Hello there, dear sir. I would like to inform you that there is no need to have removed my edit to the year ]. The edit that I made to this page is a relevant edit. If you were to have read the page, you would have known that the actress who I edited onto the page was born in 1993, so technically it is relevant information. If you see this, please take note.

== homoeopathy ==


<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap">
Sir,
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em">
Before writing in wikipedia you have to be thorough about the subject which you are going to publish... Is homoeopathy a placebo??? Do you have any experience with homoeopathy??? There are many allopaths(physicians of modern medicine) now practising homoeopathy... Lakhs of new patients are coming to homoeopathy day by day... Many allopaths are referring patients to homoeopathic doctors which they couldn't manage... Its all because this system of meficine could give cure to the patients rapidly and in short duration and also without any side effects .... There are many things in the world which science couldn't explain... Eg: sweet taste... Can you explain scientifically what is sweet...?? No you can't... You can feel it only... In the same way there are many things in the world which we can't give scientific explanation... Instead we can feel it only... Since science and technology is not advanced enough to explain homoeopathy like sweet taste,that doesn't mean that homeopathy or sweet taste is not true.... Acceptance of things only when science could give explanation means we have to say many things are wrong.... Is that possible sir...?? <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 01:56, 18 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Although I do not think that homeopathy could possibly work except for placebo, I base may edits on Misplaced Pages on the fact that no ] says that it might work. Because of ], reliable sources do not include peer-reviewed works where the "peers" are homeopaths. — ] ] 15:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

If you were to have read the page, you would have known that the actress who I edited onto the page was born in 1993, so technically it is relevant information. If you see this, please take note.
