Hello Roxy the dog,

I have two issues regarding your deletion of the entire "Notable Manufacturers" section. I believe your claim is: a) most of the explanation was written to advertise the listed companies and b) many of the listed companies are not actually notable.

For claim a), I do understand where you're coming from. However, as someone who greatly benefited from the article, I would like to point out that the "Notable Manufacturers" section is actually very informative and does provide a good list of the players in the market. Although I partially agree with your perspective that advertisements should be banned from the article, I would like to suggest that you let users have access to the article, as long as it is cited well and obeys Wikipedia's policies regarding Neutral Point-of-View and Conflict-of-Interest - our goal is to sort out advertisements, not to delete the whole section.

Regarding claim b), it would be very nice if you could provide solid evidence to back up your claim that many of the listed companies "are not notable at all". I'm afraid that your claim is extremely vague - I would understand if you could provide a solid definition of the word "notable" and sort out the companies based on that definition; otherwise, it is very difficult to agree with you.

Thank you very much in advance. I hope you take my suggestions into consideration. Gushichan (talk) 15:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

It would be proper to make your comments at the article talk page, not here. That way, other editors with interests in the article can see any conversation we have with regard to it. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 15:19, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Please do not avoid my claim like that. You're the one who reverted my edition, hence you do have the responsibility to clarify the reasons behind your action. Gushichan (talk) 15:32, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I have altered your post to conform to talk page guidelines, forgive me. I will respond when you ask at the talk page. Thanks. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 15:36, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is not a pseudoscience as many claims but an art & science of healing the body with natural remedies & other therapies.
The therapies in modern naturopathy treatment includes- hydrotherapy(water), manipulative therapy (message, osteopathy, chiropractice,etc), chromotherapy (lights & colours), accupuntture, accupressure, reflexology, nutrition dietetics, fasting Therapy,yoga, meditation & pranayama and many more. It's an alternative medicine groomed to help patient physically, mentally, socially and spiritually healthy (holistic approach to health.) "Naturopaths/ naturopathic doctor doesn't treat the patient but the disease, finding the root cause of ailments rather than suppressing the symptoms" To be a Naturopathy doctor one should have professional degree qualifications (5.5years) from recognised institution or university. The course is named under BNYS(bachelor's degree in naturopathy and yogic sciences) in India (5.5years) where the students learns anatomy, physiology, biochemistry,nature cure,yoga therapy, pathology, community medicine, research methodology,modern diagnosis, naturopathy diagnosis, accupuntture, accupressure,yoga application, nutrition dietetics, fasting & its effect on body, hospital management etc..
It's an evidence based medicine, any treatment given should have a strong scientific explanation before prescribing or giving to patient. Thousands of research papers are published under naturopathy treatment and it's affect on patient.

THe above unsigned comment was a misplaced first ever edit by User:Frommountains, and I moved it here, the correct place, following its removal by a fellow editor. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:01, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

It doesn't surprise me, I've always had more trouble remembering names correctly than other words, except when I notice something special about them, in which case they become more memory-ingraved. Thanks for noticing and fixing it, —Paleo Neonate – 21:59, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Endometrial

RE: "Reverted to revision 972439206 by Flyer22 Frozen (talk): Return to good"

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Endometriosis&type=revision&diff=973082394&oldid=973081522

Hi, Roxy the dog!

I a tweaking Endometriosis which you recently worked on and linked “endometrial” and endometriosis in “Rarely, endometriosis can cause endometrial tissue to be found in other parts of the body. Thoracic endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue implants in the lungs or pleura.”

I want to change “endometrial” to “endometrium-like” as used in Ref 10. Zondervan KT, Becker CM, Missmer SA (March 2020). "Endometriosis". N. Engl. J. Med. 382 (13): 1244–1256. doi:10.1056/NEJMra1810764. PMID 32212520.

Cannabis (drug) edit

Hi Roxy,

I saw that you reverted my revert on Cannabis (drug). It seems like you and the two users I reverted are suggesting that it is redundant to say that cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug in the United States, after already saying it is the most commonly used illegal drug in the world. This is not the case—something could be the most commonly used illegal drug in the world while being the least commonly used illegal drug in the U.S. or any other country. In addition, the claims that it is the most commonly used illegal drug in the world and in the United States are each supported by reliable sources.

Please let me know if I misunderstood the purpose of your edit, but if I did not, the page should be left as is. Additionally, I'm wondering what you meant by "I tell you three times," since the other two editors who disagreed were using different accounts. Are you affiliated with these accounts in some way? Wallnot (talk) 13:32, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Angles

Can you explain your blind reverts to XLRI - Xavier School of Management?

The name added to the alumni list of XLRI - Xavier School of Management is acceptable as per WP:ALUMNI, WP:LISTCRIT. Also until very recently they had their own page on WP. Also I am not supposed to create mainspace article for a person so that they can be added to their alumni list when their notability for the list can be established via RS in the list itself. Roller26 (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

See User talk:Roller26#September 2020. It wasn't just Roxy that reverted you. The link was removed by an administrator per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aroul D. Shankar here[3] and again by a different administrator here.[4] --Guy Macon (talk) 00:05, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Indeed. I wont respond further, but this should have been broached at the article Talk page, not here. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 07:58, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Mum

Hey, I know you’ve harped a few times on his English knowledge, but it doesn’t reflect great when you’re missing his use of mum to mean silent and assuming he’s using mum for mother. He’s saying that you made the edit to the reference desk but have been mum (silent) on the talk page; yes he’s missing some sort of verb before the mum, but I think his intention is still clear. The twice typo of “unacceptable” as “unnacceptable” also doesn’t help. I’m just noting this as an outside observer; his English skills are certainly not the greatest, but are certainly not the worst.

There are certainly other concerns with the user, but I think harping on that continually isn’t a hill to die on. only (talk) 12:20, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

He's illiterate, almost, in english. He also is hopeless in his chosen subject. Put the two together and ... I'll back off for a couple of days, but something has to be done if he continues to post rubbish, as he is currently doing. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Edit reversal

Hello, you reverted a edit that was made to the traditional Chinese medical page. The only explanation that you made was that it was better before, in the lead their was information that is not Lead content also there in no information about its addition to the Global Diagnostic Compendium, ICD and that is the subject of the article from Nature Magazine. Please explain your statement of better before as your reason for wasting my edditing time. Shenqijing (talk) 09:45, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

No. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 10:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

If you look at the talk page the administror suggested the bulk of that edit it was a simple cut and paste, the other information is supported by a valid citation from Nature Magazine. So what do you need to move forward on this one. Shenqijing (talk) 10:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The Talk page says nothing of the sort. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 10:47, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry I forgot to say you deleted a well research inclusion and citation using the same credible source as the other statement in the lead. Shenqijing (talk) 10:44, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Your breaking of the three-reverts rule in the Turin Shroud article

Hi. You have reverted three aditions of content to the Turin Shroud article, in all three cases removing sourced information that had been in the article for years. You have therefore broken the three-edits rule of Wikipedia. I therefore ask you to please undo your own edit, otherwise, as you know, your breaking of the rule should be reported. Also, please note that there is a discussion going on in the page, which you're politely asked to take part of if you want to edit the article at this time. Arrasarro (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Haha. You have little idea what a revert is do you? Also, Years? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:29, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Again, if you read three-edits rule you'll see that, as for the rule: A "revert" means any edit that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material.. Again, I politely ask you to undo your last edit, otherwise your breaking of the rule shall have to be reported. Arrasarro (talk) 12:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

I just fell of my chair laughing. Going to disable my 'undo' button. Also, Years? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

@Arrasarro: That's a rule of no more than 3 reverts (not: edits). It means 3 reverts are okay, 4 reverts are bad. See also WP:BOOMERANG. Tgeorgescu (talk) 12:40, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes, the affirmation "but in 1958 Pope Pius XII approved of the image in association with the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus" that you are removing had been in the article for years, as you can see if you give yourself the trouble. I therefore will ask you a third time to revert your last edit, as another Wikipedia rules states the previous version should be kept while discussion goes on.

I am going to assume good faith and extend an olive branch. If you could kindly view the talkpage of the article and comment on my detailed explanation for the edits, that would be appreciated.

Political trolling

Your actions on Natural News show politically motivated trolling. At first you accused me of being a Ukrainian and then deleted the comments but nothing here is really deleted! There is a history of your misbehavior and I have intentionally triggered a security audit because Google themselves verified that the site was NEVER removed for fake news which invalidates the existing sources which claim otherwise and never even contacted Google to get the truth.

Does reporting anything to the Dept of Homeland Security actually rise to the level of a legal threat though. Are wikipedians quaking in their boots in fear? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 15:54, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

"A legal threat, in [the context of WP:NLT], is a threat to engage in an external (real life) legal or other governmental process that would target other editors." Whether or not the Department of Homeland Security would actually bother to respond to a complaint about supposed suppression of imagined "civil liberties" by international editors on a private website is neither here nor there, the point is that they were using threats of potential real-world consequences to scare off other editors, instead of really doing much of anything in the interest of improving an article. "No legal threats" in this instance is really just a convenient shorthand for obviously not here to build an encyclopedia.

By the way, if there's some issue with my subsequent edits to Natural News, please (as always) feel free to correct me. I don't know what the hell PacMecEng is getting on about at AN3 but I've got better things to do. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:40, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @RAJIVVASUDEV: Rahon is not an article about a person. It is an article about a place, and it is already in Category:Cities and towns in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district. Category:People_from_Shaheed_Bhagat_Singh_Nagar_district has articles about people from that district, not articles about places, even if there are people in the district who live in that place (and even if those people have children – not that I understand why that would make a difference). Being a former capital city does not make a place a person. And you really have to dial down on your hostility. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 09:23, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I have just wasted an hour looking through your interactions with Roxy the dog going back a year or so. You two seem to exclusively collide on textiles articles (an area in which Roxy the dog contributes a significant amount of good content editing), and I'll be blunt, RAJIVVASUDEV - RTD does a lot of cleaning up after you on that topic, and generally doesn't seem to make a fuss except in really egregious cases. Stop accusing Roxy the dog of 'intentially edit warring' with you, and stop telling them to assume good faith.

Also, re: your contributiosn - You'd do well to re-read WP:V and WP:RS together. If a source doesn't verify the claim you're making, it doesn't matter if it's reliable or not.

I don't want to keep seeing this dispute on my watchlist, and as far as I can tell the ball is in RAJIVVASUDEV's court to resolve this. -- a ^{they/them | argue | contribs} 13:27, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

I gave you a warning while you were here. What has wallpaper got to do with fabric? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 16:47, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Bolt (fabric) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit wrring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I was not going to template the regulars, but you asked for it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

User:7&6=thirteen No probs with the template, but are you going to stop adding crap about wallpaper to an article about fabric? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 17:49, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

We can change the title and subject. The terms are interrelated and in this context they are interchangeable. The sources make that clear.

You are way over your allotment of edit warring. This has become a mess; and you are (at least partly) to blame. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:07, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

User:Roxy the dog, User:Dream Focus suggested on my talk page a name change for the article (Bolt (measurement), which would get us past this kerfuffle. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Furthermore, I doubt very much I'd be found guilty of edit-warring if it came to court, (NOTE for Pedants - Joke, not threat) -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 00:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I am trying to fix the problem. Not fix the blame. You seem to have an inability or unwillingness to bury controversies that ultimately aren't that important. You don't know how to seize on the opportunity of working this through. But you have choices, and I respect your intensity, while disagreeing with your methods. We can do this the long hard way, but it isn't the direction I want to go.

Editing this article does not have to be a zero sum game.

Come on Roxy - they called you biased, you called them a plonker, I asked you both to stop, then you basically repeated what you said - all I did was revert you, it's not like anybody isn't getting away with it.

Consider this entirely hypothetical situation. One person is making personal attacks on a talk page, and another person is being all cool about it. Easy decision to block, right? Now imagine they're both making personal attacks, you ask them to stop and they don't, and then you have to trawl through the edit history to work out who started it, consider whether there have been warnings, weigh up the offensiveness of each attack, etc. It gets muddy. And you don't want mud on your spider suit, they're a bugger to wash. GirthSummit _(blether) 15:52, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Did Wikipedia change the rules concerning reliable resources?

Hi Roxy,

I deleted a citation of a Mr. David Gorski whose statement is based on a blog entry. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources this is not a reliable source for a medicine related article. Note that Mr. Gorskis blog entry partially is based on another blog entry "accurate summation of the Feldenkrais method", which is based on a another bloggers anecdotic experience. http://www.skepdic.com/refuge/bunk36.html

Concerning the quote of quackwatch: Mentioning something in a list, without any citations of scientific studies is not really hitting the high quality standards of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)

So, why did you restore these entries? They lack of any citation of a reliable scientific source.

Best regards,

Erik

ErikSchaf (talk) 11:30, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Your edit[28] was reverted for not being neutral. I would have reverted it myself if Roxy had not beaten me to it.

Use of blogs by David Gorski and Quackwatch as sources are allowed per WP:BLOG: "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications."

There is no good medical evidence that the Feldenkrais method confers any health benefits. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Trees

Roxy the Sycamore, have ~~you~~ tree evolved into a tree? Bishonen the Japanese Cherry | tålk 16:17, 13 April 2021 (UTC).

This was a response to somebody who wanted to be called tree, and the eeng sanction. I suppose going back to grumpy is better. Thank you for these pics Bish, and while the sycamore is lovely, may I say that the japanese cherry is appropriately beautiful. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 20:17, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

It's funny. Some people think tree am french and call tree "Gee Masson", but tree am of British descent, tree was raised speaking the Queens English, and tree name rhymes with "Sea Bacon" (which tree would have for breakfast with some scrambled sea eggs, toasted sea bread with sea jelly with some sea apples and sea cucumbers on the side). --Guy Macon (talk) 22:03, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Paid False claim

Hey there, nice to see you take on an activist role at Wikipedia. But unfortunately to everyone's disappointment, I am not a paid promotional person or anything, the info which you keep changing back to is outdated, and I am an aspiring student busy with college applications wanting to get into an MBA college here in India. So if you want readers to get the correct info on Wikipedia, please allow the changes to remain. I even cited the sources so that it is clear that the changes are not misleading. Anyone with time on their hands can check if the information provided is correct or not. I merely tried to update the page. Please go through publicly available articles and allow the proper information to be readily available at everyone's fingertips. Anyway, thank you for going through all this trouble to read my message. And sorry for any etiquette blunder I may have committed. Because I am new to Wikipedia and do not really know this stuff that much. Thanks. Housofx (talk) 13:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC) User talk:Housofx

Even if you are not being paid to edit, your edits are still unacceptable as they are almost entirely promotional. See WP:PROMOTION. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:44, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Please be nicer to me

Hi Roxy, please forgive me for my edits at TCM. I am not a troll, and I will immediately discard all of my dad's TCM from the closet and tell him to stop taking huang lian su for diarrhea and physically stop him from going to buy it in the future.

Laundry symbols and GINETEX

Per MOS:CAPS, GINETEX should be all caps since it's an acronym. It was my error to write it Ginetex in the first place, so I corrected. Carter (talk) 15:47, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Not a proper Acronym. The Groupement International d'Etiquetage pour l'Entretien des TEXtiles uses the first three letters of the last word. Thanks for discussing though, but I believe you are wrong. We really should discuss this at the article talk page, where others will see. I will move this discussion there. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 16:17, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Zamzam Water article issues

Hello, Roxy the dog,

I reverted to my version of "Zamzam water" due to the article not conforming to Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. When I said 2-0, that was because another user agreed with me on this issue. I considered it as part of a vote. There was no opposition to my complaint, so I went ahead with reverting it. If you want such a large vote to happen (which I'm assuming), then you should find people to take part in this consensus. If there is no action within one or two weeks, I will need to go ahead with my version. This complaint was brought to light on April 15. Once again, I will reiterate that the current version of the article is misinformation. Thanks for your time.

April 2021

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.RV (talk) 13:39, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Cellulosic fibres, Nylon, all MMFs and synthetics are all from natural sources

You are mistaken here [[30]]. Natural fibers are obtained from natural sources such as plants, animals, or minerals without any chemical process.But Kindly MMF (Manmade fibers) are obtained after synthesizing process only. I hope all is clear. Thanks RV (talk) 14:11, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

RV, Looking at the revision history of Natural fiber, it looks like you posted wrong information twice, Roxy reverted your bad edits twice, and finally you posted the correct information. That wasn't edit warring. It was fixing your screwup. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:24, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Respected Sir That was a short description, not a definition. Have you seen his ALL? Is he right? Though we produce everything from natural sources, ALL are not from plants, animals, and minerals. We get ONLY natural fibers from these sources. The human-made fibers are obtained after synthesizing petroleum products. His ALL is Hell. And i fixed that. Thanks and best regards RV (talk) 02:49, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

I am not mistaken, you are, as usual. It runs through all your editing. Do you know Dunning and Kruger at all? -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 14:43, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Roxy the dog What was mistaken is explained. I know one thing that for you, your ego and your prejudices are bigger than Wikipedia and its projects. Let's finish our business on Staple (textiles). I will not allow you to run away from the talk page where you are an expert (to escape). And do you know Dog training? I am busy in the same, and I shall make you a good one (You will discuss the things on the talk page first). Mind you RV (talk) 03:14, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

It could be both. It could be that Roxy's ego is bigger than Wikipedia AND that you don't understand what makes a fiber a "natural fiber". The two are not mutually exclusive. See Dunning–Kruger effect. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:27, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Respected Sir, Firstly I appreciate your time and thanks for mentioning both. I am sorry to bother you again. How should I react when someone removes [[31]] the information with reliable sources without reading them and his ed sum is ‎Rayon staple: Some terribly innaccurate stuff that was very poor removed. But the source is there and it is a reliable source.^[1]. Page 496. Should not he discuss it on the talk page first? If he does so, i can correct it accordingly. Kindly advise. Warm regards RV (talk) 04:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Please stop calling me "respected sir".[32] My name is Guy Macon and I work for a living.[33][34]

What part of "ref was to the front cover of a book" are you having trouble understanding? If the book directly supports your claim, cite the page where it does that. See WP:V. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

"Rayon and acetate are both artificial fibers, but not truly synthetic, being made from wood." --Synthetic fiber

--Guy Macon (talk) 04:48, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Guy Macon, The Page number 496 was already there in the source See[[35]]. BTW There is no doubt and debate about the Rayon/ Acetate is artficial or Synthetic, The point is Rayon staple. Anyway thanks for your support and time. Regards RV (talk) 06:08, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Rajiv, Please tell us what it says, exactly, on page 496, so that we can WP:V verify your citation. Quote exactly the section that supports your statement in the article. Thanks. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 10:56, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

This is how the source defines Rayon Staple "Short Rayon fibers of spinnable length manufactured directly or by cutting large groups of continuous filaments. Generally measure 1-20 denier and is usually produced in length of 1-5 inches (2.54 to 12.17 cms). Spun into yarn of different textures and sizes. Often it is blended with other natural and manmade fibers. In general lengths and thickness are comparable with natural fibers. Rayon staple does not include cut Rayon waste." Thanks RV (talk) 11:41, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict) My mistake about the page number. The first citation you provided above didn't have it.

When I first noticed this thread you were adding an inaccurate short description to Natural fiber, which you then made more accurate.[36][37][38]

Now I see you accusing Roxy of vandalism[39] because you want to add a paragraph on Rayon Staple to Staple (textiles).[40]

Staple (textiles) already says "Synthetic fibers are produced artificially by humans through chemical synthesis. The process includes polymerization. These fibers are formed with extruding fiber-forming materials through spinnerets. The product is continuous strands with long infinite lengths. These are called filament yarns. Examples of synthetic fibers are Polyester, Polyamide, Acrylic, etc. Silk is the only natural fiber obtained as a filament. If filament fiber is cut into discrete lengths, it becomes staple fiber."

So yes, you could add a paragraph about Rayon staple, another about Polyester staple, another about Polyamide staple, another about Acrylic staple, etc. another about Silk staple, and so on. All of those are filament fiber that can be cut into discrete lengths, thus becoming staple fiber. The paragraph you added adds nothing useful to the article.

Here is what you should have done. Per WP:TALKDONTREVERT and WP:BRD you should have stopped as soon as there was a disagreement and calmly discussed the issue on the appropriate article talk page. Instead you went right to accusing the other person of "deliberately destroying and damaging Wikipedia" and asking senior editors to stop them. --Guy Macon (talk) 12:56, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Guy Macon Firstly I agree with your advice. The talk page discussion, but i have not given any chance on the talk page. I am considering Natural fiber is settled for now. And we will fix the rest of the things. Thanks and warm regards RV (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Does “morbid matter” have some technical meaning specific to textiles, or is this a sort of cloth that stays filthy after washing? Otherwise, I really can’t see what it’s supposed to mean. Brunton (talk) 12:46, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
