Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bipolar disorder. 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. Thank you. -- Wiki Linuz  ( talk ) 22:35, 11 May 2024 (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.


 * Hi WikiLinuz,
 * I'm unclear as to why my edits were disruptive. They did not remove any of the previous content, they were elaborating on things that were already there based on very basic knowledge of bipolar disorder that is well understood among the psychiatric and bipolar communities. My edits sought to make the jargon approachable for the general populous, which is the whole point of Wikipedia, as well as to provide context to problematic stereotypes, especially under the extremely outdated prognosis section.
 * Was the issue simply a matter of citations? I initially did not include citations as my edits were mostly making the current content understandable to a widespread audience and added content was very basic and widely understood among psychiatric and bipolar communities. However, I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and I understand that citations might be required more on Wikipedia than in other circumstances. I'm happy to revert my edits and add citations to them, if that would resolve this dispute.
 * If I don't hear back from you here I'm happy to add this message to both your and the articles talk page as requested, but I thought it might be more appropriate to start here.
 * Best,
