The "veil of ignorance" page now directs to an entry that nicely obfuscates the concept. Not the previous person who said you were dangerous, but in my consideration you are a passive hindrance to the spread of useful information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.196.115.228 (talk) 23:06, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, there is no way I can address your complaint if you don't get more specific. It is within your power to try to fix whatever you think is the problem. The merge can even be undone if you get enough support for that idea. I'm not the final authority on anything. That's the whole point of wikipedia. WP:BOLD.

"If you think I made a mess it is your responsibility to clean it up!" sorry, if you make a mess you can sit in it. Here is the proof that your contribution is a negative one: It is not enough for you to post your own thoughts. You have to silence others.

I read your user page and people like you are dangerous to knowledge and true learning, from a frustrated simple man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.205.45.234 (talk) 03:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

I'd love to know what I did that upset you. I don't want to be dangerous to knowledge and learning, but I can't learn unless you give me the knowledge of what you are talking about. Cheers. DolyaIskrina (talk) 07:03, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!

Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
• The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
• Please play the "BE BOLD" video to the right - it informs about how to choose high-quality, secondary sources, mainly systematic reviews, to support medical content. You can also review WP:MEDHOW for other tips when editing content concerning human health, nutrition, food, drugs, or diseases.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Zefr (talk) 14:59, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Yoga as exercise articles

Hi, thanks for your edit on Yoga for therapeutic purposes; it has spurred me to find more materials and sources, all to the good. Would you like to take a look at Yoga as exercise? I've worked on it so much it has become hard to see if I've overcooked anything. I've read a great many sources and I hope I've got them fairly balanced but it would be really nice to have another pair of eyes on the subject, specially some experienced in philosophy. There are other subsidiary articles on the Template:Yoga as exercise but as always the parent article is the biggest challenge. Of course if you're up for reviewing any of them at WP:GAN that would be great too. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:53, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap: Thanks for reaching out. I'll respond on the talk page of the article. I'm pressed for time, so it won't be as thoughtful as I'd like. Cheers.DolyaIskrina (talk) 16:57, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dolyalskrina, I wonder if you could have a quick look at Yoga as exercise, and say if you think it is at all WP:POV? I have worked hard to make it neutral as it's a controversial topic. Many thanks for your comments on other yoga and meditation articles, by the way - you're always worth reading. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:28, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap: I just gave it a very cursory look. Very impressive. I found the contrasting image of naked yogis smeared with funeral pyre ash with modern yoga model worth the price of admission alone. I'll give it another read, but my first impression is that it's great. Have women traditionally been accepted in the practice? Gender equality has been a disputed topic in the Hindu community. See: Vanitha Mathil. DolyaIskrina (talk) 22:36, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Many thanks! Very glad to hear it. Women were to a degree grudgingly accepted in medieval Hatha yoga, but there were few famous yoginis until the 20th century, when women in yoga became a distinctive element. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:16, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Minor Edits

Just as a heads up, it's better practice to not mark an edit as minor if it removes or adds content or makes non-cosmetic changes, even if the change is small. WP:Minor explains in more detail. --Spasemunki (talk) 19:21, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Spasemunki:What edit are you talking about?

I think it was just these two [1], [2] --Spasemunki (talk) 20:57, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Spasemunki:

Oh. The first one was the addition of a source, the second was the removal of a quote I had added internally to the source which had been turned into a large, and therefore erroneous, quote by a bot. again this was not a quote in the article, but in the citation which I had added. Neither changed the article at all. Sometimes your watchlist page will only show the last of several recent edits to the same page, so if a minor edit is made after a non-minor one it will appear like both were done under an m. Perhaps that is why you got this impression. Given that all of my edits were made while I had opened up an entire new section of the page's talk section, your concern are a little fine-grained.DolyaIskrina (talk) 21:45, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

They are both marked as minor in the page history. Particularly because quotes that are in citations don't appear in the page, it's good practice not to mark them as minor if you change or remove them. --Spasemunki (talk) 23:30, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anthropic principle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sapient. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
