Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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!

Notice[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

You misread my post. It should be removed on the basis that it is wrong. I have watched all the videos. There are no claims made. Peacheyreader (talk) 16:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please disregard my reply (it didn't intend to post it here) Peacheyreader (talk) 16:51, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read wp:npa and wp:vandal. Accusing users of vandalism needs a lot more evidence than "I do not like it".Slatersteven (talk) 13:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will read them. But you reread my post. I said it should be removed on the basis that it is wrong (not that I don't like it). See I have watched all the videos. There are no claims made. I'm trying to make a contribution to the quality here. Peacheyreader (talk) 16:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a problem with the page content. I cannot amend it because the page is locked. I'm just trying to help here:( Peacheyreader (talk) 16:58, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was not and is not vandalism, and yes saying "I watched them and I disagree with what wp:rs are saying" is saying you do not like it. It is not vandalism to add material you do not agree with because you have done personal research, that violates wp:or.Slatersteven (talk) 19:11, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you are understanding what I am trying to communicate. It seems I cannot help to improve this page. Peacheyreader (talk) 19:26, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We have policies, I am saying that what you want to be able to do goes against them. Yes we go by what RS say about the videos, not how we interpret them, that is a core policy (wp:v). If you are unable to make a policy-based argument you will not get very far (read WP:NOTDUMB).Slatersteven (talk) 19:37, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You most certainly will now get your way calling good-faith edits vandalism, especially they are more policy-compliant than your suggestions.Slatersteven (talk) 19:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
