Your recent edits
editHi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Original research
editRegarding this edit- it doesn't matter what you say your doctor says. Here at wikipedia, we use reliable sources, not the first-hand knowledge of our editors. Friday (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- Friday, this reference in my comment was not intended for the article, where I cited a reliable source (CDC), but against a reference comment of Mr. Arthur Rubin, which is falsifyable: Namely that NO doctor other than associated with the MRF thinks of another explanation than DP. In fact, the Department of Parasitology of the Medical University in my hometown has contacted the EU-equivalent of the CDC to inquire about this, on the basis of a few specimens of the manifestations. I am now waiting to hear what the official status of this is in Europe.--Ombart (talk) 19:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- OK. As soon as something is published, it should be considered for use as a reference here. I just wanted to make sure you knew that we can't use original research here. Friday (talk) 19:26, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Morgellons. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- This seems a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Dispute resolution it is. And I hope that the same goes for you.--Ombart (talk) 19:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Welcome
editWelcome!
Hello, Ombart, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Morgellons 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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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.
