Medical and quasi-medical citations
You may feel that I've been excessively zealous in reverting your contributions. The issue is that, even though we say that WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source, many people do rely on Wikipedia for accurate explanations. Consequently, the standard we have to set ourseves for medical (especially) and quasi-medical citations is much higher than for the rest of wikipedia: see Identifying reliable sources (medicine). So to cite a source that has a interest (financial or otherwise) is likely to be challenged. Body image issues can cause serious health risks.

If you would like a better explanation, please ask at the Teahouse. They may even say that your citation was fine and that I was indeed over-zealous. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:52, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

The "citation" you added was unambiguously promotional since it was entirely irrelevant to a rock band.

Hello, Celebmatthew. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Body Type, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:58, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
