1. The Need of New Approaches - Kritische Stimmen zur ...

Chapter 9: The Thought Experiment
No wonder that supporters of the orthodox academic teaching are also concerned about the success of their
schools of thought in Wikipedia and are at pains to suppress every bit of criticism. As a result of this, the more
controversial critical attitudes are often banned in die “Discussions/Talk” pages of the article. One special trick of
the academic Wikipedia strategists is to relocate the presentation of the criticism of a theory, where possible, as an
article in its own right, since a theory, as we all know, wants to have nothing whatsoever to do with the unwanted
criticism of this theory.
In these separate critical articles it is then mostly claimed, full of malice and gladly triumphantly, that true
science has long since ceased to concern itself with this criticism - a very welcome confession, from the point of
view of the critics, as to the correctness of their own claims, that in this field scientific freedom has been done away
with.

Basically speaking, then, there are three hierarchies for criticism at various locations in the Wikipedia articles:
(1) in very rare (normal) cases in the theoretical article itself;
(2) mostly at the low level of the irrelevant “Talk” discussions, and finally
(3) effectively disposed of in the almost invisible article of its own under the title
“Criticism of the XYZ Theory”.
In taking over articles between the various language versions of the Wikipedia, as well as in taking over
Wikipedia articles in other similar encyclopaedia companies, it can readily happen that earlier versions retain the
source information, whereas the source version itself has meanwhile again been considerably altered.
Selection
In order to limit the following overview to cases that document a personal intrinsic preoccupation with the
publications and activities of the GOM project and its partners, certain types of entries in the Internet have not been
considered:
- the catalogues and new-acquisition lists of libraries;
- small compilations on topics or persons put together by some small search engine or other and only offer
links to other websites;
- Wikipedia pages with personal topics in which the GOM project and its publications are merely mentioned,
without reference to the contents.
The selection of the cited text and passages should only give consideration to the GOM publications. The
purpose of this overview lies only in this point-for-point proof, but on no account in a report on the entire text on
the Internet pages.
