[edit] Your bulk reverts of science on homeopathy
This is a request for you to explain yourself. You have reverted in bulk, obliterating my edits and the edits of others. In particular I complain that you deliberately delete scientific material and accuse me of POV editing. Let me assure you I am very open to the idea that there may be good science in homeopathy. In fact the Ann Intern Med. 2003;138:393-399 which remains on the page AFTER my edits is an excellent summary for the time. Mccready 18:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reminder: Assume Good Faith
Hi! I've beed watching the debate on Homeopathy. I would like to remind you that reverting in bulk is frowned upon, especially when the reversion[1] obliterates months of careful, consensus-based work. Please Assume good faith, and others will do the same. I note that you've been advocating your views on the Talk:Homeopathy, which is great! Keep it up. Try to build consensus for changes you think should be made to the article, and you'll be much more successful. Cheers, Skinwalker 19:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi. The Science section has evolved over a very prolonged exchange of very detailed arguments on the Talk page. Please look through the logs, and you will see I think that there has been a serious attempt to represent the consensus of scientific opinion, as represented in the best, most reputable, secondary sources. NPOV is not about presenting evidence for and against with equal weight, but about the consensus where this is verifiable from reputable sources. However the science section does acknowledge that patient reported outcomes support homeopathy, and does acknowledge that some individual trials show positive effects of homeopathy. This is a well researched, balanced, verifiable, well sourced section. As you should see also, I have been trying hard to avoid/remove anti homeopathy POV, we all have POV that we are blind to, but working together can help us to see this and avoid itGleng 10:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I don't mean to cut you off on the Lancet issue, I think you've raised fair points, and if you want to suggest a rewording I won't be obstructiveGleng 16:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
