::The medical community in general does not agree with these findings. Scholarly consensus is against a purposefully engineered virus or a planned leak. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 06:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

:::Please provide references that there is "Scholarly consensus is against a purposefully engineered virus or a planned leak". The WHO, U.S. DoD, and U.S. FBI does not agree that there is consensus. That there are these well established governmental bodies that state there *may* have been a lab leak means this is not "conspiracy theory" that The Epoch Times is being tagged with.

::::If you were so sure of your viewpoint, you would be tackling the issue directly by editing the relevant articles such as [[COVID-19 lab leak theory]] or [[SARS-CoV-2]]. Instead, you are in the backwater of the topic, editing something which is really about the main publication of a cult-like new religion. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 07:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

:::::That is a non-sequitur. The claim that The Epoch Times is "far-right" vs. right leaning (note the number of times others have tried to edit the article to be less BIASED and not use charged language, yet has been reverted) is justified based on these references. That I am removing just one of them that can reasonably be justified based on post-2022 assessments of COVID-19 is somehow disturbing to you? I've given 3 governmental agencies that move the needle from "conspiracy theory" (the claim of the reference) to "maybe its true" bothers you based on "point of view"? At this point, I have to question your POV. What are the post-2022 references you have to continue to claim that The Epoch Times spews "conspiracy theory" based on the lab-leak theory? Are you claiming that I have to get involved in editing yet another Wikipedia article in order to remove a now not-relevant site?

::::::Have you read https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21670811.2021.1938165#d1e309 "What Are the Key Information Sources Used in the Discussion and Conspiracy Theorising of COVID-19"? The Epoch Times is the *9th* claimed siteing [Fig. 9] well behind YouTube, Twitter (of 2021), Reuters, et al.; yet those sources don't have this reference to claim they are "far-right".

== Introduction to contentious topics ==

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''[[COVID-19]], broadly construed''', a topic designated as '''''[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the [[WP:ARB|Arbitration Committee]]. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia [[WP:ADMIN|administrators]] have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

*adhere to the [[Wikipedia:Purpose|purposes of Wikipedia]];

*comply with all applicable [[WP:PG|policies and guidelines]];

*follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

*comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

*refrain from [[WP:GAMING|gaming the system]].

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/COVID-19|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. —&nbsp;'''''[[User:Newslinger|<span style="color:#536267;">Newslinger</span>]]'''&nbsp;<small>[[User talk:Newslinger#top|<span style="color:#708090;">talk</span>]]</small>'' 16:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC) </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first -->
