Copyright help
Thanks for spotting and fixing the copyright issues with the material I moved from senescence to Alzheimer's disease. The same editor User_talk:128.12.252.4 added a bunch more material that I moved to cellular senescence and biomarkers of aging. I was just trying to clean up a vital article within my expertise, to keep it focused on broad principles. My wikipedia editing expertise does not amount to dealing with copyright or problem editors, I edit more on scientific content. Are you able to help? Joannamasel (talk) 00:07, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Looking at it more and finding more problems User:Joannamasel. This was copied "Generally, CD4 T-cells have helper, but not cytotoxic, functions under physiological conditions"[1] But that one is under an open license so okay.

new technologies for schistosomiasis
Hi doc James
Your recent deletions in the schistosomiasis and schistosoma mansoni pages obscure a real problem in schistosomiasis: the need for new diagnostics beyond what we have now (what you left in the shortened version).
Shown by several recent large field trials (in which we participated), it is increasingly clear that the community needs novel testing approaches beyond what you have kept as minimum in the text, if the goals of eradication are to be accomplished. The Utzinger paper was already there, is certainly one good paper, but is cited now 5 times (a little redundant) despite the fact it is no more fully up-to-date 2019 - the field in micro-nanotech diagnostics is moving forward...
I propose that you reconsider a few of your deletions. There are also a few typos left ;-)

Near-sightedness
Was there any value in what I added? After taking a second look at the article after your changes, I suppose the article does cover the topics that I had seen mentioned in a recent newspaper article, but just not very well.

Your recent edits to Hydroxychloroquine
Hi Doc James. Happy New Year to you. In case you weren't aware, there's a comment here about how your recent edits to Hydroxychloroquine may have violated the ANI embargo on adding or removing drug pricing. --Ronz (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi James. As a reminder the ANI close remains in effect including "There is an embargo on adding or removing pricing during this process."

- @AlmostFrancis: I did look at the edit. It's why I linked to it above. There's nothing in there that is a Walmart receipt that I can see. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@Barkeep49:, It might be worth clarifying in the ANI close whether updating and/or clarifying pricing information counts as adding and/or removing pricing. Looking at it one way, to change a price requires removing the old price and adding a new one, looking at it another way, the presence or absence of pricing remains constant. Clarifying the information is even more vaguely covered. Tagging for improvement does not appear to have been mentioned, and probably should remain that way as it is something likely to be done by totally uninvolved people. There remains the problem of what to do if another totally ininvolved person addresses a tag requesting improvement and makes an edit that could reasonably be considered an improvement, or just makes a plausible improvement. This is unlikely to happen often, so could possibly be simply ignored as mostly harmless. If the same person makes a habit of doing this, they could be notified of the dispute and embargo, but it would be preferable to disrupt normal encyclopedia-building activity as little as possible.· · · Peter Southwood (talk): 07:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Reasons for including drug prices
Hi James, I am mot aware of the reasoning behind routinely including drug pricing in drug articles. I am getting the opposition reasoning explained in considerable detail, but that is one side of the debate. Is there a reasonably concise statement of the value of drug pricing as encyclopedic content, justifying its inclusion in all or most articles in a prominent position, somewhere that I can look it up for myself? Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 06:50, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- User:Pbsouthwood Prices matter for different reasons for different groups. Per HHS "List prices matter to patients"[3] Per MSF "secret medicine prices cost lives".[4]
- Prices mater to me as an emergency physician as 1) pts often ask me how much medications I am prescribing will cost 2) I get pts coming to the ER as they are unable to afford the medications someone else prescribed them. These details are useful and encyclopedia even though they are approximates. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:41, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Doc James. I saw User talk:Diannaa#Copyvios at El Salvador on Diannaa's user talk and then noticed that you had protected this article for a week per Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive401#User:Javierboujee26 reported by User:Moxy (Result: Fully protected one week ). The protection has expired and Javierboujee26 seems to be back to edit warring again. I've got no stake in this other than normally being WP:HERE. I could revert back to the WP:STATUSQUO version or at least the version you protected, but that seems likely to only further exacerbate the edit warring. Moreover, if there's really a copyvio involved, any further reverts would just create more things to clean up. Anyway, I figured I'd ask you about it to see if anything can or should be done. It's possible that there could be an issue in communicating in English with this editor; the account is about a month old and seems to be an SPA with respect to things related to EL Salvador, but might not be very familiar with Wikipedia in general. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – January 2020
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2019).
|
|
- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being
the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted
rather thanreasonably construed

Copypatrol down
Hi Do James, sorry to have to bother you. Turnitin went down for maintenance for a while on January 4, and the CopyPatrol system still has not resumed posting reports.

Edit warring
James, you are edit warring again, on a Featured article. You have had multiple warnings, and at this level, you understand that it is not necessary to go right up to the 3RR limit to be considered edit warring. I think that Casliber, a psychiatrist and FA writer, has a good understanding of how the narrative should flow on schizophrenia, and has been working on the ordering of the narrative, but even if Cas was WP:RANDY and not an experienced editor in his field, please discuss rather than edit war on any article with any other editor. This is a pattern; it would be very regrettable, in the midst of everything else going on, if I had to ask ANI to ask you to avoid editing Featured articles, and I would NOT want to do that at this point, so please self-revert and wait until you can discuss with others. There Is No Deadline. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 09:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- User:SandyGeorgia this is a Featured Article. It has had that layout since at least 2011. Yes "There Is No Deadline". I am not seeing consensus for the change in question. You are free to go to ANI and make whatever request you wish at this point. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I am sure that you understand that you do not need to tell me what a Featured article is or how criteria are applied; you need to discuss the flow with Casliber on the talk page, and not use your interpretation of a guideline (WP:MEDMOS) to install your preferred order. Regardless of what you perceive to be *your* reason, editwarring is editwarring, and you have a pattern of editwarring. Please self-revert. I hope the order of one section in an article should not be of such significance at a time when we are all working towards developing a more collegial environment. I respect and understand, as you said on Trypto's talk, that you have been away because of several 90-hour workweeks, but returning to active editing by editwarring is not a good look.

- James, I understand that you have been working long hours, and I recognize that you may not have followed all recent discussions, but this pattern is part of the problem, and regardless of where you have "requested further opinions",[5] it is still edit warring. The pattern of engaging in conflict, and then posting to WT:MED for support as soon as you encounter pushback, is part of the dynamic that has affected the collegial working environment, and among the things that need to stop to further a collegial environment. You have posted for further opinions to WT:MED before even waiting to hear from Cas or anyone else at Talk:Schizophrenia. This pattern needs to stop. Could we please work towards improving the environment among medical articles, particularly at this juncture, when we are trying to solve many problems? Why is the order of one section on an article page so important that you would edit war over it? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:00, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- I heard from you. I have requested further opinions. We likely have differing ideas on what is required for "a collegial environment". Similar to how we have differing ideas on the audience we are writing for and what sort of information we should be attempting to provide.

- I am sure that you understand that you do not need to tell me what a Featured article is or how criteria are applied; you need to discuss the flow with Casliber on the talk page, and not use your interpretation of a guideline (WP:MEDMOS) to install your preferred order.
