Berkeley issues

I hate to promote my own userspace, but if you want things to pull from for that Berkeley class, see User:Train2104/Berkeley NPOV articles for a list. – Train2104 (t • c) 16:50, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

I just found this after randomly visiting Jytdog's user page. I was unaware of the other sections beyond 105, which is where I had run into the NPOV issues. Train2104, is this a comprehensive list of all the Berkeley articles? I'm only asking because they IMO they should all be checked for copyvios and plagiarism after two cases I found over the weekend. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: As far as I can tell, yes. The 6 links at the top go to every article they've ever edited, if I understand WikiEdu correctly. I went through those to make this list, though I can't guarantee it's complete since some of the pages they've been worked on have been moved numerous times. – Train2104 (t • c) 03:07, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Sigh. Thanks. I'll go through the rest. Don't know how I missed the other class sections. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:11, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

There are also many user sandboxes and a couple draftspace drafts, which I've ignored, but of course copyvios there are a no-no too. – Train2104 (t • c) 03:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Sitush (talk) 08:38, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Only warning

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

You are reverting a version that was agreed upon by 4 editors. However much you think you are right, you can not do that.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Debresser (talk) 22:24, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

User:Debresser why not just provide a source as requested and as required by WP:V? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:03, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

I'll be happy to do so sometime in the near future, but I have a problem with an editor going against a unanimous talkpage consensus of 4 other editors and removing a statement that was in the article for years. There is simply no way that can be okay. Debresser (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

You are misrepresenting the consensus; repeating a lie does make it true. The content had been tagged disputed since 2015. I will launch the RfC tonight which will be a SNOW close against you. Your editing and behavior here are way beyond the pale. Jytdog (talk) 23:16, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

It is than best to leave the content out until someone can get around to finding a reference to support it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:45, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

In view of the fact that 4 editors agree with it, and that is no misrepresentation as Jytdog mistakenly calls it, and the fact that this information has been in the article for years, I fail to see the hurry and strongly recommend to chill and give it a few days. Debresser (talk) 15:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Indigenous rights to land along rivers

Hi Jytdog, Thank you for your review for our page! The wiki page is actually still in progress and we will add more citations in 2-3 days. About the topic, we are student from UCB and this is actually our final project. The subsections are already set up and we do not have too much flexibility. Would you mind we move the section back to the page until the end of semester and also give us some advice about how should we improve in order to make it more related to the page topic? Thank you again! Ljqianl (talk) 23:00, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi User:Ljqianl thanks for your note. Wikipedia is the commons and governed by community policies and guidelines. Just like companies don't have the right to dump things into public waters, classes don't have the right to take over space in the commons for classwork. Can you see that? If you want to work privately feel free to move the article into User space and you can do (mostly) what you like there. (It is a little weird to do while there is an AfD running but people will probably continue cutting you all slack for that). If you don't know how to move an article I can do that for you. Jytdog (talk) 23:39, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi User:jytdog Thank you for your advice and we are 100% understand what you said! We will try to talk with our instructor and figure out what should we do for the following steps. Because our project are required to present on a wiki page, it might not work if we move it to the user space. But thank you again and we totally appreciate all of your suggestions!Ljqianl (talk) 23:19, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Climate Change Policy in the US questions

Hi Jytdog, I am contributing to the climate justice section of the Climate Change Policy in the US page, including the section on the "Climate Mayors." You asked for third-party sources in this section, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for unbiased third-party sources. I have an article from Fox News discussing specifically the March 28th, 2017 letter by the MNCAA, but I did not include it because I was unsure if it was a good source. What is the best way to source very recent developments such as this? Thanks!

That's an independent source and it seems to be reporting fairly decently. Would be surprising if that is the only one on this, but there it is. Please avoid placing too much emphasis on very recent events. WP is an encyclopedia. Jytdog (talk) 19:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

You probably saw it on her talk page, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Jennepicfoundation:_move_from_topic_ban_to_full_ban. Toddst1 (talk) 00:23, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Would you mind either changing your non-admin closure of this discussion to WP:SBAN or re-opening the discussion? As you've worded it, the editor can appeal a block, but the community was unanimous (so far) in supporting the SBAN which has a very different process for appeal. Any admin can unilaterally unblock a blocked user, but an un-ban requires consensus. Ks0stm was aware when he issued the block, assuming the discussion would continue [2]. All that said, I think your close was the right thing to do, but your comments are not quite in line with the community's consensus. Toddst1 (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations page

Hello Jytdog, Recently you flagged out article -- "Impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations page," formerlly "Environmental impacts of animal husbandry in the United States," and Socio-environmental impacts of animal agriculture" for deletion. Can we discuss why this happened and how to address the problems you found so that the article can be remediated? HELI (talk) 22:44, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry that you all didn't get better training about the mission of WP and the basic content policies and guidelines and that your assignment was to add policy-violating content to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not a site for advocacy.

There is a difference between writing NPOV, well-sourced articles about the effects that local polluters and other environmental disruptors have on nearby communities (which are often poor, and often people of color) and the way that law and policies have enabled that, and advocating for environmental justice.

The page is an essay that tries to make arguments. Stuff like "The topic of environmental justice is relevant because the adverse effects of CAFOs and other animal agriculture operations are often more concentrated around rural communities of color with largely agricultural economies. For example, consider....." is something you write in an essay (it also has no source - how could it? Whoever wrote that was writing the thesis of their essay). You don't find content like that in a Wikipedia article.

There is also what we call an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of stuff in the page. What does labelling have to do with the rest of the content there? Little to nothing that I can see.

As I noted in the deletion nomination, much of this stuff is covered already in other articles.

Again I get it that you were assigned to create this. I am sorry for that. Your instructor is new to Wikipedia and didn't really understand how this place works, and this has sucked for all of us. Jytdog (talk) 23:34, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

I didn't directly address the question. To fix it:

Remove all the advocacy and essay writing.

Fix the grammar and citations (ie "Trump’s reversal of the Stream Protection Rule lifting water pollution regulations on streams in the United States." (sentence fragment) and refs like #32 (used 5 times) and ref #12 each of which links to nothing and has no detail that would allow anyone to figure out what is being cited).

Look at existing articles to see where to integrate the content into existing content in other articles. Integrate it. There will probably be nothing left.

Nominate the empty page for speedy deletion using WP:G7. Jytdog (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Trazodone

Thank you for your message on my Talk page. I only made one edit on the Trazodone page, signed in the normal way. I am a professional chemist and was interested in the reports this week on a potential new use for Trazodone. The report I cited was from a reputable source (the BBC) and I have seen similar reports in many other sources. I checked that the scientists doing the work are reputable (they work at the MRC labs in the UK), although I agree that there may not yet be peer-reviewed publications from them regarding this particular development. I don't see why "the encyclopedia anyone can edit" should not report factually accurate and newsworthy information like this, so although I now bow to your superior knowledge of the editorial standards strived for in the medical articles I must say that I disagree with pedantically following such guidelines in relation to off label and investigative uses. I did not "hype" the new findings, merely reported them so that others, like me, who looked in Wikipedia to see what is known of the chemical in question would have the latest information. Mikedt10 (talk) 20:14, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying that the IP wasn't you! Sorry about that - people do that kind of thing all the time. Please do read WP:MEDRS and if you don't understand it, you might find WP:Why MEDRS? helpful. There is nothing pedantic about it - MEDRS has broad and deep consensus in the community, and for good reason. I hope you take the time to understand why. Jytdog (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

I have read WP:MEDRS and related material and approve of the general points and the need to cite secondary/tertiary sources. Does this mean that "investigative" work on existing medicines cannot be reported in Wikipedia? If they can, please help me understand how to write about them. For example, would some explicit caveat in the text be appropriate when adding a report only backed up by primary source(s)? If that is the way to go, then perhaps senior editors like yourself should add that caveat, rather than simply revert the offending reference.Mikedt10 (talk) 12:10, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

We look to offer the public accepted knowledge, not "this week's media circus". If there isn't a literature review that talks about this, it shouldn't be mentioned in Wikipedia. If you are at all familiar with the history of academic research in AD (or any field) you will know that we have cured Alzheimers (and cancer etc) in mice a zillion times, but pretty much every drug actually tested in humans for AD has failed. There are reasons for that. But what happens almost every week, is the following -- some academic scientist does experiments in mice, the university/institute puts out a press release about it, the press makes a little media circus for a while. Happens weekly about something. We don't partake in that. One of the ways we steer clear of it, is via high sourcing requirements. There is "investigative" work that is significant enough to be discussed in reviews. Research trends and well-developed (late clinical trials) drug candidates are discussed in reviews; we have content about them. Jytdog (talk) 14:43, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Stream Protection Rule

Greetings Jytdog,

I am a part of a group of students at UC Berkeley who were editing the Stream Protection Rule page. Thank you for some of your edits, but we would like to ask why did you restructure the article? Additionally, you removed some crucial elements of the SPR history, environmental impact, and environmental justice components. It would be beneficial to include these in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jibrilkyser (talk • contribs) 00:21, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, pls clarify why do you deep link the Boston Globe article in David Samadi's page? Also pls clarify if you have a COI ref David Samadi.Evonomix (talk) 10:49, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

I have no connection with Samadi. As I wrote on your Talk page, I work on COI issues along with my regular editing, and if you take a glance at the beige box at the top of the Talk page you will see that this article has been the subject of boatloads of conflicted editing, so I have had to work on it a lot. We have discussed the Globe reference already on the Talk page and I recommended what you could do it you wish to challenge it. Jytdog (talk) 15:35, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

We are always trying to retain and to recruit new editors. Teaching rather than snark is probably the more productive approach in that arena.

No Jytdog. You are ignoring the advice. This is a collaborative project and new editors are needed. You can side step and deflect the advice or you can see that two people in a short time are asking you to treat people as if they matter to this project. I have no need to support an editor on this article with Montana's experience. I am however frustrated when we as a project treat people badly and feel bound to speak up about it.

That RfC

I am not sure how many times I have to repeat that I did not start that RfC. I was asked to commented on it and so that is what I was doing (it was a delayed response because I haven't had time to look at anything here for most of this month). From what I understand, your position is that the labor of wikipedia editors is more important than the content itself. Your being someone who puts a lot of effort into maintaining a certain standard at wikipedia, I can understand your position. I also understand your evocation of the policies. This is why I myself did not start an RfC, but it is there and I do not see why I am required to be pious toward the work of others when I find that, ultimately, the result is less than satisfactory. You call this disrespectful. Ok. I do not believe that the work of the wikipedia community is to be put above the content. There are no new or additional sources. True. But the section in question tends, in my humble opinion, towards a particular point of view. This is clear when you bring up the fact that community members in past RfCs expressed suspicions that the school is a diploma mill, a view which is expressed (indirectly, perhaps, but only slightly) in the article on the basis of a website from a single state in a single country. I do not see how the expression of suspicion by the article is any worse than the promotional campaign - it is not neutral. I also understand that consensus is important here, to the point wikipedia couldn't function without it. Nonetheless, consensus is sometimes wrong and I am within my right here as well as within the guidelines to express my position in that regard in an RfC that I DID NOT start and was asked to comment upon. My position is that the content ought to be removed to avoid a war of opinion between the promotion campaign and the 'suspicious ones'. If it were so cut and dry that the previous RfCs had solved this problem then Mootros wouldn't have opened the RfC. My comments are simply follow from DGG and Markbassett, both who raised the question as to whether or not there is enough information to say anything at all about the school's accreditation and whether providing such information is in any case relevant enough to include. That my position, following from the comments of these two, requires the removal of community work is unfortunate and I am sorry that it offends you. I have more respect for the information provided by wikipedia than I do for any single editor or group of editors. It is no surprise to me that in a situation where a handful of people put considerably more effort into maintaining that information (and necessarily so), a politics of labor hierarchy would arise. Your most recent responses to me are aggressive and I consider them to be needless attacks which are personal-political and interpretive and I would appreciate that you keep in mind that, until this point, (and I am again repeating myself), I have been nothing but acquiescent towards you. Respectfully, Wildgraf quinn (talk) 11:47, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Having been part of the group of editors who lived through the really ugly battering of the page by EGS advocates, seeing this raise its head again is just... ugly. I never said that you started the RfC, so your raising of that is not relevant. What is cut and dry is the history of POV battering, which your comments on the Talk page and here are fully aligned with. Jytdog (talk) 15:16, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

My point is that the current state of the section expresses a particular POV. This was (as I understand) the reason the RfC was started and my entire line of argumentation was to suggest the removal the possibility altogether (of POV regarding the accreditation status of the school, which, in all likelihood, is not relevant information for a wikipedia entry). My comments to Mootros were on the basis of "why" they started the RfC and the manner in which the question/problem was worded. Their underlying issue seems to be a biased/non-neutral application of sources and I do not believe the wording of the RfC did enough to express that - that is all. I do not see how my comments are POV battering. How am I supposed to know (I'm not) the extent to which past RfCs may have been resolved in a manner that was reactionary towards the "POV battering" and promotional campaign of the school? I've read some of it, as you know, and it is indeed very nasty (at times, both sides). It is by an astonishing logic that I become lumped in with the article's past - a past I have simply tried to clean up - simply because I do not agree that the work of the community has gotten it unequivocally right. I'm not sure if continuing a back and forth about this is in any way constructive for either of us, so I apologize for that. I just don't like some of the nastiness and subtleness (and/or passive aggressive insinuation) I perceive in your posts to me. We are obviously not going to come to any agreement on this and so, again, respectfully, Wildgraf quinn (talk) 22:59, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying. Please stop repeating it. You are not getting it. No further sources have emerged that would produce a change in the consensus under the policies and guidelines and all you are doing is trying to bulldoze a change. Your attitude remains disrespectful of the work the community has done. You do not have to agree with the consensus, but you need to respect it. Jytdog (talk) 23:06, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Intention was not to "bulldoze" - point noted. Thanks. Wildgraf quinn (talk) 17:30, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I hadn't had my first cup of tea yet...

I just don't want to give the article creator any loophole they can use to request undeletion of it! I've had my cup of tea now and I welcome your participation in the AfD discussion.

Proposal for a page

Dear Jytdog,

As previously you have contributed to Wikipedia in regards to financial articles, would you, please, consider writing an article on Creamfinance? It is a global financial services company that provides personal finance products in emerging markets. The company was ranked as the second fastest-growing company in Europe in 2016. Creamfinance is employing over 220 people and operating in 7 countries both within and outside of Europe – Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, Georgia, Denmark and Mexico with an IT office in Austria.

I believe it corresponds to the Wikipedia notability rules as it has been talked about in legitimate third party sources:

If you wish I have put together a first draft for the page and can send it you.

According to Wikipedia guidelines I want to underline that I am a Project Manager at Golin Riga and I have been approached by Creamfinance to help with their representation on Wikipedia.

I wanted to say that I too think your edit summary to the brand new editor was an unnecessary and harmful putdown, to put it no more strongly. The edit summary you responded to may have been "remarkable", but it was also quite typical of well-meaning newbies, as was the whole edit. In this case, a newbie who seemed to have good potential to learn Wikipedia's culture and customs.

I want to say this again. My comment in the now closed thread had nothing to do with Montana although in a round about way I was supporting her. I was concerned about an earlier cmt Jytdog had made which I felt was a negative view of well-meaning editors who bothered to cmt in an RfD. His "A kneejerk "there are plenty of sources so keep" !vote does the subject and the spirit of the community consensus that generated and maintains BLP as a policy, a real disservice." implies editors don't think deeply or carefully which isn't very fair. I tried to make my cmt in response to that light and mild - [4]. When I saw another cmt here which did not support a new editor I really felt frustrated and so commented again. I would have commented no matter who had written the comment. I do respect Montana and have watch listed her for about 10 years; she has written a huge number of excellent articles for Wikipedia and I will continue to support her if I feel she needs support. That happens seldom actually. This was not about piling up on anyone; that's backwards. It was about agreeing that an attack on a new editor doesn't serve us very well. We all can get to places where we speak in a way that doesn't serve the encyclopedia. I have tried to treat you with respect, Jytdog and have stayed out of your way most of the time even when I disagree with you. I will continue to do that.(Littleolive oil (talk) 01:59, 26 April 2017 (UTC))

Jytdog, do you know that the "just have little patience (ack)" feeling is mutual? Perhaps you don't realize how mean-spirited you come across, but your block record shows that I am not alone in noticing that you should work on this. I cannot speculate as to your motives, but you can really be harsh. Bishonen) is giving you good advice -- for your own sake, it's important that you listen when you are told to dial it back by people from different "sides". Montanabw^(talk) 22:32, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Following me and attacking my referenced relevant edits

My reference to a vendor's listing mentioning "Equipoise", the item's name, is to support the existence and use of that name. The vendor was chosen at random, and it is no more spam, like you call it, than mentioning Microsoft or Amazon as it is done commonly within Wikipedia articles to reference a product. A more useful and constructive action from your part would be to find another source, or request one, without merely putting the article on your chopping board. Also, you suppress the brand name ("Equipoise") under which the substance is universally known. It is like suppressing the trade name "Aspirin" when referring to acetylsalicylic acid. And, stop attacking and undoing/deleting my referenced relevant edits with no explanation, akin to vandalism. You were warned before about this. Thank you 50.187.63.48 (talk) 19:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

That article has been on my watchlist for a while and I fixed it already, twenty minutes before you even wrote here. Please stop adding spammy references to Wikipedia. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 19:34, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

You are missing the point and, you use the tactics of making changes after an undo to obfuscate 50.187.63.48 (talk) 19:45, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Nope, I reverted an invalid edit that previously been reverted by someone else, and made a valid one. You are now just making drama and, wow - you re-added the spam link. I am bringing you to the EWN. Jytdog (talk) 19:50, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

You keep missing the point. My edits were valid. The reference sources I chose were random among the many suitable ones, and yet sufficient to prove the existence of the common trade names in question. I have no vested interest in those sources. Furthermore, you ended up incorporating my contribution into your final edit, providing a spammy "drugs.com" instead, an eyeballs catching website that pushes advertising, as your reference. Also, you keep reverting editors' contributions with no explanation, akin to vandalism. If anything, your action constitute edit warring. I am satisfied by now that your final edits incorporated my contribution, albeit with a low quality reference. Therefore I will not pursue a revert of your last revert. 50.187.63.48 (talk) 20:52, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Nope you used a pure spam ref. We use drugs.com very widely. Although it has ads it is a very good objective ref. Jytdog (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

The main point is that any vendor or site, regardless of whether they market or not merchandise, even in ways that you dismissively call "spam", is sufficient as a reference to prove the existence of the common trade names in question. Now, if MANY vendors sale the same product named with the same brand name, then that becomes a reality, and that is what is being mentioned in the article about such product. It does not matter if that merchandise trade name is not mentioned in an academic or trade journal, etc. You keep being blinded by the fact that some reference might be "spam", and yet such a mainstream site is just fine to show a brand name exists, and that it is being used and sold as such. This applies to boldenone, to GW501516 and to any other merchandise. That is why my edits were and are valid. 50.187.63.48 (talk) 22:22, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Received a message from you "you reverted Drmies... Drmies is an admin and arb; this was probably unwise of you"

That particular point that was edited has been, and continues to be, searching for a consensus. To make that edit simply ignores the discussion.

Please keep in mind that being an admin and arb doesn't make you special. As Jimmy Wales put it, "I want to dispel the aura of "authority" around the position." Wilfred Brown (talk) 22:18, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Unnecessary reverts at Howard A. Kelly

Jytdog - I believe you are making unnecessary reverts on a page while it would have been better to flag the page, leave a comment, or make the changes yourself. This would have been sufficient action for an article with non-neutral language. As to your other complaint, I am the students' instructor, am familiar with the literature, and confirm they have not plagiarized their sources and have appropriately cited everything. You have not fixed anything, only thrown out the baby with the bathwater. I am warning you to undo your latest revert as it is unproductive and the sort of behavior which leads to edit wars.

Ibogaine

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ibogaine&oldid=prev&diff=777894147, I strongly urge you to 'find the best source [you] can' for this improvement -- which is entirely accurate and up to date. Since the block to getting it accepted would be yourself, you would be best placed to decide what meets the standard of non-spamminess and acceptability. May I suggest https://thethirdwave.co/ibogaine-legality/ which I find to be on the same level of acceptability as the citation you replaced of http://www.ibogaine.co.uk ?

More embarrassingly, the 2015 URL you prefer to revert -- http://www.drugscope.org.uk/resources/drugsearch/drugsearchpages/ibogaine -- leads to a 404 page. You should know not to do *that*!

On a personal note, this sort of thing is why I have not bothered to try and improve Wikipedia for many years now. Pthag (talk) 09:04, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Or, perhaps http://www.drugwise.org.uk/ibogaine/ Which is where drugscope.com redirects to. Jim1138 (talk) 09:42, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

The issue with this source is that it fails entirely to describe the actual legal situation, post-Psychoactive Substances Act. This change in legislation is what provided the stimulus for the edit in the first place and so although it is perfectly suitable for the status of ibogaine in 2015, it is inadequate for the present.

FYI

Your recent editing history shows that you may be engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Please accept this good faith suggestion.}

Spinal muscular atrophy

Hi, re. your revert in spinal muscular atrophy, you might have made a mistake when calling information on patient registries an "advertisement". I encourage you to take a look at this: [7]. I also intend to update this section with mentions of other SMA registries across the globe. Regards, — kashmiri ^TALK 18:01, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

It is a kind of borderline thing. If there are independent, secondary sources discussing them, sure some content simply describing them is Ok. Some of them are quite important in doing things like building biobanks with associated clinical information.

But using WP to make people aware of them or to urge people to sign up is a blatant violation of WP:PROMO. As I noted use of Wikipedia to promote anything be it a video game or a cause, is not OK.

This specific edit is further complicated in that it was made by someone who appears to be associated with the registry or the organization running it. Jytdog (talk) 18:12, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Yes, agree, Wikipedia should not encourage people to signing up to registries, especially that CT support is only one of several functions of well-designed registries (that's not the case with SMA registries, unfortunately). I will keep your comments in mind when proposing new text for this section. — kashmiri ^TALK 18:51, 3 May 2017 (UTC)m

At the same time, I would not really expect a multitude of secondary sources discussing each national registry. However, if are ok with mentioning registries on WP, then personally I am fine with grabbing info from TREAT-NMD or whatever reliable source, even if technically primary. — kashmiri ^TALK 18:54, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Yep and gathering a list of registries and sourcing that only to each registry's website is not what WP is for either. That would be something that to do on the webpage of a disease advocacy organization or the like. Jytdog (talk) 19:12, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Brain Fingerprinting

Hi Jytdog,

I'm a little perplexed by your crusade against brain fingerprinting, and in particular the insinuation that there is a study which supports the notion that it is less reliable than the polygraph. Do you have any sources other than the Verge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mreagle (talk • contribs) 07:56, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Mreagle: Please assume good faith from other users. You've provided no counter sources to demonstrate that there's anything wrong with the source cited. Your claims that the source is just that author's opinion indicates that you haven't actually read the source because it is his report regarding the neuroscience community's assessments and questions regarding it. It reviews other sources in scientific literature. If you have read it, then your assessment of it can only be described as dishonest. When you provide a counter-argument against that source, it needs to be another source that explicitly shows that the scientific community accepts Brain Fingerprinting -- not law-enforcement, not courts, and not just you (we do not accept original research). Ian.thomson (talk) 08:19, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I'm not sure that your suggestion is entirely well founded. If you read the article, as I have, you will see that the quote which Jytdog has used is not in fact even in reference to the polygraph study. Ignoring the irony in your comment regarding assumption of good faith and subsequent allegations of dishonesty, I take issue with the notion that I must provide a second source. Not only is the comment quoted literally just the opinion of a journalist on another site (and therefore no more valid than my own opinion) but there is no issue with challenging the logic of a study based on its method. That is the way that science works. We do not simply assume that something is valid until it is proven to be invalid. This study, if you read it, is actually a literature review, which basically threw together disparate studies with different methods and pooled their results. It is, then, unsurprising that the results were inconsistent. Current brain fingerprinting research shows no false positives across many trials in some protocols. Taking this one literature review is therefore an inaccurate representation of the state of play in this area. Finally, your assertion that the Courts are not valid authority is absurd. What would you suggest they rely on if not scientific testimony? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mreagle (talk • contribs) 08:47, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles. There's a list of them. But not anonymously.

Flow

I saw your post[10] at 2017_wikitext_editor/Feedback.

How do I preview?? Wow I have no idea how this thing works.

I figured it would be better to offer my Flow-rant reply here, rather than there. When Flow was being designed, many editors said it couldn't be deployed without proper wikitext support. The lead designer explicitly stated that he wanted to kill off wikitext. He said he was going to build what he wanted to build, and the WMF would decide about deployment whether we liked it or not. Flow was fundamentally built around Visual Editor. Later they grafted on a second editing mode.... a wikitext simulator. It was an unholy hack. The answer to your question is that there's a pencil-icon at the bottom-right of the edit window. You can click that, then click which mode you want to use. It has no actual preview. You're supposed to use Visual mode as a fake preview.

Flow literally can't save wikitext. If you switch to "wikitext mode", you can type in wikitext. But when you save or "preview", it throws your wikitext away. It translates it into VisualEditor format (HTML/RDFa). When you're done previewing and go back to wikitext mode, or if you save and try to edit it again later, it invents new and fictional wikitext. That new wikitext usually resembles the wikitext you originally typed in. The new wikitext usually renders the same as what you typed. The new wikitext is usually not completely broken. (In other words, saving or merely previewing often mangles your wikitext, and in some cases completely destroys it.)

It's so broken that merely reverting an edit can damage the original version. It's so broken that it can generate "tumors". What's a tumor? Each time you preview or save, it does a round trip translation. Round trip translations can generate expanding garbage. Each time you preview or save, you get expanding garbage in the middle of the wikitext. It takes very specific wikitext to trigger that sort of tumor, but it illustrates just how broken the design is.

The story just gets worse. Recently the WMF ran a survey of users, asking about Flow. They WP:Canvassed that survey as hard as possible. On some wikis, people can opt-in to activate Flow as their user_talk page. The WMF posted survey invitations onto the talk page of everyone who actively opted into to Flow. There were also a small number of neutral survey-announcements posted to community pages.

There were various survey questions, but the most notable question was for "Prefer Flow" / "Neutral" / "Prefer Wikitext". After canvasing the survey as hard as possible in favor of Flow, the results were 38% prefer Flow, 10% neutral, 52% prefer wikitext. Even after massive canvassing, "strongly prefer wikitext" outnumbered "prefer Flow" and "strongly Prefer Flow" combined.

Based on this survey of the community feedback on Flow, the report recommends that the WMF resume development of Flow, it recommends that the WMF seek to expand deployment of Flow.

And this all circles back to the 2017_wikitext_editor. In case you missed it, there was 90+% consensus at Village Pump to block deployment.[11] Visual Editor renders various things wrong, and both Flow and the New editor use the Visual-Editor engine to generate defective previews. Flow has far more serious problems due to damaging the page-source itself, but they all suffer from the same rendering flaws. Alsee (talk) 05:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Oh! Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 12:36, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot to mention.... Mediawiki has been configured to default everyone into a Flow user_talk page. If you'd prefer a normal talk page on that wiki, I believe there's a trick you can use. Right now your user talk on that wiki is a redlink - there isn't actually a page there. The system displays a fictional Flow board, which is only created if&when someone tried to use it. I believe it's possible to create a wikitext page somewhere else, and then page-move it to your user_talk address. There's nothing at the destination to block the move.

Revision: Anatabine

Hello!

I saw that you reverted my edit on the anatabine page, so I thought I'd come here to discuss it with you. Since I am a new editor, I am trying to learn from any reverts, so I appreciate your patience and participation. As a reminder, the information in question is below:

In 2013, the company became embroiled in political scandal, when news broke that the governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, and his wife had received significant loans and gifts from Jonnie Williams Sr, the CEO of the company. Williams resigned in 2014 and the company changed its name at the same time it changed its board and management, at the end of 2013 due to the scandal.

In your revert of my deletion, you gave the reasoning that "this is very relevant to commercial development of the drug. it belongs in this section." However, I do not understand why a political scandal involving the CEO of a company that happens to make this drug is relevant to the product development of this specific drug. I would understand if the scandal involved the drug itself, such as in the preceding paragraph which talks about the unlawful promotion of the drug, but that is not the case here.

Therefore, could you please explain your rationale for keeping this information in the Anatabine#Commercial Development section in greater detail to me?

Help

Hi Jytdog..I am at a loss...While I was liaising with you and left my revised manuscript on my Talk page for your attention as directed , I waited without response which I thought rather odd because you are usually prompt to reply...This morning the article was deleted by Kurykh. I was overwhelmed by the extensive amount of information which I read on various links on WP unfortunately without much use as to what I need to do next...However I have recreated the page (without my middle name , which I thought will be less confusing when searching me on the web) and submitted it for revision as required... and a copy of it is still on my talk page... Sorry to keep bothering you , my excuse is that I am 73 yr. old...Regards --Widmun (talk) 15:48, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

I see that you re-created the article in your userspace. User:Widmun/Muneer Al-Ali. As I mentioned to you, nothing can be in Wikipedia that is not based on a reliable source. Nothing you posted on the article talk page was useful, as it wasn't cited to reliable sources. The original article was deleted based on a valid, and validly closed, deletion discussion (here). There is nothing to be done now, unless more reliable sources with substantial discussion of you, come to light. Jytdog (talk) 17:06, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

..." Thanks...what I have added is factual i.e. DOB, my movement into jobs in the world, my academic posts and degrees...How can anybody document such facts? Publications of papers and books already been documented.. Regards--Widmun (talk) 22:07, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Facts need to be documented. Have a look at other biographies. Jytdog (talk) 22:09, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Warning on disruptive editing

Thanks for you warning, now comes mine. I originally assumed good Faith in Your edits. Even when other users told otherwise i still looked for common ground regarding content questions on the particular article and agf in what you did. Yet you did not seem to do the same if it comes to other editors in case they are not 100 percent on your side. For you it seems it does not count what RS tell, no but more what you want to see here personally on WP,- he best example is your absolute urge to include the particular point of German nationalism in the infobox of the party albeit you are till now neither able to give a single reliable source to that claim nor do you seem willing to understand what this ideology actually means. And now you try to push an even more blatant POV in the first sentence of the article, without even changing the sources.Well, If it is not obvious now what is going on here it probably never will be. In case you continue with such behaviour that violates WP guidelines sanctions are possible or could become necessary. This personal warning gets a bit more distinct on the matter instead of your fear aiming pre written example you liked to put on my talk page without any grounds behind. --Joobo (talk) 22:24, 13 May 2017 (UTC) Joobo (talk) 22:24, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Got WP:COPYVIO detection tips?

Hi there! I saw that you caught a WP:COPYVIO on Virtual Reality today that I missed when I approved the pending change. Could you give me some tips or best practices for detecting WP:COPYVIO so they don't get past me again? Are you using a tool? Should I be? Thanks! – 𝕘wendy | ☎  02:19, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

To be honest I didn't believe that the editor wrote the content - it was too colorful and magazine-y, and not normal encyclopedia writing, which led me to go check it. There is a tool that people use, CopyPatrol, but I don't use it. Jytdog (talk) 02:36, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I'll start with being more critical of the writing then. I took a look at CopyPatrol, but I'm not so interested in copyright that I want to patrol for it. Thanks & good catch! – 𝕘wendy | ☎  03:01, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Creationism and cat:denialism

Creationism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) has a category:denialism. I don't see any mention of such in the article. At least with the An IP has removed it twice. Should the category remain? The category fits, but seems unsupported. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 20:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

I think your name appeared in some of the discussions about this. See WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Harassment from XIIIfromTokyo in case you want to propose how to resolve this. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

OK, I weighed in there. ugh. Jytdog (talk) 19:48, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for all the background you provided. Now I am curious about the relative merit of the French and English articles, so I looked at fr:Institut d'études politiques de Paris. Not too impressive! There is a 'multiple issues' template at the top which appears well justified. I don't know if this is a case of promotional editing. It just looks like it is packed full of excessive details and needs someone to figure out what's important. EdJohnston (talk) 04:02, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Stop being obstructionist

I realize you do not like me — but please refrain from reverting just based off that. If you followed the history of that page I have edited and helped build it extensively — and if you disagree with anything I do please take that to the appropriate venue — or at least try to discuss it and look to the history of the page. In case you missed it, I was the one who inserted that formulation at the start, and it frankly does not hold to give clear rules on a guide page. Look to the talk page and you will see a comment about why "it is inappropriate" is better wording than "you should not". Don't go around telling me that my conduct on policy pages in general is objectionable, that is rude and in fact far more objectionable. Carl Fredrik ^talk 13:19, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I like you just fine. Your approach to PAG is generally incorrect, is all. Happy to discuss the specific issue at the talk page. Jytdog (talk)

(edit conflict)What you are doing can easily be construed as WP:HARASSMENT, strengthened by your edit comment: this is how most people view this. as on MEDRS, please stop treating policies/guidiines like topdown rulebooks, which is absolutely inaccurate. Please refrain from reverting. Carl Fredrik ^talk 13:24, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I would also add that I object strongly with your approach to PAGs, and therefore suggest you discuss any and all issues before reverting me. Especially so before reverting repeatedly on grounds that are objectively false. Carl Fredrik ^talk 13:26, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Be aware that you are at WP:3RR on Help:Maintenance template removal. Please refrain from reverting, especially when your grounds are objectively false. Carl Fredrik ^talk 13:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Oh calm yourself Carl. Have opened a discussion at the talk page hereJytdog (talk) 13:28, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I may have acted somewhat rashly here, but since I know you and I are here for the same reasons, and have the encyclopaedias best at heart — I would prefer avoiding blanket-reverts either which way. When we both have good intentions I think it's far more disruptive to remove attempted improvements — than to discuss them for a few minutes/days and then see whether or not they actually hold water. For example, we would avoid the issue where I restore something I changed myself, for it to be reinstated with the argument that it had been there for a long time… Carl Fredrik ^talk 13:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Jytdog — Looking at the history, I realize I made a mistake when I remembered my original edit on the page. However I still contend that "should not" is an inappropriate wording. Please forgive my transgression, but you really need to rethink when you're going to revert someone. Being rude and harassing others by bringing up previous altercations is calling for a tempest in a teapot. I really wish we could work together, but you seem to attack everyone who has the slightest difference in opinion to you.

Note that I did not revert myself because you threatened with EWN, but because I realized I was wrong and had incorrectly recalled what my change 48 hours ago was. Carl Fredrik ^talk 14:00, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

In fact the best guideline to cite to express what you are doing wrong is WP:OWNERSHIP — and reverting good faith changes on multiple pages, especially with reference to previous times you engaged in such behavious is WP:HARASSMENT and incates you primarily reverted because you are following someone around, trying to stop them from engaging in PAGs. Carl Fredrik ^talk 14:02, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Glad you figured out what you were actually doing. :) Jytdog (talk) 14:03, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

And by the way, my involvement at the help page and MEDRS pre-dates yours. And especially at this exact section of the help instructions. If you try to bring a case that I followed you to either page, that would fall flat. Please mind what is actually happening in this too. Jytdog (talk) 14:06, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

That is not the issue. The issue is that you reverted with reference that you do not like my interpretation of PAGs in general. That would indicate WP:HOUNDING, and is not acceptable. Especially so as you discourage editing PAGs at all by singling out editors you disagree with. Carl Fredrik ^talk 14:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

You are making drama over something simple. You have aggressively made changes to two guidance documents that I watch, and the changes themselves, the way you have tried to force them in, and your arguments for them, have tended to depart from community practice and views on guidance documents and how we work with them. You have no hounding argument to make here. If you want to try at ANI, please feel free but it will not fly. Jytdog (talk) 14:18, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Note

I have already asked that you refrain from posting on my talk, especially not with bullying threats like that. If you want to discuss this at ANI, I ask that you do this after June 13th when I will be able to defend myself. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:01, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

The diffs are what they are. The community will consider what you have actually been doing in WP. Jytdog (talk) 15:17, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I will refrain from editing both pages until June 13th, so long as I am given an opportunity to give myself a fair hearing on ANI. This is fair. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:22, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I will also self-revert my changes on German nationalism. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

In response to your note on my talk, I realise you do a lot of useful work on GMO, climate change and vaccine related pages, but this is fundamentally a dispute about the definition of the term German nationalism, and it can't be that everyone who disagreed with you on the talk is a bad faith editor. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:33, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Although I shouldn't have to do this, I am happy to disclose that I am a member of a mainstream political party in the United Kingdom, and I voted remain in the EU referendum. I have nothing whatsoever to do with right-wing populist politics, but I have a professional specialism in European history and politics, and that's why I feel strongly about the definition of the term. As I said, I will remove myself from wikipedia until June, in particular from those two pages. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:35, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I have said I will observe a voluntary topic ban for the next month, and revert my recent changes, if you agree to postpone taking me to ANI until I am able to defend myself. Please let me know if this is acceptable to you. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Popping in before I bury myself in RW stuff. You said above you would self-revert. You have not. If you have reconsidered the validity of your edit and justification for it (both are important) then please do self-revert. That would remove a piece of evidence and would affect my thinking about the ANI. If on the other hand you stand by it, then you stand by it. Jytdog (talk) 15:55, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I haven't and I stand by it. Since you're not going to be fair, I'll leave a note on WP:AN. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 16:06, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

The hole that you have dug, is entirely your own. That you are busy with drama rather than dealing with the heart of the matter, is also entirely your own doing and only adding to the diffs that I will bring to ANI. Jytdog (talk) 16:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

And you have now acknowledged that the edit was "sloppy". Yet you "stand by it" (diff). Jytdog (talk) 16:32, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Reversion of Strength and Conditioning Coach article

Hi, just wondering why published journals are as bad articles? According to Wikipedia, they are: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Good research. Is there something I'm missing? Also, the Daily Mail reference was a joint article between them and the Rugby Players Association, a reputable source. Also, reputable newspapers such as the Independent and the Telegraph are used in other articles on Wikipedia. Why were they not allowed in this article? Just interested to understand, thanks. TGB13 (talk) 20:35, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Further, my edit wasn't vandalism or disruptive. There appears to have been not much regard for this article either: Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary. Was all of the edit really necessary to revert? TGB13 (talk) 20:39, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

You had some good refs but many, many bad ones. Please use high quality, independent sources. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 03:41, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Okay, good point. Does that warrant a complete revert of the whole edit? Considering many points were supported by a variety of references, surely it would make more sense to just delete the articles you feel aren't "high quality and independent". I will undo your revert and remove some newspaper references, I assume those are you objection? TGB13 (talk) 18:53, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks refs are much better this time. It really matters!! Jytdog (talk) 19:00, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I think i had enough

Just wanted to note that i think i have enough of the RfC talk. This whole episode is exactly why i never made an account or contribute in a long term and meaningful way. I am unwilling to tilt winmills, have too little patience and a too low a tolerance for certain tactics of discussion that are all too common all across Wikipedia. I mean, i just dont get what i can do and how to go on or what else could be done, although it certainly seems as if exactly that feeling is wanted, which again is all too common all around. I am also sure that if i check the talk my inner idiot will tell me to respond again and i will cave in... so maybe deep down i do like to tilt at windmills haha... anyway, have a good one i guess. Will keep an eye out on the article talk anyway because im quite curious in a sense how this will turn out. I mean i know how it will turn out but i am interested in further comments despite my resignation... ah well, what else is there to be done other than using sources against oppinion. If that is not enough, well there never was a chance anyway. Have to accept that and move on. Wikipedia is little more than fast food knowledge anyway and no reader gives a second thought about... basicaly anything. But that is another issue altogether that i probably shouldn't even have mentioned... alas my inner idiot told me to tilt at windmills again haha 91.49.68.199 (talk) 16:00, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

In regards to the Alternative für Deutschland Rfc for my mini rant, just to minimize possible confusion.91.49.68.199 (talk) 16:04, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

As you will. You haven't actually !voted in the RfC and you may want to consider doing so. Please keep in mind that at RfCs people often very different points of view and it is not possible that people see eye to eye. So you give your reasoning and sources, and other people find them persuasive, or they don't. Jytdog (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

I obviously full well realise that i have not voted, nor do i intend to. Firstly i dont think it is appropriate for me as an IP to take a vote. Secondly after lurking around for a long time i noticed IP votes are mostly even seen in a negative "single purpose" like context. I rather "lose", in the loosest of terms and for lack of better words, than make myself or my point look like a pestering nuisance IP vandal or whatever. I rather keep a certain level of integrity than go all out about "winning", again same as above, a meaningless debate with strangers on a website. Rather die proud than win i guess. And yes im quite far on the left wing, for european standards, which is the third reason i do not intend to vote. I am biased against the AfD, strongly so. So i give my oppinion supported by sources rather than actually taking an active part in a decision because i MIGHT be guided emotionaly. But providing an oppinion supported by sources frees me from that personal conflict of interest in my oppinon and i see no harm in doing so. Anyway, i have no plan on taking a vote. If people take oppinion and assertions over sources, so be it and as i said before, there was no hope anyway. Have a nice day anyway. 91.49.68.199 (talk) 18:45, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

as you will. thanks for sharing your thoughts. Jytdog (talk) 18:52, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

It is kind of funny how predictable Wikipedia is. See, i am just an ip and not a user, easily disregarded and i didnt even vote. And this is the norm all across. Not a way to win editors. 91.49.68.199 (talk) 21:30, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

My my... that is one big ideologically driven mess there, you have my sympathies, as little as they help. Anyway, i would offer to look for some german language sources (am i allowed to offer that here?). There surely will be an abundance of accademical texts and so on about the topic. But as with the other article i will stay out of anything other than that. Certainly won't post at AN lol, i have no suicide wish despite having nothing to worry about. Would still look horrible and have no credibility. But maybe do take a deep breath, getting mad at shit like that will only annoy yourself and no one else, not that you need or want unsolicited advice from a random person :) But anyway, do have a good day non the less 91.49.64.221 (talk) 22:10, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Ilikerabbits! and 123.231.* — gravely immoral

I had already composed this message but was unsure who to ask, then noticed you did the last revert, so here it is:
these edits creep in again and again, I'm not sure what to do about it. No immediate warnings to the last IP addresses, but there were (including to Ilikerabbits!), to invite discussion here, but no evidence of any conversation so far other than through edit summaries...
Articles of interest where the same addresses/user edits: Birth control, Reproductive rights, Young Earth creationism, Authorship of the Bible, Biblical literalist chronology, Women in Christianity, Christian views on slavery, Abortion and the Catholic Church (I've not checked extensively yet if all of those edits were necessarily problematic, except some repeated ones obviously are)...
Is this of a high enough gravity that I should worry or open an ANI case? Or do we keep reverting forever?
Involved addresses (that I know): 123.231.124.98, 123.231.121.246, 123.231.107.255.
123.231.107.255 was due for enough warnings reached, but then Ilikerabbits! and other addresses were also used.
Thanks in advance for your advice. — PaleoNeonate — 14:29, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for picking this up! Admins will be mostly likely to respond if you do two things. File at WP:RPP to temporarily semi-protect the affected articles and ask for an indef per NOTHERE at ANI, linking to the separate PP request. (and go back and link to the ANI at RPP). At ANI I recommend concisely presenting the diffs, making it clear that the editor is adding unsourced POV content and apparently editing while logged out. If you need help with that I could do that tonight but I have to go do RW stuff now. Jytdog (talk) 14:38, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. It would be my first ANI report. I have to shortly leave myself too, but I can't say that the edits occur more than once or twice a day, and other editors have been reverting most of it regularily, so it can certainly wait a few more hours. I'll carefully reread your recommendations before filing it if I do. — PaleoNeonate — 14:52, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Pharmavite

J - I was going to remove all mention of the vit E class action and its resolution, but hesitated because it was part of company's history. However, I am comfortable with that being deleted, along with the mentions of products and production sites. Bigger picture is that most of the mid- to large-sized supplement companies are constantly dealing with threats of or actual class action lawsuits ever since the Dannon yogurt decision. The resultant trend has been a reining in of egregious and unsubstantiated health claims. A few companies deliberately continue to skate near the thin ice, and others are just plain stupid. Whether any of that is Wikipedia-worthy may best be decided on a case by case basis. There are a few that cratered so spectacularly that it was an essential part of the description of the company (Sensa, Airborne, etc.). David notMD (talk) 15:11, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

people often come to WP to write about litigation in a way that favors one side or just publicizes it - we get this from all sides including lawyers trying to build class action cases. it is just one more reason to never add unsourced content to Wikipedia, and always follow high quality secondary sources that provide actual context, etc.. If settled/completed litigation is discussed in such sources, content about it is almost always DUE. whether ongoing litigation discussed in high quality refs is DUE has been debated. i reckon sometimes it is.

with regard to your assessment of marketing by dietary supplement companies -- they constantly spew bullshit and hype and there is zero sign of any "reining in". it continues unabated. do not write bullshit on my talk page. Jytdog (talk) 15:33, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 804 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

If you're not willing to engage in dialogue which is what a user talk page is for - and only willing to issue threatening "formal notices" incorrectly stating that I have edited BLPs - you will forgive me for not taking too much heed of what you are saying. Amisom (talk) 21:21, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

I will say it for the 3rd time. I am very happy to reply in more detail but it belongs on the article talk page. You are apparently unaware of how WP works. Article Talk pages are for discussing the article. Everybody watching the article can see it, and can participate, and the conversation becomes part of the article's history, that anybody can see, easily. Having discussions about article content at user talk pages makes no sense, as it does none of the things above. This is what article Talk pages are for.

User Talk pages are for discussing editor behavior or other matters - sure people can discuss article content at user Talk pages, but people shouldn't. Again if you ask your question at the Talk page, I will reply there.

Finally, notice of DS is not a threat, as the notice specifically states. Jytdog (talk) 00:04, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

What is your problem? All I did was ask two simple questions: (1) What was your reasoning behind the Shneur Odze edit, and (2) What does "BLP DS" mean? I didn't ask you to make some huge fusspot about exactly where I posted the question, you could just have answered politely like a normal person. And, indeed, Wikipedia:User talk clearly says I was right to ask you here: Talk pages are administration pages where editors can discuss improvements to articles. And if you were really, really concerned that the discussion should have taken place somewhere else, you could have copied it over, and not just been a WP:DICK and refused to engage at all. If you think that I am "unaware of how WP works" that's all the more reaosn to try to be helpful.

And the "DS alert" was a threat and you know it. All I did was ask what "BLP DS" stood for. You could just have answered, like a normal person. If I'd asked what an indictment was I suppose you'd have served one on me too.

I'm not going to report you, but just try to show a little courtsy to the next poor mug who tries to engage witih you. And cut out the vague threats Amisom (talk) 06:21, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Second hand smoke

Hi Jytdog. I have a question that I was hoping you could help me with, mainly because I know you're active and knowledgeable here regarding medical topics and sourcing. I was reading a speech Michael Crichton had given [15] where he makes the following statement: "I can tell you that second hand smoke is not a health hazard to anyone and never was, and the EPA has always known it." I read through the wikipedia article on second hand smoke and it doesn't seem to line up with Crichton's statement. Do you know where I could read more about this claim? Or is it simply not true. Mr Ernie (talk) 13:38, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Jytdog - It's time for you to upgrade your research about magnetic fields

I notice that you like to disregard and delete the overwhelming proof that magnetic field therapy works. Finally, the FDA is no longer suppressing magnetic field therapy and is embracing it - and one of these reasons is because of the crisis that is happening with Oxi overdoses in the United States. The FDA wants the doctors to stop writing pain medication prescriptions - they are jailing doctors that write pain medication prescriptions that result in overdose. Trump has made changes in the FDA to accomplish this. You can watch TV commercials now PEMF therapy now. The FDA recently started 510K clearing all sorts of PEMF devices for over the counter use to treat pain and to promote microcirculation -

Even the drug companies that specilize in pain have jumped on board! Get with the program.

https://www.aleve.com/aleve-direct-therapy/

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf15/K152432.pdf

They have grandfathered in PEMF as TENS devices - PEMF induction to stimulate the blood vessels - not direct electrode contact - it's magnetic fields. This is how the FDA is doing this.

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf15/K151834.pdf

We all know of the vested interest in the pharmaceutical industry to keep this therapy secret but there are some big changes in the way the FDA now regulates magnetic field therapy - and this is because of Trump's change in healthcare initiatives. We know that doctors are not going to jump on board immediately because that would require a lot of re-education - but we should at least allow wikipedia to tell the audience that is on the verge of suicide because of chronic pain that there are now FDA cleared alternatives. That is what the surgeon general is promoting too - the US has to get off of pain medication. By you prohibiting this new therapy to be written about on wikipedia - you do a great disservice to humanity holding this information back. Kids are killing themselves. There are 300,00 children with childhood arthritis in the USA! It's time for you to learn that the FDA "thinks different" now and it's OK to talk about magnetic field therapy.

The article on PEMF needs to be updated. If you feel you are the expert - you write it - but PEMF has been used for over 100 years to treat pain all over europe. It's approved for pain by Health Canada now and finally the FDA accepts it too. Get with the program. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonlee8985 (talk • contribs) 05:55, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

ANi

I appreciate your attempt to reach a conclusion at ANi.

I'm not sure exactly what bad behaviour you are trying to badger me into admitting but I see no reason to make statements that will be quoted back to me forever more in future disputes. The point of the thread is to address Wikihounding. I was not engaging with Godsy except to tell him to back off the harassment. Therefore there is no inter-editor behavioural issue at dispute with me.

Various unsubstantiated issues with my editing have been raised, but my track record stands up to fair scrutiny. We all make editing mistakes, but mine are not so bad I deserve any sanctions. No one has dragged me to the Admin notice boards in a long time.

I see from your userpage you've had your own fair share of disputes, so you should be more sympathetic here. Legacypac (talk) 21:29, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes i work in a lot of contentious areas and people get angry at me for many reasons. I also have some character flaws that create problems themselves (where people complain with reason). I am aware of those flaws and although they get away from me i try to manage them and I acknowledge and apologize when behavior driven by them causes problems. Being self aware, and being able to acknowledge your flaws and show you are working on them, is a really important thing. What I am asking you to do at ANI is not about self-crucifixion - it is about you giving the community assurance that you understand the part of the problems that you are causing (and you are causing some of them).Jytdog (talk) 22:31, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

perhaps I should work on being more tolerant of those who are not fortunate enough to have developed the ability to read and comprehend. I know that is a challenge in my regular life.

That is a terrible answer. Unless you say something otherwise, I will take it that you see nothing wrong with your behavior and I will proceed accordingly. Jytdog (talk) 01:04, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Your closures on discussions about WP:banning policy

Hello. You closed Wikipedia talk:Banning policy#Proposed clarifying change here and to blocking policy as "no significant disagreement" almost one month ago. However, some people raised points about the changes. Also, I listed it at Template:centralized discussion and then delisted it into Archives when you closed it. If relisting is unnecessary (which I'm not requesting... yet), how about amending or expanding your closing rationale instead? Also, you closed Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Unblocking after community-imposed block as "Resolved, policies amended". The change to such policy would affect how Wikipedia is edited, and I think the proposal is more than just a simple change. Nevertheless, as said, if relisting is unnecessary, I think more explanation and summarization are appreciated please. Thanks. --George Ho (talk) 06:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Hypothetically, (no offense) what if you could get blocked per community consensus? How would you appeal the community-implemented block? George Ho (talk) 06:31, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

No offense taken. The objections (mostly the concern about community-mandated indefs being added to the block log so nobody steps into it by accident) were incorporated into the proposal. What do you understand that was left out of the close? Very happy to amend. Jytdog (talk) 06:34, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

At the WT:banning policy, one said something like "wikilawyering", another who supported the proposal said "slippery slope" at "Notification requirement" section, another said "proposed change wouldn't technically prevent problems [but is] a move in the right direction." You can summarize the arguments in your own way and expand the closing rationale. The closure of the WP:VPPR discussion would be said as "superseded" by the policy change, but you can summarize the arguments in favor of either option. Well... "option 1" arguments, "option 2" arguments, and "option 3" arguments. How is that? George Ho (talk) 07:50, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

I'll just undo my close and you or someone else can redo it. Jytdog (talk) 07:54, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

You mean both of them, right? And will you undo the policy change? If so, I'll relist just one of them into template:centralized discussion then. George Ho (talk) 07:58, 4 June 2017 (UTC); never mind then. 08:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

I will do the other one too. I do not understand the drama you are making - it is has been announced on the admin newsletter and there are no objections. But whatever. Jytdog (talk) 08:00, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

On the other hand, no. I am un-undoing. This appears to just be drama. You can call for the close to be overturned at AN if you like. Re-listing is just too much. There were no substantial objections and as far as I can see you are not making any either. Jytdog (talk) 08:02, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

My apologies. I guess you have a point then. Nothing wrong with the change. --George Ho (talk) 08:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Dear Jytdog

I'm writing about Fengchey's edits to the Diffusion Tensor Imaging section of the Diffusion MRI section. A claim of COI does not defeat peer reviewed articles and published patents. I'm the inventor of DTI. GE, Siemens, Hitachi, Toshiba, and Philips spent tens of millions of dollars on the top attorneys in the world to try to disprove this to avoid patent litigation for infringement and they lost. So why does an unknown person "Fengchey" get to delete the patent and all my publications. How does that serve knowledge?

Aaron Filler, MD, PhD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afiller (talk • contribs) 17:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your note - I very much appreciate you talking. While their edit notes mentioned COI, they (more importantly) mentioned content policies, like WP:UNDUE and WP:PROMO.

I see from your talk page and from this COIN thread that you and others discussed COI back in 2009. I very much appreciated your comments at the COIN thread about various ways that conflict of interest causes problems in the RW, and especially behind the scenes. I worked on COI issues in academia for many years, and I understand what you wrote there.

The COI issues in Wikipedia are related but are somewhat different, due to the way this place is designed from the ground up. I talk about this on my userpage at some length, in NPOV part 2: COI and advocacy in Wikipedia (which depends somewhat on the prior "NPOV part 1" section)

COI management has evolved here since 2009. We have become much more clear on a two step process - the first involving disclosure, and the second, peer review. (totally normal for academia, right?) The way the 2nd step works, is that we ask editors with a COI ( and writing about yourself in Wikipedia is definitely a COI here) to disclose that on the relevant article talk page, and post content for others to review before it is added to WP. Would you please do that with content you want to add to WP about yourself, going forward? Once the disclosure and proposal is made at the talk page, the discussion about whether the content is OK to use "as is" or how it should be adjusted, or if there is nothing to use, should be based solely on the content policies and guidelines (WP:V, WP:OR, WP:NPOV, WP:RS/WP:MEDRS, and of course WP:NOT, and not be personalized in any way. Individual editors handle those discussions with more or less grace and professionalism; they do get difficult sometimes.

Anyway, does that all make sense? Happy to discuss further. Jytdog (talk) 17:45, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Jytdog

The material that Fengchey removed was posted in 2009 and 2010 and was extensively vetted at that time.

This is not original research. I understand you are "embarrassed" here because Fengchey co-opted you in your interest in COI

Many scientists don't believe in invetions. They think every advance comes from massive collaborative work. That is just wrong. These people are smart and productive, but get angry at inventors because they themselves have never been creative enough to actually have a breakthrough or industrious enough to bring it to reality.

We know from Wu et al, Clinical Evaluation and Follow-up Outcome of Diffusion Tensor Image-Based Functional Neuronavigation: A Prospective, Controlled Study In Patients With Gliomas Involving Pyramidal Tracts, 61 Neurosurgery 935 (2007) - a high quality prospective randomized trial - that DTI reduces the risk of death in brain surgery by 40%. Therefore my invention of DTI has saved tens of thousands of lives - sounds like a good idea to just delete me as punishment.

There are 15,000 peer reviewed publications in this area.

A patent is not something you just post. This is a product of years of conflict and review and proof.

Similarly with my published articles from peer reviewed journals.

We don't know if Fengchey has conflicts of interest. The person named on a work is an obvious person to kick around that many others may have interests. Every academic who publishes has an interest in their funding and in the success of their articles.

This dispute -between my work and Peter Basser is an absolute classic in mass COI. Basser was handing out grants at NIH that funded billions of dollars of research in this field. If you were a researcher, would you have a conflict of interest if you chose his version of events against Filler - who was not giving out grants?

Peter Basser - was a student at Harvard and I was teaching courses on the antecedent math on this subject in the 1980's

More important, we published a poster at a meeting - which was peer reviewed in 1992. The top specialist in the field saw this and contacted me for permission to present this at the plenary session of the next major meeting - the international society for magnetic resonance in medicine meeting in San Francisco in March of 1993. He presented it and his abstract states this is my work and it will allow us to see the internal tracts of the brain. Denis LeBihan (Basser's co=author) was the chair of the session so we know he was there. They ran out and filed their patent AFTER they heard Michael Moseley present my work. No one who looks at the details is fooled by this. As for Wikipedia - we battled all this out in 2010. You cannot discount those details either. If you don't respect your own process, and if you don't respect the judgment of US federal courts, then you are surrendering to vandals like Fengchey

The reason this is vandalism is that it was pure malicious destruction of what he knows to be valid science and technology. He has wholesale chopped out all of my peer reviewed publications and the patent.

The patent is a fact. All can see it.

Unlike most disputes in Wikipedia - the validity of this invention and the patent has been the subject of eight years of litigation. This arrayed an essentially unlimited litigation budget for GE, Siemens, Philips, Hitachi, Toshiba, Medtronic and Brainlab against me - a solo inventor. There have been tens of thousands of pages in this dispute.

It's not just attorneys and judges, a number of the leading scientists in the world participated as experts - informing the judges and attorneys, arguing their opinions etc. ALL of this is public record and available online. How does Fengchey get decide he knows better and Delete it all.

The history section on DTI should be restored as it stood for years before Fengchey's vandalism. He should be the one to get support of his changes and deletions before they are allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afiller (talk • contribs) 18:16, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

As to the Undue weight issue

f you look in the courts - there is massive overwhelming support for the validity of US 5,560,360.

Basser has his patent and it is weak, late, and unconvincing. It would have been very easy for GE, Siemens, Philips, Hitachi or Toshiba to get out of this if they could have just pointed to Basser's patent. It was right there for them. It is technically owned by the United States because the invention was from NIH - (National Institutes of Health) but we sued the United States for patent infringement as well. They never tried to assert Basser's patent because it is hopeless.

In the discussions previously (2010) I pointed out that Hounsefield - who invented CT scanning has virtually no publications and no citations, despite a massive literature of hundreds of thousands of publications. That doesn't mean he didn't invent it and should have all references to it deleted.

Academia does not accept a weighing mechanism where we delete the publications of those that do not march in lock step with the majority thinking in science. If we did that - it would be a death knell for advancement in knowledge.

As for PROMO - it is just not self promotion. It is history. We did this first, we published it. Fengchey may want to flatter Basser to help himself get a grant.

To understand this - consider that I gave a talk on my work in Baltimore in 2015 and Basser tried to get me banned from speaking. This was at a scientific meeting.

Congratulations to Fengchey for trying get me banned from citing my patent in this area.

If you follow back the history - you will see that before I worked on the site in 2009 there was very little on Wikipedia about DTI. I provided much of the skeleton of the articles that still exists and cited numerous contributing authors including Basser and dozens more. This doesn't mean I had to leave out my original invention in US 5,560,360

Afiller (talk) 18:40, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

For perspective I wanted to tell a little more about my activities as a recognized editor

I am a section editor for Youmans Neurological Surgery - so that in the current edition I edited 18 chapters - of which five I wrote or co-wrote - this position reflects respect for my work by my colleagues in this field

Additionally I have served for years on Joint Guidelines committee of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the American Association of Neurologic Surgeons - this means that I work on doing the evidence based guidelines that review thousands of peer reviewed published articles - typically rejecting about 95% of the publications in the leading peer reviewed journals due to inadequate methodology

In deciding validity and quality - it is not a majority vote that decides. The biggest enemy of valid medical practice is "consensus" of experts. We understand well that theories and medical treatments get established by "leaders in the field" that then accumulate thousands of citations and so gain the aura of truth. However, if the underlying methodology is inadequate, the results, the teachings and the treatment may be invalid and have to be coldly discarded.

For patents, the vetting is intensive - particularly in litigation. Further unlike an academic publication, you have to be able to prove that it actually works. Any person should be able to follow the published method in th patent and get the promised results. We don't need a committee of self-appointed pontificators to decide if the patent was filed first, if it works and if taught everyone else how to proceed.

As to the 1993 meeting when Michael Moseley showed our first diffusion tractogram to 3,000 MRI scientists - after that event - how can anyone else in MRI make a later claim to having invented it? No matter how many people cite them. Basser is quoted from an interview around that time saying that tractography is "science fiction" - it may never work. At the time he gave the interview - he didn't realize we had already invented it and made it work. The first tractogram was published into a priority document for our patent in 1992. Basser did not publish his own tractogram until more than three years later. Moseley contacted Basser in 1993 and asked him to include my work in a book on diffusion and Basser refused. Therefore we know he was given a copy of the work years before his first success in this field. All of this was discussed in Wikipedia talk in 2010.

Nothing has changed except further court decisions - which I cite to in todays edit that support the effective validity and priority of US 5,560,360

Afiller (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

TRASHING OF TRACTOGRAPHY Page

In addition to vandalizing the DTI History section, Fengchey has vandalized the tractography section

Once again when we want a review article - we do turn to an expert. We expect that a leader in the field will be knowledgeable. We expect that a leader in the field will cite to his own work if it is validly important work. The best thing is that any COI and any "self promotion" will be obvious to the reader.

It is Fengchey we know nothing about. Can we see his tax returns? Who does he work for? Is he applying for any grants or does he intend to apply for any in the future? He's probably "anonymous" This is one of the great fundamental intellectual errors of Wikipedia - you think that if someone is "anonymous" you can trust them more. You distrust a person who gives their name and signs their work with their real name. That is the at the heart of many disputes you struggle with.

Please restore the prior article and make Fengchey disclose who he/she is and defend the vandalism before the changes are allowed.

All edits by Fengchey anywhere on Wikipedia are suspect and should be taken down until he/she can show no conflicts - e.g. unemployed, never trained by any professor, never planning to publish and never having sought nor ever planning to seek any grants

He should provide a CV, references to conatct, address, telephone and email as I have done.

We also need to know if he, a family member, an employer or any person with whom he shares even a remote financial or personal interest has ever been sued for patent infringement by NeuroGrafix for the US 5,560,360 patent. Is Fengchey an attorney retained by a defendant in the patent infringement litigation?

I am not "embarrassed". Most of what you write here unfortunately has no relevance in Wikipedia - you wrote so much that it is difficult to reply to everything. You are clearly pretty upset. I am sorry about that. Jytdog (talk) 19:24, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok - so how do we go about resolving this? Afiller (talk) 19:32, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

I can see that you point out review of "information about myself." I presume that applies to any paper or patent of which I'm a participating author. Afiller (talk) 19:38, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

As I point out, most of the original article on DTI (added to diffusion MRI) is material I wrote - so I guess all of it should be taken down and we can start from scratch with the whole article. However if you think the above is too much to read - I think you'll see that the review you propose will be very challenging. Afiller (talk) 19:43, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

The work of building high quality content in the particular environment that is Wikipedia is always challenging. COI issues add an extra wrinkle, but once COI is managed through the two-step process it is, well... manageable. It just adds a bit to the already-present complexity.

We can discuss the content on the relevant article Talk page (for the current content, at Talk:Diffusion MRI). Please do not discuss contributors there, but rather focus on content, basing the discussion on reliable sources and on the content policies and guidelines.

With regard to behavior issues

a) it would be useful if you added to the disclosure on your Userpage, a very high level (a sentence or two) discussion of NeuroGrafix' patent enforcement activities, which have included hospitals and universities as well as companies that sell MRI equipment, so that other editors are aware of the extent of your real world financial interest in this topic. (I am not making any judgement about those enforcement activities; they should just be disclosed). You already have disclosed your academic "interest" as someone who claims, and is credited with, key discoveries in the field. Thank you for agreeing to follow the Wikipedia peer review process. If you have questions, about details of the doing that, please feel free to ask here at my Talk page (that doesn't belong on an article Talk page - article talk pages are strictly for discussing article content).

b) with regard to your questions about Fengchey, two things. First, please be aware that it is kind of distasteful when someone with a COI turns and raises questions about potential COI of others who are addressing what they perceive as promotional editing. Please handle that with care. Secondly, one needs to have some on-WP evidence that there is what we call an "apparent COI". Removing promotional content is generally not a sufficient reason to raise a COI question. I considered it when Fengchey first showed up but decided at that time that there was insufficient justification in their edits to ask them about COI. Even asking people if they have a COI is something that needs to be done with care here. If you have some other reason based on their contributions in Wikipedia, please let me know. Please limit your response to discussing their work here on Wikipedia - we indefinitely block people who violate our WP:OUTING policy.

By the way, would you please follow the norm of indenting your comments on Talk pages? If you look at this text (or any talk page discussion) in the editing window, you will see that we use preceding colons (which the Wikipedia software turns into tabs) to thread discussions. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:31, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Jytdog - I understand that Wikipedia is a passion for you and I do appreciate how we all benefit from the work you and your fellow editors do. I also accept your point about it being distasteful to raise a COI issue when accused of COI. However - if I had edited anonymously as Fengchey has done, there would be no apparent COI issues. It does seem proper that someone alleging COI should identify themselves so this important issue can be understood. In the very passionate and extensive discussions, edits and changes that led to the text as it existed for seven years - a joint collective product of the Wiki interested DTI community - I did not question the motives and ID in this way. The problem with the Fengchey edit is that he gave you explicitly false information. Particularly - it is just a fact that some do not like - that our group did figure this out, published it and patented it. These are just historical facts. Fengchey's solution, if he was unhappy, could have been to add comments about a controversy - but he will know that because patent filings are legal records you can't reasonably claim they don't exist, that they don't say what they say, or that they occurred at a different time than the time alleged. It's all incontrovertible fact (you can see on google patents that is cited by 229 other patents in this field - which is a huge impact in patent - see https://www.google.com/patents/US5560360). Even if he wished it weren't true - if he was interested in the history of DTI - how does it contribute to knowledge to simply and completely eradicate all mention of the historical events, delete the patent and delete all of my publications. It is not a reasoned unbiased thing to do. It just reflects an intention to mislead by a person who understands you and your work an knows what buttons to push to get away with seriously damaging the article. Honestly, COI or no COI if you have an article about the history of DTI how do you delete without a trace all the original work and the fundamental patent in the field. How does that make Wikipedia better?

I further understand that going forward, I can make the case on the talk page and he can say why it the actual factual history should be completely suppressed in order to protect everyone. I do have a long complex historical article that was peer reviewed and published ( http://ispub.com/IJNS/7/1/12184 ). It covers all of digital imaging and there is very little else out there on the subject. Inevitably, it does include my own work but that is an inevitable consequence of being a person who both invents and writes and who has interest in history as well as in the promotion of methods of promoting advance in technology. While so many people fear helplessness about climate change and anger about the Paris accord - I've actually developed new technology to replace carbon - ( https://www.google.com/patents/US20160086680 ) that is what will save the planet - rather than hopeless Trump bashing as most people rely on to try to save the planet - e.g. technology must be advanced in leaps not increments and inventors should be able to develop and provide the world with the benefit of their inventions even if all inventors are banned from writing about their inventions on Wikipedia.

Afiller (talk) 16:09, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

If you will simply follow the COI management process, and make sure that what you propose on the talk page is based on reliable (ideally independent) secondary sources, and the policies and guidelines, and behave accordingly as well (don't discuss contributors, and if there is a dispute follow WP:DR) then everything will be fine.

What ever happened to the Vipul/EA situation?

Sorry for bothering you out of the blue. I was lurking the whole fiasco EA/transhumanist/Vipul fiasco for a while, but stopped following it. I remember you wanted to start an RfC; did that ever happen? GojiBarry (talk) 00:49, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

No problem. Vipul announced during the ANI that he was disbanding the project; he said he wanted to restart it but I have heard nothing. There was a burst of cleanup of refs and articles but that has slowed and is more sporadic (there is still a lot to do). The community didn't end up taking large scale action.

Speedy deletion nomination of Antrochoanal polyps

A tag has been placed on Antrochoanal polyps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Edit warning

Your recent editing history at Archaeogenetics of the Near East shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tritomex (talk • contribs) 22:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Theranostics

Hi, Why have you merged theranostics into personalized medicine? Theranostics is an independent concept and is enough eligible to have an independent article.--Sahehco (talk) 13:36, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

A perhaps more interesting question is why

1. you moved the old theranostics article to Theranostical medicine (?), and then
2. recreated the Theranostics article from scratch, obliterating the history of the old article
3. focused the article solely on medical imaging agents that could also be used as therapeutics, which is half the concept.

Why did you do that?

But this should all be happening at the talk page of Personalized medicine. Is it OK with you if I copy this there? Jytdog (talk) 13:58, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Edit war warning (Brain Gym)

The ref I added is not from that list. it's a an important part of a larger academic report. If you have issues with it, please discuss it on the talk page.

Advice needed on Olanzapine edit

Hi Jytdog, I am performing a cochrane update on Olanzapine, and I am having trouble deciding if I should change the current text in the article.

What information do you think is important to relay from this 2005 review?

It presently states, "A Cochrane review found, however, that the usefulness of olanzapine maintenance therapy is difficult to determine as more than half of people in trials quit before the six-week completion date."

Thanks for your time!

JenOttawa (talk) 23:50, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

I would say it is time to get rid of that ref, which fails WP:MEDDATE, and update the content with a more recent review!  :) Jytdog (talk) 23:58, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

OK. A good challenge for me. What do you think of this? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23810019 Thanks for your feedback. JenOttawa (talk) 01:43, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Sure! PMID 28219485 seems important as does PMID 26801655 and PMID 27866695. Jytdog (talk) 01:55, 11 June 2017 (UTC) (oh, magic links I will soon not be able to use you Jytdog (talk) 01:55, 11 June 2017 (UTC))

Yes, thanks. I will check these out as well. How important is impact factor when choosing an appropriate systematic review for Wikipedia? I chose a review with the highest impact factor that was reviewing at what I was looking for. JenOttawa (talk) 02:12, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

The Lancet ref is just already 4 years old so is on the edge of meddate already... but a big improvement over the 2005 review! An improvement is an improvement. About sources, it is always a balance. Not going too low, not missing important more recent conclusions. Ideally the time you invest in this will be useful for as long as possible... that is the only reason i suggested looking at the more recent ones. Jytdog (talk) 02:21, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

This makes sense. I will try to use a couple of references. Thanks again! Have a nice rest of your weekend. JenOttawa (talk) 02:25, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

I finally gave this a try. The "comparisons" section is a quite bogged down with information. I only have the time today to add in the more recent references and did a small amount of cleaning up. I took out the 2005 cochrane review, but added in a 2010 review from Cochrane. Definitely not perfect, but hopefully, as you mentioned, an improvement. I did not use one of the reviews you suggested,PMID 27866695, on the formulation (oral vs long-acting injectable). Evidence looks weak for olanzapine so I left it out for now. Please feel free to change my edits as you see fit. Thanks again for the advice, JenOttawa (talk) 20:00, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks so much!! Looks great. Jytdog (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

CIA

Hi Jytdog. I added the NYT topic as many articles I've seen do (it's sorta rare for NYT to even keep a topic on many schools), and I don't think it qualifies as ELNO 9 as it's not a search results page. It's a selected list of articles related to the topic, further reading if you will. I think it meets WP:ELYES #3. As for the Food Business School link, sure it looks like spam, as the CIA seems to have a larger marketing department than it does academics sometimes, but the FBS is the CIA for its graduate programs. Sorta considered a somewhat separate entity, but owned/operated by CIA. I'm gonna add more about it in the article, but the link definitely is relevant. Thanks, ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 14:48, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Happy to discuss content on article pages but WP:ELNO #9 is clear here. And again per WP:ELNO companies get one link to their own websites. Proliferating entities does not mean more real estate for spam links. If you would like to discuss further please bring it up there so it becomes part of the page history and others watching can participate. Thx Jytdog (talk) 14:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Will do, just want to say that the CIA is a college - a nonprofit academic institution, not usually considered a company. Also, ELNO says usually stick with one, and ELNO also is a guideline. That's a lot of maybes there. If it's helpful to the reader, and is as official/relevant of a link... And it's not spam. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 14:55, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Academic institutions and their alum are some of the most virulent abusers of Wikipedia for promotion -- we even have an essay just for them, WP:BOOSTER.

They are not "good guys" when it comes to articles about themselves or their faculty, -- Jytdog (talk) 14:56, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

What is your opinion on this subject?

Regarding your revert of my removal of the word "leading".[22] It is my opinion that I should repeat this removal, for the following reasons: 1. The Rfc did not sanction the specific words of the text, as specific in both the proposal and the closing specifically. 2. There is a major pillar of Wikipedai policy that states that unsourced information can be removed when challenged, and such is the precise case here. 3. Please also note that my main opponent so far, Dailycare, expressed that he has no problem with the removal I made.[23] Would you agree with me on this, or if you disagree, could you please explain why?

Christianity and violence

Jenhawk777 tried an edit for the initial intro--only this time--of Christianity and Violence. I am not confident at all that these additions will all be agreed upon but all the advice says, "Be Bold!" so I went ahead and put them all in! Please go ahead and argue with me about them! It is an effort to make this article seem to lean a little less in one direction. I've decided after reading it a couple of times that it is the adjectives in the descriptions that are negative that make it read that way in addition to not including enough alternate views. I was wondering about removing some of those??? Anyway--tell me what you think--surely we can work this out together. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:36, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for responding! I appreciate any and all help! I don't understand the comment that this appears to be a collection of my thoughts though. None of this is original material. It is all referenced. I take it you are the original author of Christianity and Violence? You don't seem to like any of my edits, but if you could help me understand why or what it is you don't like, perhaps we could fix this together. The article does not seem balanced or neutral to me, and clearly to others who tagged it that way long before I came along, so my goal is not to erase anything you have said but to balance it a little bit more. You are welcome to make changes to what I have added, but please explain them if you would. Thank you again! I will keep trying to honor what you have written while accomplishing the goal--if you will not give up on me! Thank you! Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:01, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

VPT: On sarcasm

I don't see a need to continue commenting "in public". Re your comment, Obviously someone at WMF who never uses this site thought it would be a great thing to implement. Hats off to them! goes quite a bit beyond "frustration". Your comments regarding the edit summary counter and related seemed obviously driven by frustration, which is why I was more than willing to reply to your concerns (in multiple locations). The quoted above is a simple potshot and does not help resolve any issue. Whether I or you see the change as good, bad, or neither, two sentences worth of pure sarcasm is not an effective tool at communicating what needs to change and clearly turns the discussion into an "us versus the nameless them who so idiotically made the change" discussion, rather than one where information is transferred and whom-so-ever with the power to change the situation can take productive action. If you want to cast about for someone pouring oil on a fire, start with statements like that one. It is not that editor's first comment like that and I don't expect it to be his last unless he is let known that it is not the way to do things. --Izno (talk) 23:39, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry if i stepped in inapropriately at ANI, just seen it by chance while looking over the rediculous drama on the boards (yes i find some of it weirdly entertaining, like a soap opera i guess haha). Anyway, hope i was not out of line. But now that that is closed there is no point to dwell on it for me. So i will go back to watching instead of editing.

I'm a colleague of hers at Pitt and I'm interested in avoiding personality conflicts so we can all edit peacefully. I don't disagree with your warning but I think coming from you, that warning isn't well-received. I'd be glad to help communicate the message if you could stay off her talk page. And yes, I spoke to her so this isn't coming out of left field. Chris Troutman (talk) 09:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Sure I will talk to you about Pitt stuff if there are further problems. Just so the behavior stops. Thanks for offering to help. Jytdog (talk) 15:02, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Head & Shoulders edits

Hi Jytdog, why is the detail on Head & Shoulders celebrities considered Trivia when other brands are doing exactly the same thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nike_sponsorships) is it the way it is structured? less than 5% of these celebrity or team endorsements are cited. If I add citations to the list and remove less notable persons would this be tolerable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.201.132.244 (talk) 11:19, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

WP:VERIFY is policy across Wikipedia. More importantly, perhaps, your IP is registered to a PR firm. Please read WP:PAID and Wikipedia:Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 11:34, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Coinbase

I added some criticisms of Coinbase yesterday, which you have removed. I am in no way a wikipedia expert who spends all day on here, I just effectively want to warn people of how poor coinbase is after my own personal experience and also the experience of pretty much everyone I have ever met, within the crypto community. I don't know what you would consider "reliable sourcing" in terms of references etc but I think wikipedia should give a fair and accurate representation of the company and to have absolutely no criticism of coinbase at the moment is entirely inaccurate. They are completely failing in their role as an exchange and have literally no customer support. The site IS constantly down whenever there is a big market swing. Those are absolute facts. I will happily look for more articles and link to multiple articles about it if that's what you think is appropriate but as I say, I really think it is fair to have criticism of the company for their complete failure to function as intended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeynesey (talk • contribs) 13:48, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia is driven by reliable sources and what they say -- not by the passions of editors and how they feel. Please see WP:RS and WP:NPOV. So if there are reliable sources that discuss this such that it can be given reasonable "weight" in the argument, that is great. If all there is are comments on discussion boards, that is not enough. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:34, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Synthetic rubber

Hi

You reverted my addition about the synthetic rubber (Buna) plant at Oswiecim. This is a very well known and documented story. Perhaps you were not aware that Oswiecim is simply the original Polish name for the town the Germans called Auschwitz. At Auschwitz were three camps; Auschwitz I (the original concentration camp), Auschwitz II (also called Auschwitz-Birkenau, an extermination camp) and Auschwitz III (also called Monowitz, and a forced labor camp). It is this third camp which supplied the labor to the IG Farben synthetic rubber plant and other plants associated with the camp. In fact, the camp was created purely for the purpose of supplying labor. If you read the first para of the WP entry for Auschwitz III you will see this explained. Or there are several excellent books on the subject, such as that by Andreas Kilian. Thanks. PointOfPresence (talk) 17:54, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for wanting to improve the article. If it is well documented you will not have trouble providing a source. Jytdog (talk) 18:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Did you take a look at the WP article about Monowitz? Would you like me to use that as the source? I'm not trying to be difficult here, but you say I should not revert edits without discussing on a talk page. Fair enough, but you reverted my edit without discussing it with me first. I am not sure I understand why that's different. PointOfPresence (talk) 18:37, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Don't make this about ego or "firsties". This is not a blog where you can write whatever you like; if content is challenged and you want to restore it, you need to provide the source. Please read WP:BURDEN. This is basic scholarship as well as basic "carry your own weight" - it is the definition of WP:TENDENTIOUS to demand that others provide refs for content you want to add. Jytdog (talk) 18:40, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, sorry. Really not trying to be difficult. Just wanting to clarify. But I shall add the relevant reference. (btw, I wasn't expecting you to provide the reference, but I can see why you might have thought that). All good. Cheers.PointOfPresence (talk) 18:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for tidying up my refs. I posted the wrong link by accident. This is the link I intended to use http://www.wollheim-memorial.de/en/kz_bunamonowitz_en (which does refer to the Buna plant) But maybe we have enough sources now.PointOfPresence (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I think we are good. the Steinbacher book has extensive discussion of this. Jytdog (talk) 19:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Please ask for sources, rather than reverting content

Hi. When you notice new content that is not properly sourced, you can ask the author to source it, rather than simply reverting it. When you ask for sources, you allow other people to contribute and improve the content. Simsong (talk) 01:46, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Please never add unsourced content to Wikipedia, especially when it involves living people, as you did here. Jytdog (talk) 02:03, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

"Unsourced" Edit on Abraham

This is well known Biblical cannon. Abraham gave birth to Isaac, which gave birth to Jacob, who was renamed Israel. Jacob/Israel gave birth to 12 sons and one daughter, the fourth son's name was Judah. Taking a look at The Online Jewish Encyclopedia (http://www.jewfaq.org/origins.htm): "[...] technically, it is incorrect to refer to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as Jews, because the terms "Jew" and "Judaism" were not used generally to refer to this nation until hundreds of years after their time [...]" 68.225.237.140 (talk) 01:35, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

happy to discuss at the article talk page, if you want to post there. but this you tried to say a lot in a little space, and entwined the indeed well-known family tree with notions of covenant in ways that were probably... too condensed, and not supported by the source at the end of that bit of content. Jytdog (talk) 17:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Right, I do realize the wording was not ideal, however I think this is an important point to make. Reason being, this is a very common misconception about Abraham, the Abrahamic Covenant, and the relation of the Jews to God. The common misconception is that somehow Abraham was Jewish and I was attempting to make clear that this is not the case, the current wording implies that the the Abrahamic covenant was for the Jews, which it was not, it was for Abraham's descendants, of which some are the Judeans. I'd be happy to move this to the talk page for the article: How about this, if you could draft up a re-write of that particular section that makes the clarification I'm seeking to establish in a way that you find acceptable, at that point I'll either accept your revision and we'll have it pushed to the page or I'll submit my changes to your re-write. Thanks! 68.225.237.140 (talk) 01:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Since you have improved that section, I just wanted to let you know that it also was added to Answers in Genesis, in case you'd want to also edit it... Thanks, —PaleoNeonate - 05:28, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk page and sourcing

Hi, Jytdog! I have noticed the talk page from solvation shell and the sourcing discussion there. Is there any problem if I insert some citation for that content from NON-ENG sources? (Romanian and/or Russian souces). Thanks.--82.79.115.107 (talk) 11:59, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Elyonim veTachtonim

Hello! And thanks for reacting to the changes I made. I know about the rule of not linking to blogs, forums and the like. Yet, though hosted on a blogspot platform, EvT is an academic project and contains some valuable research and tools for those interested in the subject of Jewish angelology and demonology. I am not sure whether the author of EvT is a "recognized authority", but he is far from being anonymous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aetgar (talk • contribs) 06:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Anneliese Dodds

Hi Jytog, i see you removed the updated information i added on Anneliese Dodds for being un-sourced. If you clicked on the link(s) that were added you will see they lead you to the election pages where the results from those elections are displayed. Her name for instance in the 2010 election is quite clear on the Reading East (UK Parliament constituency) page. Are you suggesting that i use the linked page as a reference? cheers Dexcel (talk) 16:00, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources per WP:USERGENERATED and WP:CIRCULAR. You need to provide a reliable source per the WP:RS guideline, especially for content about living people, per the WP:BLP policy. Jytdog (talk) 16:10, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Charlie Gard's article deletion

Hi Jytdog,

I would like to know why you consider CRYSTALBALL hype the section about nucleoside therapy referencing papers published in high-impact, peer-reviewed international journals such as EMBO Medicine, and led by scientists at Columbia University and other top scientific institutions.

Since this is a subject of high interest in relation to this case and the scientific aspects of it, it deserves an encyclopedia article with reliable information. All the scientific references I added come from PubMed, with just one reference to a Washington Post article about Arturito Estopinan, which is the first known human patient.

Which are your credentials to censor peer-reviewed scientific informations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DoctorBiochemistry (talk • contribs) 9 July 2017 (UTC)

I am happy to discuss content on the relevant talk page; if you post about the content there, I will answer there.

Your question about "credentials" is not appropriate in Wikipedia (please read WP:EXPERT). Competence however is required - that means understanding the subject matter, how literature is structured, how Wikipedia works, and the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia - see WP:CIR. Your use of the term "censored" is also not appropriate - see WP:NOTCENSORED for that means here.

Please remember to sign your posts. Jytdog (talk) 20:45, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Version pro ante

@Jytdog:

That was the version pro ante, and the article should stay that way until consensus. Please don't mistake it for edit warring.Saronsacl (talk) 01:28, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

You have edit warred again, against a version clearly supported by 3 other people, and I expect you to get a longer block this time. You need to learn how to discuss instead of forcing things. Jytdog (talk) 01:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Your work on Talk:Acupuncture

Thanks for creatively searching for those sources within such a short space of time. I'll help to use parts of them to improve the article.

Hi Jytdog. In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:15, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
