Note:  there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion:  research is the opinion of a researcher.  And anyone can be a "researcher".  Thus, opinions are indistinguishable from other forms of research - except that one could say "facts are research, and analysis is opinion.  [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]].  These are part of "research" but clearly marked.  They are often drawn from outside text, in the form of [[campaign]]s for and against some entity, such as [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]) or a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional.  An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research and those who provide it will often be engaged with the [[Lowest Troll]] to determine if the authors or transmitters or republishers are [[funded troll]]s being paid to trash or promote some commercial service.

==Opinions==
The [[Opinion Wiki]] is for [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]] but mere opinions of people. Mostly these opinions are stated as [[campaign]]s for and against some entity, such as [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]) or a piece of [[advertising]].
