This article addresses potential objections to the model of Ikwipedia, beyond any objections that also apply to Wikipedia, particularly regarding concerns about testimonial accounts.
Q: Won't allowing testimonial accounts regardless of corroboration lead to a collection of baseless allegations that, for example, aliens were involved in everything? Couldn't Ikwipedia's rules potentially lead to it becoming a repository of uninformed speculation based on false claims?
A: Ikwipedia is committed to maintaining a neutral point of view even with the inclusion of minority viewpoints, consistent with our hypothesis-based motivating philosophy. If a previously published sincere testimonial claim has information about a topic that, if true, is worthy of being in an encyclopedia article about that topic, it can be cited, and people can judge based on the attributes of the claim. Assertions based on testimonial claims are not baseless.
