[edit] Hello, I'm Yeenosaurus. I noticed that you recently removed content from Chinese herbology without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Yes. We are biased.
[edit]Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, once wrote:
- "Wikipedia’s policies [...] are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals – that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.
- What we won’t do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of 'true scientific discourse'. It isn’t.[1] [2] [3] [4]"

Look, you're racist. You are the problem. You will reap the whirlwind and frankly, you deserve to. Racism has no place in a civilized society. Are you proud of your racism? It certainly seems so.180.150.68.232 (talk) 09:25, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
