I noticed that you sometimes edit topics related to medicine/health, and that these are reverted. See Folate for recent example. These topics require a specific standard for allowable references. See WP:MEDRS. Briefly, individual clinical trials are not allowed (nor in vitro or animal research). This irks a lot of people, but that is the way it is.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Old Testament into Bible. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Johannes Fried, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 03:33, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, There is a discussion going on the global warming talk page after an edit you made in the lede. Not sure whether you got a notification, hence a heads-up here. Femke Nijsse (talk) 08:22, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Just sending this FYI to everyone recently in the topic area who doesn't have one in the last 12 months. And before I posted here, I sent one to myself too. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:18, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for adding some more accessible RSs to global warming. Are you aware that we agreed to have a consistent citation style on this page? That's one of the requirements for it being a featured article. We chose a citation style with the harv-template. For more information and examples, see the text and see Talk:Global warming/Citation standards. The citations that you're adding are not yet in this style. Could you convert them a bit? Femke Nijsse (talk) 11:35, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) What Femke said... NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 12:58, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

---

Regarding your recent edit at Global warming: as before, please note that we are establishing a citation style where full citations are placed in the Sources section, and a short-cite used for the in-line citation. Please move the full citation in your edit to "Sources", adding the |ref=harv parameter. Also, please include the first five authors in your full citation. The short-cite to use in this case is {{harvnb|Turetsky|Abbott|Jones|Anthony|2019}}. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:50, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see that progress is being made; thank you. You should also add the "first#=" parameters. When you move the full citation to "Sources" (replacing it with the short-cite) I believe you will find it easier to read and check if formatted in a manner similar to the other citations. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:13, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The citation you added yesterday again didn't conform to the standards. Note that J. Johnson improved the explanation at Talk:Global warming/Citation standards. Please either ask help if you struggle with it, or comply with the citation stardard. It is a lot of work for us to fix other people's work. Could you confirm you've read this? Femke Nijsse (talk) 14:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC) Confirmed. Help is welcome. Cosmicseeds, 9. October 2019[reply]

I have fixed the citations. You can look at the history of the page to see what I've done. Can you explain to me what part of the explanation found at Talk:Global warming/Citation standards is unclear? Are you using the visual editor or editing the wikitext directly? It's difficult, if not impossible, to get the formatting completely right if you're editing with the visual editor. Also note that many non-controversial sentences don't need more than one citation. Adding too many citations can lead to WP:CITATIONOVERKILL. Femke Nijsse (talk) 17:03, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• -. Thank you for your interest in the climate pages!
• A. I don't care about citation formatting that much
• B. But I do care that others care and have worked hard on what they care about
• C. The place operates on community respect and teamwork (WP:5P4, WP:ARBCC#Purpose of Wikipedia
• D. Please show the eds who care that you're at least trying. Femke is very reasonable and when there are reasons to disagree, she's a great editor to oppose, because she seeks mutual understanding and full airing of reasons and isn't concerned with winning as much as deciding well. That way we get the best answer.
• E. So even though I don't care that much about citation formatting, please do try to follow the protocol that has been developed, because it matters very much to other members of our team.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which has a button "Cite" click on it
2. Then click on "Automatic" or "Manual"
3. For Manual: Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details, then click "Insert"
4. For Automatic: Paste the URL or PMID/PMC and click "Generate" and if the article is available on PubMed Central, Citoid will populate a citation which can be inserted by clicking "Insert"

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:45, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have contributed to the Wikipedia article on mysticism. I am currently trying to start a WikiProject on mysticism at Wikipedia: WikiProject Council and wonder whether you would be interested in joining. Vorbee (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Directed panspermia is interesting but it’s not relevant to some of the articles you’ve added it to, so I’ve deleted it. Andyjsmith (talk) 08:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions - such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks - on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

No preprints as sources, please. --RexxS (talk) 18:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that you have committed a copyright violation with your recent edits to Effects and Politics of climate change. Your additions are nearly word-for-word from the abstract of the cited article. You may need to summarize this material in your own words. Thanks. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 20:27, 19 November 2020 (UTC) Thank you for the info! I followed your advise and summarized the material. -Cosmicseeds, 20 November 2020[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Hericium erinaceus. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again.

I notice you were advised above about WP:MEDRS, but you are still adding many non-WP:MEDRS sources to articles. Please make sure any source for biomedical content that you use meets the WP:MEDRS standard. Thanks. Alexbrn (talk) 15:16, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the 2019 post above directing you to WP:MEDRS explaining sourcing guidelines for medical content. You also received a note about this recently. Major depressive disorder is a Featured article, and an overview of a broad topic; see WP:WIAFA and WP:FAOWN as well. This edit is based on a recent primary source rather than a secondary review, and is WP:UNDUE as well. If you are having a hard time understanding sourcing guidelines in medical content, you might suggest your edits on the article talk page before adding them, or ask questions at WT:MED.

Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Sex and drugs have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. I don't know why you thought that 2 external links to the Psychonauts wiki would be appropriate external links whatsoever on an article not even relating to it. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:43, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you could take a look at this revert. It seems grossly unfair to say that this was a rebuttal to the letter itself. The problem was the way the letter was being misrepresented. Also, take a look at the editing history of the article about that letter. None of the reverts have anything to do with actual content. 201.71.2.255 (talk) 10:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
