== Many chiropractors ==

It seems perfectly okay to use a citation that states that US chiros see themselves as primary care providers to support the sentence that "many chiropractors" see themselves as such. Ideally, this sentence would be supported by a few citations that cover respective geographic areas. ] (]) 06:33, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

::Here is the quote from the source I added: "Chiropractors are, in their own view, primary care physicians who treat the entire population – neonate to geriatric patient – for a broad range of conditions and diseases," which is supported by four references.

== Reinstating (possible) copyrighted image ==

You reinstated this image with a revert. Which may be the correct thing to do - but there has been a copyright claim made on the image here - i removed the image because advertising is not in any way or form acceptable, nor is having a copyrighted image without attribution.

So please, can you confirm that you are aware of the issue, and relate the policy reasons that make you capable of just ignoring the copyright claim? --] 20:19, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

WTF is WURT ? — Cirt (talk) 17:41, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

it is the self-name of someone who is socking who is upset with me and guy per at least two messages they have left. see Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/Renameduser024#Comments_by_other_users Jytdog (talk) 22:38, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
It is the Misplaced Pages Urgent Reform Team. You can join. QuackGuru (talk) 22:26, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
QG, what does this and this have to do with improving Misplaced Pages? Real question. A second real question - these socks are specifically targeting me and Guy. Why do you support that? Jytdog (talk) 22:30, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
It has nothing to do with improving. I don't support it. This all started with Reform of Misplaced Pages. QuackGuru (talk) 22:36, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
That essay unfortunately attracted a bunch of disoriented and disgruntled editors who don't really understand this place. I have been sympathetic to what you were trying to do but the clamor of people like whoever is doing this socking has dragged your effort down. And your not distancing yourself and your effort from them, hurts you and your effort. They are stealing your brand and trashing it. Jytdog (talk) 22:51, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
One of them who supported the essay is probably the sock. QuackGuru (talk) 22:53, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
I get that. I don't want to tangle with you QG - you do some great work here. Jytdog (talk) 23:19, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
I know who the master is but there is a small chance I could be wrong. An admin could run a checkuser with all the accounts who supported the essay. QuackGuru (talk) 23:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
