Hello Marabruma, i noticed your recent edits but had to revert them, they appear to be not really on point, some of the conclusions for instance. Also since you added the same study paper to several articles, i suspect there could be a conflict of interest, see this Wikipedia rule, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest Please discuss additions on the article talk pages first, for best results. Thank you. prokaryotes (talk) 11:17, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi prokaryotes! Thanks for pointing out that I was biased in providing information. As a newcomer, I have not had the opportunity of reading all the good behaviour and guidelines pages - I am in the process of going through them at the moment.
Therefore, I was not aware of the fact that my adding information one source at a time, gradually working my way through all the relevant papers I can find, would lead to controversy. The reason for this approach was that I found it easier to learn about editing Wikipedia in lots of small editing steps rather than few all-encompassing ones.
Also, I must point out that it would have been beneficial if you notified me about your concerns before you reverted my modifications because I would like to learn about efficient and decent editing as well as about what constitutes relevant and valuable information.
As a consequence of your message, I have a full disclosure on my user page, please have a look at it.

Correction, except for a small number of contentious articles there isn't really a need to discuss first. The typical process is known as WP:BRD. Suggest you also check check out WP:CONSENSUS and WP:TALK. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 12:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Tip

edit

It's encouraged to take neutral actions to get other eds involved. You just don't want to unfairly WP:CANVASS. For example, one way to cast a neutral wide net would be posting a link to your climate change discussion at Talk:Volcano. You can also do an WP:Request for comment. If you get frustrated at the process, dialogue, behavior, or general lack of progress, there are a number of tools at WP:Dispute resolution. I confess I don't want to jump in the subject matter rabbit hole, but you being a newbie I appreciate the patient discussion approach you have been taking. Stick around! We need that.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. 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.
