November 2021 edit

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rosa × damascena, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You can check the Medline status by clicking on the journal name from the PubMed listing in the upper left, "Search in NLM catalog". A journal not indexed in Medline means it doesn't have enough history of publishing to be followed in Medline, i.e., it is unreliable. Zefr (talk) 15:42, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Concerning this comment, you should read WP:MEDHOW and WP:WHYMEDRS for background on why and how to choose sources for medical content in the encyclopedia. A degree of critical review and understanding is expected for medical editing, and competence is required, WP:CIR. If this material is difficult for you to comprehend, perhaps you would gain more enjoyment from editing topics within your competence. Zefr (talk) 20:25, 3 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

What other accounts have you had? edit

You have expert wiki formatting skills and good knowledge about Wikipedia policies and seem to know where all the editing shortcuts are, so it is very unlikely that you only signed up here last week without previous experience on this website. For example, your edits on the talk-page of health effects of chocolate [1] show great skill at editing (using quote boxes and linking to countless Wikipedia essays and policies), no new user would ever do this, you obviously have years of experience at this. You should disclose any previous accounts you have had. Obviously sock-puppets always deny they have had a previous account but it is very obvious from your edits that you have experienced skill with Wikipedia editing.

Yes, if there are previous account they should be disclosed so as not to prevent WP:SCRUTINY. Alexbrn (talk) 07:59, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Preparticipation Physical Examination edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Preparticipation Physical Examination requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Welcome! edit

Hello, Isabela31, and welcome to Wikipedia! Seems like nobody welcomed you officially so far, so I thought I'd do so now. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help. Need some ideas about what kind of things need doing? Try the Task Center.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly.

By the way, did you get sufficient feedback at your question at WT:MED#Reliable sources? It sounds like you may have figured out that there are different standards for reliable sources in general, compared to sources for medical topics, which are more stringent. Feel free to ask questions there, here, or at my Talk page. Once again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 03:26, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Name Omitted. I noticed that in this edit to Human height, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Name Omitted (talk) 17:38, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia edit

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Piotr Konieczny
Associate Professor
Hanyang University
