Diabetes
editYour constant addition of links to the video risks, I feel, being seen as disruptive to the wikipedia process.
- The claim, even if true, is with regards to type 2 as far as I could tell and therefore does not belong under DM type 1 article at all.
- The opinion seems a minority POV - read WP:NPOV, yes minority opinions need to be included but they do not warrent equal space or prominance in articles as conventional majority opinions and trivial minority opinons need not be included at all.
- Is a video a suitable source for an encyclopaedia to base its statements upon (see policies of WP:Cite from WP:Reliable sources in order to WP:Verify) ? A peer-reviewed journal article about a controlled study might be better.
- Is the claimed process that different from the articles already stating that lifestyle changes of diet and exercise are required, to warrent trying to push that "cure" rather than "significant improvement" by diet is obtainable ? i.e. would forcing those people into a camp to have a standard conventional dietitian-advised balanced-diet and exercise, rather than normal junk-food, have worked as well as the "raw" food claim of the film ? No one disputes unrestricted eating is a bad idea in diabetics, but does the film have a control group of conventional restricted balanced-diet to justify its special claims? Wikipedia is of course not the place to carry out debate itself but to report on an external sources. So again are there better sources than a video to give further information and support to the idea ?
- Several editors have now repeatedly removed the link. Whether this is right or wrong, wikipedia works by consensus. May I suggest therefore that rather than just adding the link repeatedly, that you start a discussion at the talk page Talk:Diabetes about what you are trying to add (ie both the claim itself and the sources cited for this).

S
editPlease
Unblocked
editYou were permablocked on 24 December for ongoing trolling despite warnings. You have sent me an email indicating that you will start editing constructively. I have therefore unblocked you with immediate effect, with the understanding that you may be reblocked anytime you edit in a manner regarded as unconstructive by administrators.

Isidor
editMaximilian Harden's first name wasn't Isidor. Isidor was a name the German antisemitic right used as a tag to signal someone was Jewish. Goebbels used it extensively for the vice president of the Berlin police, Bernard Weiss. Maximilian Harden was his pen name. Neither was he Polish but he was born in Berlin, as far as I know.LeaNder (talk) 22:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I didn't remember this. Now I have answered this more extensively on my own talk page. LeaNder (talk) 15:08, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Ilya Ehrenburg
editPlease don't insert fakes into this article. --Mautpreller (talk) 12:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- While that was a more or less correct translation from Russian, please read WP:SOAP. This citation hardly adds any value to the article.Biophys (talk) 03:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- You know exactly what I mean. What is now quoted is more or less correct. But the "rape quotation" you inserted before is a well-known fake.--Mautpreller (talk) 09:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Your recent edits
editHi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
RE: My Apologies
editNo problem. I personally don't think Wise's ethnicity is very important, but I also don't feel that he should tell Wikipedia what should be in his article, nor do I think that his article should be treated differently than the thousands of other articles that include ethnicity.
