{{unblock reviewed | 1=Like I said in the edit, I've never actually read the Fringe guideline and I didn't know that it contained references to acupuncture or alternative medcine. While [[User:Kww]] wants to pretend this is ONLY about a topic ban violation, it is indeed more. On his talk page he entertains QuackGuru's assertions that I may be a sockpuppet. I am not.

This is a topic ban, right? At least that what I keep getting told. This block is clearly misguided and I know Kww [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Adjwilley&diff=prev&oldid=618375328 read this].

Any violations of this ban will result in blocks, except where excepted by WP:BANEX. The topic ban may be appealed in 1 year.

While planning my [[WP:Clean Start]] attempt I carefully read and re-read the guideline. I recognized that at some time I would want to return to acupuncture after a reliable source for my proposed edits were found. Herein I came to a dilemma, which account should I use or should I do it at all? The guideline seems to give conflicting advice and I was confuzled.
