This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

DS alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Electronic cigarette topic area. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Conflict of interest?

VapingFacts, the edits you have been making to the article Safety of electronic cigarettes are very one-sided - inserting opinions and arguing for the safety of the products. It makes me wonder what your connection with the vaping industry is? Please read our policy regarding conflict of interest. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

I would be seriously justified in asking the same of the original author. For example, the deaths in the US have NOT been confirmed, let alone via actual testing, to be connected to vaping or ecigarettes, as evidenced by both the CDC and the FDA.

How would I go about raising the issue of the original author appearing to be representing a connection to tobacco or pharmaceutical companies?
