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:
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! Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:25, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed you have reverted my edit on the article about Sucharit Bhakdi. I ask you to please clarify why you did so. In your message, you assert that my edit was wrong, but provide no further evidence. In the talk page, in the section Insubstantial reference for spreading conspiracy theories we had reached the conclusion that the sources referenced did not support the misinformation assertion. I invite you to expose your case on that section, or provide sources to support your claim. Tigre200 (talk) 16:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
this [1] should not be on Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants per MEDMOS--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 00:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
As the nominator of the failed GA application for Vitamin b6, I am working through replying to the bulleted points of the review. Your suggestions and comments (and contributions to the article) are welcome. P.S. I did not bring this up with the GA reviewer, but I have previously raised seven vitamin articles to GA. This was my first time for an outright rejection rather than a 'fix this and that' interaction. David notMD (talk) 10:47, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

I invite you to join WikiProject Medicine's informal, low-key contest about adding citations to articles: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikipedia/WikiProject_Medicine_reference_campaign_2023?enroll=qyoufwds (All you have to do is sign up at that link, and then edit normally. Everything else is automated.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Marcywinograd (talk) 11:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Hi Julius, I received your message addressing my edits to the lead on Robert F. Kennedy Junior's Wikipedia page. The lead as it is written--"Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental lawyer and author known for promoting anti-vaccine propaganda and conspiracy theories.[2][3][4]" lacks neutrality and reads like a hit piece out the gate. Is he only known for this? Is he not known for his environmental litigation? Is he not known as a challenger in the 2024 Democratic Party primary? Who is to be the arbiter of what he is most known for? I do not see a citation to a current poll asking what Kennedy Junior is best known for? In time, he will be known for challenging a sitting Democratic Party president--a fact listed at the end of the whole entry, assigned to irrelevancy. Silly.
-vaccine
on the end halves the number of hits. I see the same pattern for terms like -lawyer
and -environment
. See Wikipedia:Search engine test for some reasons why this approach isn't sufficient, but if it turns out to be representative, then this suggests that we're approximately on the right track. A more reliable test is: Can you name two books about this person that have been published in the last ten years and that don't mention the things you'd like to have buried? WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)To me, someone who knew little about Kennedy Junior until recently, he was best known for running and losing against incumbent Senator Markey, who introduced the Green New Deal legislation.
On another note, where do I scream from the mountaintops about the politically incorrect usage of the term "American," which is also in the lead. Editors should be specific, say US, as American also applies to those from Central and South America. Someone who disagrees might say this is standard practice or consensus practice. Granted, a lot of people also adopt a US exceptionalist attitude about term "American" but that doesn't make it appropriate. Would we use a racially derogatory term that a lot of people use just because they use it??? To use the term "American" is racially insensitive as it suggests those in the Global South do not exist. Best wishes, MarcyMarcywinograd (talk) 11:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, do you think this [2] is a WP:CIVIL reply? Maybe you were in a bad mood and would like to edit it? ((u|Gtoffoletto)) talk 13:49, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
"no one would ever consider him reputable"/"he is so awkward" etc.and against me (
"don't waste our time here"). You have also removed another user's comments in the talk page in an unnecessary aggressive way. I have challenged your removal and replied to that user to try and guide them in editing that page more effectively [3] and you have once more removed that content for no reason at all and making my own comment seem out of context. Why are you creating such a toxic editing environment in a delicate and controversial editing area? @Smartse is an admin so I'll let them decide what to do here. ((u|Gtoffoletto)) talk 10:59, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
I encourage you to use clearer, more neutral edit summaries, per WP:SUMMARYNO. Your last 50 summaries show repeated use of the unclear 'aw' and unhelpful summaries like 'yawn' and 'lol'. What does 'aw' mean? Dialectric (talk) 21:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review the essay Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
According to results of a randomized controlled trial published in Frontiers in Immunology in April, 2024, hospitalized COVID-19 patients who took spirulina had a lower risk of death than those who did not.
Why did you remove this? Did you read the study? 2600:1700:B2C0:5E10:D4BA:B511:43FF:4786 (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
