'''Wikipedia policy notes for new editors:'''<br />
A common objection made by new arrivals is that the article presents {{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}|the subject}} in an unsympathetic light and that criticism of it is too extensive or violates Wikipediathis wiki's [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Neutral point of view|'''Neutral Point of View''' (WP:NPOV)]] policy. The sections of the policy that apply directly to this article are:
* [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Neutral point of view#Fringe theories and pseudoscience|'''Neutral point of view: Fringe theories and pseudoscience''' (WP:PSCI)]]
* [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Neutral point of view#Due and undue weight|'''Neutral point of view: Due and undue weight''' (WP:UNDUE)]]
* [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Neutral point of view#Giving "equal validity" can create a false balance|'''Neutral point of view: Giving "equal validity"''' (WP:GEVAL)]]
 
Also of particular relevance are:
* [[WikipediaProject:TendentiousEditorial editing#Righting great wrongsguidance|'''Tendentious editing: Righting Great Wrongs''' (WP:RGW)]]
* [[WikipediaElite Dangerous Wiki:Verifiability#Exceptional claims require exceptional sources|'''Verifiability: Exceptional claims require exceptional sources''' (WP:REDFLAG)]]
In short, there are certain topics and fringe viewpoints we should not be giving '''false balance''' to. See [[WikipediaProject:FringeEditorial theoriesguidance|'''Fringe theories''' (WP:FRINGE)]] for more context on how Wikipedia deals with fringe views.
