 * Can you link the article you mean? And by terms and conditions do you mean the policies and guidelines?
 * I'll explain them simply:
 * Notability: It means that the subject you're trying to start an article about is noteworthy, and somehow important to be included in an encyclopedia.
 * Citations: We use sources to support the facts we add. They need sources that back them up, and we use them in the in-line style. Not all sources are acceptable, they have to be:
 * Reliable: It means that the source has integrity and can be trusted to a degree, such as a respectable newspaper. The source has to be authoritative on the subject.
 * Independent: A self-published source isn't independent, and carries certain problems, such as bias. A newspaper, again, can be considered independent, but not always. It depends on the source and the subject. Not all source need to be independent, but an article or section shouldn't rely only on first party sources.


 * What you write also has to be:
 * Verifiable: Everything added or removed (every edit) needs to be factually correct and accurrate. The information needs to be consistent and coming from a reliable source that anyone can check.
 * Neutral: Doesn't take sides, and reports the facts as they are.
 * No original research: You can't come to conclusion not explicitly stated in the cited source, and you can't mix the information from different sources then conclude something (called "synthesis". for example source A says "all skies are blue", and source B says "Mars has a sky"... you can't say "Mars' sky is blue".)


 * These are especially important when editing a biography of a living person.
 * Check Five pillars for a short summary of the fundamental principles. Good editing. —Hexafluoride Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk 20:48, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * To me it seems you may be looking for an old revision of the article on chronic fatigue syndrome. Those can be found in the page history. You can find (most of) the revisions from 2008 here. I would strongly advise you not to revert the article to the form it had in 2008, though. Such a major change, eliminating seven years of work, should be discussed on the article's talk page first. You will also want to take a look at the talk page archives linked at the top of the talk page; those maintain a record of past discussions about the article and may help explain why the article no longer looks the way it did in 2008.
