Self-published encyclopedia
[edit]@Irath2024 In response to your post on my Talk page after I undid your addition of a reference to a self-published book. "Does [the book being self-published] provide you the right to remove it anyway?" Yes it does. "Great books are self-published and this is the case of this one. I have read it and it is." Wikipedia isn't a book review site: you want Goodreads. Maybe the book is a well-written or maybe not. A positive online review from an unknown person does not make something part of established knowledge; we look to peer review and to reputable publishers to establish that. For all we know, you could be the author of the book. Take a look at the guidelines at WP:QUESTIONABLE for more about Wikipedia's policy on sourcing.

- Established knowledge? It is up to the readers to establish knowledge by having access to maximum references, not you. They are enough smart to select one reference or another. With a view like yours, Arxive would have closed long time ago, yet thanks to it many domains have progressed so fast by opening for free so many publications.

- The software platform that Wikipedia runs on, MediaWiki, is available for free. You can download it or find a hosting service, then run your own online encyclopaedia without Wikipedia's requirement for reliable sourcing or its prohibition on original research. If you're going to stay here, please learn what this community is trying to do, through the introductory links which have been shared on your Talk page and here. This is another friendly warning that if you're here to tell us our policies are wrong and that you want to ignore them, you'll be wasting your time and the community's.

Cognitive bias in article
[edit]There appears to be a cognitive bias to me in the first statement made in this article. It claims cognitive bias is a systematic deviation from norm, when on the contrary it is often the norm to be cognitively biased and most people are shown to be irrational in a lot of cases. https://eujap.uniri.hr/rationality-in-mental-disorders-too-little-or-too-much/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S136466132100125X Kuzmanovic, B.; Rigoux, L.; Vogeley, K. (2014-01-14). "Brief Report: Reduced Optimism Bias in Self-Referential Belief Updating in High-Functioning Autism". Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. 49 (7): 2990–2998. doi:10.1007/s10803-016-2940-0. PMID 27757736. S2CID 254571982.
I'd therefore put it that cognitive bias is not a deviation from norm as the norm is to have cognitive bias and is not a deviation from rationality as people that are more irrational are the ones more prone to having cognitive bias, rather than people strongly suggested to have enhanced rationality. I have put this here as I am not sure how to amend the article, if indeed it even needs to be amended. My thoughts may be considered to be original thought and therefore Wikipedia biased against including this in articles. aspaa (talk) 07:58, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
