MSG

No, I'm not looking for a perfect solution. The problem is that you badly violated WP:POV with your edit. It's very simple: there are multiple studies, some showing that MSG causes obesity, others showing that it doesn't, all of equal weight. So you can't simply put in the studies that only show that MSG causes obesity. If you have any questions, please bring the matter up on the MSG talk page. sciencewatcher (talk) 08:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

after a quick google search of msg+obesity I can't determine where your opinion has developed from. If you truly believe that you're right about msg not being linked to obesity, then you will need to present the sources on the article in question for anyone to take your edits seriously. If they are legitimate sources then I doubt anyone will contest your edit, so please don't be afraid to do your part and contribute to Wikipedia.
First of all, you can't use google search for this - you need to use google scholar and/or pubmed. Second, all the sources are already in the main health effects section so all you need to do is summarise that section. I'd do it myself but I don't have time. Third, I'd recommend discussing at the article's talk page rather than here (so that other users can discuss). --sciencewatcher (talk) 06:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's more than understandable that you don't have the time to make proper wikipedia edits. However, wikipedians should never resort to making improper edits. That does mean that you can't hope to hold an idea "ransom" on wikipedia in order to get others to complete work that you want done for you.174.126.200.228 (talk) 01:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I should further point out that the perfect solution fallacy is a means of fallaciously rejecting an argument, not a means of pursuing a specific "perfect solution." So when someone claims that you have used the perfect solution fallacy, they are making a claim that your argument is invalid, not speculating as to the quality of the solution you desire. You should do some googling on fallacies, you might find it enlightening.174.126.200.228 (talk) 01:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
