Hi, you asked for help about how to edit articles in Wikipedia. The short answer is: As you have a POV (Point Of View) that other editors disagrees with, you can only make your edits stick by writing the articles in a NPOV (Neutral Point Of View) way. If you want to add your POV you can only do that by refering to a RS (Reliable Source) that support your claims. The Wikipedia rulesbook gives a strong pro-establishment bias. Government sources as the FDA, The New York Times, FOX News Channel and JAMA are considered RS while almost all blogs, independent researchers and acitivists web sites are rejected. Try to find an RS that support your claims. Academic peer reviewed articles are usually accepted. Look at how other articles are written, such as Aspartame controversy, Opposition to water fluoridation and Dental amalgam controversy. MaxPont ( talk) 08:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi.. the advice to stick to reliable sources is good indeed. But, leaving that aside for a moment.. is there any credible mechanism by which dietary MSG could affect the body differently than other sources of dietary glutamate? Glutamate is present in a great many foods. People who react badly to dietary glutamate would have serious problems with a great many foods. There's no obvious chemical difference between the glutamate in food with added MSG versus the glutamate in foods that already contained it. If there's to be any sense made of the MSG controversy, this is a key question, I think. Friday (talk) 18:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Also if you want to make lasting contributions here, you might consider changing your user name. Many of us have learned by long experience that editors who put the word "truth" in their user names are rarely willing to pay attention to other people's opinions, so it tends to generate bad reactions.

I'm editing the MSG page to a NPOV if you're interested. I noticed you on the Glutamate-flavoring page. Alrich44 ( talk) 23:57, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
