Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Removal of cited text

[edit]

You removed text cited to the Skeptical Dictionary. Various discussions have agreed that this is a reliable source, it is a website but is also a published book. You seem to have removed it because you don't like it's POV, point of view, but that in itself is not an acceptable reason. Please read WP:NPOV. Thanks.

December 2012

[edit]

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Zecharia Sitchen. If you believe that all other editors are corrupt, you should just leave. Fighting everyone else to "right great wrongs" is not tolerated in a cooperative project. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:00, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A summary of site guidelines and policies you may find enlightening

[edit]

However much you believe in Sitchen's work, that doesn't mean it will be portrayed as truth. Reliable academic secondary and tertiary sources do not accept it as such, and so it will not be portrayed as such. Mainstream science criticizes his work, and so the only mention Wikipedia has to give him is that he is criticized by mainstream science. Wikipedia only reflects the views of mainstream science, and no amount of complaining is going to change that. It has nothing to do with "personal corruption," it is part of a site-wide social contract. If the majority can be blind and corrupt, so can the individual, especially when they're not a trained professional with regard to the subject matter.
