A: Yes. Wikipedia reflects the consensus of reliable independent sources. Mainstream scientific sources are preferred when addressing topics related to science and technology. There is overwhelming consensus that the chemtrail conspiracy theory is a false and implausible narrative.
A: No. Those things are superficially similar but the core premise of the chemtrail conspiracy theory is the false idea that there is a widespread covert plot to drop chemical or biological agents from aircraft, and that long-lasting contrails are evidence of this.
Q: Why is Wikipedia suppressing the truth?
A: It isn't. Wikipedia reflects empirical fact as documented in reliable independent sources. We will include any fact that is (a) published in a reliable source and (b) demonstrably relevant and significant. Material that is excluded is not being censored or suppressed, it just fails to meet our criteria for inclusion. If your proposed content is rejected, bring more and better sources. For guidance on what constitutes a reliable source you can ask at the reliable sources noticeboard.
What do you think that link should be used for in this WP-article? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not OP but it's pretty obvious what they want. Emdosis (talk) 02:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They want "The Commission has investigated the matter with the Spanish authorities and found no evidence of the allegations of a military geoengineering scheme for changing climate in Spain." to be mentioned in the article? Seems off-topic. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:35, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That gives me "We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing." vibes, but ok. Emdosis (talk) 13:14, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? It is a question to the European Parliament about some claim about Spanish meteorologists, based on one dead link and one link with a lot of text that does not seem to say anything on the subject of those meteorologists. It is just the question, without any answer. I do not see what text we could add to the article that could be ased on it. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:52, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah! Thank you. Then it is a nothingburger instead of nothing. --Hob Gadling (talk) 10:56, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
