Mind taking a look at Anselm Adodo

I stumbled across this during NPP. There's certainly nothing at all notable about him as a cleric, but I'd rather have someone who knows something about the alternative medicine stuff look at it also. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:29, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm on it, thanks. Jytdog (talk) 04:45, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

No problem. I noticed the COI after I realized he was some monk who seems to be running a business (which is bizarre in itself.) TonyBallioni (talk) 04:47, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

The person hasn't logged in since creating all this stuff. Will wait a few more days and then will start cleaning it up.... Jytdog (talk) 04:01, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Just replying to keep this from getting archived. Started looking at these articles today finally! Jytdog (talk) 05:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

COI

Is there a best place to notify of undisclosed/potential COI editors? The IP user 75.99.119.254 has only been making edits related to Colavita, and very promo ones at that. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 20:07, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

COIN is the best place. I'll have a look though. Thanks for watching out! Jytdog (talk) 21:25, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

What ever happened to the Vipul/EA situation?

Sorry for bothering you out of the blue. I was lurking the whole fiasco EA/transhumanist/Vipul fiasco for a while, but stopped following it. I remember you wanted to start an RfC; did that ever happen? GojiBarry (talk) 00:49, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

No problem. Vipul announced during the ANI that he was disbanding the project; he said he wanted to restart it but I have heard nothing. There was a burst of cleanup of refs and articles but that has slowed and is more sporadic (there is still a lot to do). The community didn't end up taking large scale action.

Speedy deletion nomination of Antrochoanal polyps

A tag has been placed on Antrochoanal polyps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Advice needed on Olanzapine edit

Hi Jytdog, I am performing a cochrane update on Olanzapine, and I am having trouble deciding if I should change the current text in the article.

What information do you think is important to relay from this 2005 review?

It presently states, "A Cochrane review found, however, that the usefulness of olanzapine maintenance therapy is difficult to determine as more than half of people in trials quit before the six-week completion date."

Thanks for your time!

JenOttawa (talk) 23:50, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

I would say it is time to get rid of that ref, which fails WP:MEDDATE, and update the content with a more recent review!  :) Jytdog (talk) 23:58, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

OK. A good challenge for me. What do you think of this? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23810019 Thanks for your feedback. JenOttawa (talk) 01:43, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Sure! PMID 28219485 seems important as does PMID 26801655 and PMID 27866695. Jytdog (talk) 01:55, 11 June 2017 (UTC) (oh, magic links I will soon not be able to use you Jytdog (talk) 01:55, 11 June 2017 (UTC))

Yes, thanks. I will check these out as well. How important is impact factor when choosing an appropriate systematic review for Wikipedia? I chose a review with the highest impact factor that was reviewing at what I was looking for. JenOttawa (talk) 02:12, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

The Lancet ref is just already 4 years old so is on the edge of meddate already... but a big improvement over the 2005 review! An improvement is an improvement. About sources, it is always a balance. Not going too low, not missing important more recent conclusions. Ideally the time you invest in this will be useful for as long as possible... that is the only reason i suggested looking at the more recent ones. Jytdog (talk) 02:21, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

This makes sense. I will try to use a couple of references. Thanks again! Have a nice rest of your weekend. JenOttawa (talk) 02:25, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

I finally gave this a try. The "comparisons" section is a quite bogged down with information. I only have the time today to add in the more recent references and did a small amount of cleaning up. I took out the 2005 cochrane review, but added in a 2010 review from Cochrane. Definitely not perfect, but hopefully, as you mentioned, an improvement. I did not use one of the reviews you suggested,PMID 27866695, on the formulation (oral vs long-acting injectable). Evidence looks weak for olanzapine so I left it out for now. Please feel free to change my edits as you see fit. Thanks again for the advice, JenOttawa (talk) 20:00, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks so much!! Looks great. Jytdog (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Edit warning

Your recent editing history at Archaeogenetics of the Near East shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tritomex (talk • contribs) 22:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Theranostics

Hi, Why have you merged theranostics into personalized medicine? Theranostics is an independent concept and is enough eligible to have an independent article.--Sahehco (talk) 13:36, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

A perhaps more interesting question is why

1. you moved the old theranostics article to Theranostical medicine (?), and then
2. recreated the Theranostics article from scratch, obliterating the history of the old article
3. focused the article solely on medical imaging agents that could also be used as therapeutics, which is half the concept.

Why did you do that?

But this should all be happening at the talk page of Personalized medicine. Is it OK with you if I copy this there? Jytdog (talk) 13:58, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Edit war warning (Brain Gym)

The ref I added is not from that list. it's a an important part of a larger academic report. If you have issues with it, please discuss it on the talk page. But don't edit war and be careful of removing reliable sources without explanation. Otherwise it could be treated as WP:Vandalism--Taeyebar 23:32, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

dangerous path to walk. I am aware that it is not there. This is the 2nd or 3rd time you have tried to add it and there is already a huge pile there, mostly created by you. Jytdog (talk) 00:55, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

WARNING. Please stop warring at Blohm + Voss and discuss your edits on the article talk page. If you persist, sanctions may be taken. Cheers, 18:58, 18 June 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.96.57.201 (talk)

(talk page gnome) Note: copied from here. @188.96.57.201: per WP:BRD, you should discuss it on the article's talk page instead of restoring your edits. A single revert is not edit warring (see WP:3RR). Also, Wikipedia is not for WP:PROMOTION. If you have a conflict of interest in relation to your work on Wikipedia, you should also disclose it (see WP:COI) and if so, you should only suggest changes on the article's talk page rather than editing the article yourself.

CIA

Hi Jytdog. I added the NYT topic as many articles I've seen do (it's sorta rare for NYT to even keep a topic on many schools), and I don't think it qualifies as ELNO 9 as it's not a search results page. It's a selected list of articles related to the topic, further reading if you will. I think it meets WP:ELYES #3. As for the Food Business School link, sure it looks like spam, as the CIA seems to have a larger marketing department than it does academics sometimes, but the FBS is the CIA for its graduate programs. Sorta considered a somewhat separate entity, but owned/operated by CIA. I'm gonna add more about it in the article, but the link definitely is relevant. Thanks, ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 14:48, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Happy to discuss content on article pages but WP:ELNO #9 is clear here. And again per WP:ELNO companies get one link to their own websites. Proliferating entities does not mean more real estate for spam links. If you would like to discuss further please bring it up there so it becomes part of the page history and others watching can participate. Thx Jytdog (talk) 14:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Will do, just want to say that the CIA is a college - a nonprofit academic institution, not usually considered a company. Also, ELNO says usually stick with one, and ELNO also is a guideline. That's a lot of maybes there. If it's helpful to the reader, and is as official/relevant of a link... And it's not spam. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 14:55, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Academic institutions and their alum are some of the most virulent abusers of Wikipedia for promotion -- we even have an essay just for them, WP:BOOSTER. I deal all the time with admin staff who were instructed to buff up an article, and with academic PR people. They also pay freelancers and PR agencies to come to Wikipedia to promote them. They are not "good guys" when it comes to articles about themselves or their faculty, -- Jytdog (talk) 14:56, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Haha, I'm actually trying to include as much criticism as possible to balance out all the PR nonsense the school spits out. Within reason, of course, with neutrality as the top goal. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 15:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

EC - and yeah very familiar with your good anti-COI work. The CIA articles have been continuously edited by one admin just like you described. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 15:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for working to improve it! Jytdog (talk) 15:05, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

What is your opinion on this subject?

Regarding your revert of my removal of the word "leading".[1] It is my opinion that I should repeat this removal, for the following reasons: 1. The Rfc did not sanction the specific words of the text, as specific in both the proposal and the closing specifically. 2. There is a major pillar of Wikipedai policy that states that unsourced information can be removed when challenged, and such is the precise case here. 3. Please also note that my main opponent so far, Dailycare, expressed that he has no problem with the removal I made.[2] Would you agree with me on this, or if you disagree, could you please explain why?

yeah that can stand. self-reverted. Jytdog (talk) 16:31, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Christianity and violence

Jenhawk777 tried an edit for the initial intro--only this time--of Christianity and Violence. I am not confident at all that these additions will all be agreed upon but all the advice says, "Be Bold!" so I went ahead and put them all in! Please go ahead and argue with me about them! It is an effort to make this article seem to lean a little less in one direction. I've decided after reading it a couple of times that it is the adjectives in the descriptions that are negative that make it read that way in addition to not including enough alternate views. I was wondering about removing some of those??? Anyway--tell me what you think--surely we can work this out together. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:36, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. The place to discuss is at the article talk page. Thx Jytdog (talk) 18:39, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for responding! I appreciate any and all help! I don't understand the comment that this appears to be a collection of my thoughts though. None of this is original material. It is all referenced. I take it you are the original author of Christianity and Violence? You don't seem to like any of my edits, but if you could help me understand why or what it is you don't like, perhaps we could fix this together. The article does not seem balanced or neutral to me, and clearly to others who tagged it that way long before I came along, so my goal is not to erase anything you have said but to balance it a little bit more. You are welcome to make changes to what I have added, but please explain them if you would. Thank you again! I will keep trying to honor what you have written while accomplishing the goal--if you will not give up on me! Thank you! Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:01, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

I copied your remark to your talk page - please reply there. thx Jytdog (talk) 21:32, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Would You Mind Taking a Look at COI Editing?

Would you mind taking a look at COI editing at Mandy Harvey and Reinsurance Group of America? (The e-mail domain for the latter is "rgare" per its website, and the Wikipedia username is rgareweb.) I just don't have the stomach to participate in COI policing, and I have personal and / or professional affiliations with both of these topics, so I'd just rather recuse myself. I'm sorry to be adding more work to your plate, but I appreciate your help. Kekki1978 (talk) 04:12, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Back to lurking for me

I am sorry if i stepped in inapropriately at ANI, just seen it by chance while looking over the rediculous drama on the boards (yes i find some of it weirdly entertaining, like a soap opera i guess haha). Anyway, hope i was not out of line. But now that that is closed there is no point to dwell on it for me. So i will go back to watching instead of editing. But i have to say, i do find the aproach of certain people, and by that i really do mean a sizeable group of people in many different areas, rather problematic to put it mildly, very mildly even. Ah whatever, no need for me to ramble on here, just wanted to say sorry for just getting involved in something that had nothing to do with me. Just felt the need to say something, for better or for worse. Have a good day anyway. 91.49.78.64 (talk) 14:46, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

In regards to this edit of yours, I'd ask that if you have issues with Barbara, please discuss it with me.

Head & Shoulders edits

Hi Jytdog, why is the detail on Head & Shoulders celebrities considered Trivia when other brands are doing exactly the same thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nike_sponsorships) is it the way it is structured? less than 5% of these celebrity or team endorsements are cited.

Coinbase

I added some criticisms of Coinbase yesterday, which you have removed. I am in no way a wikipedia expert who spends all day on here, I just effectively want to warn people of how poor coinbase is after my own personal experience and also the experience of pretty much everyone I have ever met, within the crypto community. I don't know what you would consider "reliable sourcing" in terms of references etc but I think wikipedia should give a fair and accurate representation of the company and to have absolutely no criticism of coinbase at the moment is entirely inaccurate. They are completely failing in their role as an exchange and have literally no customer support. The site IS constantly down whenever there is a big market swing. Those are absolute facts. I will happily look for more articles and link to multiple articles about it if that's what you think is appropriate but as I say, I really think it is fair to have criticism of the company for their complete failure to function as intended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeynesey (talk • contribs) 13:48, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia is driven by reliable sources and what they say -- not by the passions of editors and how they feel. Please see WP:RS and WP:NPOV. So if there are reliable sources that discuss this such that it can be given reasonable "weight" in the argument, that is great. If all there is are comments on discussion boards, that is not enough. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:34, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Synthetic rubber

Hi

You reverted my addition about the synthetic rubber (Buna) plant at Oswiecim. This is a very well known and documented story. Perhaps you were not aware that Oswiecim is simply the original Polish name for the town the Germans called Auschwitz. At Auschwitz were three camps; Auschwitz I (the original concentration camp), Auschwitz II (also called Auschwitz-Birkenau, an extermination camp) and Auschwitz III (also called Monowitz, and a forced labor camp). It is this third camp which supplied the labor to the IG Farben synthetic rubber plant and other plants associated with the camp. In fact, the camp was created purely for the purpose of supplying labor. If you read the first para of the WP entry for Auschwitz III you will see this explained. Or there are several excellent books on the subject, such as that by Andreas Kilian. Thanks. PointOfPresence (talk) 17:54, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for wanting to improve the article. If it is well documented you will not have trouble providing a source. Jytdog (talk) 18:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Did you take a look at the WP article about Monowitz? Would you like me to use that as the source? I'm not trying to be difficult here, but you say I should not revert edits without discussing on a talk page. Fair enough, but you reverted my edit without discussing it with me first. I am not sure I understand why that's different. PointOfPresence (talk) 18:37, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Don't make this about ego or "firsties". This is not a blog where you can write whatever you like; if content is challenged and you want to restore it, you need to provide the source. Please read WP:BURDEN. This is basic scholarship as well as basic "carry your own weight" - it is the definition of WP:TENDENTIOUS to demand that others provide refs for content you want to add. Jytdog (talk) 18:40, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, sorry. Really not trying to be difficult. Just wanting to clarify. But I shall add the relevant reference. (btw, I wasn't expecting you to provide the reference, but I can see why you might have thought that). All good. Cheers.PointOfPresence (talk) 18:43, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for tidying up my refs. I posted the wrong link by accident. This is the link I intended to use http://www.wollheim-memorial.de/en/kz_bunamonowitz_en (which does refer to the Buna plant) But maybe we have enough sources now.PointOfPresence (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

"Unsourced" Edit on Abraham

This is well known Biblical cannon. Abraham gave birth to Isaac, which gave birth to Jacob, who was renamed Israel. Jacob/Israel gave birth to 12 sons and one daughter, the fourth son's name was Judah. Taking a look at The Online Jewish Encyclopedia (http://www.jewfaq.org/origins.htm): "[...] technically, it is incorrect to refer to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as Jews, because the terms "Jew" and "Judaism" were not used generally to refer to this nation until hundreds of years after their time [...]" 68.225.237.140 (talk) 01:35, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

happy to discuss at the article talk page, if you want to post there. but this you tried to say a lot in a little space, and entwined the indeed well-known family tree with notions of covenant in ways that were probably... too condensed, and not supported by the source at the end of that bit of content. Jytdog (talk) 17:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Right, I do realize the wording was not ideal, however I think this is an important point to make. Reason being, this is a very common misconception about Abraham, the Abrahamic Covenant, and the relation of the Jews to God. The common misconception is that somehow Abraham was Jewish and I was attempting to make clear that this is not the case, the current wording implies that the the Abrahamic covenant was for the Jews, which it was not, it was for Abraham's descendants, of which some are the Judeans. I'd be happy to move this to the talk page for the article: How about this, if you could draft up a re-write of that particular section that makes the clarification I'm seeking to establish in a way that you find acceptable, at that point I'll either accept your revision and we'll have it pushed to the page or I'll submit my changes to your re-write.

Please ask for sources, rather than reverting content

Hi. When you notice new content that is not properly sourced, you can ask the author to source it, rather than simply reverting it. When you ask for sources, you allow other people to contribute and improve the content. Simsong (talk) 01:46, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Please never add unsourced content to Wikipedia, especially when it involves living people, as you did here. Jytdog (talk) 02:03, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Workforce

Since you have improved that section, I just wanted to let you know that it also was added to Answers in Genesis, in case you'd want to also edit it... Thanks, —PaleoNeonate - 05:28, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk page and sourcing

Hi, Jytdog! I have noticed the talk page from solvation shell and the sourcing discussion there. Is there any problem if I insert some citation for that content from NON-ENG sources? (Romanian and/or Russian souces). Thanks.--82.79.115.107 (talk) 11:59, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Elyonim veTachtonim

Hello! And thanks for reacting to the changes I made. I know about the rule of not linking to blogs, forums and the like. Yet, though hosted on a blogspot platform, EvT is an academic project and contains some valuable research and tools for those interested in the subject of Jewish angelology and demonology. I am not sure whether the author of EvT is a "recognized authority", but he is far from being anonymous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aetgar (talk • contribs) 06:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Peder Holk Nielsen

Hi Jytdog, Mihai - social media at Novozymes here. I know you have been a strong contributor to the Novozymes wikipedia page in the past and I wanted to know if you would be interested in contributing to the CEO page for Peder Holk Nielsen. We have a strong list of external references that could help in building it. Mihainovo (talk) 10:09, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Anneliese Dodds

Hi Jytog, i see you removed the updated information i added on Anneliese Dodds for being un-sourced. If you clicked on the link(s) that were added you will see they lead you to the election pages where the results from those elections are displayed. Her name for instance in the 2010 election is quite clear on the Reading East (UK Parliament constituency) page. Are you suggesting that i use the linked page as a reference? cheers Dexcel (talk) 16:00, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources per WP:USERGENERATED and WP:CIRCULAR. You need to provide a reliable source per the WP:RS guideline, especially for content about living people, per the WP:BLP policy. Jytdog (talk) 16:10, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Charlie Gard's article deletion

Hi Jytdog,

I would like to know why you consider CRYSTALBALL hype the section about nucleoside therapy referencing papers published in high-impact, peer-reviewed international journals such as EMBO Medicine, and led by scientists at Columbia University and other top scientific institutions.

Since this is a subject of high interest in relation to this case and the scientific aspects of it, it deserves an encyclopedia article with reliable information. All the scientific references I added come from PubMed, with just one reference to a Washington Post article about Arturito Estopinan, which is the first known human patient.

Which are your credentials to censor peer-reviewed scientific informations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DoctorBiochemistry (talk • contribs) 9 July 2017 (UTC)

I am happy to discuss content on the relevant talk page; if you post about the content there, I will answer there.

Your question about "credentials" is not appropriate in Wikipedia (please read WP:EXPERT). Competence however is required - that means understanding the subject matter, how literature is structured, how Wikipedia works, and the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia - see WP:CIR. Your use of the term "censored" is also not appropriate - see WP:NOTCENSORED for that means here.

Please remember to sign your posts. Jytdog (talk) 20:45, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Version pro ante

@Jytdog:

That was the version pro ante, and the article should stay that way until consensus. Please don't mistake it for edit warring.Saronsacl (talk) 01:28, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

You have edit warred again, against a version clearly supported by 3 other people, and I expect you to get a longer block this time. You need to learn how to discuss instead of forcing things. Jytdog (talk) 01:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

CRYSTALBALL!

Hi Jytdog! Long time!

Wow... I read that you're not paid for your work?!! Unbelievable. I'm really indebted to you for your expertise and TIME.... You were the one who helped me get a grip here more than anyone else.

I got what you were saying on the CBD page about not posting "promising" medical info. What really caught my eye in the 2017 Campos review was, "...clear indications that CBD induces plastic changes similar to clinical antidepressant or atypical antipsychotic drugs, either acutely or repeatedly administered." I've always wondered: what do pharma meds actually do in the brain? Answer (I think): support brain plasticity.

When my son was on 650mg. CBD a day, he said, "My memory is coming back." THAT was a bullseye for me, and this review clarified that action for me. Was the whole Campos et al. review too CRYSTALBALL, or was it my writing, "While the mechanisms are still not well understood..."?

Thank you again - and thank you for your approach, dedication and tireless expertise donated to this site. Amazing.
