Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Opioid epidemic, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 12:05, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

There's plenty of sources I can provide. The information I provided is Scientific and medical facts. Whatever sources provided the original information is incorrect and misleading. This kind of information is causing an epidemic and lives of American people. Opioids are not the cause for addiction. Addiction is a mental illness with anything bringing pleasure or change in state of mind being the substance. Nicotine,caffeine or Alcohol are almost always the first drugs used by addicts. These societies, organization, colleges and even physicians falsely blame opioids for addiction and now this overdose problem if its even that, has caused a major epidemic in the pain society You should not have removed anything. I can provide resources. Saving lives is far more important than worrying about resources. I am a chronic pain patient that has fought this battle along with 100 million others. We are living human test subjects that can verify with our own experience that much of the information published about opioids is wrong. Frightening the public is wrong. Depriving humans of pain medication is inhumane. Even animals are given pain medication. If you allow false information, you should allow information from true chronic pain patients that know the truth.CDC wrote guidelines purely based on the biased opinions of Dr.Andrew Kolodony, The president of PROP and a shareholder of Suboxone. These guidelines were written behind closed doors without congressional or any approval. They cost many lives and the damage they caused continues because legislators are passing laws based solely on the guidelines. The Pain News Network has plenty of information about this issue. Once I get on my PC, I will provide numerous sources,scientific and medical evidence. The failures of CDC and much more. Leestarr (talk) 19:29, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Leestarr, be sure to discuss the changes and the sources on the article talk page first, and familiarise yourself with WP:MEDRS. Introducing content based on sources that don't meet the requirements outlined there will waste a lot of your time - it's not worth trying. Best GirthSummit _(blether) 20:03, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

And, having just looked at the content you wrote, please realise that you simply can't add anything like that to any article, ever. "We must not allow..." is advocacy - it doesn't matter whether you are right or not, we don't do advocacy, we don't write in the first person in articles, and we don't attempt to persuade the reader - we present facts in an encyclopedic, neutral tone. By all means contribute to the articles in question, but you need to be realistic about the types of changes you are going to be allowed to make. Best GirthSummit _(blether) 20:06, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
