So you are really floundering here and are just sucking up other people's time. Would it be perhaps useful if we talked? I tried to call the phone number for the "Nutritional Therapy for IBD" given in the NASPGHAN 2018 abstract book that you mentioned [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Specific_carbohydrate_diet&diff=prev&oldid=869474734 in this diff], but it just went to voicemail. Shall we try to talk via skype or something? [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 21:48, 26 November 2018 (UTC) |

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Wikiproject Medicine!
Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of content about health here on Wikipedia, pursuing the mission of Wikipedia to provide the public with articles that present accepted knowledge, created and maintained by a community of editors.
One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board!
First, some basics about editing Wikipedia, which is a strange place behind the scenes; you may find some of the ways we operate to be surprising. Please take your time and understand how this place works. Here are some useful links, which have information to help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Everything starts with the mission - the mission of Wikipedia is to provide the public with articles that summarize accepted knowledge, working in a community of editors. (see WP:NOT)
- We find "accepted knowledge" for biomedical information in sources defined by WP:MEDRS -- we generally use literature reviews published in good journals or statements by major medical or scientific bodies and we generally avoid using research papers, editorials, and popular media as sources for such content. We read MEDRS sources and summarize them, giving the most space and emphasis (what we call WP:WEIGHT) to the most prevalent views found in MEDRS sources.
- Please see WPMED's "how to" guide for editing content about health
- More generally please see The five pillars of Wikipedia and please be aware of the "policies and guidelines" that govern what we do here; these have been generated by the community itself over the last fifteen years, and you will need to learn them (which is not too hard, it just takes some time). Documents about Wikipedia - the "back office" - reside in "Wikipedia space" where document titles are preceded by "Wikipedia:" (often abbreviated "WP:"). WP space is separate from "article space" (also called "mainspace") - the document at WP:CONSENSUS is different from, and serves as a different purpose than, the document at Consensus.
Every article and page in Wikipedia has an associated talk page, and these pages are essential because we editors use them to collaborate and work out disagreements. (This is your Talk page, associated with your user page.) When you use a Talk page, you should sign your name by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment; the Wikipedia software will automatically convert that into links to your Userpage and this page and will add a datestamp. This is how we know who said what. We also "thread" comments in a way that you will learn with time. Please see the Talk Page Guidelines to learn how to use talk pages.
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. You can also just add our talk page to your watchlist and join in discussions that interest you. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note below if you have any questions or problems. I wish you all the best here in Wikipedia!

Further notes
The three key documents in the welcome message above are
- WP:MEDRS- the sourcing guideline, supplementing the main sourcing guideline, WP:RS
- WP:MEDMOS - the style guideline, supplementing the main style guide, WP:MOS
- WP:MEDHOW, which has very useful tips.
The message below provides a bit more introduction to MEDRS and a concrete explanation of how to format citations, per MEDHOW...

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.
- While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
- Then click on "templates",
- Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
- If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".
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. Jytdog (talk) 21:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Never
Never do this again.
What I or anybody else writes on a user talk page is not necessarily what they would write on an article talk page. You made it appear that I had actually written that on the article talk page -- you misrepresented me.
What makes it worse is that you didn't even tell me you did that. Never do that again. Jytdog (talk) 18:17, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Edit war warning
STOP posting my comments from my user talk page on the article talk page.
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Specific carbohydrate diet, you may be blocked from editing. Jytdog (talk) 03:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- Beall4, you re-added the same content you were asked not to re-add. I have corrected the formatting so that it is clearly attributed as a quote. In the future, please link to sections using the table of contents at the top of the page or use a link to a WP:diff. We all want to help you contribute constructively to the article, but you have to listen to what other people are saying. Thanks, AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 18:21, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
- And you've done it yet again, here. Read the talk page, answer the questions we're asking you, but do not copy and paste talk page messages from one page to another. Bradv 21:23, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 21:37, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
A better way?
So you are really floundering here and are just sucking up other people's time. Would it be perhaps useful if we talked? I tried to call the phone number for the "Nutritional Therapy for IBD" given in the NASPGHAN 2018 abstract book that you mentioned in this diff, but it just went to voicemail. Shall we try to talk via skype or something? Jytdog (talk) 21:48, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
