Antioxidants[edit]

HI there, thanks for adding to this article, could you provide some references for the section you added? Thanks. TimVickers 20:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, don't wory about formatting the references, I can deal with that. Let's get that section's content fixed before we deal with formatting. I've put some comments on the Talk:antioxidant page. All my best. TimVickers 14:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sebastiano, I've proposed an outline for this section on the talk page. I would be grateful for your comments. TimVickers 15:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sebastiano, it sounds good but I'm not really sure selenium is an antioxidant under the definition used on this page, have a look at the talk page and see what you think. TimVickers 20:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tim,

Excuse me, but I don’t understand, what I was asked for to do now! Can you help me?

Yours Sebastiano

Iodine[edit]

Thank you for adding information to the articles Iodine and Stomach cancer. I have made invisible your text in Iodine (using <!-- --> tags) because of unclear references. The text is accessible if you press "edit". Could you please (i) check the http://web.tiscali.it/iodio/ site. My server simply blocks it because it detects adult content. Is that server hijacked? (ii) Please complete references (preferably for your every addition). Wikipedia is approaching peer-review journals in this regard. Every significant fact should be supported by reference(s) or it might be deleted. It is a nuisance to learn wikipedia formatting, but could you please add refs in some free-style format, such as <ref>S. Venturi "Paper title" Journal volume (year) page, doi number</ref>. Other editors will clean up the formatting. Doi number is very much desirable for web access. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 00:36, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point out that you should state that you are in a conflict of interest when writing in the iodine article. Please have a look in Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. To add your publications into wikipedia is not what should be done. If there is no review article or book this concept might not to well established to be in the iodine article.--Stone (talk) 19:18, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Let me expand a bit this comment: WP does welcome authors adding their published results, but, such addition should be very discrete - edits which show bias towards self-promotion might be deleted right away. In other words, wherever there are other appropriate references (books and reviews preferred) do use them instead. Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 23:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You have to understand that another problem is we're short on space, particularly in a general article on iodine. We need subarticles on the evolution of iodine in an article on Iodine in biology which didn't exist, till today. Look for a lot of your stuff there. A lot of your stuff on the speculated evolution of iodine can go there (as speculation, like a lot of evolutionary stuff since we weren't there and don't have samples). I like your reasoning in all this, and the role selenium in deiodinases is more clear to me after reading it. A worse problem, however, is making epidemological conclusions based on post-hoc case-control studies. The Japanese have a dozen reason to have more or less stomach cancer, and you never tell a proxy variable from a real one, until you do a randomized prospective study (not done, yet for iodine).

In any case, be patient. The Iodine in biology article needs fleshing out and references fixed (your references put into Wiki form), and some of the most speculative and hypothetical stuff removed completely (this is an encyclopedia, not the Journal of Medical Hypotheses). It may LOOK like you're not getting anywhere here, but you are: we just have to sort through the stuff you've bought and decide where it should stay, and where. So look at Iodine in biology. I'm goin go have to make some summary cuts even in what remains of the biology section of Iodine, in keeping with the policy of WP:SS, which you should go and read.

November 2009[edit]

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Nutrition, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.  Sandstein  09:49, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Letters to the editor[edit]

Please note that letters to the editor, even of medical journals, are not considered reliable sources in most circumstances. Please do not cite them in articles. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 15:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AAH[edit]

Hi,

What's with the odd edit at AAH? It makes no sense to me, yet keeps happening. — kwami (talk) 20:26, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Evolutionary history of life‎[edit]

See MOS:PAIC. Not a big deal, but definitely better to follow established standard/guideline. DMacks (talk) 18:56, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That set of edits is actually more problematic. Dr. Venturi, please stop repeatedly putting in citations to your own work when it has been removed. For scientific articles, letters to the editor and newsletters are not considered reliable sources and should not be included. Accordingly, I have removed them from the article. If your edits have been reversed, you need to go to the appropriate talk page and discuss why - not wait a couple months and try again. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 11:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh good catch, WLU (and others). Yes, Sebastiano, please stop. Several editors over many months have repeatedly told you this content/self-citing is not appropriate. You are the one who now needs to explicitly discuss why, despite the guidelines and ideas others have mentioned, it should still be happening. If the work is notable in the world of science, it will obviously have appeared in refereed articles that are cited by other refereed articles, and a brief mention can possibly be included. But WP:BRD and WP:RS are important guidelines for you to read (in addition to WP:COI). DMacks (talk) 12:10, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Iodine[edit]

Please examine WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:COI which explain why such edits are not appropriate. Materialscientist (talk) 10:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree: it is inappropriate to use Wikipedia to publicize one's research. Many journals exist for this purpose.--Smokefoot (talk) 13:33, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note discussion at WP:COIN[edit]

The activities of Sebastio Venturi are being discussed here. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 13:14, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
