Wikipedia is wholly sold out to experts: experts in debunking pseudoscience, experts in epistemology, experts in religion studies, experts in theology, experts in history, experts in medical science.

Please mind the following:

Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources say about topics. You have not provided any sources at all, and seem to suggest that your edits are based on your personal knowledge; this is insufficient as we cannot verify your personal knowledge. Information must be published somewhere that readers can locate and verify the information.
