WP:FRINGE and WP:NPOV

edit

The above are two important policies you should keep in mind while editing articles such as Orthopathy. Please discuss the changes you want to make on the talk page of the article. Please don't remove sourced information from WP:RS (quackwatch has been found to be a RS several times by community consensus). By NPOV and FRINGE, articles on fringe topics such as this need to be balanced with critical and mainstream appraisal, and must not give WP:UNDUE weight to the claims made by advocates.

Also, once an edit is reverted you should discuss it - not restore it (following WP:BRD). If an editor restores material multiple times they can be blocked for editwarring (WP:3RR). Verbal chat 17:04, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, or removing valid information sourced to WP:RS, as you did to Orthopathy, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Note I removed the parenthetical aside you added as it broke our policies; see WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. To show good faith, can I ask you to revert your last edits that removed sourced material and introduced formatting errors, and discuss what changes you want to make on the article talk page.
