A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cholesterol Depletion is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

File permission problem with File:Ravschwab1.png

Thanks for uploading File:Ravschwab1.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T/C) 21:26, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Goodness, this process is getting more stringent by the minute! I have temporarily tagged the image as "fair use", but I have forwarded the email to the permissions address. I doubt you will read this message, because when it comes to image permissions, WP:DTTR somehow doesn't apply. JFW | T@lk 22:57, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inflammation advice

Hi there JFW, I noticed some edits to ALS and RLS that seemed odd. The user [1] has a website [2] that suggests inflammation is the cause of RLS as well as a legion of other disorders, and is promoting a diet / CAM intervention to "cure" these conditions. I suspect the edits are an attempt to mould public perception to suit his worldview and as such have been reverting his edits. However given my biases I may be being overzealous and would appreciate another set of eyes on this. If you are in agreement please do let other members of WP:MED know as I am only checking in on WP seldomly these days. Best wishes, --PaulWicks (talk) 12:25, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very dodgy stuff. There are WP:MEDRS, WP:SYNTH and WP:COI-related problems. I would remove his contributions and challenge him on the basis of these guidelines. JFW | T@lk 23:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

JFW, the book I refer to on the Restless Legs page is self published. Actually, all of the information from it is online. The book is not even for sale anymore, I took all of the information from the book and put it online for free. If you look closely at the website you'll see I'm not selling anything. There are no books for sale and there are no products I'm pushing. In fact there are not even any affiliate links or ads. I assure you that there is nothing "dodgy" going on.

All the other information I posted about the connection between inflammation and ADHD, Cancer etc. comes from studies or article that were in legitimate medical journals. I've looked at other Wikipedia pages, and the vast majority of references are of the same nature ... references to studies published in legitimate medical journals. All I'm doing is placing a few lines on the Wiki pages of medical conditions that have a "proven" connection to inflammation.

I believe that you should try the innocent until proven guilty approach. If I'm allowed to continue publishing my blurbs about inflammation, and then some day you find out that I'm pushing a new herbal cure for inflammation, or have written a book, then you have every right to yank my entries. However, there is not one stitch of proof that I have any sort of agenda other than wanting to present some simple scientific facts to people. In doing this, I'm doing what I believe is the right thing. People can either skip over the blurbs about inflammation, or read them, and if interested, they can look deeper into the connection. --Dwimble1 (talk) 02:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your approach to the sources is original to the point that what you write seems to be a synthesis of what you've read, rather than what the sources are actually saying. I suggest you follow my advice and stick to sources that meet the criteria set out in WP:MEDRS. I was not suggesting that you have an agenda, other than promoting your sincerely held personal viewpoints. JFW | T@lk 02:45, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll read it very carefully and will try again.--Dwimble1 (talk) 03:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alprazolam

The same section of "rising concerns about dependence" has been added to Alprazolam (lead), Benzodiazepine(lead), Benzodiazepine dependency by editor 67.173. You have reverted already in Benzodiazpine because too long for the lead and MedRS. I believe it is reliable source, namely manuscript of jounal article, look at PMID. But I also believe it is much too detailed for the lead. Please take a look. (It is extremely difficult to work with this editor because he tends to misrepresent sources. Took about the whole evening to revert his other contributions, however this one seems legitimate.) We need another opinion there. 70.137.153.193 (talk) 13:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
