Welcome

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Neal D. Barnard does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Help me!

{{help me}}

Please help me with an editor who lacks a neutral POV and who is guarding changes made to pages Neal D. Barnard and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and making unsolicited entries on my personal Talk page.

  1. The messages are approved, standard Wikipedia messages. There are many of them for all types of situations.
  2. If you cannot agree with an editor, you may follow Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution processes.
Do note that any medical subjects need vastly superior references - see WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDRS/FAQ Ronhjones  (Talk) 20:27, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

COI

[edit]

Your edits concentrate closely on Neal D. Barnard. Please be aware of WP:COI. Do you have such a COI on this topic? Alexbrn (talk) 18:29, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexbrn: Thanks. Would you recommend making suggestions on the Talk page? I don't want to be a burden to other editors, but I felt these changes were appropriate and have been trying to be diligent with secondary sources. The only further changes I'd like to make are to complete the Bibliography section. PaperHydrate (talk) 18:43, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It would be good to know the nature of the COI. If it is WP:PAID you must make a declaration on your user page to avoid breaching this site's terms of use. Both the Barnard article and the PCRM article strike me as rather promotional and fringey and I think it may be necessary to get more editors scrutinizing them. Alexbrn (talk) 18:50, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Still awaiting clarity on this. Alexbrn (talk) 16:10, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexbrn: I think I figured out how! Wish I had a degree in Wikipedia, kind of. Thank you for your help!
Goodo. For clarity, please could you tell me whether you previously edited these article as an anonymous (IP address) editor? Alexbrn (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User_talk:PaperHydrate. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. I am specifically referring to this and this edit summary. Toddst1 (talk) 19:54, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddst1:Thank you for the tip. I have undone the reverts of good-faith edits and apologized to the user.PaperHydrate (talk) 20:18, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
