Re: Windsor University School of Medicine edits

A few of your edits were inaccurate so I reverted them. Windsor is a WHO and IMED listed school (the statement about no accreditation is inaccurate.) The student loan scandal section was removed due to lack of relevance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SGMD1 (talkcontribs) 02:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

As above, recognition by the local government and accreditation by an appropriate medical school accreditation agency are two different things. And I beg to differ, the student loan scandal is very relevant. Leuko Talk/Contribs 02:24, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Your editing of the Windsor University page is inaccurate. Please cease from editing the Windsor University page with inaccurate information.
Everything is cited. Please cease with empty threats. Leuko Talk/Contribs 02:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
The citation for the student loan scandal section is not relevant to the information contained in the section. In addition, it is the only subsection you have created for this page; you have deleted other relevant sections related to curriculum, tuition, and student life. The cited article for the student loan scandal section contains hearsay from a former student and lack of proof for the claims. Once again, your revisions are biased and inaccurate. Please refrain from editing the page in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SGMD1 (talkcontribs) 02:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
It is cited from a WP:RS, the standard on WP. Please review WP policies. The other sections are non-encyclopedic - they are only advertising material. Please refrain from editing an article where you have an obvious conflict of interest. Thanks. Leuko Talk/Contribs 02:47, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
The Curriculum, Tuition, and Student Life sections are not advertising material; these sections are found on WP articles for a plethora of educational institutions. Furthermore, Windsor University School of Medicine is accredited by the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and your removal of this content and claim that the school is unaccredited is vandalism. Please refrain from editing an article for which you don't have adequate knowledge. Thanks. SGMD1 (talk) 03:17, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

3RR

Wikipedia has a hard and fast rule, called WP:3RR. It says that you can't undo the actions of another editor on the same article more than 3 times per day--more than that, and you will be blocked. I see that you've already on Windsor University School of Medicine reverted 4 times today, so technically you've broken the rule, but since you may not have been aware of it, I won't block you. However, if you revert on that article again I will. What you need to do is go to the article's talk page and discuss the issue with the other user. If you can't come to a consensus, then we have processes called dispute resolution which you can take advantage of. And just so you don't get upset, I've already given the same warning and instructions to SMGD1. Finally, note that I have declined your vandalism case against SMGD1--neither of you are vandalizing, you're simply disagreeing about article content. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:27, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I just left you a message on your talk page. I am aware of 3RR, and this type of situation has been viewed as vandalism by multiple other admins, so that's why I felt 3RR did not apply. We can continue the conversation on your talk page. Leuko Talk/Contribs 04:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
I totally agree. LEUKO not only violates 3RR policy but violates the verifiable source of information rule on several schools pages(Windsor, CMU, Avalon, UMHS) about the lack of accreditation. This vandalizm should be stopped immidiatelly by administrators!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.38.192 (talk) 05:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Take it to the article talk pages, please. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:47, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop vandalizm

Your recent updates of the articles in Wikipedia clearly violate the neutral point of view therefore please stop it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.38.192 (talk) 05:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

How so? WP:NPOV doesn't state that all verified negative information should be removed at the request of school administrators/students/and others with a conflict of interest.
I have been fixing many of your inaccurate edits in the articles for several medical schools in the Caribbean over the past several days. Several of your edits regarding licensure restrictions and accreditation were inaccurate. Many of your edits included references that did not mention the school in question. For example, Windsor University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Board of Saint Kitts and Nevis. This information is readily available both from the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis website as well as the FAIMER Directory of Organizations that Recognize/Accredit Medical Schools (DORA). Upon advising you of this, you continued to make inaccurate edits claiming the school is unaccredited, and instead made accusations about conflict of interest.
In the future, I would strongly advise you refrain from editing any articles on this topic with inaccurate information. SGMD1 Talk/Contribs 13:28, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
SGMD, why are you writing this here, given that Leuko hasn't edited in over a month? Bringing up such an old issue only inflames problems, not solves them. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:04, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I've been making edits to several articles over the past few weeks and I've just now only been discovering the extent of his edits. At first I thought it was just to Windsor, but it spans over several articles. I see he hasn't edited in a while, but I thought it was important to note in case he decides to edit again.

Brian Pho Notability Discussion

Leuko

Are you okay if I remove all the comments in the following page?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brian_Pho

Sources have been verified and the article was just recently updated. Is there a need for the notability discussion comments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leathercharm (talkcontribs) 14:29, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Removing information from St. Martinus University Faculty of Medicin

I am from a St Martinus University. I am running with an issue where correct verifiable information is being removed from the CMU (Careebean Medical University) page and correct verifiable information is being removed from our university page. I have also been told that one of the user added information with citation and all of those removed from the Wikipedia page. It appears to be a concerted effort against some of the users ( Please view the history of the Wikipedia page). The reference for the current ownership from the Curacao registry page has been removed.

I am new and therefore do not know how do we prevent the users who keep on deleting the information from our page and glorifying another scam school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharmauiuc (talkcontribs) 16:36, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Um....I didn't edit the Gross (units) page. Dunno why it would say I did... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.117.252.227 (talk) 22:57, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
