Quote from: "pilchardo"I do, and I just did. What google allows is up to google, not you or I.

That doesn't make any sense.

Alrighty then.

The petition is getting spammed now, look at some of the names

Sadly, this is not surprising. Sigh.

Yet one more reason why it's not going to make any difference. It looks like Google

Scholar will stay as is. Oh well.

It seems to me that you're missing the point of petitions entirely.

If

Scholar wants to be taken seriously as a scholarly resource, they will have to do something about such sites. I've signed the petition. I hope it helps.

Signed, shared and tweeted. Done.

It's not up to me, Tank, it's up to google. I have about as much influence on what they'll include as you do. They've made their decision and I don't think your or I can change that. Sorry.

This is simply learned helplessness. You can't do anything because you don't think you are able. Working together, humans can accomplish some pretty big things.

Google realize how idiotic including these folks makes them appear to the world. They don't want to lose the share of profits that come from having more users worldwide. A site catering to Young Earth Creationists will only be appreciated by a tiny portion of the world's population. By including fantasists and Young Earth Creationists among scientists, Google Scholar. I'm sure Google Scholar is intentionally including.

Hopefully Google Myth and then they can put all this Religious stuff so people that are inclined that way can find it all and not have to wade through proven facts and stuff.

You can be sorry if you like. I'll keep banging away.
