Does atrazine feminise male frogs?

I see you deleted this entry in the article on fish physiology and made the claim it had been "widely debunked as unreliable". It seems there is currently an odious little war concerning the truth of this matter between neutrally funded scientists and scientists funded by chemical industry interests. For now, I have undone your deletion. Have you, yourself, a conflict of interest in this area? If so, you should not directly edit articles on this matter, but you should declare your conflict and express any concerns you have on the article talk pages. If you don't have any affiliation with the chemical industry yourself, can you find reliable sources supporting your position, preferably secondary sources, which are not compromised by their manner of funding? – Epipelagic (talk) 02:48, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Part of the reason was due to lack of replicability by anyone else (industry funded or otherwise, since the author won't release that info), but also because it's an article on fish physiology, and the study was on frogs? Pretty sure frogs aren't fish... Sorry, I wasn't aware citations were needed if removing something, I'll try to find some (as an aside, Miles Power on YouTube is a chemist, he's done a really good video on the subject). Also no COI here, my job is totally unrelated so it's strange you thought that was a factor? (Edit - I realise this may be controversial so I added a topic to the talk page in lieu of further edits, since there wasn't one already #TotallyNotAShill :) ) Blue-Sonnet (talk) 11:12, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
