Welcome to Wikipedia from the Wikiproject Medicine!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of content about health here on Wikipedia, pursuing the mission of Wikipedia to provide the public with articles that present accepted knowledge, created and maintained by a community of editors.
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!
First, some basics about editing Wikipedia, which is a strange place behind the scenes; you may find some of the ways we operate to be surprising. Please take your time and understand how this place works. Here are some useful links, which have information to help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Everything starts with the mission - the mission of Wikipedia is to provide the public with articles that summarize accepted knowledge, working in a community of editors. (see WP:NOT)
- We find "accepted knowledge" for biomedical information in sources defined by WP:MEDRS -- we generally use literature reviews published in good journals or statements by major medical or scientific bodies and we generally avoid using research papers, editorials, and popular media as sources for such content. We read MEDRS sources and summarize them, giving the most space and emphasis (what we call WP:WEIGHT) to the most prevalent views found in MEDRS sources.
- Please see WPMED's "how to" guide for editing content about health
- More generally please see The five pillars of Wikipedia and please be aware of the "policies and guidelines" that govern what we do here; these have been generated by the community itself over the last fifteen years, and you will need to learn them (which is not too hard, it just takes some time). Documents about Wikipedia - the "back office" - reside in "Wikipedia space" where document titles are preceded by "Wikipedia:" (often abbreviated "WP:"). WP space is separate from "article space" (also called "mainspace") - the document at WP:CONSENSUS is different from, and serves as a different purpose than, the document at Consensus.
Every article and page in Wikipedia has an associated talk page, and these pages are essential because we editors use them to collaborate and work out disagreements. (This is your Talk page, associated with your user page.) When you use a Talk page, you should sign your name by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment; the Wikipedia software will automatically convert that into links to your Userpage and this page and will add a datestamp. This is how we know who said what. We also "thread" comments in a way that you will learn with time. Please see the Talk Page Guidelines to learn how to use talk pages.
- 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. You can also just add our talk page to your watchlist and join in discussions that interest you. 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!
- 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, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note below if you have any questions or problems. I wish you all the best here in Wikipedia!
7-Hydroxymitragynine
[edit]You keep adding unreliable content to this article, stating it is "published" by the NIH. It isn't; PUBMED is just a search engine which contains a load of stuff. If using PUBMED, you can check that the "Publication type" of any content is "Review", "Systematic review" or "Meta-analysis" to give a quick a rough indication that it is suitable. Please propose any further changes at Talk:7-Hydroxymitragynine - if you continue edt warring you will likely be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 04:45, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Guy (help!) 22:31, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

- During your block, I suggest you read WP:BRD and WP:MEDRS. Please also read WP:Five pillars, referenced above. If you resume edit-warring and refusing to communicate with other editors after this block expires, the next block will be longer or indefinite. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- Dude, you need to calm down. Your edit summaries are spectacularly inappropriate. First up, please don't use ALL CAPITALS, it's considered equivalent to shouting. Second, don't even think about making pseudo legal threats on Wikipedia. Third, you can email all you like, they will just send you right back to the talk page, because that's how Wikipedia works.
- You need to post the text you want to include, on the Talk page. You then need to discuss it calmly and see what other Wikipedians think of it. And you need to assume good faith, because when stuff is removed form Wikipedia it is very rarely because the removing editor is an "INFORMATION TERRORIST", but because the content is not written the way Wikipedia writes content, or not based on the kinds of sources we consider reliable, especially for medical content. As to "WIKI WILL BE LOCKING THE PAGE", that would be done by an admin - someone like me, in fact. And I can tell you with fair confidence: it ain't going to happen. What's more likely is that your'll end up blocked permanently.
- The only reason that hasn't happened already is because some of us think you're actually trying to help. But if you make the same edits again after you block expires, we're likely to take the view that you're not going to accept guidance, and that will be that, I'm afraid.
