Can someone edit a Wikipedia article for me?
« on: February 17, 2023, 11:41:41 am »
Can't believe I'm having to ask this, but my IP has been banned from editing Wikipedia AND making an account on the site because of repeated abuse that I've not actually engaged in (Which makes me suspect they've banned a range of IPs and mine was caught in the crossfire).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Keroack

My issue is the part that says "Additional research in the decade following Keroack's HHS appointment increasingly supports his view". I checked the two citations on it and all they show is how oxytocin affects bonding, not how oxytocin is reduced by premarital sex and thus reduces the ability to bond with new partners. If anyone wants to double check me just in case (Because I acknowledge it's not my area of expertise and a little emotionally charged for me) I'd appreciate that.

Thanks in advance.

Honestly, if anyone did edit that out, someone else would probably just edit it back in.

I mean, someone put that shit in there, with the TWO citations.  They'll undoubtably put it back in, should someone edit it out.

I'm not attaching my IP to that shit.

Check out the talk page. I think it explains everything.

No offence meant EJ, but that's a needlessly cautious approach to using Wikipedia.

Great Order, I went ahead and removed the false claim and gave a good reason for doing so. I don't see it being validly reverted without a better explanation of how the citations fit.

WP:NPOV, WP:BIASED, and I’ve probably missed at least a few more…

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Thanks. I've got an appeal going, although I'm not sure how to actually check on how it's doing...
