Hello Chiropractor. My name is Orane (but I go by the name 'Journalist' on Wikipedia) and I am one of Wikipedia's Administrators. I just stopped by to say Hi and to formally welcome you to Wikipedia. Thank you for your awesome contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I know that being here for the first few days may be a bit confusing, but you'll get used to it pretty soon.
Here are a few good links for newcomers. I know that they can be boring, but I recommend that you take a look at them:
- Policies and guidelines
- What Wikipedia is not
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Manual of Style

- Welcome on board! I hope you can provide some good editing on the chiropractic articles. I'm a chiroskeptic myself, but hope that true and real chiropractic viewpoints are included in the articles. They of course can't be presented to "sell" chiropractic, but the viewpoints themselves need to be presented accurately, factually, and verifiably. Such viewpoints can easily be presented as "some chiropractors believe.....," or some such wording. Such statements will also need to be accompanied by verifiable sources, preferably from research or chiropractic publications, not normally from private homepages of chiropractors. I hope we can cooperate in this venture. It's actually quite interesting. Your latest addition about a majority and your comment about "real" chiropractors were both right on the mark! -- Fyslee 20:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh. Thanks for the welcome. Whilst I understand that scientists claim that they cannot find subluxions, I think the fundamentals of chiropractic require us to not only believe in them but to treat them. My experience, whilst anecdotal, shows to me that subluxions do cause all kinds of disease. I don't think the chiropractors who no longer believe in subluxions have any right to call themselves chiropractors. If you don't believe in Jesus you can't call yourself a Christian.

- Even though I don't believe in VS, I understand chiropractic, and you do too. The VS is the foundation of chiropractic: no VS, no chiropractic. A DC who doesn't believe in the VS - and who doesn't adjust for the purpose of correcting subluxations - is a chiropractor in name only. -- Fyslee 19:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
