Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Is my porcelana edit off topic?
2. Is the Neverland Picture off topic

Historyhorror brought back a paragraph stating Jackson's extensive use of porcelana, another statement sayy "I wondeer what came first Vitiligo or lighter skin?" Vitiligo is caused by the lack melanine, i.e. the skin loses color and can't tan anymore, solaquin has the same effect. But porcelana does not have that effect because skin can tan. I tried to point out the difference, to avoid the impression porcelana caused Jackson's vitiligo and added some ifo on porcelana. I tried to pint out that vitiligo patients seek shade to avoid sunburns and posted a pic of Neverland showing lot's of trees.
