Your edits
Sorry, I should have given you the above welcome message earlier. Thanks for your contributions, but I'd like you to read through our policies and guidelines as cited above. Your edits seem propaganda, and wikipedia is not a soapbox. Hope you stay around. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, just a quick friendly note - please refrain from editing other people's comments on talk pages. The thought is appreciated, but even when just correcting spelling or spacing it is still considered rude. Be seeing you. - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 16:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. I was reffering to your edits to Roundup. You first entered a number of links to the greenpeace site (while there is already a linkfarm which needs pruning), and then you added "Among the Large numbers of health risks with Roundup are non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a form of cancer, reproductive damage as well as damage to the kidney and liver, it may cause cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nerve, and respiratory damage, including Parkinson's Disease." to the text. That entry seems propagande, not encyclopedic, linked ('referenced') to consumers sites (in this case not verifyable info, as the original data is inaccessible) and google searches. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Please try to edit in a more neutral way, and reference the data to reliable sources (see Reliable sources, Citing sources and Footnotes). Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article David Miscavige, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 00:25, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Btw, I fixed the article, added back that info, w/ proper sourcing. Also, Slashdot. :P Cirt (talk) 03:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Pseudoscience. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Scjessey (talk) 00:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Vaccine controversies
Uncited leads are justifiable. As far as I can tell the citations you are requesting are covered in the body of the page. Current formatting is in keeping with the lead manual of style which states "Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material". If you consider this unacceptable, please update the lead with the in text citations, rather than requesting what is already on the page. Millionmice (talk) 06:09, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree. Also follow BRD, so start a discussion on the talk page. -- Brangifer (talk) 06:13, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if this is the correct place to communicate with you about the vaccine controversies page. I, too, believe the page is very prejudicial. Please go back and take a look and give me any advice you may have. Thank you. Dcrsmama (talk) 20:08, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
