Hello Palpable, I was banned from the topic of COVID-19 origins last year [1], and may soon be banned from Wikipedia completely [2]. I saw your recent edits to 2022 monkeypox outbreak and I wanted to bring your attention to WP:MEDRSNOT, which I recently wrote but will likely soon be deleted or userfied. I would appreciate if you, StN, Mhawk10, Mr Ernie, Gimiv, SmokeyJoe, SmolBrane and JPXG could expand WP:UNCERTAIN and propose it as a WP:SUPPLEMENT to WP:SCHOLARSHIP on WP:VPP. Completing this draft and incorporating it into our WP:PAGs will be far more productive and impactful than arguing with strangers online. If you require policy guidance, try pinging DGG, Wbm1058, or Boing! said Zebedee, and maybe they will respond. Thank you. CutePeach ( talk) 15:59, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
I resonated with your User Page entry "Wikipedia was my favorite thing on the web. Until I started trying to contribute." I had a similar experience in 2020 editing and then walked away from both contributing and donating. It is unfortunate that in many cases, Wikipedia is just another repository of mis and dis-information zealously guarded but what seem to be troll editors. I discuss some aspects related to this: https://bachrachtechnology.com/wp/troubles-in-the-universe-of-the-mind/
I also appreciated your comments and perspective on the Feldenkrais Method Talk page.
The current article is incorrect, mis-categorized, ideologically biased and out of date with respect to current peer reviewed literature. Prominence is given to irrelevant sources like surgical oncologist, David Gorsk who made some snide comments on his Blog. From reading his blog and other writings, he does not seem to appreciate Medicine is both an Art and Science.
In a recent communication with an academic in the Health Field,
This has encouraged me to try again and go through the escalation process.
Wikipedia is not supposed to be an information resource that redefines subjects or the meaning of words.

You have recently edited a page related to COVID-19, broadly construed, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.
