Good day all, I was wondering about the use of headings in this section. I put the anthropology section under ‘Truth in Sciences’ for now, although I can move it if people feel it is more appropriate. Furthermore, some of the headings only have one entry under each, is there any way to remedy this? Perhaps wait for all entries to be completed before adding main headings? Please let me know what you think. Edgeofdawn (discuss • contribs) 18:10, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello! I think we should at least wait until tomorrow morning before writing headings, introductions and conclusions - as we need to see all the contributions. Macabre Roses (discuss • contribs) 20:29, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've gone ahead and written an introduction as the deadline is approaching, although I invite those who have yet to upload their entry to modify my introduction if it no longer fits the content. Also, would anyone be willing to write a conclusion to tie everything together ? Unadorablemensonge (discuss • contribs) 09:18, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi all, I have now added a short conclusion as this week’s deadline approaches. I am definitely open to anyone developing or adding more to it as they see fit, but I hope it will suffice for now. Edgeofdawn (discuss • contribs) 11:43, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for that! Macabre Roses (discuss • contribs) 13:59, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for writting the introduction and also I have added definitions to the different types of truth that are statend in the introduction as I felt like without the reader doesn't knwo what each one means and it becomes quite confusing once you start reading the entire article page.

Hi! just underlying that there are major differences in 'Medias' between traditional Medias and Social Medias that really translate in the notion of Truth. Maybe it would be interesting to distinguish them (especially when thinking of Truth within a discipline)Alwayslearningmore (discuss • contribs)


 * Hi! I was wondering what you guys think about having anthropology and psychology under the sciences? I feel like it's a bit misleading as people generally attribute the sciences to the natural sciences. I've changed it to social sciences but let me know what you think.

 * Hi ! I've just added a Truth in Humanities section, might be suitable for philosophy ? let me know what you think.Lmbs2506 11:44, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure who wrote about truth in media, but I was thinking maybe you could consider expanding on why it is important for the media to present factual information. Also, you've argued that it's the readers job to find trustworthy sources, maybe you could consider explaining why it is the readers job to find factual information rather than the job of the media to present the truth?

 * Hi! Thank you for your feedback, I will look into that. The reason why I didn't develop more those points was because of the word count... but thanks a lot for your suggestions! And for the fact that reader needs to find good sources, I don't know if I should add on to that because I think it is more about the liberty of speech and the liberty of the press than anything else. But also I think it will be a long topic to discuss, as there are many things to say about that.AmelieZ (discuss • contribs)17:29, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello ! I read the article on Truth in History and I found interesting how you said that it is constructed through many complex individual factors. However, I thought that the part about primary and secondary sources might have been more appropriated to the Evidence issue than the Truth one. I hope this helps !

Hello ! I loved the article on Censorship and Queer Erasure. However I feel the link to Truth could a bit more explicit for the article not to fall under the notion of Power Alwayslearningmore (discuss • contribs)
 * Hi, I also really enjoyed this section. I agree with what you have said and I have added some more ties and links to the issue of truth in order to clarify the concept that is being examined, as I also found that it could easily have been mistaken with the issue of power. Another idea I also think that would be interesting to explore and that relates very Cleary to the idea of "straightwashing" would be the idea of objective truth in the form of the existence a separation between gender expression, sexuality and gender identity, and how in many cases this very clearly universal truth is understood subjectively as a social construction that is formed independently in every culture. I feel as if this argument could really help to show the diversity in different types of truth and could even allow for the introduction of other disciplines such as biology and psychology, allowing for a truly interdisciplinary discussion of truth.
