https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Naturopathy&type=revision&diff=700234316&oldid=700163445

RE your very arrogant 'edit note' to your reversion of my ONLY edit thus far. If you ever use language like that towards me again on the edit table I will simply have to report you. You don't seem to realise how utterly wrong it is, so at some point you will need to be told. It combines incivility with abusing Misplaced Pages's core values. It leaves a stink and ultimately works ''against'' the encyclopedia. It's bullying really. So will you please not do it again? You have no right to say "No." to my edit - or indeed to any editor such as myself. You also frankly have no real right to say what "helps" or doesn't in this area regarding a specific edit like mine (do you realise what that sounds like? It sounds like you have a particular agenda to be frank.)

And it is very-much you who has been "vague" here, not me. You cannot properly tell me what I've done wrong. My new text was not 'vague' - it was balanced. It's about avoiding obviously-biased negative generalisations over what is clearly a collection of different disciplines. 'Naruropathy' is clearly NOT all the exact the same shape of rubbish, so why pretend that it is? It clearly varies! For more here, see my talk page regarding my silly 'warning' (for making one single edit for Christ's sake - I hope you two don't tag-team with each other). Some of the sources used in the article do not use the same encyclopedic standards as Misplaced Pages (why would they? Sources rearely do). We quote information, not linguistic style or approach. The context is always different for a start.

If you can't see that my edit was at-least well-intentioned then I'm sorry but you must be blind. It was also a <u>perfectly good</u> (and needed) edit in area I can only assume you must hold a certain degree of bias towards (or against it does seem). But that is beside the point. Misplaced Pages is supposed to be an encyclopedia, and therefore must use an encyclopedia approach with fully encyclopedic language. Misplaced Pages is not a tabloid newspaper, nor even a broadsheet for that matter. It's an encyclopedia. Full stop. So few people seem to understand that here. ] (]) 20:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
:Your edit made the lede suggest that only some "forms" of naturopathy are pseudoscientific and that some "forms" have been shown to be effective. That isn't what the rest of the article says, so for one thing, it's an unsourced assertion, and for another, it brings the lede into conflict with the rest if the article. If you have evidence from reliable sources that some form of naturopathy is effective and scientific, then by all means take it to the talk page/add it to the article. You also might want to have a look at ].
:I never said that your edit was anything but in good faith, and I don't know why you're suggesting otherwise.
⚫ :While you're here, I'd like to remind you that ] aren't acceptable on Misplaced Pages, and that threatening to report other editors (even for strong language like "not helping"!) is really un-hoopy and not ]. ] ] 20:43, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

:::I'm afraid you just cannot treat another Wikipedian the way you did to me. It's insulting and it simply invites criticism - and it's not surprising to me that you respond to my reaction by using ] and calling it a 'personal attack'. I find that very antagonistic too, and feel you are playing your deck of 'WP' cards here. I'm sorry but it's just not right.

:::It is very obvious indeed that there is no evidence to suggest that 'Naturopathy' is any ''one thing'' either way! It's not any one thing at all. It's not using 'Weasel words' to address that fact. You simply ''cannot'' make the statement that "Naturopathy is ineffective". You know damn well that there are plenty of crossover areas where herbs etc show varying positive effects on health. In the cases where those 'herbs' have shown unique-enough results to have been taken up by conventional medicine, it doesn't remove them from the world of herbalism I'm afraid, rather-sketchy though that world can certainly be lot of the time. But with a collective term (ie Naturapathy) that covers things as broad a 'field' as homeopathy and herbalism and acupuncture, that's the way it goes. Some of it shows up good at times - you really have to deal with that somehow. And how many herbalists etc are also exponents of homeopathy I wonder? Some are I'm sure, but the article effectively says that all these presumably-crazy people are into the same things by default! You just can't say that.

:::If there is any fault in my edit at all, it's in trying to keep all of the existing negatives and generalisations intact. Any decent content-writer will tell you that the constant problem with finding the right words is keeping people like you from 'auto-reverting' the changes to their favourite Points and their favourite lines. But if you know something you don't really like is an awkward fact, for God's sake don't just deny it - or demand it has to be merticulously cited either. You should really have a look yourself before you go reverting anything. If you have the energy to revert you should have the energy to examine. You should then be able to confidently say "There is no evidence!" - not "You have not fully citing!". Especially in areas where the citations need to be bland counter-statements relating entirely to Misplaced Pages's own context. They are a nightmare to find because people don't live like that. The record per context. What there most-definitely is "No evidence for!" is your claim of a "scientific consensus" that everything that can possibly come under the umbrella term 'naturopathy' is "inefective"! Yet you compile your out-of-context quotes of generalising statements, and you present your completely-developed and refined conclusion as a commonplace 'consensus' or truth. You actually fail ] when you do that. But you are not alone in that, and it's a sin that Wikipedians get away with all the time in these particular areas.

:::The simple truth is that you just cannot effectively control this whole area (generally called 'CAM') the 'tough' and 'minimalistic' way you want to. It just doesn't work. And I often wonder if you don't exaggerate the enemy here anyway. Some people seem to see anti-scientific 'monsters' where there are simply often-very unwell people looking for possibly-effective medication that actually works for them. It makes me so angry when I see people very-likely to be like this being treated roughly like they are trolls. The only way to stiffle the real trolls (or stop the IP editing in general) is to try to get the ''text'' as right and balanced and as fair as you can. All according to Policy. Which does means at least some element of balance and fairness I'm afraid. Then you can far more-easily deal from there with any of the various IP's and whatnot that may remain. Surely you can see that? What is fair on Misplaced Pages usually doesn't get played with. It's bias ''from all sides'' that messes things up. Currently you are using excessive control (actual textual control too) - and unsurprisingly you have trodden on someone who is willing and able to fight back.

:::And as a coda I'll say that I think that 'CAM patrollers' need to be just a bit more enlightened about IP's and newly-formed accounts too. I expect that many of you tend to see them both as possible sockpuppets and biased fools, but I am sure that most of them are not. And I've been really harrassed by both in the past - so that is not actually that easy for me to say. If you want a lot of them to just go away, endevour to deal with these articles ''properly''. I am sure that a good many the problems 'anti-CAM' patrollers fight every day they essentially create for themselves. A true Misplaced Pages cynic could almost say they like to 'fight the good fight' with an 'ever-present' enemy, and are not really interested in improving their routine at all. But I'm sure that's not the case here is it? ] (]) 03:27, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

:*Hi, ]. I thought it would be easier to reply here since you left a similarly toned message on your talk page to my lvl 1 warning. I don't think your sentiment is constructive in both messages, and I find it unhelpful to suggest escalating to ANI without discussion with me and ]. I placed the warning on your page because I understood that to be an appropriate action given that I saw that you are not a newbie and that your edits were not constructive on an article that is known to be subject to vandalism and POV pushing. Your edits augmented the language of well-sourced material in ] and Pepperbeast and I seem to be in agreement. ] (]) 20:57, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

:::Firstly ], I've asked you ''very clearly'' to make your reply to me on ''my own'' Talk page so I can keep our conversation together - it's just yet more bad manners from you to simply disregard that. Secondly, I'll take this somewhere higher - probably ANI, tomorrow if I can. You simply '''CANNOT''' give a Misplaced Pages Warning (of any 'level') for a harmless sole edit like mine. You need to be ''told'' that in no uncertain terms, and clearly from someone you are obliged to respect - ie an admin or hopefully two. You have just got it so wrong here. I wonder what rule book some Wikipedians read sometimes. Not the one I did, that's for sure.

:::Also, if you could see that I wasn't a 'newbie', then why on Earth did you point me to the 'Beginners guide to referencing'?! How does that help anyone here? How does a giving me a Warning actually help? It's just the act of a bully isn't it? Both of you. I'm afraid that you've heavied on the wrong person here. I am also rather worried that you both 'tag-team' irresponsibly too - and in a very-negative way for Misplaced Pages. So I'll see you both somewhere else too.

:::As you can see, it is my opinion that behavior like yours does not help Misplaced Pages at all. It's foolish, souring, unkind and basically hinders the 'project' I'm sure you claim you support. In my view your attitude risks upsetting and completely putting-off new editors (how can that be good?), as well as turning away older ones stepping back in and having a look around, which happens not-infrequently I'm sure. You need those people to come back, not turn away again shaking their heads. This subject is also an area where many people who get involved are simply not well. I suspect that this type of behaviour has become far-too prevalent too, and it was always around. To be frank, I'm not so sure that the job or 'label' of "Patroller" is a good one for just anyone on Misplaced Pages to have. Perhaps it should be given and potentially-removed, like rollback? It can be argued - though not to any legal effect I'm sure - that 'heavying' (I'm struggling for a better term) on normal everyday people like this is effectively a manner of online bullying. Some people will come here entirely in good faith, and they must be just so shocked at how they are treated. Is it fair if they are unwell? And is this really how Misplaced Pages wants to present itself? Does anyone ever think like this here apart from me? Why do things never seem to change? ] (]) 03:27, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

January 2025

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bgsu98 (Talk) 05:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Convenient tag for a section name.

A simple convenient tag was added to a long section name which contained some special characters too. Your edit is not constructive in this sense. Riteze (talk) 13:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
