editHello, I'm S0091. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Institute for Creation Research seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 06:46, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Institute for Creation Research, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 07:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

editThank you for leaving me a note asking for an explanation as to why I reverted your changes to Institute for Creation Research due to neutral point of view. If you read the policy, it explicitly states Wikipedia should indicate the relative prominence of opposing views. Your edits removed a great deal (if not all) opposing views, thus did not comply the policy. I encourage you to read the articles talk page so you can see for yourself some robust discussion about the content. Further, if you have any affiliation with institute you have a conflict of interest and should not edit the page directly but rather make requests on the article's talk page. This is suggested even if you do not have conflict of interest as any controversial edits should be discussed with the broader community in order to gain consensus. I hope this provides some clarification and again thank you for reaching out. S0091 (talk) 23:57, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Your comments about other editors, eg " As I have stated time and time again (apparently to so called editors with a lack of logic and tending towards the pseudo-intellectual)" are disruptive to collegial discussion
editPlease assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Institute for Creation Research. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Doug Weller talk 19:29, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Doug, I understand what you are saying and agree. However, it is very apparent no one was looking to improve wikipedia, merely reinstate what had already been understood on Wikipedia's positions. So the initial assumption was as you said, however quickly became obvious they aren't here in good faith (or most on that talk page). 73.217.43.51 (talk) 15:37, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Just because you didn't get your way doesn't mean we're not here in good faith. We can be here in good faith and completely disagree with your attempts to censor the article. We can be here in good faith and see that your complaints are obviously ultimately rooted in a desire to have the label "pseudoscience" downplayed (if not removed).
