Ai Weiwei
Hi Pablo!

I reverted your edit to the Ai Weiwei article and I wanted to explain why. You wrote, "Having seen Ai Wei Wei's CT and MRI pictures in the film Never Sorry, it is clear that this is the condition he suffered from. This fits with the chronology of the head injury and subsequent headaches. I am a practicing Neurosurgeon." I am reluctant to inform you that your explanation is pretty clearly in opposition to one of our core policies called No original research (You might also review Verifiability, Reliable sources, and Medical Reliable Sources). I am sure that you are being faithful and that you have the capability to accurate diagnose what you saw in the film. Still, Wikipedia requires that the information in our articles be summarized from published sources with a public reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. We simply cannot take the opinion of an individual professional into account. So, what can you do if you think the article is in error? You could contact a newspaper and explain your views and hope that they publish an article about them. You could try and 'reframe' the language to involve more attribution; for example: "His condition, diagnosed as a cerebral hemorrhage..." Note the word, diagnosed. Where there is doubt among reliable sources, sometimes stating something in a less 'plain-fact' type of way is appropriate. Still, you should find other similar articles which raised doubts about the diagnosis, ideally. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you stick around Wikipedia for a long time. We need well-trained, thoughtful people like you! Ocaasit &#124; c 15:48, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
