Hello

Hello ToddGrande. I have noticed some of your edits. I think that they are well intentioned but also sometimes astray in relation to Wikipedia policies. My apologies if I'm already stating the obvious. However, resources that could support your work:

WP:RSN (and WP:RSP) are useful to determine if a source can be used, if the source's views should be attributed, etc. The RSN archives are also searchable.
WP:FTN, the fringe theories noticeboard precisely deals with topics such as pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, application of WP:PSCI, the policy on pseudoscience, etc. It is common to post notices there with a summary of the problem and a link to the article of concern for more input as well as more page watchers.
WP:SKEPTIC, WikiProject Skepticism is semi-active but wikiprojects are places to centralize some resources, like the skeptics' watchlist, categories, a TODO list and various useful material. It also has its own noticeboard, WT:SKEPTIC. Interested editors can also add themselves to a members list.
The WP:BLP policy and its WP:BLPN noticeboard, for biographies of living people. Special care should be taken here, there is a special page for sources usable in biographies like WP:BLPRS. I noticed recently that you had created a redirect from a name to an article that did not have any information about that person (it unsurpisingly was quickly noticed by a patroller then deleted by an administrator).
WP:MED, WikiProject Medicine and its WT:MED noticeboard. Biomedical claims are also subject to stricter source requirements WP:MEDRS.

I also noticed that you tend to quickly blank posts made on this talk page. It is allowed per WP:BLANKING and considered to be an acknowledgement, but I also suggest making an effort to reply when possible (various pages explain the spirit of collaborative editing, such as WP:ENGAGE, WP:DISCUSSFAIL, WP:BRD, WP:CONSENSUS, WP:TEAMWORK, WP:RADAR, WP:PI, I'm sure you get the idea). This is already getting long, but my hope is that you don't get in trouble unnecessarily, which is possible considering that various administrators have posted here before. I'm not an administrator but I'm a participant at WP:FTN and member of WP:SKEPTIC. Feel free to ask for any clarifications. The WP:TEAHOUSE is also very welcoming for general guidance. Happy editing, —Paleo Neonate – 22:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
