Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides#TBD vs TBA for more details.

July 2017

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at George Gardiner (politician), you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 19:22, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Binksternet: That warning seems a little strong for what appears to be a good faith edit. Do you think I'm missing something? I realize you are using a template, but the wording suggest this is a continuing problem while it looks to me like a one-off issue and maybe not even disruptive.--S Philbrick (Talk) 21:47, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Royal Christmas Message, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2017 London attack (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

June 2022

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Why I reverted your post at Talk:Eugenics

It truly breaks my heart to read this, but you still cannot use the article talk page as a WP:FORUM. I hope that makes sense. If you have specific changes, backed up by reliable sources, which you would like to discuss, feel free to discuss them.

Also, since this is a user talk page, I'll offer this: I am just one person, but I believe that you have worth and value just as you are. People who talk about "genetic quality" are making subjective judgements dressed up like science. They are simply wrong. There is not and never has been any scientific rationale for judging one person's qualities to be better than another's. One set of qualities may be more fitted to a given environment, but if that environment were to change, another set of qualities might be favored. There is no absolute position from which to judge fitness apart from environment. And of course we humans largely create our environment, though by no means with perfect control. And then there is the mistaken view that homogeneity is always beneficial for a species. It isn't. Rather, diversity –– including neurodiversity –– is a strength. Eugenics is rightly described as pseudoscience because it ignores these and other facts. Generalrelative (talk) 02:11, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but it's not actually my own thought but arose from more than one person away from Wikipedia thinking this - I would have had sources at the time more so to back this up and may take more time to find where I originally found them now, would have kept a record if I had edited the article itself but I felt it was highly contested and therefore used the talk page. I therefore was not using the talk page as a forum for my own original thought, instead based on other people's thoughts not merely my own. Even if this may not have been obvious to people just reading the talk page. The general position is that it is still a fringe theory and wouldn't be accepted that it was mainstream. However, that is by the bias in the definition itself as if it was mainstream-accepted, the mainstream would then never accept that it was. So, by definition, it will always fail based on what is generally considered to be the case. Despite the fact the view is held by people beyond myself and does appear to have evidenced basis as much of the rest of society has fallen into groupthink, cognitive dissonance and normalization of deviance (again, not just my idea) - but, again, it is just exhaustive and would require hours of work for me to find all the sources to back myself up on this so therefore in practice I am effectively prevented from doing so, as we all have limited resources/ability.
