Hi
I have been asked to update the Cryonics article by one of the key people in the Cryonics Institute.
The Institute is very concerned by the comments that the article has multiple issues and that the neutrality of this article is disputed.
I have made changes that I hope will satisfy the committee so that the article can be renominated.

- Based on what you've said here, you have a conflict of interest. Your disclosure here is perhaps satisfactory, but it should appear on your user page, which you haven't created yet. If this editing is in any way associated with your job, if you are being paid, there are stricter reporting requirements at WP:DISCLOSEPAY.
- Because of your COI, you are asked to not directly edit the Cryonics article but to use the {{edit request}} template on its talk page to request changes. Your edit requests need to cite sources for the changes. For instance, substituting "body" for "corpse" is possibly a controversial change, so you would need to explain what appears in reliable sources to justify it. Perhaps it is just a preference or perhaps it is a violation of the euphemism policy.
- Please review the information at Talk:Cryonics, particularly the notice about discretionary sanctions. Information you have added to the article has twice been reverted by other editors and, as far as I can tell, you have not engaged with them on the talk page to discuss your reasoning or justification for re-adding similar material. I also suggest reviewing the archives of the talk page, since some of what you are trying to change has likely been discussed before. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:04, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions for complementary and alternative medicine
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 Complementary and Alternative Medicine. 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.
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. Bishonen | talk 16:23, 26 March 2019 (UTC).
