Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Chair Yoga. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''You have already been welcomed and very politely warned to supply reliable sources, and you have done the opposite, charging ahead with your own unsupported point-of-view. That is not acceptable here.'' Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Chair Yoga, you may be blocked from editing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia's ways
Hi, perhaps it might be helpful to share with you some idea of how Wikipedia works.

I noticed your edit comment


 * "...As long as people were ill, injured or disabled, they made yoga accessible by adapting it for their needs in a chair or wheelchair, even if not formally called 'chair yoga.'"

As it stands, that is very likely true; but with two caveats, for Wikipedia's purposes both critically important:

1) People (readers, editors) cannot tell if is true because it is not supported by any evidence, in the form of citations to verifiable sources such as textbooks, national newspapers, or academic journal articles, reliable sources, which people can consult.

2) Practising something resembling yoga informally in a chair might or might not be similar to "Chair Yoga", but it is definitely not the actual practice of that name, as you agree with your "not formally called". That Chair Yoga may have been part of a long tradition is very possible; that similar things were informally practised, but not published; that yoga teachers even may have written about it under other names, it's possible though none of us have yet seen any such writings; but even assuming all of that, it's still not the same thing as "Chair Yoga", which alone is the subject of the article.

So, writing about those other things is off-limits. What limits?


 * Writing anything in an article that is a personal opinion is considered point-of-view.


 * Writing anything in an article that is argued from first principles is considered original research; it's forbidden.


 * Everything in an article must be cited to reliable sources. Anything else is at best uncited, and tagged as such; at worst, it's original research, and may be deleted immediately by anyone without notice.

One more thing (and I'm conscious this is quite long enough already): Wikipedians habitually discuss issues with articles on talk pages, whether a User talk page like this one, or an Article talk page like Talk:Chair Yoga.

I hope that this description of Wikipedia's approach may help you to understand the situation with this article. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:07, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
