How to cite.

Cool stuff

 * [[mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight|
 * [[mw:Extension:ImageMap|

Use an unique id. No two items on a page should have the same id. Example:  or

Example:

/(> - <)\/ *.o An emoticon with their eyes shut. They are throwing glitter.

I decided that two repeats of "An emoticon with their eyes shut. They are throwing glitter." is less annoying than 100 tttttt.

Pseudosciting
✅ Pseudoscientists don't seem to know how to cite scientific studies that back up their statements properly. Perhaps the reason why they can't cite well is because they are scraping for bits of evidence that actually support their side. Or they are just in denial. Or they consider science itself to be highly flawed and use other 'better' ways of collecting evidence.

Pseudosciting will include:
 * small/ preliminary studies
 * non-controlled, no placebo, non-blinded studies
 * misrepresenting studies
 * citing anecdotes
 * ignoring good evidence
 * only reading the abstract
 * bad statistics citing

Fluoride isn't poison
An article from Mercola, a prominent supporter of the fluoride conspiracy theory, says that fluoride doesn't prevent cavities.

Here are their references:
 * Personal Liberty September 7, 2016 cites the same review as the article and other debunked studies about the dangers of fluoride.
 * Natural Health 365 September 4, 2016 states that fluoride is dangerous. False. The Australian Goverment reviewed the safety of fluoride two times in 2007 and 2016. It was concluded that adding fluoride to their water supply was perfectly safe.
 * PR Newswire August 30, 2016 is a real doozy. This requires their own section.
 * Fluoride Action Network, FAQs The quoted text was "Fluoridating water supplies can thus fairly be described as a form of mass medication, which is why most European countries have rejected the practice." Those European countries use alternative methods such as adding fluoride to their salt.
 * U.S. CDC, ADA, Water Fluoridation is only cited for to be attacked.
 * The Cochrane Library June 18, 2015 Correct. Fluoride is not 100% proven to reduce the rate of cavities.
 * Newsweek June 29, 2015 is an accurate article but is only cited to spread fear with a quote mine.
 * PR Newswire August 30, 2016 still needs own section.
 * Personal Liberty September 7, 2016 is an article about the dangers of fluoride. It's false.
 * Cancer Causes Control. 2006 May;17(4):421-8. doesn't say that fluoride is toxic. Is only cited to add creduability to a lie.
 * Personal Liberty September 7, 2016 same article cited.
 * Environmental Health Perspectives 120(10): 1362-1368. is a study about fluoride overdose. The amount of fluoride added to the water supply is very low. You will need to drink at least 10,000 glasses of fluoridated water at once to overdose.
 * "Weston Price Foundation September 23, 2010 is a conspiracy site.
 * J Environ Biol. 2009 Sep;30(5 Suppl):859-64. Humans are not rats. Selenium is not proven to work for dental fluoride and maybe dangerous. He can't use one low quality study to sell you a supplement. By that logic, fluoride is the most effective treatment against caries ever.
