== Blind to the elephant in this room == 

 A few editors here have been acting as if they do not see the elephant in this room. Even if they really cannot see its big, imposing form, they surely should smell the peanuts on its breath. The elephantine point they continue to ignore is their failure to find ANY reputable source for the dubious information they insist on adding to the Demkina article. So instead, they continue to defend the non-reputable sources they've come up with. However, the pachyderm in this room is too big to be ignored. 

 The fact that they are unable to find any reputable sources for the claims of the young Russian quack is that her claims are only grist for the mills of the sleazy newspaper tabloids, like the one they insist on citing. 

 A century ago, German physicist Wilhem Roentgen announced his discovery of an invisible form of light that can be used to see inside of human bodies. At first, his announcement was met with skepticism and even accusations of fraud. But in literally a matter of a few months, Roentgen's discovery was published in a major science journal, was widely replicated by scientists throughout the word, and was publicly hailed as the monumental discovery that it was. 

 Fast forward one century:  a Russian school girl claims she can use a mysterious vision to see inside of people's bodies and diagnose their illnesses. A Russian and then a British tabloid touted her claims alongside articles on haunted houses, alien abductions, and the finding of Noah's ark. The tabloids announced a discovery that, if it were true, would be far greater than the one Roentgen announced a century before.  

 So where are the scientific publications that reported the "experiments" "scientists" performed on this girl that were described in the tabloids? Where are the reputable newspaper accounts on one of the most remarkable phenomena ever discovered that could benefit humankind even more than the discovery of X-rays?  They don't exist, for good reasons. As Wikipedia rules and guidelines acknowledge, reputable publications fact check. They do not willingly participate in the promotion of frauds and hoaxes - especially fraud that can harm sick people. Sleazy news tabloids and countless self-published personal web sites have no such scruples. 

 The founders of Wikipedia and the vast majority of Wiki editors have those scruples. And that's why efforts to ignore this elephant are not going to succeed. Wiki guidelines instruct editors to avoid using dubious sources of information - like newspaper tabloids and self-published material on personal web sites. They tell us that if something is important enough to report, editors should be able to find it in a reputable source, and that it is preferable to wait until reputable sources have had time to review or comment on claims made in non-reputable sources. In other words, they tell us to watch for the elephant and not to pretend it doesn't exist. The few here who inisist on citing personal web sites and sleazy news tabloids would prefer us to ignore the elephant.
