I think you may have placed a comment in different section than you intended,[1] which is easy to do. Perhaps it belongs better at the end of "MEDRS example", where we discuss a review? I have a response, but I first wanted to check with you about which thread it should go in. Will Beback talk 21:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

K., thanks for compiling that list of sources. It makes the matter easier to follow and the decisions easier to settle. I agree that there are systemic problems with the articles in this topic. It looks like a further step in dispute resolution may be necessary, such as an WP:RFC/U. It best to go into these processes with clean hands. Thanks also for being patient and civil with other editors. Will Beback talk 14:01, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Unfortunately I'm afraid with orgs like the TM Org, it appears all of the TM-related entries are plagued by TM true believers who simply collude to create a faux-consensus, effectively blocking any edits but their own. Edit war or a collusion of quiet consensus, whatever you'd like to call it, I cannot see it being likely "outsiders" improve these articles with such interference from entrenched edit warriors.--Kala Bethere (talk) 19:05, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
(Emphases, mine)
"Pseudoscience generally proposes changes in basic scientific laws or reality in order to allow some phenomenon which the supporters want to believe occurs, but lack the strong scientific evidence that would justify such major changes. Pseudoscience usually relies mainly on weak evidence, such as anecdotal evidence or weak statistical evidence at just above the level of detection, though it may have a few papers with positive results..." [2]
Pseudoscience entries, by definition are not real science, so therefore must be described according to WP guidelines:
"Pseudoscience and related fringe theories
Further information: WP:UNDUE and WP:FRINGE Pseudoscientific theories are claimed to be science, however, they lack scientific status by use of an inappropriate methodology or lack of objective evidence. Conversely, scientific consensus is by its very nature the majority viewpoint of scientists towards a topic. Thus, when talking about pseudoscientific topics, we should not describe these two opposing viewpoints as being equal to each other. While pseudoscience may in some cases be significant to an article, it should not obfuscate the description of the main views. Any mention should be proportionate, representing the scientific view as the majority view and the pseudoscientific view as the minority view, including explanation of how scientists have received pseudoscientific theories. This is all part of describing differing views fairly."--Kala Bethere (talk) 15:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
The matter, as Will said, has been discussed on at least five different threads at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard. And, I'm as shocked as you that nothing whatsoever has been done to enforce the COI rules on the TM-related article. You'll see, if you peruse these, including the links to the prior discussions, that three editors have acknowledged being employees of various TM-Movement Entities. This one will provide you with most background, as well as links to earlier COIN discussions.[3]. This one is the most recent. [4] Then there is the issue of Meatpuppets/Sockpuppets, anonymous or otherwise, which is another problem altogether. [5]Fladrif (talk) 17:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
This section is for user Kala Bethere to work on a table of acceptable papers. Please do not edit, but feel free to leave suggestions in the section below.
A list of current scientific papers which violate the WP:FRINGE in the entry Transcendental Meditation.
Some guidelines in removal and editing from WP: FRINGE (emphases, mine)
"Proponents of fringe theories have in the past used Wikipedia as a forum for promoting their ideas. Existing policies discourage this type of behavior: if the only statements about a fringe theory come from the inventors or promoters of that theory, then various "What Wikipedia is not" rules come into play. Wikipedia is neither a publisher of original thought nor a soapbox for self-promotion and advertising."
Independent sources
"While fringe theory proponents are excellent sources for describing what they believe, the best sources to use when determining the notability and prominence of fringe theories are independent sources. In particular, the relative space that an article devotes to different aspects of a fringe theory should follow from consideration primarily of the independent sources. If independent sources only comment on the major points of a fringe theory, an article that devotes the majority of its space to minor points that independent sources do not cover in detail may be unbalanced. "
"Peer review is an important feature of reliable sources that discuss scientific, historical or other academic ideas, but it is not the same as acceptance."
Ideas that are of borderline or minimal notability may be mentioned in Wikipedia, but should not be given undue weight. Wikipedia is not a forum for presenting new ideas, for countering any systemic bias in institutions such as academia, or for otherwise promoting ideas which have failed to merit attention elsewhere. Wikipedia is not a place to right great wrongs. Fringe theories may be excluded from articles about scientific topics when the scientific community has ignored the ideas.
"Note that fringe journals exist, some of which claim peer review. Only a very few of these actually have any meaningful peer review outside of promoters of the fringe theories, and should generally be considered unreliable.
Papers are listed by relative appearance in the entry. May not include all non-compliant citations. "Other" non-compliant magazine articles, etc. to be listed separately.

Kala your constant comments about COI constitute harassment, are uncivil, and violate WP:NPA. If you have something to say take it the COI Notice Board. Thanks (olive (talk) 23:02, 24 January 2010 (UTC))
And this statement [6] is a personal attack on multiple editors, is uncivil, and again you are harassing editors.(olive (talk) 23:10, 24 January 2010 (UTC))
Hi Olive. They're just links to past WP activities and were not intended as attacks, but information to help admins working to clean up these entries and the issues involved. Cheers.--Kala Bethere (talk) 13:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Comments like this violate WP:OUTING and may lead to your being blocked, please be more cautious in the future. Dreadstar ☥ 01:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Since it was already admitted here on WP, I didn't see a problem. It's not my fault the user has mentioned it!--Kala Bethere (talk) 13:01, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
I didn't ask for entitlement, I asked for respect. And not wanting to reveal personal information to those editors who harass is an integral aspect of the policy WP:COI. You were asking me to explain the off- Wikipedia harassment. I told you I will not discuss anything further given the accusations you have made today. Given the environment I've dealt with in the last week, I feel no compunction to say anything to anybody. Per WP:COI: "Wikipedians must be careful not to reveal the identity of other editors. Wikipedia's policy against harassment takes precedence over this guideline on conflict of interest.(olive (talk) 04:30, 26 January 2010 (UTC))
(undent) Well it maybe polite to avoid mentioning who a person works for. In this instance the issue of COI is of greater concern. As Deadstar admits that no WP:OUTING has occured maybe he should also strike out these accusations.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:49, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
My position clearly stated multiple times is to look at the edits not the editor. In addition my position in editing per WP:COI is not "contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. Where advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia."
This kind of behviour on the part of another editor is alarming, but in an admin. especially so, and it is critical that such behavioiurs be examined closley in whatever forum that is suitable. Bullying and harassment in attempts to force an editor to admit to some Wikipedia wrong doing is unconscionable.(olive (talk) 16:49, 26 January 2010 (UTC))
Kala . You are, and have been making personal attacks, violations of WP:NPA and WP:CIV [7] [8]. This needs to stop. Thanks.(olive (talk) 22:20, 27 January 2010 (UTC))

You might not have have ever seen WP:WTA. (There are more guideliens on Wikipedia than anyone can keep track of.) Anyway, the word "claim" should only be used in regard to mining. Neutral words like "said", "wrote", or "asserted" are better. Will Beback talk 20:40, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
The term "vandalism" has a narrow meaning on Wikipedia, and using it loosely reflect more poorly on you than on the purported "vandals". Per WP:VANDAL, vandalism only occurs when there's no good faith effort to improve the encyclopedia even if the result falls far short. In the case of those MVAH studies, I'm sure whoever added them thought they were doing a good thing. I suggest you rephrase your posting. Will Beback talk 18:15, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

The article Agni dhatu samadhi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not notable, does not cite any rs
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. dudhhrContribs 20:13, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
