Welcome!

Hello, Jvsthere, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to User talk:76.171.132.146 does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  tgeorgescu (talk) 17:39, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

The WP:CLUE to understanding WP:NPOV is WP:NOTNEUTRAL: "Wikipedia's neutrality is often misunderstood as giving equal validity to mainstream and fringe views." tgeorgescu (talk) 17:55, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Listen to my advice

Listen to my advice voluntarily before admins impose a topic ban.

You don't get to decide which are the WP:RULES we should follow.

You are welcome to edit here, but you must do so within our guidelines, asking you to do that is not bullying. Slatersteven (talk) 15:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia has its own rules. Take time to learn our rules. You don't get to dictate how we do things around here. We are WP:NOTDUMB.

You're WP:Wikilawyering about WP:MEDRS as if it could exist in total isolation from other WP:RULES. Wikipedia has a British Constitution model, and MEDRS is just one of many of its pillars.

If you are seeking to remove the label of pseudoscience from acupuncture, you are simply wasting your own time. Let me make a certain prediction: your attempts to that extent will fail, as similar attempts from previous editors have failed and similar attempts from future editors will also fail. This lies in the nature of Wikipedia, proudly expressed at WP:LUNATICS. tgeorgescu (talk) 06:40, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
