[edit] Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Here are some other hints and tips:
- I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
- When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.
If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my Talk page or you can type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!
Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

[edit] User:Ackoz
User:Ackoz requested that his/her user page and talk page be deleted so they could not have accounts listed on other sites associated with their account on this site. Or something like that. - Mark 04:38, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV tags on Orthomolecular medicine and Megavitamin therapy
Both articles have severe POV problems. See WP:NPOV and the talk pages, where the problems have not been resolved. Please don't remove the tags. -- 70.232.110.230 18:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

- WP:LEAD says "The lead section should provide a clear and concise introduction to an article's topic, establishing context, and defining the terms. It should contain several paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide an overview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable, and including a mention of its notable controversies." The most notable fact about megavitamin theory is that it is dangerous, objected to by leading scientists, and widely criticized. Yet, not only has this been deleted from the lead paragraph by your edit, but it has been deleted from the article all together. -- 70.232.110.230 23:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

- Alright, I have noted the controversy element in the lead paragraph of Megavitamin (already was in orthomed), thank you. The article already attempts to fairly note & address the "danger" concerns of conventional physicians, who frequently have remarkably little training in clinical nutrition of any stripe; are subject to intense bombardment both in medical school in texts that are, well, "conventional" POV, rather than general SPOV; ubiquitous outright pharmaceutical propaganda; and, of course, various pervasive forms of "incentive" and conflict of interest. I would appreciate your effort to edit the "Controversy and relationship..." section in a measured and proportionate way after taking a hard look at the Talk pages at orthomed and megavitamin as well as some of the extensive references in the articles.--69.178.41.55 00:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please obtain a regular login
Hi,
Please consider obtaining and working from a reglar login account. This will make it easier for you (and for me) to engage in conversations and editing of articles. If you have privacy concerns -- I don't beleive a login account diminishes your privacy. If you think its too much trouble -- there's not much to fill out, and you can ask the system to "remember you" so the need for logins becomes quite rare. linas 01:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
