User:Doc James/Suppression of content


 * ''See also not censored and Here to build an encyclopedia

Wikipedia should provide encyclopedic information regardless of concerns about theoretical harm or religious / personal distaste. Examples follow:

1. Tiananmen Square protests of 1989
Suppression of information regarding the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 was and continues to be attempted by the Chinese government. Wikipedia will not bow to pressure to suppress this or other verifiable information of political / social / cultural significance.

2. Psychological test information
Wikipedia should attempt to reflect the contents of the published scientific literature in a language understandable to the general population. This should occur regardless of published statements by health organizations which claim that the ability to assess and treat clients will be compromised as the tests will be invalidated.

Wikipedia medical disclaimer shall be viewed as a sufficient disclaimer regarding concerns about the quality, content, and health effects of information. It currently states: "the medical information provided on Wikipedia is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a medical professional." This shall not be interpreted to limit the contents of articles within the areas of medicine, psychological, or science.

3. Images of religious significance
Mohammad plays an important role in the history of human kind. Images of this prophet will not be suppressed based on religious considerations.
