March 2022

Hello MedGME. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Piedmont Healthcare, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:MedGME. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MedGME|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.
You have created an advert, with references which are churnalism Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 15:29, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

I do not have financial attachments to the this subject. I have created and edited this article in good faith. I have used sources that I consider reliable and have gone on the wikipedia library and confirmed those sources. The article is very brief, just states facts such as purchases that have been widely publicized in various news sources and makes this subject notable of a wikipedia page .It even mentions a nurse organization that has expressed concerns over those purchases.MedGME (talk) 16:13, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the declaration. All Wikipedia's may be asked questions like this during their time here. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 16:44, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

As a separate matter your sources are all PR pieces, churnalism, and add no value to the quest for notability im a wikipedia sense. a PR piece is issued by the subject and is not independent, It is a primary source.

It does not matter that the media organ is itself reliable, all media may carry a press release. Many are identifiable on sight by theor format, often starting thus:

PLACENAME, Foo Corporation announced some announcement or other on this date.

Often they end with contact details, but not always. Sometimes a bylined journalist picks it up and massages it.

I used to write press releases that the journal could pick up and massage with very little work. That way they hit their word target and I got my PR placement. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 16:48, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

On your references 9 and 10 (currently)

• https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=ITOF&u=wikipedia&id=GALE%7CA674099740&v=2.1&it=r&sid=bookmark-ITOF&asid=6c3d4266
• https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=ITOF&u=wikipedia&id=GALE%7CA674099740&v=2.1&it=r&sid=bookmark-ITOF&asid=6c3d4266

You will see that they are identical. So the are not multiple independent sources.

We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 16:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I will continue this discussion in the Talk page for the article. MedGME (talk) 18:56, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Piedmont Healthcare moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Piedmont Healthcare, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 07:43, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

The alternative to moving this article back to Draft space was to send it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I have reviewed it there. It is notable, but you must verify its notability for it to exist as an article. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 07:49, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your guidance. MedGME (talk) 11:45, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Seeking input on suggested edit to USMLE article

Hello, @MedGME. I noticed that you've contributed to USMLE and I was wondering if you could provide some feedback on an edit suggested I recently posted to the talk page. There is a factual error that I've suggested an edit for. Basically, it says that those with Osteopathic degrees have to pass either the COMLEX or the USMLE for licensure. Sources say that many DOs take USMLE to improve their chances with residency applications, but not that they can opt for USMLE only, so the either/or language seems incorrect to me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! SBCornelius (talk) 16:58, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Achondroplasiaphobia

The article Achondroplasiaphobia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I am unable to find reliable medical sources that discuss this phobia. Google search results in fewer than 100 results, none of which is a proper medical source. Zero results from a PubMed search. The APA source given in the article is for insomnia, while the Mayo Clinic and Little People sources are broken links.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ... discospinster _talk 17:39, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Marjorie Stone

Hello MedGME,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marjorie Stone for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Marjorie Stone to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
