The website independentsciencenews.org is not a reliable source, much less a WP:MEDRS. At Mòjiāng virus, you've disputed that WP:MEDRS applies, but there has been a broad understanding that scientific claims about SARS-CoV-2 and CoVID-19 are to be held to a very high standard of sourcing. The independentsciencenews.org article you've added to Mòjiāng virus (diff) and cited at Talk:Wuhan Institute of Virology (diff) promotes the idea that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a laboratory, which is a WP:FRINGE view. Medium blogs (such as the one you cited at Talk:Wuhan Institute of Virology: diff) are also not reliable sources for claims about the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Please stop using or promoting the use of these sorts of sources in CoVID-19-related articles. -Thucydides411 (talk) 10:38, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
The edits I've made are not WP:FRINGE, please take a look at WP:FRINGENOT Shturmavik71 (talk) 10:34, 5 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm going to escalate this issue, because the promotion of SARS-CoV-2 conspiracy theories and the use of conspiracy-theory websites and Medium posts as sources is not acceptable on Wikipedia. I am confident that the community will back me up on that. I'm giving you a chance to self-revert and stop inserting this material before I do so. -Thucydides411 (talk) 17:33, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
As i said in the talk page, I've replaced the original source with a peer-reviewed paper. right now the sources backing my edit are "The Times" , "ScienceMag"X2 , and a published and peer reviewed paper.
Please do escalate, you will have to exaplain why you keep reverting the page to a state that clealry misreprents the facts, because your protecting wikipedia due to your definition of what a conspiracy theory is.Shturmavik71 (talk) 18:02, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Please stop adding content irrelevant to Mòjiāng virus at Mòjiāng virus. Henipa (talk) 19:03, 15 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Please stop reverting content without addressing it in the talk page

Do you wish to make a statement at DRN? If you do not make a statement, I will close the case. It may repeat what you have already said. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:19, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
