Welcome!

Hello, Hermelyn Meinardi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Ozone therapy, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! tgeorgescu (talk) 17:34, 1 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dear Mr. T.Georgescu, You mentioned you're a Dutchie? I am from the Netherlands! Living in Italy since the year 2000. Thank you for your words. I do want to be helped by an experienced edior in the field of contentious subjects. I am a medical doctor with a diploma in Tropical medicine and 28 years of experience both in conventional and complementary medicines (osteopathy, very contentious indeed). One of my teachers in osteopathy, a specialized medical doctor in sports medicine, uses ozone therapy since the 1990's. First I was sceptical. But when a university Master II level was opened at the university of Verona in Italy I participated to learn more and understand why my teacher in osteopathy always got better results than I did. It was a fascinating voyage and I was rather shocked when a friend of mine pointed out the wikipedia page on ozonetherapy. In Italy ozonetherapy is used in most hospitals especially for EBM-grade A indications like discal ernia, and knee arthrosis. Wikipedia is supposed to give objective information and I like to collaborate on the subject of Ozone therapy. At the moment I can't find back the list of editors that can help to comply to the wikipedia rules. Could you please resend a link? Thank you very much, yours sincerely, Drssa Hermelyn Meinardi Hermelyn Meinardi (talk) 12:36, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
There is no such list. If you want to receive friendly input, see Wikipedia:Teahouse.
The ground rules are explained at WP:MEDRS. See also WP:LUNATICS (no offense meant, but it is good to know Wikipedia's default stance).
Oh, yes: it is easier to publish medical claims in The Lancet than in Wikipedia. tgeorgescu (talk) 12:48, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Dear Mr.T.Georgescu,
Thank you so far,
Would you be be so kind, (after easter holidays) to check out how I would like to see the page, integrating all other information already on the page and respecting the code of contentious-page-aware?
Before publishing and getting blasted off by the bot again?
Most sincerely

Wikipedia is merely a mirror which reflects the medical orthodoxy. Convince the medical orthodoxy, and Wikipedia will follow it. tgeorgescu (talk) 13:55, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
ok, Thank you! So will be. Hermelyn Meinardi (talk) 13:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. tgeorgescu (talk) 17:41, 1 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
