"Many Wikipedians, myself included, are purveyors of minority, or even fringe opinions ... As a purveyor of minority opinions, you want to raise readers' awareness of certain ideas by editing the encyclopedia, or you wouldn't be here. Articles with a broad scope tend to get a lot of readership. Therefore, it often useful (from the purveyor's point of view) to include the minority opinion in those articles, or at least link those broadly-scoped articles to an article about the minority opinion ... An example would be a situation that occurred with the child pornography article. I added a section on "Proposed legalization" (a decidedly fringe public policy proposal) that included a description of the anarcho-capitalist viewpoint on the subject. The content on those anarcho-capitalist views was trimmed to one sentence by another editor concerned about undue weight, so I changed it to a see also to libertarian perspectives on child pornography. But then the whole "Proposed legalization" section of the child pornography article was removed. So, I retreated still further and just put a link in the See also section of the child pornography article to criticism of child pornography laws. This article, in turn, includes a see also to libertarian perspectives on child pornography. So, in a very indirect way, the full content that was removed is still readily accessible to a reader of the main article on child pornography, but the editors concerned with undue weight have evidently been satisfied."
This is thinly veiled pro-child porn propaganda. Fences& Windows 13:36, 15 August 2010 (UTC) reply
