Information icon Hello, I'm Dan Koehl. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Young blood transfusion— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Dan Koehl (talk) 13:14, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:57, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Hedgehogsrock. I spend time working on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing, which is mostly about health and medicine. I am not an administrator. Your edits to date are promotional with respect to Young Blood Institute. Lots of people come to Wikipedia with some sort of conflict of interest and are not aware of how the editing community defines and manages conflict of interest. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Information icon Hello, Hedgehogsrock. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. Managing conflict of interest well, also protects conflicted editors themselves - please see WP:Wikipedia is in the real world, and Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia for some guidance and stories about people who have brought bad press upon themselves through unmanaged conflict of interest editing.

As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Young Blood Institute, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it, and if you are editing for pay or the expectation of being paid, you must disclose that. After you respond (and you can just reply below), if it is relevant I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 17:59, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Young Blood Transfusions

I see many discrepancies and inaccuracies in this content. I will be correcting it with new content in the next few days. Hedgehogsrock (talk) 18:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please respond to my note above, before you do. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:39, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Young Blood Transfusion

Hi, I work for the doctor mentioned on this page (Dipnarine Maharaj, MB ChB (Glasg.), MD. (Glasg.), FRCP (Edin.), FRCP (Glasg.), FRCPath., FACP), though he is inaccurately referred to as Dipnarine Maharaj. I have no connection to the Young Blood Institute, and neither does Dr Maharaj. My intention is simply to correct the inaccuracies on the page, which is also unbalanced. One of the main inaccuracies is that these transfusions do not use blood, but blood plasma, which is very different. I would like to balance the page by using more clinical study references that show both sides to this subject. I'm not sure how to do this without being in a war! Is there somewhere I can post an updated version for review?

Thank you in advance for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hedgehogsrock (talk • contribs) 15:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC) Jytdog (talk) 22:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I just saw this. Would you please clarify your job? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I work with Dr Maharaj as a Patient Navigator. He is incorrectly described as working for the Young Blood Institute, but actually works for the South Florida Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant Institute - a completely separate entity.

How do I edit this page?

Hi,

I have quite a few sourced edits to add to this page, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Is there anyone who can review what I have done and help with this?

Thanks, --Hedgehogsrock (talk) 17:56, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
