I do not have much expertise in the wikipedia procedures. Please let me know if you thing that my response is not appropriate. I would then have the chance to maybe produce further arguments.

Meat article

PLEASE STOP REMOVING MY EDIT TO THE ARTICLE "MEAT" UNLESS YOU CAN EXPLAIN A VALID REASON WHY.

I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG AND HAVE CHECKED THE GUIDELINES TO MAKE SURE NUMEROUS TIMES. SO IF YOU PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE MY STATEMENT, WELL MAYBE YOU ARENT EDUCATED ON THE DIETARY WAYS OF HUMANS.

I make no claim to expert knowledge of meat or dietary habits of any creature (other than yours truly). For what it's worth and understanding you are unlikely to read this, your edits come with an obvious bias (on a subject I have no personal opinion about), in making them you remove genuinely sourced copy and are obviously here with an agenda. Beyond that, you were previously warned and blocked for these on a different IP, which makes you now further in violation of policy. Into The Fray ^T/C 00:53, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Please tell me what is wrong with this statement added to the "meat" article!

"Most scientists agree that humans are naturally herbivorous, therefore making the typical act of slaughter needless, but some studies suggest that humans are natural omnivores

I have stated no personal point of view whatsoever and have added reliable citing!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!

I CAN TAKE OUT THE "THEREFORE MAKING THE TYPICAL ACT OF SLAUGHTER NEEDLESS" PART IF YOU WANT, EVEN THOUGH ITS COMMON SENSE, WITH THE PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF HERBIVOROUS TENDENCIES IN HUMANS.

And i am not here with an agenda! I am simply stating facts (sourced of course) that no one cared to add before. And if my sources are considered 'not reliable' please tell me what WOULD consider them reliable.

I am editing for the same reasons most people are -- to bring the public better information! And I think it is wrong to blast out that we are automatically omnivorous, just because we choose to eat meat! But I am respectful of studies who argue that point of view, and i included them still in the sources!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE FOR ME TO DO DIFFERENTLY??

I have tried to explain this to you and will not proceed with an endless argument. Please stop posting to my talk page. Thank you. Into The Fray ^T/C 04:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

bill ackman

hi. On Monday you reverted my edit re bill ackman because it wasn't sourced. see my edit

but it was sourced. the source was the cnbc article: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100331139, which was already in the article. I merely tried to add balance from a source already used. thank you for further comment/guidance. Michmeander (talk) 03:08, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi there Michmeander. I took a look at the article history and the source and agree, it is sourced. I reverted my reversion and then did a little copy edit to your addition. It looked like an attempt at inserting a personal view. I apologize for the mistake. Thank you for letting me know about it. Into The Fray ^T/C 03:18, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
