Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to pseudoscience and fringe science, 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:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

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.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did to Electromagnetic hypersensitivity, you may be blocked from editing. Articles on Wikipedia do not give fringe material equal weight to majority viewpoints; content in articles are given representation in proportion to their prominence.

I've blocked an IP for block evasion [1] Acroterion (talk) 01:43, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Actually, @Acroterion:, it's a partial block for the article and we expect Bokidam to discuss. @Bokidam: please be sure to log in when editing so it does not look like sock puppetry. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:49, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Aha, I misread the block notice. @ Bokidam, please log in if you want to edit the talkpage. While you're at it, please review WP:MEDRS and the talkpage archives, where the same issue has been addressed numerous times. Acroterion (talk) 01:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I cited evidence from primary and secondary studies in peer-reviewed journals, and two cases where EHS was upheld as a reason for workers' compensation or disability in two countries from a book that cited these occurrences.
Please let me know what else you require from me to justify my changes. Bokidam (talk) 09:29, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please discuss content and sourcing on the article talk page, after reviewing WP:MEDRS and the talk page archives. You are new to Wikipedia, and should probably gain experience in areas that are less difficult and contentious. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:33, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia policy states that evidence should come primarily from secondary sources. Evidence for EHS comes from the secondary source (Pall, 2016) I cited.  Pall summarizes the most common symptoms following EMF exposure from 22 epidemiological studies.  Some of the most common symptoms were among the most common reported by EHS sufferers in Roosli (2004), as referenced in the existing Wikipedia article.  These included sleep disturbances, headache, fatigue, concentration dysfunction, and dizziness.
As for the melatonin studies, I can remove them, as they have not been directly linked to EHS. Bokidam (talk) 19:06, 20 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
That's nice, but you need to post this to the article talk page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:51, 20 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
