Questions:

[edit]

Have you read the AMA FAQ?

  • Answer:Yes

How would you describe the nature of this dispute? (policy violation, content dispute, personal attack, other)

  • Answer:content dispute

What methods of Dispute Resolution have you tried so far? If you can, please provide wikilinks so that the Advocate looking over this case can see what you have done.

  • Answer:I have tried providing content that would answer the objections of the opposing parties (mainly JG) on the talk page.

What do you expect to get from Advocacy?

  • Answer:help in establishing NPOV on the article page

Summary:

[edit]

At least one person early on the talk page also recognized the bias in the article. There was an invitation on the talk page to bring NPOV to the article. I carefully cited sources and they were removed by JG without comment. He did not comment on why until I started a thread on the talk page. His dismissal of my contributions are complete. I am arguing that the phrase 'junk science' is in use by scientists meaning deceptive or deeply flawed scientific claims. JG insists that 'junk science' is only a legal/political rhetorical device and carefully deflects all my citations to the contrary. I have produced many citations to support my view. But, I assume if I put up NPOV in the article again, JG will just remove it again.
