Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Millard Fillmore, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.   Peaceray (talk) 04:07, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

 * You cannot justify a non-free use of an image of a living person since it is almost always possible to take an image that would be free use. Wikipedia not having a free use image is not an excuse or justification. Meters (talk) 05:05, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes. We are biased.
Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, once wrote:

Wikipedia's policies ... are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals – that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.

What we won't do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of "true scientific discourse". It isn't.

So yes, we are biased.
