Naming
editI took the liberty of moving this page to Wikipedia:Don't "teach the controversy". Putting the phrase (or just the word "controversy") in quotation marks, as the text of the essay does, signals the reader to be cautious, perhaps not to take the phrase at face value. I thought the title should be similarly explicit in order to avoid giving the impression that real controversies don't belong in Wikipedia. Cf. "Weird Al" Yankovic. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 18:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
