==Second request (or more) to use edit summaries == |

Ozzie, the link I gave you before indicated how you can set your preferences to avoid leaving no edit summary. When you edit without edit summaries, that creates a burden on other editors, who then have to click on each edit to see what was done. Please use edit summaries when editing in the main space. If you would just say in edit summary, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=REM_Sleep_Behavior_Disorder_Single-Question_Screen&curid=57117406&diff=933260497&oldid=933260417 add synonym to infobox,] other editors (like myself) don't have to check what a trusted editor is doing. If you would indicate [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=REM_Sleep_Behavior_Disorder_Single-Question_Screen&diff=prev&oldid=933260417 add case control study,] I would know I do need to check it.

Doubled and quadrupled commas
Hi, I noticed your use of Doubled and quadrupled commas, a notation which I have never seen before. If you invented this notation, I am interested in its genesis. It reminds me of Jacqueline Kennedy's letter-writing style (she tended to avoid periods). Perhaps you might illuminate its meaning for me? What I thought of when reading the edit, was that you were thinking multiple phrases that you were intending to fill in later, but then you cut your edit short, leaving the commas. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 16:30, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
I will amend such irregular comma proliferations in the future, I thank you for bringing it to my attention--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:55, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

ebola article 2, Navarro College ,Texas/(cover)Might that not be better placed, due to the low relevance of a singe college in Texas in relation to the wider epidemic, in the U.S. sub article instead section "Call for suspension of visas"?

Can we be friends?/ ebola
I wanted to make sure there weren't any hard feelings about the Ebola article. You're clearly a WP:Good-faith editor, and I don't want to upset or wrong you. The new information about the Liberian infection rate was important and useful, and I hope you don't mind my revising it. I was trying to improve it according to WP:TONE and WP:MOS, as I have needed other editors to fix my own edits.
As to allegations of sockpuppetry, I recognize that I've been unusually active for a new-ish user (evidently I need more of a life). I can totally see where you're coming from, and going to an admin seems like a great response. You're welcome to go through my past and future edits, and follow instructions on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations to report me if you find evidence of misbehavior. Thanks for your efforts!

RE/ Hemopurifier [5]/(wikiproject med)^
Hi Ozzie I researched this. a) it's an early stage product which may never come into general use ( http://www.aethlonmedical.com/products/hemopurifier/index.htm ) b) it must be attached to a kidney dialysis machine - not many of those in W Africa !! ( http://m.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/14/aethlon-hemopurifier-ebola/ ) c) the patient was receiving multiple therapies and his viral load was already in decline ( http://m.utsandiego.com/news/2014/nov/14/aethlon-hemopurifier-ebola/ ) Cheers, Bob. Robertpedley (talk) 15:22, 15 November 2014 (UTC) Hello again, Ozzie! Please don't take my edits personally. I spend an average of 1 hour researching before I make any edit. I'll only add material if it enhances the value of the article to the reader - it's important to maintain the reputation of WP and of the Ebola pages. I'll remove any edit which doesn't meet WP guidelines or is not relevant to the page. Robertpedley (talk) 11:32, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
CONAKRY Hi Ozzie The BBC lead says "Clinical trials to try to find an effective treatment for Ebola patients are to start in West Africa next month." The serum trial hasn't started yet.Bob Robertpedley (talk) 15:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- ANI(decision)That's a content dispute. ANI isn't for content disputes.
[6] reviewing this diff though you are correct that his stance is not logical. The material in question was the USA answer and precautions to the Epidemic in west Africa. So it is related and belongs in the article. But that is only my opinion. I think they are suggesting you should put it Ebola virus cases in the United States. This isn't unreasonable. You really just to get with them and talk. Take it to the talk page. If that don't work open an RFC or take it to the appropriate noticeboard. There are plenty of ways to get a consensus.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 17:08, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

RE/Dyslexia/GA (wikiproject med) [7]
Hi Ozzie10aaaa
Due to my own dyslexic issues my copy editing skills are next to zero, but i can help provide links to supporting citations and and worldcat IDs for books. I found out about my poor copy editing abilities when i tried ot edit the dyslexia article back in 2009 - 2010. There was a Dyslexia prject set of pages with a few suggested future updates. Not sure if it si still accessable. best wishes dolfrog (talk) 12:08, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
It is slightly dated but some of the ideas may be useful Wikipedia:WikiProject Dyslexia and my most recent set of dyslexia links including some research papers can be found on my new Useful Dyslexia links web page which represents more my personal perpsective. Currently I am busy elsewhere but i will try to keep up with your progress with the article dolfrog (talk) 18:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
I would be honored to assist,thank you --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
Definition of Dyslexia
Hi Ozzie10aaaa,
While it's true when it comes to dyslexia the diagnosis is clinical and scientific, the treatment is educational.
That's why my hope is to find a home for the NICHD definition of dyslexia. In 1994 and again in 2002 the IDA lead the Definition Consensus Project in partnership with the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The resulting definition helped align the professional community and laid the groundwork for important public policy initiatives going forward.
Todayl, this definition is the cornerstone for important legislation in the U.S. that is leading to early screening, evaluation and help. It took an extraordinary commitment from a large dedicated team to reach this important milestone and it would be great to find a place on Wikipedia for this important information.
Please advise.
Best,

Thanks for the thanks! Have just noticed: what does "sounding out words" in the second line of the Lead mean? ~ P-123 (talk) 12:32, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- P-123 dyslexics go by different routes of learning they need "sounds" to ascertain what it is they are saying or being said...in this case it simply means an emphasis on the word..example -the train is coming,,,a dyslexic would say - t-h-e t-r-a-I-n I-s c-o-m-I-n-g to get a full appreciation of the sentence, it isn't easy , thanks for asking--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:49, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

west Africa/ebola
Hi Ozzie.. I think that Perhaps these 3 do need a little rearranging.. Guinea with the lowest cases, but the index case has to stay first, Sierra Leone second sounds good, with Liberia last Mostly because of the total case counts. The daily Case counts must be viewed cautiously, how many times has it happened that case counts slow, just before it resurfaces in a new region. Also i'm concerned about the 'Suspected case' counts that are still increasing, as well as the slowness of reports coming out of Liberia. Then again it wont move to "Contained" until WHO confirms... So I see no real problem with a little reshuffle.. GremlinSA 13:30, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Just a quick note update.. Looking at latest released figures from Liberia.. Feb 28th http://www.mohsw.gov.lr/documents/Sitrep%20289%20Feb%2028th%202015.pdf - suspected:4354 Probable:1877 Confirmed:3149, and March 5th http://www.mohsw.gov.lr/documents/Sitrep%20294%20March%205th%202015.pdf suspected:4479 (+125) Probable:1879(+2) Confirmed:3149... thats 127 cases in 5 days.

MEDDATE /(wikiproject med)^[14]
You cite MEDDATE in a lot of discussions, so I wanted to take a moment to clarify that "rule". It's meant to be a rule of thumb, rather than an absolute requirement. It doesn't say just "five years"; it says "five years or so", and those last two words matter. It also says that the rule was written for subjects that receive the most attention, like Hypertension, and not for rare diseases or other subjects that don't see much research attention.
What you really want is to consider the last few high-quality secondary sources, which (depending on the subject) might be professional-level books or review articles. We want to take advantage of what MEDDATE calls the "full review cycle": Alice published a review, Bob published a primary study, and Chris read both Alice's and Bob's papers and wrote a new review. If it took ten years to get through a full review cycle, then MEDDATE actually wants ten years, not five. Conversely, if you get three good review articles every month, then MEDDATE would rather than you used this year's or last year's best publications, instead of going back to anything that was no more than four years and 364 days old.

Humans and the Environment
Hi Ozzie10aaaa. A notification came up that you asked me a question[15], but I then saw you reverted it so assumed you changed your mind. I only just now noticed that you asked it in another format. I know Jytdog gave an answer at WT:MED#Safety of genetically modified foods, but since that thread is getting quite long and relatively stale I though I would give my 2 cents here. Feel free to move it back there if you think that appropriate.
The interactions between GMOs and the environment then the environment and humans are complicated so a straight answer may be difficult. Some of the main environmental concerns covered at the controversies page are; insects developing resistance, horizontal gene transfer to other plants, death of non-target organisms, loss of biodiversity and secondary pests becoming more prominent. The effect of these on the environment are hard to accurately predict, let alone whether they will have any indirect effect on human health. Glyphosphate-resistant weeds resulting from gene flow are unlikely to develop outside of crops as they do not provide any selective advantage in the wild, but insect resistant ones might. Loss of biodiversity is a problem with all agriculture and so is the death of non-target organisms. Everything is interconnected in some way so I can't honestly say something occurring to environment through genetic engineering will never effect human health at some point. I feel that would be true for any technology though. Most people when thinking about human health and GM food are more concerned with the direct relationship. If I eat this will it be harmful to me. I think the article is better off distinguishing between the environment and human health the way it does.
You gave an example that increased pesticides used on GM crops may lead to increased risk of cancers.[16] The theory being that GMO crops have increased pesticide use and high levels of pesticide are a risk factor for some cancers. Currently there are two main groups of GM crops on the market (Bt crops and glyphosphate resistant crops). Bt crops actually use less pesticide since they are modified to be insect resistant (so need less synthetic pesticide). The Bt toxin itself has been shown through multiple studies to be harmless to humans and even non-target insects[17][18][19]. Glyphosphate is relatively safe to humans (see Glyphosate#Human toxicity) compared to other herbicides. Any chemical application is going to be regulated under various governmental acts designed to keep toxicity levels below a certain level and this will apply to all crops including GMO ones. You also have to take into account that most toxicity studies are done using straight round-up or a similar product, whereas in practice the final food product will at most have only residue of the chemical and in most cases virtually none of the pesticide will remain. Again all this is all regulated (with-holding periods and the like) and not unique to GMO.
Anyway, I am not trying to convince you to become a supporter GM. I don't even really know where you stand on the issue. I personally see huge potential and most of the risks as being speculative, especially those related to human health. I knew a group of researchers that were trying to put vaccines in bananas. One idea being that they could be used to vaccinate kids in regions with unreliable or no power. I think this factor and many other similar ones get overlooked and the discussion is dominated by Monsanto's involvement and much of the opposition is because of them.

Ozzie, I've had your page on my watch list because we work on the Ebola article together. I noticed that you deleted Waid's note. Was it by accident? I've known Waid for years and can hardly say how many times I've gone to her for advise. IMO, she's one of our best editors and I've never seen her to display the arrogance and lack of good intent that is not uncommon for this project. If she tried to help me I'd consider it an honor that she was willing to spend the time on me, a less experienced editor. Gandydancer (talk) 14:50, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I have been working on Stab wound for a little bit and I am working to get it up to GA status hopefully but I really am sort of limited in what else I can add.

Can you help on Post Ebola Eye image/ebola
Hi, I've uploaded an image to commons for this article, but being new to this stuff I wasn't able to provide necessary information on the copyrights status. The image actually is all around the internet and I'm fairly sure it's free. An admin on the commons told me that my only chance is to contact the original creator and ask for permission. I traced the image to here.(NYtimes article attributes it to them) But I was unable to find the image on that site, nor could I find the creator of the image.(though I found who the eye belonged to) I'm overwhelmed by the amount of work this needed and I feel like it's a newbie mistake. Is there an easy way to do this? The image obviously not essential, but I think it would be nice to have it. Hope you have time, thanks in advance. Darwinian Ape talk 21:07, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Shielding lotion Clinical Studies/(wikiproject med)^
Thanks for taking time to reach out to me regarding my article. I do have a question regarding the Clinical studies section. I happen to have the clinical study documentation on hand, but I'm not sure these have actually been published online. How do I cite this properly? Can I just include the study title, ref number date and company that conducted the study? Thanks for your help. James Schultz (talk) 15:14, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
I just read the article about Medical Citations and it stated that studies where animal test subjects are used do not qualify as a "Clinical Study" and should be referred to as "Pre-Clinical Studies". Each of these studies were conducted on laboratory animals. Should I list them as "Pre-Clinical" rather than "Clinical"? Thanks James Schultz (talk) 15:20, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- James Schultz (in response to both posts) ...yes you may list them consistent with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles but first it needs to be PubMed indexed, (it needs to not be a primary study only with exceptions, are they included per Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)), any article (journal) needs to be a review or meta-analysis thus a secondary source (I should point out that it is important that you not have a conflict of interest with the article either as primary, secondary or corresponding author)....you may also use a source such as a position statement from CDC,WHO,HHS,NIH and so forth or a medical textbook, please feel free to ask should there be any questions, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:33, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Ozzie10aaaa. Don't quote me on this, but I believe the initial studies referred to were primary studies conducted for a particular manufacturer.

I've been seeing a lot of bad information on people involved in value-based healthcare and would like to put up real, fact-based content. If I'm successful in this one, I want to move on to other key figures in the field. Thank you so much for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NimbleToad (talk • contribs) 23:52, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

- Thank you so much for your comments! I'm only related in that I also work in value-based healthcare and am frustrated by how many people are claiming credit for hard work from a relatively small group of people. I'd like to put up pages for key people. I'll work on adjusting the article so it reflects why the figure is notable and only lists fact-based commentary. If those changes are made, is it a reasonable next step to move it out of draft space?NimbleToad (talk) 03:00, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

- Thank you! Your revisions are great and make the page much more readable. I updated formatting and added citations where missing. I don't see any objection on the talk page. Could I ask you to please help in moving this out of draft space? NimbleToad (talk) 23:46, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks. I've asked colleagues and they feel the information is balanced and represents important history as we go through rapid changes in health policy and clinical data use. Unfortunately, I don't know other Wikipedia editors to leave comments. I haven't seen any objections to move the page out of draft space. Once this is done, I'd like to go on to work on John Halamka, another influential individual in the field. Thanks for helping me to learn the process! NimbleToad (talk) 23:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have been more clear. I don't have permission to move this out of draft space. You offered to move it out of draft space as long as there is consensus on the talk page. You've made the article much stronger and there have been no objections in talk. Could you please help with the move out of draft space? Thanks! NimbleToad (talk) 16:49, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

WHO Model List of Essential Medicines/Review for Featured list
Wikipedia:Featured list criteria
- Prose. It features professional standards of writing.
- Lead. It has an engaging lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria.
- Comprehensiveness.
(a) It comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items; where appropriate, it has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about the items. (b) In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for stand-alone lists; does not violate the content-forking guideline, does not largely duplicate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article.
- Structure. It is easy to navigate and includes, where helpful, section headings and table sort facilities.
- Style. It complies with the Manual of Style and its supplementary pages.
(a) Visual appeal. It makes suitable use of text layout, formatting, tables, and colour; and a minimal proportion of items are redlinked. (b) Media files. It has images and other media, if appropriate to the topic, that follow Wikipedia's usage policies, with succinct captions. Non-free images and other media satisfy the criteria for the inclusion of non-free content and are labeled accordingly
- Stability. It is not the subject of ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured list process

WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Over the last 4 years a number of us have been worked to improve all 414 medicines on this list. The leads of each item now provides a decent well referenced overview of the subject in question and an article exists for each of the medicines / combinations. The WHO just released an image under an open license for use to us. World Health Day is April 7th and 2017 also marks the 40 anniversary of the EML. Would be nice to get this ready for the main page for that date. I also believe it meets the FL criteria. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:13, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

...the esteem with which Doc is held at WP Medicine, and I share it. But when entering a complex discussion, is it not better to fully understand the issues involved, before taking a side (even with as easy as voting and side-taking is here)? Your work on the various of your editing projects makes clear you are capable of sophisticated and subtle understanding. The issues of our allowing self-published medical imagery (and the associated matter of our seeming lack of concern for patient consent) are things that could sink the ship.

Facto Post – Issue 1 – 14 June 2017
 EditorialThis newsletter starts with the motto "common endeavour for 21st century content". To unpack that slogan somewhat, we are particularly interested in the new, post-Wikidata collection of techniques that are flourishing under the Wikimedia collaborative umbrella. To linked data, SPARQL queries and WikiCite, add gamified participation, text mining and new holding areas, with bots, tech and humans working harmoniously. Scientists, librarians and Wikimedians are coming together and providing a more unified view of an emerging area. Further integration of both its community and its technical aspects can be anticipated. While Wikipedia will remain the discursive heart of Wikimedia, data-rich and semantic content will support it. We'll aim to be both broad and selective in our coverage. This publication Facto Post (the very opposite of retroactive) and call to action are brought to you monthly by ContentMine. Links
If you wish to receive no further issues of Facto Post, please remove your name from our mailing list. Alternatively, to opt out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Adding this to the infobox is misleading. It is clear from the article that it is NOT an inherited disease. Familial (or, rather, on the latest theory, commensal), but not genetic. Philip Trueman (talk) 09:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

- It is clear from one of these pages you cite that there is disagreement among the primary sources. One ".. concluded that purely environmental, mendelian dominant, and mendelian recessive hypotheses of causation could be rejected." I repeat: adding this to the infobox misrepresents what the secondary sources are saying. It is not even certain that there is a genetic component at all.

Request for more input in Antibiotics Talk/(wikiproject med)^
Hello! I see you commented at the top of the discussion in Antibiotics Talk
I wonder if you could come back and lay eyes on the reference in question and comment on whether it's a reliable biomedical secondary source per WP:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)#Definitions. I haven't made a lot of edits, so I may be applying my professional understanding inappropriately, but it seems like all four of the references I referred to in talk are considered reliable secondary sources here as well. You've been around for a while, so if you look at the actual references and say they're not, then I know i've misunderstood. If I can get some consensus on whether those sources are appropriate, then it will be worth my time to rewrite as suggested in talk. If not, I won't bother.
This is the reference that was originally used. It's a perspective's article published in Science (see the publishers requirements for that type of article: http://www.sciencemag.org/authors/science-information-authors [1]
Here are the additional references mentioned in talk. I'll use web links here: Science, a news article (on the topic in general, not on the previous perspectives article) http://science.sciencemag.org/content/324/5935/1637.long
A review in Chemical Reviews, also on the topic in general (pub med central link to full text) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3173521/
A more recent review (12/2017) in Cell Press, that includes a section on the topic: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=28688575 (pubmed link) http://www.cell.com/trends/microbiology/pdf/S0966-842X(17)30148-8.pdf (link to pdf, requires subscription)
Please let me know if requesting a comment in this way isn't appropriate. I'm new at making edits, and I want to make sure any contributions I make to the community are done in the right way! Dbhall200:14, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- since I feel there is nothing further to add(I have been watching this talk/article)per [75] would also suggest Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard where I would contribute, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 00:41, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Archiving?Help:Archiving_a_talk_page/(wikiproject med)^
Hello, I have noticed you have a tendency to add archives to talk pages. For example here and here. May I ask why you do this? Or if there is a specific guideline I can read about this? WP:ARCHIVE notes in the lead that when a Talk page exceeds 75,000 bytes it is recommended to archive per the talk page guidelines. Linked examples above were just 14,000 and 21,000 bytes respectively. --Treetear (talk) 20:57, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- so..if we look at[76] and then Help:Archiving_a_talk_page the first sentence indicates... It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page when that page becomes too large. Bulky talk pages may be hard to navigate, contain obsolete discussion, or become a burden for users with slow Internet connections or computers....the last discussion on that page was Aug. 2015(2.5 years ago)[77]....the aforementioned 'archive help page' further indicates ,However, when to archive, and what may be the optimal length for a talk page, are subjective decisions that should be adapted to each case --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 21:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for the answer. If we use the same first quote with different emphasis:
- It is customary to periodically archive old discussions on a talk page when that page becomes too large. Bulky talk pages may be hard to navigate, contain obsolete discussion, or become a burden for users with slow Internet connections or computers.
- In my opinion, it is a bit overkill to archive Talk pages with only around 15 or less sections (each with only a few comments), seeing there are no active discussions popping up recently that could re-populate the Talk page. I see no use in having an empty Talk page with an archive, compared to a small Talk page with no recent discussion. The previous discussion is useful to have visible for readers and editors and should not be 'hidden' or be archived to give the appearance that the discussions are finished. Occassionally, comments are given on older discussions, especially on pages where there are not many sections on the Talk page. Even if no comments would pop up in 2.5 years, maybe what's stopping it is that previous discussions on a topic have already commented what the editor had in mind suggesting.
- I think you may have misread the Guidelines and missed the necessary point that archiving suggestedly only should be considered when a page is large or "bulky", not necessarily when nobody has commented in a while. --Treetear (talk) 22:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- perHelp:Archiving_a_talk_page, However, when to archive, and what may be the optimal length for a talk page, are subjective decisions that should be adapted to each case...is clear IMO, thank you(besides if there is any particular article/talk you think needs to be reexamined , just revert)--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 23:05, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Thrombocytosis /(wikiproject med)^
Hi Ozzie - i asked for a page move earlier - Essential thrombocytosis to Essential thrombocythemia. This was because it was the name used on the page, in the infobox and in the refs. I've just looked at the page thrombocytosis which you edited recently - and thought i'd bring it to your attention - both pages ought to use the same name. Ngrams favour essential thrombocythemia but favour thrombocytosis. The page was moved - any thoughts? thanks (and a late thanks for all your past thanks) --Iztwoz (talk) 15:46, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

- I'd (respectfully) argue against some of those points which are relevant to us. Namely, that we are not purely web or email based: we are a dedicated society which provides accredited, evidence-based, peer-reviewed info. Indeed, some of the authors used as references are members of our Scientific Advisory Panel. We do exist in bricks and mortar (I assure you!) and provide global services. Along the same lines, we are not local, state or regional - we are an international organisation.

Caudal regression syndrome external links/(wikiproject med)^
In this edit to Caudal regression syndrome, you removed several external links as inappropriate. While I might agree with some of your choices, might I inquire about some others? Specifically
The first is the only known organization that deals specifically with this condition, and the second is a nationally recognized organization whose resources for rare diseases and conditions are widely valued. I believe these two links fall within the policy outlined by WP:EL for links that can provide the reader with more information than can conveniently be included within the encyclopedia article.

Unicentric Castleman disease Article structure /(wikiproject med)^
I noticed that you changed the organization of the unicentric castleman disease article I wrote.

I did prefer having a separate section for classification at the beginning of the article as it is critical to understanding the disease. Please let me know if you are comfortable with me moving the classification section back. I am new to wiki and did not want to overturn your changes as you are a much more experienced editor. Thanks CDK55 (talk) 13:19, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Looks like they resurrected Sinclair method / The Sinclair Method after that 2015 AfD /(wikiproject med)^
As per the suggestion on the closing admin's talk page, I am pinging active editors who voted on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sinclair_Method_(2nd_nomination) a few years ago about what happened to that page. Within a month of the original Sinclair Method (currently a redirect) article being deleted, The Sinclair Method (also a redirect) was created; that was moved to Sinclair method and finally made in to a "soft" (i.e. history preserved) redirect; here is the history of that article. I myself have restored Sinclair Method as a redirect, for pragmatic reasons: The page http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/10/26/alcoholics-anonymous-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ has a link to the old Sinclair Method article, and I think a link to a short summary is more useful for readers than a dead link. (I personally think The Sinclair Method probably doesn't work, since the same treatment has only shown a modest effect when other scientists than Sinclair try to replicate the results, but I'm biased towards 12-step approaches, WP:NOTAFORUM and all that) Defendingaa (talk) 14:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

New Page Patrol?
Hi Ozzie10aaaa,
I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself. We could use a good medical editor like yourself on the team.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.
Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 21:19, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi Ozzie10aaaa. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right may be revoked by an administrator. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 20:44, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018
|
Hello Ozzie10aaaa, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
- June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
- New technology, new rules
- New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
- Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
- Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
- Editathons
- Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
- The Signpost
- The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters.

Not everything needs an infobox /(wikiproject med)^
I noticed that you've recently added a bunch of blank infoboxes to a handful of pages; if there is no content in an infobox, there is no point in adding it to an article. Would you please consider self-reverting those additions? Primefac (talk) 14:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- well actually, they are for diagnostic test and serve the fact that if information is available, then it can be added in the future--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:56, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello Ozzie10aaaa, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Request to submit Wikipedia article to Wiki.J.Med
I have nominated the some Wikipedia articles (that have significant contributions from you) for review through Wiki.J.Med. I need to ask you whether you would like to have your name (original name) with affiliations included in the list of authors, or at least your pseudonymous username, and whether you would like act as the corresponding author of those articles. It would be appreciable if you can join in and help to upgrade the article(s) as they undergo review. I myself would be joining in and would try to help though the review process (and possibly prior to that as well). Seeking your cooperation. You can respond to this message or contact me privately.

Hello,
I wanted to share a follow-up to an RfC you participated in from late 2016/early 2017. It was regarding making certain warning templates visible on mobile. The Readers web team has been working to improve how these templates appear on the mobile website. I shared an announcement with communities today that covers what is happening. If you have any interest, I encourage your support in giving feedback on the project page or helping update templates of this nature with some of our recommendations.

Hello Ozzie10aaaa,
 This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. |

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Parameter 'thumb'/(wikiproject med)^
Hi Ozzie, when you add an image to an infobox, like this one-Apocrine gland carcinoma, can you try to remember not to include the |thumb parameter with the image filename, please? The infobox already deals with the image position and size, and the thumb parameter just gets treated as an invalid parameter. That places the article in Category:Pages using infobox medical condition with unknown parameters, which I'm trying to reduce from its present 469 members (so that I can clean up the template). It only had 466 yesterday and it's quite frustrating trying to get the number down. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 21:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

User contributions Crawdaunt Howardula aoronymphium/(wikiproject med)^
Hey,
Glad to fill in some blanks. I am loosely related to the topics as a former colleague of a researcher who works on the Drosophila*Spiroplasma*Howardula system. Crawdaunt (talk) 20:55, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- have left a note on your talk[102]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 22:21, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- I previously read and understood the context of COI, and am fully aware of the biases I can have consciously and unconsciously. I would like to know who can possibly write an article on the topics I contributed to (basic species information) without having been educated somewhat of A) their existence, B) their use in research. I did not declare COI because I as I said, I am loosely connected, but I am not an active researcher in the field nor do I have an active relationship in the field. If this qualifies as COI, I admit I am unsure of exactly what I can write about on Wikipedia. Please advise on how I can continue writing on topics of which I am knowledgeable without being blocked by COI concerns.
- p.s. reading this... as text is void of inflection, please understand I am not trying to be snarky. I am just a bit perplexed where the line is between educated and unrelated vs. educated and related. Surely the degree of COI falls on a spectrum, where above some arbitrary threshold it can be deemed inappropriate. But this also implies below said arbitrary threshold it is appropriate. - Crawdaunt
- [103]answered on your talk, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:49, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, Dr. Steve Perlman. However, if you look at the number of publications relating to D. neotestacea, you will find that a research group off-shooting from John Jaenike is responsible for almost the entirety of research related to D. neotestacea. It is not a highly competitive field. As far as I am aware, labs actively doing research with D. neotestacea include: John Jaenike's lab at the University of Rochester, Kellie Dyer's lab (former post-doc of Jaenike), and Steve Perlman's lab (former post-doc of Jaenike). I am happy to provide the google scholar search return for "D. neotestacea", which you will see returns results almost entirely from John Jaenike, Kellie Dyer, or Steve Perlman. Indeed, Jaenike is an author on every publication on the first three page of results directly related to D. neotestacea (owing to his starting in this field in the 1970s), many of which are co-authored with Dr. Steve Perlman pertaining to D. neotestacea*Spiroplasma*Howardula interactions. K. Dyer's lab and S. Perlman's lab also focus on population genetics in the species group. So pretty much all references to D. neotestacea with respect to Howardula, or Spiroplasma, are attached to J. Jaenike and/or S. Perlman. Please see Google Scholar search results, and particularly note in papers where D. neotestacea is in the title, the senior author is almost always either Jaenike, Perlman, or Dyer: https://scholar.google.ca/scholar?start=0&q=drosophila+neotestacea&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5
- I wrote the H. aoronymphium page after seeing it referenced in the Drosophila falleni page, but H. aoronymphium had not yet been created. I mentioned D. neotestacea on the H. aoronmyphium page, and subsequently wrote a page for D. neotestacea as one was not yet written in English (though D. neotestacea had an entry in 6 other languages). I hope this clarifies the reason why the authors attached to J. Jaenike, S. Perlman, and K. Dyer appear so frequently in the D. neotestacea page. - Crawdaunt

Reference for "March hematuria" /(wikiproject med)^
Hi, you have reverted my adding a reference for the existence of "march hematuria", which I merely copied from mechanical hemolytic anemia. Your reversion edit did not give any information about why the reference is not applicable. I would be very interested to understand the basis for that reversion. Thanks, 192.118.27.253 (talk) 11:26, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- if you take a look at edit summary it says MEDRS, which can be seen hereWikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine).This applies specifically to the date of the reference in question as they may not be older than 5 years(older) from publication, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 11:32, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- OK, this is interesting. Does this mean I should edit the lead for HIV/AIDS, remove the three references, which are all older than 5 years old, which confirm that HIV causes AIDS, and add a "citation needed" instead? Somehow, I don't think that would improve that article. There are countless medical conditions which are no longer being studied because of advances in medicine or accepted medical knowledge, or other societal changes (for "march hematuria", for example, the replacement of marching with the use of better transportation methods in wartime) and there are no recent sources for them. Although MEDRS does not explicitly allow use of older references in this case, it hints at the necessity for them by saying that "History sections often cite older work". 192.118.27.253 (talk) 11:57, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- there seem to be references here"Mechanical hemolytic anemia - PubMed - NCBI". www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Retrieved 13 February 2019. and here"Mechanical hemolytic anemia - Google Search". www.google.com. Retrieved 13 February 2019.--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:50, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help for finding better references and improving my Wikipedia skills. Based on your edit, I still would like to hear your opinion of why a troll couldn't edit HIV/AIDS in the way I proposed and cite MEDRS as justification. 192.118.27.253 (talk) 06:58, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello Ozzie, thank you for reviewing and improving my articles, but I don't understand, why do you remove the external links? Could you please explain? --Allexkoch (talk) 08:28, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
- external links are permitted however [105] seemed to go somewhat "overboard", and begins to look like WP:PROMO[106]. If you stick to one EL that would be OK--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 11:32, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Cantu syndrome/(wikiproject med)^
There is a graphic showing the inheritance of this condition. This graphic is widely used for other diseases. Yet you consider this inclusion to be disruptive.
Would you care to explain your logic? Virion123 (talk) 14:43, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- you've placed it twice where the infobox is suppose to be[108], Ill move it down and downsize it[109]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:56, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan. I have a suggestion. Change the graphic. Cardiomegaly is not specific for this condition. Put this latter image elsewhere in the page. This would make this page consistent with other genetic diseases with known inheritance. Virion123 (talk) 22:07, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- according to NIH(which uses Orphanet) cardiomegaly is present 80-99%[110]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 22:19, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- I am afraid I don't really see the point of that last remark. It may be a common feature but there are many causes of cardiomegaly. Don't worry I am not going to move things around just because I can. Such things are so trivial its not worth my time bothering with them. Virion123 (talk) 12:13, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
List and thumb|left Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy/(wikiproject med)^
I can see what you are trying to do on Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy with the list, namely having it not clash with the image on the left by manually adding indents with :. But manually positioning them with indents is not the way to do it: it makes life on other screen sizes, especially phones, miserable. There's currently no good solution to formatting lists with images floating on the left, and as something that goes down to the level of how browsers lays out text it's probably best to treat it as a bug we cannot fix now. (And honestly the fix does not work with all folks; I can't see any difference on my screen.)
In other words there is a trade-off between a minor visual itch for someone and seeing some huge empty space on the left for narrow-screen folks. I believe that the downsides of doing the indents outweights the potential benefits, so I removed it. I don't want to get into an revert war over this, so...
PS: great work on the article! --Artoria2e5 🌉 03:44, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- ok I see your point[111]--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:12, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello Ozzie10aaaa,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

CPVT order of sections Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia /(wikiproject med)^
Hi Ozzie
You recently reordered the section in the Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia article with an edit summary of MEDMOS. In my opinion, the sections were better ordered in this particular case with Mechanisms preceding Causes as this gives the reader the context of understanding why calcium cycling is important before a more technical description of the genes which perturb this process. I think that MEDMOS is flexible enough to allow this so I'm going to change it back. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, PeaBrainC (talk) 19:16, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles should always be followed...IMO (however I do see your the principle editor[112])--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 20:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- I quite agree that MEDMOS should be followed (but am loathe to say always about anything!). My reading of MEDMOS is that it does acknowledge that section order may vary depending on the needs of an individual article:
- A disease that is now only of historical significance may benefit from having its History section moved towards the top. Establishing the forms of the disease (Classification) can be an important first section. However, if such classification depends heavily on understanding the cause, pathogenesis or symptoms, then that section may be better moved to later in the article. If a disease is incurable, then the Prognosis section can be moved up, and a section called Management is more appropriate than Treatment.
- But it's small beans in the scale of things I guess. PeaBrainC (talk) 20:58, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

proposed link fix in Eating article/(wikiproject med)^
Hi,
Thanks for the note on my talk page.
I wanted to fix a broken OMIM NIH link in the eating article, similar to fixes I made in various medical articles, but that article isn't editable for me. Maybe you could look at that for me. Details are in the note I left on the eating talk page. If you have a better fix, you might want to apply it to the other pages I changed.

Hello Ozzie10aaaa,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages. Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hi Ozzie10aaaa. I contact you because I published an article called "Scavenger endothelial cell" yesterday and I saw that you reviewed it. So I believe you are an experienced user and I would ask you one question (I am not experienced). In the article I published the same citation is used more than one time. By using "Error check" I found that 5 citations are used more than once. But the reference list at the bottom of the article is not organized such that each reference appear only once there. Is it supposed to be like that? Kjetilhe (talk) 12:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- ok I left an example w/ reference #15[113]...essentially the main reference takes on <ref name="abc">, while each duplicate reference takes on <ref name=abc/>--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:43, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Periods /ebola5
Over the years, I think I've made about 20 edits like this one, with a period at the end of the last sentence in a paragraph. I don't understand the problem, because it looks like Afrikaans sentences end in periods just like English. Art LaPella (talk) 17:45, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry Art, I'll be more mindful of the periods and grammar going forward, thank you, Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
question/ebola5
Firstly, thank you for keeping the Kivu Ebola epidemic numbers up-to-date. Too few people are concerned about this epidemic. You dropped me a note. I wasn't sure if it was telling me "become a medical contributor or hands off the article." I'm not a medical professional, and I don't even have a Wikipedia account. I'm just acutely concerned about the Kivu Ebola epidemic. I noticed a discrepancy between the case number in the source and the one on the page. So, I corrected it. I don't intend to make any other type of changes.
I do have a question for you if you are a doctor who has been following this epidemic. Regarding the Merck ebola vaccine, the current number of available doses appears to be inflated based on the idea that the filled vaccine bottles can be diluted and given to multiple patients. That's a finished biopharmaceutical product for injection. Is this type of dilution something doctors do like ever? I was only in Quality Assurance for two years at Chiron Corporation (later bought by Novartis), but I cringed inside even with my very limited experience. The clean room used to fill biopharmaceuticals for injection have like 100 to 1,000 particles per cubic meter of air in there. If any bacteria are discovered in the cleanest part of the clean room during filling, that lot gets rejected. How could these doses possibly be diluted safely? 98.220.227.229 (talk) 20:33, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- no Im not a clinician, however I did publish ...Anis, O; et al. (2019). "Western African Ebola virus epidemic". WikiJournal of Medicine. 6 (1). doi:10.15347/wjm/2019.002. Retrieved 11 May 2019.

On 9 September 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hepatitis E, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that China is the only country in the world to have a licensed vaccine for hepatitis E? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hepatitis E. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hepatitis E), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

License tagging for File:DRC cases south and north kivu , ituri.jpg/(wikiproject med)^
Thanks for uploading File:DRC cases south and north kivu , ituri.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Mark Boguski /(wikiproject med)^
Note that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talk:Mark Boguski has been closed as a malformatted nomination.
You listed the talk page, Talk:Mark Boguski (rather than the article itself) for the AfD. Presumably you meant to AfD the article itself but you did not follow instrucions. Talk pages should be listed for WP:MFD (not WP:AFD), assuming you somehow do want the talk page itself deleted while the article retained. Also, when a page is listed for AfD or MfD, the appropriate tag needs to be placed at the page itself, with a link to the relevant deletion discussion. If you still want the article deleted, create a new AfD nomination, this time for the article itself, following the WP:AfD instructions. Note that if an article is listed for an AfD, the PROD tag should be removed. Also, please see my comments regarding the subject's notability at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talk:Mark Boguski. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 15:08, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
- Nsk92 that I may have malformed the deletion request is obvious, very similar to the 'obviousness' of the 'paid editing' which has led to an article that is a promotional article, thank you (BTW I had adjusted the edit to read written in a promotional manned[114])--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:04, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Ozzie10aaaa,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs. Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools. Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done. DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log. Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

NPR Newsletter No.21

Hello Ozzie10aaaa, This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 807 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion. To opt-out of future mailings, you can remove yourself here |

Hi Ozzie,
I'm a new editor on wikipedia, so would appreciate your help in understanding the notice on the above article, and what I can do to improve it. The only words that are mine are in the introduction; the rest are a series of quotations, so I am not sure how to address this. While undertaking the research, I was not able to find any systematic reviews (SR) or meta-studies (MS) that did not raise serious issues, hence presenting them as contrary. Perhaps you or others may know of SR's and MS's that present more positive views? Is this matter worth discussing on the article's talk page? Thanks, Carlduff (talk) 12:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Your deletions and additions in the article on Nand Peeters/(wikiproject med)^
Dear Ozzie10aaaa,
On August 19, 2019, you trimmed the article on Nand Peeters (which I started) quite drastically, by over 6500 bytes. I assume good faith on your part, i.e., I assume you had reason to do so. But please assume good faith on my part, too, i.e., assume that I had reason to deem that information sufficiently relevant to insert it, and that it is correct.
As the author of the text you deleted, I would like to know your reason for deleting it. You do not justify your deletions; you merely indicate that you deleted information that I still think is relevant. Would you please be so kind as to explain you reason(s)?
I also noticed you inserted four “citation needed”-tags. I don’t see the reason of the third, for you inserted that at the end of a sentence in the middle of which there is a footnote giving the two sources of the stories the sentence is about. The other three come at the end of paragraphs which contain bits of information of various kinds, all culled from Van den Broeck 2014. I intend to put Van den Broeck 2014 first in the list of sources, and follow it by something like: “The main source; unless otherwise indicated, all information in this article derives from it.” That is far more informative than simply to replace these three “citation needed”-tags by references to certain pages in Van den Broeck 2014, which would account only for the information in the last sentences of the three paragraphs followed by these “citation needed”-tags.
I look forward to your reaction. Polla ta deina (talk) 20:19, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- in terms of the 'citation needed' tagsHelp:Referencing_for_beginners Generally references are added directly after the information they support, at the end of the sentence and after any punctuation. , secondly as for the deletions please see Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles(please see above post from another editor, similar issues/and answer...not in mainspace anymore), thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 21:30, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Dear Ozzie10aaaa,
- In Help:Referencing_for_beginners I find the answer to my problem about your third "reference needed"-tag, but not about my problem with the other three.
- The only section in Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles that could conceivably have anything to do with which information is relevant in Wikipedia is "Stay on topic", but that is not helpful in my case, since all the texts you deleted in Nand Peeters were unambiguously about Nand Peeters. I could not make head or tail of your text between brackets, for three reasons. One, you used the noun phrase another editor, which, being indefinite, is a reference to an indefinite entity. Two, if it is no longer in mainspace, where is it now? I don't know, so I cannot consult it. Three, what is the meaning of the compound mainspace? I have never seen it. The absence of an article in front of it makes it a proper noun or a mass noun, but that knowledge does not help me.
- I am afraid I must tell you that, with the one exception of your third "reference needed"-tag, my questions remain unanswered. Polla ta deina (talk) 17:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- MAINSPACE...in any event, should you insist on Nand Peeters please revert those edits where your opinion may be different(in the future please post at article /talk[117]),thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 18:52, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Thrombocytopenia/{wikiproject med)^
Hi there! I've seen the cn tag in Thrombocytopenia. What that sentence says is pretty much the definition of thrombocytosis (also known as thrombocythemia) which is the opposite of thrombocytopenia. What sort of source do you reckon would best support that point? Do we still need a source if something is true by definition and we have an article about it? Sorry if the question is a bit basic, I'm relatively new. Thanks! Dr. Vogel (talk) 21:14, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ozzie10aaaa,
You deleted the Family section on Alexander Gillies with no accompanying explanation.
I wasn't aware that this contravened any Wikipedia guidelines and would appreciate learning your reasons for doing this.

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult. Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well. Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year. Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.
(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag. |

Fixing tables Immunotherapy/{wikiproject med)^
Hi Ozzie,
When you come across a malformatted table, like this, it's a good idea to check the page history. Very often the problem will have been introduced in a recent edit, often the last edit to the page (eg). That means you can easily fix the problem by reversion. That way you also repair any other damage that might have been done in the same edit.
Cheers and merry Christmas, Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 22:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

| Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh" |

Second request (or more) to use edit summaries
Ozzie, the link I gave you before indicated how you can set your preferences to avoid leaving no edit summary. When you edit without edit summaries, that creates a burden on other editors, who then have to click on each edit to see what was done. Please use edit summaries when editing in the main space. If you would just say in edit summary, add synonym to infobox, other editors (like myself) don't have to check what a trusted editor is doing. If you would indicate add case control study, I would know I do need to check it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:18, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
