Talk:March Against Monsanto/Archive 2

848:, so we are generally presented with singular, corporate narratives that present only one sanitized view, usually from the perspective of Monsanto and the biotech lobby. This has been a serious problem in the U.S. for many years now. One of the tricks our media will use is to pretend to give "equal validity" to both sides, even when one side has a substantiated complaint and the other one doesn't. For example, in the media coverage surrounding the protest, you will rarely see any relevant experts cited on this topic. Instead, you will see biotech lobbyists, conservative think tanks, Monsanto representatives, and other shills. In this way, the media can portray this as a "he said, she said" issue, or even a warped version of "David and Goliath", rather than a valid concern over food safety and labeling laws. The bias in the U.S. media is so bad, that most media experts depend on Canadian, European, and other outside sources to find out what is going on in their own country. The country has essentially become a 3881:- the consensus statement is, "currently marketed GMOs are as safe as (or if you prefer as risky as) food from conventional organisms." It is exactly careful and skeptical. Companies that make GM crops and regulators are very aware that it is possible to introduce toxins or allergens in creating new GM crops; there are two well known examples of GM crops that were in development but were killed by the companies creating them, when the crops turned out to have unexpected allergens during testing; the other example is Starlink, which got to market and because the allergic response in some people was known (as tests by the originating company had shown), regulators restricted it to use in animal feed; it turned out that the distribution system could not keep it separate from the food supply and it was removed from the market. So those are well acknowledged points that are indeed part of the scientific consensus about 215:...political actors and corporate representatives edged out scientific experts as the dominant sources in these news stories...opposition to mainstream climate science began to emerge with the growing concern over the economic costs of binding action and the ascent of the George H. W. Bush administration...In general, U.S. mass media coverage of climate change science since the early 1990s has focused disproportionately upon the uncertainty of climate science knowledge claims, scientific controversy, and the economic costs..., a pro-corporate bias often arises in newspaper coverage of climate change...In explaining the pro-corporate biases and persistence of uncertainty in U.S. news coverage of climate change, some researchers have focused on the broader structure of the media and corporate power in the United States...( 535:

to avoid because the marches were not covered by much original reporting in objective, reliable secondary sources (as per my discussion with Thargor above) so I don't see how we can avoid OR if we proceed by stating a motivation and then critiquing it. As an example, I created a note following the quote that Michael Taylor "runs" the FDA which is not true - the note states the fact that he is a deputy commissioner, not The commissioner). I was a bit uncomfortable doing that because it could probably be struck as being OR or SYN as no secondary source connects that quote to the actual facts. So really - concretely - how should this article deal with the "Motivations" section in a way that accurately reflects those motivations and complies with policy? Let's keep moving toward solving this, please.

823:"Is genetically modified food dangerous? - There is nothing to suggest that it is "dangerous". The word dangerous is seldom used in connection with GMO foods unless there is talk of allergies. The major problem of GMO food is not whether it is dangerous, but if it is safe or healthy. Food is consumed differently in different cultures and ages. For instance, the maize porridge porridge is the first staple food many babies get when they are three months, although Norwegian children do not get porridge from GMO corn. When genetically modified corn is one of the most important products on the market, one must ask whether the corn is tested out from being a food for children. Today the usual tests based on adult rats for 90 days. I'm not impressed with how scientific it is tested." 820:"(Journalist): Why do Norwegian researchers disagree so much about GMOs? (Sissel Rogne): Natural sciencists are as subjective as any other, and have the ability to pick out the articles and points of view that fits with their political views. GMO field has become very politicized. There are also differences between being thorough and to be comprehensive. The treatment of GMOs is first and foremost comprehensive, and not necessarily thorough assessment of health and environmental effects. In the bottom lie assumptions that are continued without the researchers going into the material. Many articles are based on a simple and short study that is used to show that genetically modified corn is safe. I can not understand that this is good research." 287:

scientist can actualy claim that the safety has been proven. Scientists have identified possible risks, such as allergies and toxicities, but they've never been studied. And, we know that the protesters concerns about herbicide use, the economic impact on small farmers, the exaggerated claims about crop yields, the continuing patent litigation against conventional and organic farmers, and the revolving door in Washington allowing private industry to write their own regulations while public policy is destroyed—these are all very serious and real. There's nothing "fringe" here except your interpretation of the guideline. The protesters are voicing real concerns supported by real scientists, attorneys, farmers, and consumers.

1587:

doubly so given that the missing view has a lot of acceptance, backed by a preponderance of evidence. BTW, I also saw some notes above on how science operates. That would take a book to cover, but in the relevant area, there are varying degrees of acceptance, including "widely accepted" (including supported by work per the scientific method) but the non-existence of something (e.g. harmful effects from the products) is never considered by science to be "proven". So nothing is ever "proven" safe, and saying that that is a criteria for something is a red herring. And considering "not proven safe" as as support of the reverse view is even more logically and scientifically outlandish. Sincerely,

511:

responsible for some of the "most lethal chemicals in history". Infamous chemicals to be sure, but not most lethal by a long shot. This is why we should not be using opinion articles for statements of fact. There's other parts of his column which may be appropriate, but in general summaries of protesters views, printed in secondary reliable sources are preferred. We similarly need a very brief mention of the standing scientific consensus. On the other hand, I think the line by Alicia Maluafiti is a bit dumb -- she happens to be quoted in an article about MaM, but her opinion is not nearly notable in the global context of scientific consensus.

3050:

safe as (or as risky as, however you prefer) food from conventional counterpart organisms". It is not about any conceivable GMO used in any conceivable way, nor is it about the effects of GM crops from which food is made on environment nor is it about applied chemicals (not the effect of these chemicals on the environment nor on ag worker health) nor is it about industrial agriculture per se nor is it is about patents or other market aspects - it is about currently marketed food from GMOs and it is relative, not absolute. I very much appreciate your effort to keep this clear.

4130:(which doesn't include the local TV reports, which are easy to find via google). I believe that is the "factual" issue he is contesting. Especially the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. Does anybody have a comeback for that so we can resolve this tag? Seems to me there was a real dearth of actual reporting on the marches by solid journalists; lots of media picked up the AP story and just ran it. The NYT and WSJ said nothing. On the other hand, lots of outlets ran the AP story and CNN did pick it up, and there were lots of local news reports. So I don't know how to resolve this. 2603:

raised Fringe issues about other statements that they felt did not accord with reality (which again is different from "Monsanto's side") - I am not sure what the status of those objections are. No Knowledge (XXG) article should be "balanced" in the sense of giving both "sides" an equal voice - that is crazy. But every Knowledge (XXG) article should make sure that there is nothing stated that is Fringe (with respect to reality as described in reliable secondary sources - not with respect to the "other side") that is not tempered somehow.

3280:

one minute, that Monsanto and other similar corporations have not taken note of it and remain extremely aware of the implications and have serious fears of where this may lead... I'd guess that they are working on their plans for a counterattack at this very minute. I tend to believe that much of corporate America, including the media, believe that this issue is still cooking, though on the back burner at this time. I see no problem with including the fact that future protests are planned in our article.

violence-prevention programs. His ministry involves street-level direct outreach and crisis intervention. He is a 22 year veteran journalist who has written for , designed and edited local and national newspapers and magazines. His current and past affiliations include Christian Unity Baptist Church (New Orleans), the U.N.I.A., the Republic of New Afrika, Amnesty International, SCLC, the New Orleans Committee Against Apartheid and others." Sounds to me like he has expertise writing about protest movements.

ranges from unknown to as safe as conventional) but comes from a source whose only existence is to promote Monsanto's products. In your edit summary, you say that I must "add another" and that it is a "reasonable compromise" even though previous discussion shows no such compromise nor agreement on adding at statement from a biotech lobbying organization. Do you really believe that the best way to represent science is to let the biotech lobby do it? And, has it yet occurred to you that the real

seeds that are engineered to resist insecticides and herbicides, add nutritional benefits or otherwise improve crop yields and increase the global food supply." The AP author did not attribute it, and if I google that phrase all I ever find is the AP story. How do you reckon Livingston decided that this is "Monsanto's definition"? btw I think this is bad writing and shouldn't be cited anywhere, but I will not argue to take it out. We should be able to do better than this though.

1646:. I found that in a five second google search, so if it is not the best (I have no idea who or what the Hawaii Crop Association are, but it was mentioned in a "March" article so was relevant) then add another. I don't like the way this tag is being used here and don't think this article should be a defence of the technology. As long as the protesters claims are not being presented as scientific then I see no need to have the scientific opinion tacked onto this article. 1610:(if there is one) instead of just coming to a consensus that the article should carry tags indicating that there is a problem. The only scientific claims I see the article coming close to saying about the safety of GM foods is: "The primary goals of March Against Monsanto were to expose what protestors believe are the dangers associated with genetically engineered foods" and it's properly attributed to beliefs of the protesters. Why not use 31: 4146:

weight situation in favor of a factually incorrect claim. At this point, we may be better off keeping the partial list of coverage, with a quick line afterwards along the lines of "...although some media commentators claimed the mainstream media ignored the march." I was okay with just Hartmann and the list of outlets, since he's a fairly noteworthy commentator, but this is too far in the wrong direction.

1802:, it's actually completely false, misleading, fringe theory. That's the type of problem we need to avoid putting unquestioned into the article. No one, to my knowledge, is against including the claims of the protesters. In situations of fringe science, however, guidelines and policy require us to include the consensus position. When people remove that information, we run into problems. 1499:. This article is on an anti-Monsanto movement, and it is not being used as a platform for presenting of fringe point of views of any kind. There does seem to be some sentiment to include a large portion of text in the footnotes heralding the safety of genetically modified food. That effort is misguided, I think, because it is not needed to counteract any claims in the article. 4059:

of this material. They are opinions attributable to notable, reliable sources, noting more. Evaluating them for accuracy would entail you having to provide alternate opinions from other reliable sources. Because none exist, there is no reason to keep the tag or to implement the proposal under discussion. Your argument amounts to "I don't like it" and that's not good enough.

3853:, "The U.S. Department of Agriculture ruled last month that it needs more time to conduct detailed studies of new genetically modified corn, soybean and cotton seeds from Monsanto and Dow Chemical Co. (DOW) before approving their use in the food supply...These seeds 'may significantly affect the quality of the human environment,' the USDA said in a statement." 1529:

fact, there is basically no argument made for that point of view. Its existence is simply noted. If this was being used as a coattrack for presenting the anti-genetically modified pov then I would see the complaint here. Note that I'm not even getting into what is or is not "fringe." I don't think one has to get into that to see that the tag is not needed.

4549:

your arguments have been basically repeating irrelevant things that we already know implying that they are new to us. That's not so OK. Then you top it off with silly sounding insults like "Do you understand the difference?" and "I'm sorry if you don't understand this,". Why don't you lose those insults and just converse here?

685:

peer-reviewed journals actually provide least evidence of a broad consensus, often deferring this claim through citations to low quality non-peer-reviewed sources.) I hope that everyone interested in this issue will read the report and take action as they see appropriate. I have already posted the link (and preceding text) at

4650:

reported, well written, no factual errors, that nobody can disagree with) I actually found nothing. The AP story was pretty cursory and the LA times article was short and locally focused, and Jake's report on CNN was shallow and showy and had pretty much no digging. What did you find outside of those 2 and CNN? Thanks

1218:, agreed as well. I'm not sure there's a way to do as you ask, though, and it seems to be common practice in contentious cases to use multiple cites when necessary. We might be able to scale back as things die down or if a better omnibus source brings itself, but I'd prefer we not untag until we fix those issues. 1339:

as "reliable sources must be cited that affirm the relationship of the marginal idea to the mainstream idea in a serious and substantial manner.") is the problem. Hopefully you will work with those of us who are trying to get the article to meet the guidelines and policies of Knowledge (XXG) to come to a solution.

554:. It's hard for me to imagine that anyone can disagree with a presentation like this -- it presents their concerns neutrally and accurately. If some creation design advocate says "evolution can't explain " we don't print the quote on his biography, especially without mentioning the fact that it's wrong. 4035:

multiple media outlets covered them, but a) the sources don't say that and that's your own original research, and b) the Washington Post didn't cover them, they only published the AP's report and a photo essay which used photographs from AP and AFP. The link you've currently got goes to the photos, so

crops to tolerate herbicides makes farmers jobs easier, while increasing the public’s exposure to chemicals such as dicamba and 2,4-D that have been linked to reproductive problems...The best way to help alleviate hunger is for the world to reduce food waste, eat less meat, and restore soil fertility."

3088:. Also: many genetically modified foods that are "currently marketed" in the US are banned as unsafe in other countries. As North8000 points out, "safe" is an very imprecise medical claim that Knowledge (XXG) almost never makes. That the claim of "safety" has been pushed so heavily for this relatively 3908:

I think that the article took the direction of becoming a soapbox-via-coatrack of espousing the views of one side of the GMO controversy. Some balancing is needed. The best way would probably be a reduction in the repetitions of the statements of their position & talking points (via quotes etc.)

3843:

Your statement is false. The science consistently states that further studies are required because there have been no long term studies on human health. Risks of toxins and allergies are often cited as concerns, as well as the safety issues concerning the overuse of pesticides needed for GMO crops.

3757:

But Hartmann's claim is, at least to me, subjective as he's talking about the extensity of media coverage, so the objective fact of the existence of media coverage of the protest (your argument) is moot. I agree with you that it's undue weight to give one op-ed piece by Hartmann's the space of entire

2770:

If you give an inch, they'll take a mile. I've already been accused of being a paid shill for even considering that there's a scientific consensus, and including these caveats where they don't belong in this article is, while noble and understandable, doing more harm than good. When the argument is

2635:

I've re-added the assertions of consensus from scientific bodies to bring us in line with policy on the matter. As long as that's in place in some form, I have no further objections, for the record. Yes, North is right that this is likely to become a soapbox without vigilant editing, but it appears

1938:

I did it. I had originally reduced the number to two and had kept both because they had separate dates. One was dated 5/25 and one dated 5/26, and you were right they were nearly identical. (even though the AP puts the legend on not to change their text, people do! crazy). I used the earlier,

1410:

Please do not blank out entire sections with out prior discussion. The future plans for the march participants is certainly not an "advertisement" for them. Does anybody here actually believe that they are using Knowledge (XXG) to relay information? Also, there is no sound reason to keep blanking

1009:

I disagree. There is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMO foods because there is no evidence indicating any such safety, as there are no long-term studies on humans. The only evidence we have is a "lack" of evidence, and that's not how science works. I can't help notice how convenient it is

952:

which are an attempt to address some of the issues raised on the talk page, and which I would consider sufficient to merit removal of the fringe/fact tag. I hate to spread out the discussion more, but if you have any specific constructive comments on these edits this would be a good place for them.

4598:

I would just like to say again - after the March I spent several hours looking for RS to generate content from. When I say "RS" I mean really high quality, authoritative, objective, independent reporting that nobody could object to. Like what would be a produced if a NY Times reporter went out and

4058:

Gobbleygook, you were specifically asked not to stalk my edits, and I'm bringing this to the attention of an admin. Thargor, there is absolutely no support for your addition of the maintenance tag nor your proposed "remedies". What you consider "factually incorrect" has no bearing on our inclusion

3952:

We now have two sources with complaints about the media coverage in their own paragraphs, with a third complaining about coverage that showed the scientific consensus, with all of those claims being factually incorrect. I have restored the tag for the section until we sort out how to deal with this

3856:

Charles Benbrook, research professor at Washington State University’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources addressed Monsanto's claims in May. According to Bloomberg, Benbrook said that "plant breeding does much more to increase crop yields than genetic modification engineering

3742:

Maybe, but then it raises the question of why we'd be including it at all. I don't especially see why Hartmann's claim is noteworthy, but this was raised back when there was an issue of noting the actual coverage, which appears to have disappeared. The article, in its current form, handles it well

3602:

Good. Can you imagine what Knowledge (XXG) would be like if every statement would get tagged just because an editor did not think it was factual? As for the article tag, it has been said time and again that this article is not a debate over GM. Like the "Occupation" protests, it is meant to cover

3428:

More of your red herrings. What part of "Alternet shouldn't be there" aren't you understanding? The material is sourced to reliable sources in the current article and in the same paragraph. There are additional sources available in the news indexes. You continue to ignore the sources that support

2750:

I appreciate that you are working to make sure the scientific consensus is well represented but statements this broad are not helpful - they actually match the "straw man" that people who are worried about GMOs set up. The statement that "GM food is safe" is not true, stated this broadly, nor is it

2583:

I'm not seeing any potential for a coatrack nor a soapbox. Your advice is a prescription for disaster and follows the failed media equivalency model that the scholarly articles rail endlessly about, and the last time I saw it implemented was in the Tea Party movement article. This protest has eight

2339:

scientist Charles Benbrook, formerly of the National Academy of Sciences Board on Agriculture, directly countering claims made by Monsanto. It's a bit strange that you think it is preferable to cite a Monsanto lobby group than actual scientists. More to the point, the claims by the lobby group are

1953:

You removed the wrong source and you left in multiple copies of the AP source, so the problem is now worse than it was. You also added an older source which has since been corrected and superseded by a newer one. AP sources are routinely chopped up and torn apart in syndication, so the legend only

1907:

Associated Press source that should appear in this article. This is the full, revised version of the original story with correction. Currently, we have numerous uses of different versions of this source which confuses the coverage. I'm going to switch this to one single version per best practice.

1528:

No, a fringe point of view is not being presented. That's my point. Just mentioning it isn't the same as "presenting" it, detailing it. The parenthetical material and its lengthy footnotes would provide far more of substance talking up genetically modified food than is in the article knocking it. In

it in most major U.S. markets, according to Hartmann's & Bachman, and this can even be proven by going through the letters to the editors in the news indexes, and comparing the "why didn't you cover the protest" letters published in regional papers. But to get back on point, the opinions of the

the story. I found pretty much nothing except variations of the AP story which is pretty thin in itself, and the LA Times article, which they probably did b/c of the local importance of Prop 37. Try it yourself! I'm not stating judgements as to why there was so little actual coverage, I am just

4533:

disseminated as a wire source which was reprinted on many media outlet websites. This is not "coverage" of protests; it's an automatic news delivery system which promotes a singular narrative for consumption. A media business model does not supplant or replace actual journalism that covers actual

4246:

Thanks for your reply! Still a terrible piece of writing and the factual errors are real boners. Nothing in there about him being a media critic. As we are discussing above, pretty much the only coverage was the AP story, and that story does indeed say "Genetically modified plants are grown from

4231:

The point you are missing is that we have three opinions about the media coverage from across the United States According to his bio, J. Kojo Livingston is "an ordained Baptist Minister with over 34 years experience as a community activist/organizer/developer. He has created and directed youth and

4129:

I am not an advocate for the "factual tag". Thargor seems unwilling to state his issue clearly, but based on other posts he has made on this Talk page, I believe that his understanding is that the March was covered by major media (print and local TV), as per the partial list that is in the article

3118:

yesterday in another article, and it's worth sharing here. I don't want GM foods to go the way of other fringe theories where the articles end up under arbitrary discretionary sanctions because those who cannot accept the real world science continue to push fringe theories. We have an opportunity

3049:

Hi North8000. Great question. I have been trying to keep this clear, too. The scientific consensus is about food (in other words, stuff that humans eat and its risks to human health) and is not about crops (from which food is produced) and goes like this: "currently marketed food from GMOs is as

2077:

This article is about a protest not the GMO argument. If you are going to remove the Monsanto statement because you believe it to be highly dubious I can't imagine why you have no problem with the statements that the protestors have made that criticize Monsanto, which Monsanto and their supporters

1338:

I could care less what Monsanto wants. The fringe point of view that GM foods are not safe being presented without the consensus position of GM safety to clarify (in violation of WP:FRINGE's point of an idea "that depart significantly from the prevailing or mainstream view in its particular field"

1323:

and show me what part of this article violates it. Please quote the FRINGE guideline and quote the material in this article. I've asked you to do this several times and you've refused. The reason you have refused is because there is nothing in this article that violates FRINGE. What you are doing

1296:

The tag is appropriate (or was, I am all set but recognize others still are not) because of the fringe viewpoint regarding unquestioned presentation of GM foods as unsafe, which goes directly against the scientific consensus. You keep arguing that we are wrong, but have no evidence to support it.

994:

Agreed on both points. What I really would like to do for the cites is instead of have it read to just have a single like you would have in a paper. Does anyone know a trick to doing this? I similarly agree with you on the second point, but I've attempted to get the article to the bare minimum

534:

as to how we can describe the protesters' motivations (some of which may be plain wrong or distortions, some of which may reflect reality) in way that satisfies those who are finding problems with FRINGE. And without editors performing OR by critiquing those claims? The latter seems very hard

529:

As I understand the history of editing here, originally the people trying to write the article put statements of the reasons for the march in Knowledge (XXG)'s voice; these were rejected as being fringe or nonfactual, and then those editors resorted to putting quotes in, to try to accomodate those

258:

That the media gives way to fringe positions (like the Monsanto march and global warming denial) does not mean we have to push fringe views. Your citing of the Wilson/Akre situation is telling in this scenario, given their also-fringe viewpoints and the fact that they were fired for trying to push

238:

In other words, the U.S. media gave those "who tried to expose global warming as a fraud" dominant coverage, and they did the exact same thing by giving birther claims dominant coverage before Obama released his long-form birth certificate. What is interesting about your false analogy is that even

4619:

Let me be clear. There was little mainstream coverage by large media outlets. We can agree on that point. However, there has been a small number of smaller circulation coverage by local media outlets, perhaps a dozen or more covering major geographical regions. I plan on using this coverage to

4145:

I feel I've explained it very clearly. As of the time of writing, we have two long paragraphs bemoaning the lack of coverage of the march, which is easily disproven. We have one sentence that collects a handful of the hundreds of articles that covered the march, so right now it's a serious undue

3279:

I agree that the sources are poor, however it is not a case (as far as I can see) of doubting the accuracy of the sourced material (and I don't see it to read as an advertisement). Although some editors here feel this protest was well-covered, I'd say that it was not. But that does not mean, for

2013:

Using DiffNow (or any other text compare tool), shows that the USA Today and HuffPost stories are identical except for stylistic changes, such as the use of a percentage sign instead of "percent". Therefore, I'm going to link only to the USA Today version, which appears to have published the most

1586:

The "it's bad" statements are attributed to the protestors, so the article isn't making the offense of stating them as fact in the voice of Knowledge (XXG). But the article is glaringly missing at least mentioning the other point of view (that the current widely distributed ones are safe) and it's

829:

There are also other concerns related to GMOs. I think it is very simplistic to say that the scientific consensus it to state that there are no reason to worry about GMOs and that those who want precautionary regulations are a sort of fringe movement. Concerns for GMOs can it no way be compared to

510:

I take issue with the Dave Murphey quote -- as it reads, it implies that Monsanto products are in 70% of the food we eat, which is simply false. We know what he was trying to say (GM foods are in 70% of the products), but only because we did the research. The same thing goes for saying that M is

301:

Unfortunately for the position by Hartmann et al, we can point to plenty of media coverage, which is why the claim is untrue and is a fringe position. Factually speaking, the literature very clearly shows a consensus for the safety of GMO foods. One of the better blog reports on the matter comes

162:

It's also a fringe point of view, based again in an anti-corporate mindset, that there's some sort of concerted media blackout on the protests as Hartmann alleges. It's a common theme among fringe players ("the media won't give those who expose global warming for the fraud it is time," "why won't

4548:

Viriditas, in this exchange, you have exhibited a lack of recognition of what I was saying (that we're talking about a common (and probably the most common) definition of "coverage" /"covered" , not claiming that those organization went there themselves) which so far is a lack of recognition. And

4422:

covered the story. The opinions, as far as I can tell, are based on a lack of coverage of the protests by major media outlets. However, smaller outlets did cover the story. I've already explained what you would need to do to challenge these opinions, and right now, the best thing you can do is

1353:

The sources don't say that. Could you please cite me a statement from this article or from its sources that support your claims? I'm afraid they don't support your view. What you are doing is holding this article hostage to your POV. The article meets our guidelines and policies, and you have

1046:

There is no such "science", therefore it cannot be against me. Further, you have not provided a single reliable source saying anything about the safety of GMOs on humans because they have never been tested. Finally, the scientific literature is full of the health risks of GMOs, with new sources

475:

It's a complaint that's impossible to evaluate objectively, and so common that it's not particularly unique here. We already have several good quotes that represent protesters aims. I would be happy to include yet another, this one just happens to strike me as not adding a lot of information or

3727:

What about an acknowledgement of Hartmann's opinion without mentioning the content of his opinion? Instead of what is currently written in the "Media Reception" section, why don't you write something to the effect of, "and an op-ed piece by Thom Hartmann"? That position seems to acknowledge both

3661:

The only "direction" your discussion seems to go in is "I don't like X so we must delete it" at which point the progress that results is the unsupported deletion of material that you personally dislike. That's not acceptable and the material will be restored without your disruptive arguments or

2602:

As far as I am concerned, the reason for the Fringe tag were the statements (which I think no longer exist) saying that currently marketed foods from GMOs are actually dangerous. This is not a "Monsanto point" - it is the scientific consensus. There are not just two "sides". Others here have

1147:

The opposite is true. You added the tag and another editor tag teamed for you because you had already violated the 3RR. Since I'm not the one who added the tag, and I'm not the one who is arguing that there is "fringe" material in the article, I'm not the one who needs "evidence" to support my

AP story. The Guardian, Yahoo, and The Province published older and/or incomplete versions, which is very common with wire stories.

1557:

It's not a fringe position and there's no need to explain anything. Your misinterpretion of the fringe guideline also runs afoul of

3073: 2458: 2621:, for example. All relevant talking points are discussed in their appropriate context. This is neither a soapbox nor a coatrack. 801:

Meanwhile, we can come up with plenty of high-quality, scientific sources that prove you wrong. That's why the tag is there.

1982: 1857:

Right, the fact that it's not science is the problem. It's a fringe position that must, per guideline and policy, be noted.

3264:

This section keeps getting added back in. It's horribly sourced and reads like an advertisement. Why are we including it?

The fringe tag is not warranted because fringe viewpoints are not being presented in this article. It's quite that simple.

And their claim that farmers "produce more from their land" seems to fly in the face of evidence showing lower yields.

Could you clarify what you mean by that? It's not exactly clear (to me at least) what you don't have an issue with.

It's been discussed with absolutely no guideline or policy-based response justifying the tags, so I've removed them.
