in German language: Desiderata - erwünschte Beiträge
Contents
Desiderata
This is a list of all topics to which contributions are urgently needed. Most of them are those that have been noticed in Wikipedia as one-sided representations or that contain such. The greater part of the Wikipedia articles is usually quite okay, so that a lot of material can be taken over easily. Only individual devaluations need to be corrected or omitted facts added or other sources added. Sometimes what has been noticed, you find behind the term in brackets. This page can be completed by everyone.
If you wish to contribute, please go the following four steps:
1. register (click on top right link on this page to do so),
2. write an email to jw@provings.info to tell that you have done so and to be given editing rights,
3. click on one of the below headings to edit that page or choose one from the Contents page or create a new page (how to, see here).
4. on that page click on "edit" in the top menu and the page will open to show a word processing version
- Thank you for supporting this project.
Examples of one-sided wikis, i.e. entries to be processed:
Medicine and Therapy:
Anthroposophical medicine (tendentious selection of sources, devaluations, literature is missing)
Bach flower therapy (comments on ineffectiveness, literature references only critical side)
Edzard Ernst (no critical aspects)
Evidence-based medicine (possibly expanding critical aspects)
Healing Stones, Crystal healing
Vaccination (sections on side effects, vaccine fatigue and contraindications grossly wrong, vaccination criticism and economic interests very tendentious)
Politics and History
Aborigines (mass murder hardly mentioned)
American Indian Wars (choice of words "conflict of interest", territorial claims)
Genocide (hardly any Indians, not at all Aborigines)
Imperialism (current role of USA completely absent)
NATO (choice of words "Defence Alliance", unkitic or misrepresentation of the Iraq war and NATO's eastward expansion; criticism section completely inadequate, arms expenditures unmentioned, privatization of the wars unmentioned)

World peace (no evidence of UN war ban and illegal wars of aggression)
Media
