Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Health at Every Size. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Natureium (talk) 21:37, 27 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am unsure how this breaches the formal tone. I do research writing as my job, meaning it must always be neutral. I literally paraphrased the principals laid out by HAES, which is not a breach of formal tone -- it is outlining the basic tenets of the subject of the article. None of that is my original thought. The current thesis statement on the page, on the other hand, is clearly biased. It draws a faulty conclusion based upon outdated WHO studies rather than citing direct sources. Please advise how I can change the current incorrect thesis to accurately reflect the HAES page, since paraphrasing their principals and attempting to remove faulty & biased information goes against your standards.

 * Hi. The notices are standardized and I chose the notice about keeping a neutral point of view based on what is reported by reliable sources. I'm not sure why the notice talks about "formal tone". Sorry about that confusion. I was intending to give you information about our editing standards. We don't describe an advocacy group in the terms they describe themselves, but in the terms that others use to talk about the organizations. Natureium (talk) 21:56, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
