Importance of sources

[edit]

Thanks for your efforts at Multiple chemical sensitivity. Unfortunately, they had the effect of removing accurate information properly supported by a reliable source, and substituting claims from the pro-MCS advocates without any supporting references or any effort to distinguish between what advocates say is true and what can be verified.

For example, there is no evidence that MCS is triggered by previous exposure to any chemical: it's a (barely) plausible story, but there is no evidence for it, and there is a good deal of evidence that it's a case of the extremely common post hoc ergo propter hoc cognitive error -- the same mistake that women with breast cancer make when they say, "Oh, this tumor must have been caused by this extremely stressful event six months ago," just before the doctor says, "The biopsy shows this has been growing in you for at least ten years, and probably much longer than that."

Please feel free to work on this and other articles, just with good reliable sources to back up your claims. Happy editing, WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:42, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Multiple chemical sensitivity has been reverted.
Your edit here to Multiple chemical sensitivity was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd9wcWqO3Ww&index=25&list=PLMAz9ZRXjYmoXSabQE54w0DhZ28y11mEO, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfJfxBDSm9g, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qWLM7pMR2E, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOdO5bpSJaY, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz6tTObAv_0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhy4DNuvyTk, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBHZiOCF1QA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NlSw-XisIo&t=257s, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq90WKHlaVM&t=36s, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16Vx5-pZBNw) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
