Dear users 68.60.20.85, 66.20.28.21, ShepsleH, GreatLeapForward and AMoll. I notice you keep reverting the medical torture page. I also note you have arbitration request against your names, but hey, I'm willing to overlook that. I'll also overlook the fact you created the medical torture article after you got kicked off the Phil Gingrey article for adding NPOV material and continually reverting other Wikipedians' attempts to take it out. I have nothing against creating new articles, and I think medical torture is a subject worthy of its own article. Thanks for starting it.

I'm asking politely if you'd agree to discuss your views on the medical torture article. For example, why do you really, really have to have Phil Gingrey in the list of "Medical practitioners associated with torture" at all costs, with no explanation or sources? Why do you try and redefine the term "medical torture" to "whatever Phil Gingrey does"? Please respond on the talk page. As you've seen before, I'm more than willing to accept and even expand on additions to the page, provided there are credible sources. I'm also happy to accept any non-contentious edits you make, but please leave the NPOV boilerplate intact. Until you speak up and let me know why Wikipedia really, really has to call Phil Gingrey a torturer, I'll keep reverting your attempts to add him in. Trust me, you'll get bored first.
