Hello RKOwens44, thank you for your contributions. I would like to mention that Wikipedia has [[WP:GEVAL]] discouraging the use of false equivalence. Sentences like "maintained the agency's official position" suggest that it's only the public narrative of an organization (implying conspiracy theories of suppression, etc.) when it's actually a reminder about the current state of scientific discoveries. —[[User:PaleoNeonate|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#44a;text-shadow:2px 2px 3px DimGray;">Paleo</span>]][[User talk:PaleoNeonate|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#272;text-shadow:2px 2px 3px DimGray;">Neonate</span>]] – 09:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC) |

False balance on Wikipedia
Hello RKOwens44, thank you for your contributions. I would like to mention that Wikipedia has WP:GEVAL discouraging the use of false equivalence. Sentences like "maintained the agency's official position" suggest that it's only the public narrative of an organization (implying conspiracy theories of suppression, etc.) when it's actually a reminder about the current state of scientific discoveries. —PaleoNeonate – 09:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
DS notification
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 pseudoscience and fringe science. 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.
