Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Macrobiotic diet, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to complementary and alternative medicine, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

You broke the rules by removing my comment from the talk page, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines.

Perhaps you could put effort into actually providing full citations to support your edits, instead of trying to game the system and namecalling other editors?

Thanks. Not a similar account name (talk) 07:16, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Macrobiotic diet. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 07:19, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page blocks

You have been page-blocked from Macrobiotic diet and Talk:Macrobiotic diet for two months for persistent disruptive editing. You can request unblock from an uninvolved administrator by placing {{unblock|your reason here}} on this page. Bishonen | tålk 07:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

I think the "one or two cranks" comment is aggravating here.[1] It's perfectly possible to work through content issues without these kinds of personal attacks. Bon courage (talk) 08:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

If you continue to attack Bon courage on their page, as you did here and here, you can be site-blocked as well. Bishonen | tålk 08:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Macrobiotic diet

I have dropped you a reply on the talk-page [2]. If you read over my posts in that section I have provided good WP:RS that macrobiotic diet is a fad diet associated with numerous pseudoscientific claims. In the 70s and 80s people died from experimenting with the diet.

I realize that there is a watered down version that is more balanced but the stuff put out by George Ohsawa and Michio Kushi is potentially dangerous. The diet cannot be traced before Ohsawa, it is a recent invention. Maybe you haven't read Kushi's content telling people to avoid all chemotherapy and proclaiming his diet as a cure for AIDS. On the talk-page you made the unsourced claim that the macrobiotic diet is a traditional diet, that couldn't be further from the truth. My advice is to wait until your block is expired and not attack other editors if you aim to reply. In your posts you failed to provide a single reliable source. Read from page 58 to see the dangerous cancer claims from the macrobiotic diet [3]. This definitely fits the definition of quackery. You mentioned oriental Asians and the macrobiotic diet but provided no good sourcing. Most oriental Asians are eating white rice, fish and eggs, they are not following a restricted macrobiotic diet that bans dairy, eggs, nightshade vegetables etc. Psychologist Guy (talk) 18:13, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		Hello, thank you for your contributions. (Although I don't completely agree with your comments about [an]other user[s]; and I guess they may have been stemed from some misunderstanding.) I hope you like this :-) --Dustfreeworld (talk) 06:45, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
