Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Arnica appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. --Enric Naval (talk) 17:09, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moving on[edit]

You think I'm trying to exclude other voices. Vague comments are not helpful. You are trying to include unreliable references and do your own editorializing. You claim that I've been involved in disciplinary action on Wikipedia before. No. I have been harrassed many times by abusive admins and have been in many content disputes with people who intentially lie. QuackGuru (talk) 18:00, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, well, maybe I've misinterpreted things. You're welcome to discount anything I've said if it's not true. The takeaway message I was trying to relay is that I'd encourage you to think critically about your own opinions and allow other people to make contributions to Wikipedia.

I did not add my opinion to the article. I did not editorialize. I included some of your suggestions using reliable references. Article-building is based on core Wikipedia policies. We cannot compromise the article with unreliable references, editorializing, or duplication from other sections. If you have good ideas using the right sources in accordance with WP:NPOV it is likely your contributions will be included. QuackGuru (talk) 21:40, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You've made your point. I disagree with you. I haven't had my sources criticised in the past. Either way, this conversation is over. Kpaddock (talk) 22:37, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
