I'll try to explain a bit what is going on. I agree with [1] because that was all sourced to the primary source, the book. In relation to WP:ABIAS, WP:PSCI and WP:WEIGHT, this was also undue (one could consider it apologetics of a fringe view and original research/synthesis of the editor who summarizes the primary source). This is also why secondary sources are much better, they did the interpretation for us, if we chose reliable ones then that's the message the article should portray. — Paleo Neonate – 14:11, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
I completely reject the claim that there was any "original research/synthesis" on my part.I'm not saying that there was, but that's a formula that is flawed in allowing it to occur. — Paleo Neonate – 20:22, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Your editorial summary was just fringe apologia.:
No, it was not. It simply described what the book stated.But the book itself is only that... — Paleo Neonate – 20:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Calton with this edit you altered the infobox to list the book's subject as "AIDS denialism", with the comment, "No, the book IS AIDS denialism". It is true that Lauritsen argues that HIV does not cause AIDS, and in that sense I suppose one could say that the book is "AIDS denialism". That does not make it correct to list "AIDS denialism" as the book's subject. Doing so implies that the book is about a movement called "AIDS denialism", which simply is not the case. The book discusses AIDS as its main topic, and although it is of course partly concerned with the activities of groups and individuals who deny that HIV causes AIDS, they are not its key focus. I appreciate that you made your edit in good faith, but the information you have added to the infobox is incorrect. FreeKnowledgeCreator ( talk) 03:50, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
