Opinion: How Wikipedia is misused to censor real world informationCensorship in the real world isn't just about images or pornography, but often about suppression of political POV (think China, North Korea, USA, and Iran), and that's the type we are seeing here. It's extremely unwikipedian and undemocratic. In this instance it is an extension of the Koch brothers' well known fetish for secrecy, in which they use shadow groups and dark money to carry out their political activities. Since Fox News is on their side, mainstream coverage is limited, because they are successful at hiding and manipulating any coverage of their activities. Therefore any reliable sources from the opposing side (usually activists) are fair game for use as sources (per WP:PARITY) and should be used here. Why PARITY? Because when mainstream sources fail to deal with a subject because of successful censorship, we must use other sources, usually partisan activist organizations whose POV can be cited as their opinion. The same thing which applies to pseudoscience and other fringe subjects applies here. If we don't do this, their abuses extend to Wikipedia, and their real world political activities, much of which they seek to hide, are not covered at all. Arzel and others continually harp about our need to cover their charitable activities, but we already mention that and their charity balls and support of the arts. It's minimal and mostly directed at things which benefit other wealthy. Big deal. Their political activities do exist and need coverage. They learned long ago that democracy (one vote per man) does not work in their favor, so they are all about using their money to subvert it, and some editors wittingly or unwittingly aid them. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:34, 8 December 2013 (UTC) User talkpagesBullRangifer, you make a good point about Worldedixor's antagonistic and hostile attitude toward other editors. I don't foresee a good end if they continue in their unbridled battleground manner. But that said, they're allowed to remove stuff from their talkpage, and you're not supposed to reinstate it.

HelpHello! Please I need help. Actually am interested in working on genes. Great work has been done on human genes. Althou there are some that are still left such as MTF2 (metal response element binding transcription factor 2 [Homo sapiens (human)]) gene. Am interested in working on them and certain gene in aves (Chicken). Am so suprised that this template: { {PBB:geneid=ID} } didn't work for those genes that has not been published here. Can you put more light on that? Can you explain why? Thanks. Wikicology (talk) 00:00, 25 August 2014 (UTC) List of acupuncture pointsHello BullRangifer. This is Merriels. The following is in reference to the page "List of acupuncture points". I saw some misleading/incorrect information on this page. The statement "There is no anatomical or histological basis for acupuncture points or meridians" is patently false. In my daily work I am able to locate acupuncture points on a variety of individuals precisely because they are anatomical structures, which can be palpated on the surface of the body, and are located proportionately in the same places on every human body. The source of this statement is older than the source I cited, which, more recently, reviewed the evidence and found that imaging of the fascia of the human body produced patterns which coincide well with the patterns of "acupuncture points" laid out thousands of years ago in traditional medicine. If you'll allow me, I can cite several other corroborating studies. For now, I would like both competing statements to stand, or neither, as they are cited from equally reliable sources. Merriels (talk • contribs) 06:04, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello BullRangifer. I sincerely apologize if this is not the preferred method of communicating with you. I am brand new as an editor on Wikipedia and am unsure how to ping you. Also sorry for "edit warring". When I first came across the sentence about acupuncture points having no known anatomical or histological basis (which I know to be untrue), I left that sentence there, and merely added another sentence to point people in the direction of other information to the contrary. I referenced an appropriate review article. I was most unhappy that my first ever edit of Wikipedia was immediately removed, however I am not unreasonable. I am a state licensed and nationally certified acupuncturist, with a degree in Biophysics. Being very familiar with acupuncture, it is obvious to me that there is an anatomical basis for the traditional acupuncture points, as I am able to palpate them on the surface of any and everyone's human body. The Chinese word for an acupuncture "point" means more like "cave" or "hole". In my education, at an accredited four year school of Oriental medicine, I was taught that the acupuncture points are located in the fascia--oblong holes through which small nerves and vessels traverse between deep and superficial levels of the body. In this past week I haven't had a chance to do an exhaustive search of research articles to support this position. I wonder if you'd be interested in looking at the Wikipedia page on Helene Langevin. She has carried out much research in this area. When I read WP:MEDRS, I got the impression that citing single studies is not welcome on Wikipedia. What to do then if there is no systematic review? It makes sense to me in light of "neutrality" to present different sides of the "controversy". I see that you keep watch on all things "pseudoscientific" and I appreciate you protecting the scientific truth. However, I wonder if you have an inaccurate perception of acupuncture. I have seen it cure paralysis, neuropathy, autoimmune disorders, all manner of inflammatory conditions, and more. Something is going on with it. Would you please respond to me on my talk page, as I think I could find that : ) ? Any advice on how to become a responsible and helpful Wikipedia community member is welcome.

Thanks for collaborating... care to do a bit more?Hello Brangifer, I appreciate our back-and-forth with several helpful little edits coming from you on Template:Manipulative and body-based methods. I checked out your user page and see that you are someone who appreciates the critical thinking aspect of the Skeptic point of view yet sees a need for balance in terms of how that POV is executed in WP articles. Certainly some alt med articles have almost a rabid tone; I have been slowly chipping away at a number of articles to try to correct this issue by providing written sources to flesh out the descriptions of various modalities (though the lack of scientific studies is not something I can help!). Sometimes there are only a few very interested editors and outside, moderately neutral opinions are so helpful. Would you consider chiming in? The alt med article that seems the most heavy-handed on the Skeptic POV to me is Alternative medicine. It's such a big article with so many moving parts, I haven't even begun to interact with it much. Also I'm expecting it to be contentious and I don't wish to drive into the fray too quickly. So that would be a big-picture type issue. Have you been watching this page? On a much smaller scale, I'm presently in a discussion with two editors - one who is a hardcore Skeptic and the other who is likely more aligned with you (in terms of valuing encyclopedic content over any one point of view yet leaning toward Skeptic) - over whether a classic Skeptic source is a valid source for Rolfing - originally the article was very light on sources and at the time it was better than nothing. The source is Trick or Treat, which has four chapters each of which extensively cover one subject (chiro, acupuncture, herbs, and homeopathy). I've read the book a few years ago. It's a great source for those 4 topics, and for how to critically assess alt med claims. But it's not an acceptable source for the many modalities that are briefly "defined" with 1-sentence sound bites. The bit about Rolfing focuses on its stereotype (from the early years) for being heavy-handed yet doesn't mention the 10-session series format, or more importantly, the purpose of "aligning the body in gravity". It seems to have been written hastily, without research, from the author's mental impression. I wrote the author (Simon Singh) an email asking him about it and he was surprised that WP was citing ToT as a source, since there must be much better, more authoritative sources on Rolfing. I agree, but the two Skeptic authors want to hang onto it. The Skeptic POV is presently nicely represented by Carroll's article in The Skeptic's Dictionary, which has quite a bit of detail and seems to be largely accurate. What would be your opinion on this matter? Thanks!--Karinpower (talk) 18:27, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

SlightSmile 00:27, 8 September 2014 (UTC) Buteyko method Wiki pageThank you, BullRangifer, for your message related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buteyko_method. Following rules of Wikipedia, I posted a note on a talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Buteyko_method. My note is: "Clinical evidence claims that chronic hyperventilation is the norm in chronic conditions. This is a fact of science and a reminder to provide supporting medical evidence for anyone who has objections to this statement or continues to reverse the Buteyko page to claims that "this theory is not widely supported in the medical community due to the lack of evidence supporting either the theory ". The required clinical references can be found on the Homepage of NormalBreathing.com and includes measurements conducted by 100s of medical doctors on thousands of patients. It is not about who is right and who is wrong.

AGFAre you aware of any edit that user:WhatamIdoing has made that is not a good faith edit? If not why did you add "Reverted good faith edits by WhatamIdoing (talk): See talk. It's a very minor quibble and OR can't undo it. (TW)" as a comment to this edit? While such a comment may be useful when reverting the edits of an IP address or a new user, both to reassure the inexperienced editor and to inform other editors, if you are changing the edit of an established editor, I think such a comment is a breach of WP:AGF as you should assume that all the edit made by an established editor are made in good faith, and implies that you think the established editor makes bad faith edits (if not why add it the phrase with a link to AGF?). -- PBS (talk) 10:39, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Please could you assist me. I am being harassed by this user. He/She/It keeps imposing, and making others do it for them, their will on my talk page. I never archived any discussions, he/she/it made an administrator do it. All I wanted to do was clear my page - which is an acceptable practice - archiving is not required, nor wanted by me - everything anyone wants to know is in the history. I apparently did not do it right the first time, and accidentally moved the page as I wanted to delete the comments. I tried to have the page in question removed, while also re-integrating the history into the original talk page to satisfy the " can't run away from past mistakes " criteria that users like this need to have to " bring up past mistakes ". This person is edit warring, not following simple directives/common sense on pages, and is using my inexperience and other diversionary tactics to continue their behavior on my page and articles. Let me make this clear: I did not archive anything, did not want to archive anything, do not have to archive anything - it was done by another. If my actions are so detrimental to Wikipedia, then they can report me to the authorities, and let them make judgement on me.--NotWillyWonka (talk) 12:05, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

In regards to your commentBullRangifer, I completely agree with you. However, I was not sharing personal beliefs, I was sharing factual information for the benefit of the discussion. I was just concerned about how people treat the theory of evolution as a fact/law, but in reality, it is just a theory and there is not enough evidence gathered yet to make it a law, using The Scientific Method. I was trying to shed light on this and apologize if this came out as a bias or as a personal opinion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Deng Yu seems to publish quite a few. It appears (from a cursory view) that the cites are added by different IPs from China without comment.

Thanks for your input in the past; I don't always agree with you but I respect your approach and opinion, so I'm requesting your assistance. Three new Skeptic sources have been added to the Rolfing article; all 3 of these sources only mention the word "Rolfing" once, and only in a long list of alternative medicine topics. In each case, the author is making a blanket complaint about alt-med (though the grouping is quite different in each of the sources), and there is no specific information or criticism about Rolfing provided. The Skeptic's Dictionary is already cited, which is a much better Skeptic source, offering a full page of information and several specific criticisms. I believe these three new sources should be disallowed as they don't add anything about Rolfing. I don't think this will take much of your time, just a quick glance at each source and a few minutes to share your opinion on the article's talk page.

Opposition to immigrationI've replyed to your comment at the discussion page for opposition to immigration. - Olehal09 (talk) 22:15, November 23, 2014 (UTC) CansemaRegarding the "Black salve" wiki page, you need to explain how this sentence is scientific and proven: "The effectiveness of escharotics is unproven, and much safer and more effective alternatives exist, such as radiation therapy and Mohs surgery" This statement is self- contradictory. It is unproven how effective echarotics is, and it may be dangerous, but its never been compared to conventional cancer treatment. Even so, you will insist that its safer and more effective with radiation therapy and Mohs surgery. I would love to see your data from research on the comparison between the use of Black salve, radiation therapy and Mohs surgery. One of the side effects of radiation therapy: Source: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping/radiation-therapy-and-you/page9#SE12 "Radiation therapy to the brain can cause problems months or years after treatment ends. Side effects can include memory loss, problems doing math, movement problems, incontinence, trouble thinking, or personality changes. Sometimes, dead tumor cells can form a mass in the brain, which is called radiation necrosis." Necrosis is a severe side effect, its lethal and is only one of many you can get from radiation therapy. Surgey in and of it self can, in worst case, cause death. Even simple procedures do, on rare occasions. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/19/health/routine-surgery-complications/ Wikipedia is not a battle ground. Its an online dictionary and should be kept as such. I dont care if Black salve works or not, but I do care that unproven claims like the one you insist on having up there, gets by without having a citation to an actual study on Black salve vs conventional cancer treatment and which one is safer and/or more effective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yngvegil (talk • contribs) 19:51, November 24, 2014 (UTC)
Review request....Having noticed your interest in the medical field, I was hoping you would review Gabor B. Racz.

To me its clear that WP:BLPCRIME states that criminal charges should be dealt with extra care because of the repercussions that they can have to the subject. That is why I removed it from the lead, keeping in mind that the information is included and explained in detail in the proper section, as I explained in the talk. After that initial edit, I have only done one reversion, my last edit in the page, I also explained the reasons for why I did the reversion in the talk page. You yourself reverted me without any explanation in the talk page. That is fine, but the edit warring template is totally uncalled for, since I only did one reversion, and I did it following policy trying to improve the article, and posting the reasoning in the talk page. I will leave this issue on the hands of the big boys since I can see that there are enough experienced eyes on the matter,I could do it myself, but as a sign of good faith I ask you to remove the edit warring template from my talk page as I think it is undeserved.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:58, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

A search of the Politifact website (an equal opportunity critic and totally nonpartisan) pulls up 40 statements, with their ratings. As I said, they aren't always telling falsehoods, but most of the time they are. It covers two pages, so you'll have to click to the next page. -- Brangifer (talk) 02:41, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Vulva pageI would appreciate it if you could insert the reference to The Conversation article on the hymen correctly for me, as it provides factual information which dispels some of the myths about virginity tests. Such tests, interpreted on the basis of incorrect knowledge, can have serious consequences in some parts of the world. Mr Deskovic has just got out of a US jail after 15 years, after being imprisoned as a 17 y.o. Erroneous information about virginity testing formed a part of his trial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artistry9 (talk • contribs) 04:07, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
