      Sorry, I should have clarified: they’d revert your change quickly, and your account would be banned after a few additional infractions. You think AI would be better?

        I think a medical journal or publication with integrity would be better.

        I think one of the private pay only medical databases would be better.

        I think a medical textbook would be better.

        Wikipedia is fine for doing a book report in high school, but it’s not a stable source of truth you should be trusting with lives. You put in a team of paid medical professionals curating it, we can talk.

          Sorry but have to disagree. Look at the talk page on a math or science Wikipedia article, the people who maintain those pages are deadly serious. Medical journals and scientific publications aren’t intended to be accessible to a wider public, they’re intended to be bases for research - primary sources. Wikipedia is a digest source.

            I can agree for you to disagree, It’s different for different situations, everything you’re saying is correct but but doesn’t make me fell better about my situation.

            Was a good conversation, I do feel I can see that there are people doing their best to keep Wikipedia honest. Have a good one.
