I wasn't actually experimenting, I thought it would be a good change to make.

[edit] Verifiability
Andrew, it would be appreciated if you could hold off from making changes to the policy pages. In the case of WP:V, the changes contradicted the rest of the policy. We only publish what reliable sources have published. We don't use "truth" as our criterion, because everyone disagrees on what is true on any given point. So our policy is that if e.g. the London Times says it, we publish it and cite them. SlimVirgin (talk) 10:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Death
I point out to you that the other four quotes in the article are representative of the scientific consensus on the subject. Almost all experts in the field classify it as an urban legend, and not doing so is lending undue weight to the POV that fan death is a real phenomenon, and that lending undue weight to a minority position is against Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy. --Kuzaar-T-C- 12:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- Even so, if you read the first quote carefully, note that he categorically disbelieves in the phenomenon of fan death, thinking that it is, at worst, a contributing factor to the death of people with far more serious problems. That is the reason that I strongly believe that the article should refer to fan death- that is, death for which the fan in the room is the primary cause- as an urban legend. --Kuzaar-T-C- 12:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
