Etenne--how come in the following phrase in the article:
referred to as a "nude photo" or a sexually explicit photo
the "sexually explicit" is in bold rather than being a link? User4 (talk) 14:38, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- I am not sure what you are asking. I looked at it and I was still not able to see a formatting problem. However my comment is that this is not a definition as much as it is an explanation and it is not written in a way that is anything close resembling a neutral POV. --Etenne

- The "bolding" thing disappeared. Strange. Must be a software bug.
- As for a "neutral POV", Wouldn't a (so-called) "neutral" POV in an article about the (pseudoscience) of astrology require that astrology not be referred to as a pseudoscience?
- Wouldn't a (so-called) "neutral" POV in an article about the (pseudoscience) of divining through reading tea leaves require that divining through reading tea leaves not be referred to as a pseudoscience?
- Wouldn't the above be a huge disservice to the public by furthering the myths of the (in fact, false) efficacy of astrology and tea-leaf reading? User4 (talk) 16:17, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- No because you could find an authoritative reference to support that position. that it is not simply your opinion but it is supported by the facts. --Etenne 16:22, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

- You can find "an authoritative reference" to support anything at all. "The facts" are those things which may be empirically established using valid scientific methods.
