your edit did not completely match your edit summary

You deleted cited material agreed upon by consensus and then replaced it with different text. Please explain. Quack Guru 03:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

There is majority consensus that the contemporary view be included, and you would seemingly agree since you are in favour of adding 'reform' chiropractors into the school of thought subsection. Reform chiropractors are indeed contemporary chiropractors, so I don't follow your logic. EBDCM (talk) 04:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

For example, you have a pattern of deleting references. Quack Guru 05:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

No, if you read my edits, by and large I add MANY references all of which are MORE RECENT and academically robust from scholarly sites or peer-reviewed research.

You edits, on the other hand... EBDCM (talk) 05:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

But you still deleted references without explanantion. Quack Guru 17:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

GQ, I took out some dated and weak references and provided newer ones that are more robust. Such is the nature of scientific inquiry.

The references were not weak and that is not a reason to also delete the content and replace it with something else. Quack Guru 19:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

If you wouldn't mind giving me your scientific credentials, I might be better to assess your credibility. However, based on the majority of your references and your ties to SB it seems that you're simply politicking right now. You also deleted my message to you on your talk page claiming it to be a personal attack when it was a simple note asking if you were editing in good faith. Hard to believe so when you call yourself quack guru.

Edit-warring

Hello. Regarding the activity on the chiropractic article: I've blocked Mccready (talk · contribs) for edit-warring, taking into account his history. However, you're also engaged in edit-warring. You're right at 3 reverts, by my count, with several additional borderline edits in the past 24 hours. I'm going to ask that you back off and slow down on the reverting. If there is really a consensus against Mccready's edit, then others will also revert him - there's no rush. I would strongly suggest limiting yourself to 1 revert per day, voluntarily, for at least the next week or two. MastCell  17:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Chiropractic article

Hey, EBDCM -

It looks like my edit to Chiropractic and your note on my talk page sailed past each other in the night; I already edited that sentence.

My concern, right now, is with the very vague word "some." The assertion that "some" chiropractors reject subluxation is inarguably true, but it has the potential to be misleading. I don't know if the words "a few" or "most" or "a sizeable minority" or "a large majority" would be better - I'm having a lot of trouble finding a reliable source on that question. My impression is that "some" should stay, but only until we're confident enough to replace it.

Like I said on the Chiro talk page: if you have a suggestion that isn't a revert of someone else's edit, by all means, please be bold and make it. --Hyperbole (talk) 19:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
