of hypnosis recognised in the list itself. Scientific theories change constantly, that is the nature of science. To label a thing as "factually" pseudoscientific is a hyper-conservative approach that defames (as recognised by ScienceApologist above) and stifles scientific progress.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 17:04, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Randi is an expert in investigating claims that defy [[scientific consensus]] about physics, chemistry, and other sciences directly affecting reality. He's considered so much of an expert that he was hired by [[Nature (magazine)|Nature]] to review claims of [[water memory]] by certain credulous scientists and came back with a report that blew their credulity out of the water. Just because someone doesn't have a PhD doesn't mean they are useless. And also, our goal here should not be to attempt to characterize [[scientific consensus]] about what constitutes a "pseudoscience". As I point out above, this is really a meaningless [[WP:OR|exercise in original research, forbidden by Wikipedia]]. What we should do is report the opinions of reliable sources about what is pseudoscience. Reliable sources, I might add, are reliable by ''reputation'' not by credentialism. [[Brian David Josephson]] has some pretty impressive credentials, but his credulity has been criticized from enough corners to make his position as a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] on many of these subjects to be questioned. Therefore we don't use him. Randi, on the other hand, is a good source for skepticism and evidence-based proposals, though ironically for our conversation he is actually quite cautious about not calling things "pseudoscience". For that reason, I think that disparaging him on this page is a bit of a red herring.
:::I think what we can say is that when something is ''considered'' by ''reliable sources'' to be a pseudoscience, this is a fact. This is the only fact that is relevant for this page. I think that we need to avoid any further demarcation as to how "authoritative" the source is. We have a standard for authority here: it's called [[WP:RS]]. If the source calling something a pseudoscience is found to be [[WP:RS|reliable]] for making such a claim, then we list the pseudoscience here. We can include the appropriate caveats and argumentations as well. [[WP:RS|Reliable sources]] we have a-plenty and their continual disparagement here is extremely problematic.

The possibility of an extraterrestrial origin was "pseudoscience" of the day -- until additional factual evidence changed the "consensus". Same holds for continental drift, during the half century of debate, the "consensus" was that it was akin to pseudoscience - that debate and consensus were facts. New evidence changed the picture and the "fact" of scientific opinion. The "opinions" of reliable sources are "facts" in the current debate about any pseudoscience. The status of some few of those pseudosciences may change in the future with new factual evidence and the opinions of reliable sources may change.

:::If the matter is one of listing things that have been labeled as pseudoscientific by recognized skeptical organizations, which is what this list essentially is, then the list needs to be titled accordingly. Presently, the list's title implies that it is a FACT that all of the concepts contained within the list are pseudosciences, NOT that they are ALLEGED to be pseudoscientific. This is a crucial difference, and is at the crux of my problem with the entire thing. Comparing the Amazing Randi (professional magician known for the awarding of Flying Pig Awards) to Brian Josephson (Nobel prize winning physicist with some unconventional theories) is exactly the problem with this list. Those who consider some paranormal theory as pseudoscientific (like Randi) will likewise see Josephson as a kook...however, when it comes to the inner workings of advanced physics theory, I'm going to go with the Nobel prize winning physicist over the Amazing professional magician.

:: I agree with Jeffire, each has to be looked at on its own merits. I would rate a scientist who has studied homoeopathy much higher on the expert list than a simple practising homoeopath, and Randi is an expert in extraordinary claims.

==Bullfighting==
:::Agreed; these are people who have achieved some expertise in the field, or have used their own expertise to evaluate very particular claims where this expertise is relevant. Would you agree that Randi's comments on quantum mysticism (imagining them to exist) should be given considerable less weight, for example? The point is that, at least historically, the second section has been for non-expert testimony, and it may be worth acknowledging the considerable difference.

:::: That depends on the basis for these hypothetical statements. If it is mere unsupported opinion in an area outside of relevant expertise then sure, it should be treated like any other human-on-the-street opinion. If, however, the source indicates that it has reason to believe that opinions expressed or facts asserted are in line with scientific consensus (with the usual caveats on ''scientific consensus''), then the degree to which we can trust ''that'' claim is more relevant than the individual's specific expertise. Randi has a great deal of reputation riding on his ability to make statements within the scientific mainstream, and can be trusted to have shown due diligence in researching such assertions. Moreover, Randi's expertise in the ways people fool each other and themselves is quite relevant to many of these entries. - [[User talk:Eldereft|Eldereft]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|cont.]])</small> 20:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm still concerned about possible POV bias here. If, for example, there is a field in which scientific work is being done; this work is reported in scientific journals and published by academic presses; it is studied in mainstream universities; and in all this is treated as a valid science - but an individual skeptic has (or even several have) made disparaging comments against it - is it to be treated as a pseudoscience or a science?

::There is an issue here of masquerading. I know of more than a few pseudosciences that have been able to publish more-or-less under the radar screen in out-of-the-way journals (and even occasionally in not so out-of-the-way journals) that have not received any independent review in the journals because other scientists don't want to waste their time. There's a lot of crap out there, even with peer-review and academic standardization. The real thing that we look for is not some laundry list of publications but how noticed the idea is in the relevant academic community. A marginalized idea is a marginalized idea. If someone calls this idea pseudoscience, then someone has called it pseudoscience. If this person is a respected scientist, then far be it from us to dismiss her simply because the proponents of this idea have been able to publish in the International Journal the Publishes Anything For A Price. That's the key point here.

::Also, can someone with access to Lancet articles read this article "Complementary medicine: time for critical engagement" [http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673600033924/abstract] and quoate us the sentence(s) that refer to anthroposophy? As a paper criticizing complementary medicine, it should be the perfect place to find all the problems that it has. I think that "Uncommon Schooling: A Historical Look at Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophy, and Waldorf Education" [http://www.jstor.org/pss/1180016] could help us a bit, <s>as well as "Beyond Rationalism. Chapter 2: Beyond Vodou and Anthroposophy on the Dominican-Haitian Bordelands [http://books.google.es/books?hl=es&lr=&id=MlE9uG6PgkYC&oi=fnd&pg=PA31&dq=anthroposophy&ots=qbg5EJ__Ei&sig=vbPNy9_rm3J1Kx_cTTaqGvsh2T4#PPA31,M1]. If those first two articles have gems like this: "The Anthroposophists echo Latin American traditional views on culture in which 'traditional' culture is seen as threatened by 'modern' cultural substitution (...) The anthroposophical approach is holistic: they introduce biodynamic farming techniques, Waldorf pedagogics, [[eurhytmics]] (...) anthroposophical medicine(...) During anthroposophical meetings in Montaña Antigua in 1991, the peasants were presented with 'occult explanations' for the rise of global capitalism, the industrial Revolution, allopathic medicine, industrial agriculture, enviromental destruction, nationalism, totalitarian regimes, religious fundamentalism and ethnic mobilisation".</s> Actually, this is an example of a school of thought making a good sociological work to help people inmersed on traditional cultures get used to modern culture. It's a good labor and it has nothing to do with the scientific validity of [[Anthroposophical medicine]]. --[[User:Enric Naval|Enric Naval]] ([[User talk:Enric Naval|talk]]) 14:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

:[[Hgilbert]] makes a good point here, but the POV criticism is further emphasised by the reaction to his point. If a skeptical group specifically says a concept is pseudoscientific, then that is enough to establish that the concept is FACTUALLY pseudoscientific, according to these people, and then only a claim that specifically says "this is NOT pseudoscientific" is enough to contradict? Of course, those who "believe" in this list will reject any contradictions to the label of pseudoscience unless it comes from notables that they themselves approve of.

::: It is rhetorically problematical to prove this point with a mere literature search. There are isolated instances of [[homeopathy]] and [[magnet therapy]] and the like in even the serious journals (''i.e.'' not just ''Homeopathy'' and ''Medical Hypotheses''), but there is strong consensus in the scientific community that these practices have no basis in observable reality. It is further important to distinguish between a study which considers the Anthroposophic approach a scientifically valid hypothesis, a study which takes an agnostic position on the theoretical justification for a practice, and a study which uses the Anthroposophic community as a ready cohort. The Alm ''Lancet'' atopy study is of this third type (and, incidentally, concluded that the observed lower instance of atopy in the community was, in fact, probably causally linked to an Anthroposophic lifestyle, but that this link was at least partially mediated by undervaccination; the fact that having had measles reduces atopy later in life does not validate any Anthroposophic hypothesis). Only the first type of study validates the idea that reliable sources treat Anthroposophic medicine as a scientifically valid approach. Additionally, studies of the "Anthroposophic lifestyle" need sufficiently to deconvolute the approach as a whole system from various healthy (some of the diet recommendations) and unhealthy (restricted use of antibiotics, antipyretics, and vaccination) factors.

::: As I recall, we removed [[Anthroposophy]] itself from this list for reason of being a religion.

::::: I am sure the Cincinnati Skeptics are nice folks, but it seems really silly that a statement from them meets the inclusion criteria for this article as written (unless they do not pass as a "notable" skeptical body), but statements from individual medical doctors who have investigated the system do not. To be perfectly honest, I just ran across the position statement while looking for something else. So long as we can agree on a reasonable definition of "notable skeptic", I think that basing entries on the rendered analyses of multiple such would actually ''improve'' the sourcing of this article. - [[User talk:Eldereft|Eldereft]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Eldereft|cont.]])</small> 04:13, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Under "Earth and Earth sciences" the "invasion biology" entry doesn't have an article and, out of its 4 references, 2 are to Theodoropoulos D. I'm not sure if this is a notable/reliable source, see his personal website [http://dtheo.org/].

I'm sorry to burst your bubble-there is no unbiased empirical criteria that defines biological "invasiveness"; therefore the notion of invasion biology is by definition pseudoscientific[[User:Pinus jeffreyi|Pinus jeffreyi]] ([[User talk:Pinus jeffreyi|talk]]) 01:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

*"Skipp" = '''[[Skipp Walther|George Walther]]''', {{flagicon|USA}} [[hydroplane]] driver
Agreed; the concept of "invasiveness" is applied to numerous biological concepts ([[Invasive species]], [[list of invasive species]], [[category:invasive species]], [[invasive species in Australia]], [[category:invasive fungus species]], [[zebra mussel]], [[list of Minnesota fish]], [[genetic pollution]], etc. as if the term were scientific. Yet the concept has been demonstrated to be biased by psycho-pathological "nativism" and whose fundamental assumption (homeostasis) has been shown to be unreliable. I can provide a number of references outside of D. Thodoropoulos; too bad it was already taken down.

One of the challenges on wikipedia is distinguishing pseudo-science from science. Even when there is a peer review process of professionals, vetting knowledge is not always done perfectly. But wikipedia is more informal and is still learning and developing a process. It is potentially a fertile ground for crack pots, especially if there is a well organized group of zealous supporters (e.g., the untouchable page on [[Heim Theory]]) or a powerful commercial venture (e.g., "The Secret") that seeks to blunt criticism.

Science is portrayed as conspiratorial, which is simply not true. If for exmaple, a theory really existed that could predict and explain the masses of elementary particles, someone, a professor, a graduate student, would take advantage of that to further their career. They would not engage in a conspiracy to suppress the truth for the benefit of some other scientists.

===[[Rowing (sport)|Rowing]]===
The follower of pseudo science or conspiracy theory is often unreachable. This is not because they are stupid people, it is because they have a feeling of elite knowledge. A would-be scientist, who has never really mastered the topic or accompished anything, can feel superior to Nobel Prize winners, because he knows Heim Theory. Someone who has built the Large Hadron Accelerator is inferior, because he does not know the "truth". It's a sad delusion. But if someone's self esteem is based on a cult-like belief, you can't shake it. All you can do is prevent them from corrupting wikipedia, posting bogus pages, and driving away experts with verbal abuse or other tactics. Sadly, it still happens.

: I whole-heartedly agree - which makes me wonder why the POV tag has been removed from this list, which is in itself a list of notions declared pseudoscientific (itself a loaded term) from one point of view or another. I remain unconvinced that this page has received a level discussion since none of my main criticisms have been adequately countered. It does not matter how many references this page has, the fact remains that the title of the list suggests that those items in the list are ABSOLUTELY pseudoscientific, which is not a claim that any true scientist would ever make about anything. I still maintain that the list is biased as presently titled and it would be more clear to the "innocent" reader just what the list contains if it were titled something along the lines of [[list of concepts labeled pseudoscientific by skeptics or scientific orgs]]. This title change, as I've said repeatedly, would make clear that this list represents a collection of OPINIONS and not fact.[[User:Wikigonish|Wikigonish]] ([[User talk:Wikigonish|talk]]) 01:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
