Quackwatch
I've removed the disparaging remark about Quackwatch. Obviously the site has its proponents and detractors. Solely quoting the SSE disparagement of Quackwatch and calling it "academic" gives the misleading impression that a) Quackwatch has no serious support and b) SSE is a reliable source, rather than an organization whose primary ideological goal is to oppose sites like Quackwatch. I do agree with linking to the Quackwatch page, which is the appropriate venue for discussing praise/criticism of Quackwatch; note that Quackwatch has been praised by JAMA, U.S. News and World Report, and Forbes... all of which are more "academic" and/or reliable by Wikipedia standards than the SSE.

- Arguable. JSE (with a board possessng impressive academic credentials) actually seems to take itself seriously about the academic question how do you address the unmentionable, and then gets stigmatized (play with fire...). The JSE "reliablity" issue gets even more interesting by scientific standards (JAMA, Forbes, USNWR have numerous critics about opinion and pov). QW's fundamental problem with the Kauffmann paper, [1], is that it is a classic example of the "Emperor has no clothes". QW would probably do best for its longterm credibility by responding to the paper's merits, and correcting/reforming itself in some areas. But I'm not holding my breath.--66.58.130.56 00:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
