  • WP:MEDRS - this is our guideline for sourcing health-relating content in Wikipedia - it tells you what "counts" as a reliable source for health content. Another guideline, WP:RS, describes what a "reliable source" is for other content.
  • WP:MEDMOS - this our manual of style, for how we write about health-related things.
  • WP:CONSENSUS - Wikipedia has plenty of policies and guidelines, as I mentioned, but really at the end of the day this place is ... a democracy? an anarchy? something hard to define. But we figure things out by talking to one another. CONSENSUS is the bedrock on which everything else rests. WP:BRD

Observations edit

Was attacked en mass in very impolite manner with people questioning very rudely my education and my viewpoint. Ultimately, I was blocked by Bishonen for stating in response to another accusation, that it would be naive to believe pharmacology companies do not have wiki editors just like politicians and other large companies. Although the block was for repeated personal attacks, that is the best quote he could publish...not very repeating. A two day hiatus will be a nice respite. It is clear now, with the censorship I've faced, why wiki is not considered a reliable source in academia.Dcrsmama (talk) 22:17, 3 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bishonen is abusing his blocking power. Has blocked under the guise of repeated personal attacks, yet cannot reference anything I have said in accordance with WP:NPA. It further appears I am being blocked for observations of a non personal nature, and making statements contrary to those with much time to patrol the pharma related pages.

I "cannot reference" anything, really? In my block message, I linked to an edit with massive assumptions of bad faith and accusations against your opponents on Vaccine controversies of being paid shills for pharmaceutical companies. Compare also this ("making it an advertisement for pharmaceutical companies") and this. As I already told you, the edit I linked to was merely the last straw.
Since you reverted my removal of material which I specifically told you you weren't allowed to have here, I have revoked your privilege of editing this page during the block. If you wish to appeal your block, please use this page. Bishonen | talk 13:16, 4 March 2015 (UTC).Reply
