If you insist in keeping the talk section, please put in under your own name and delete references to my ip. I rather avoid any issues that may result from the comment posted; so if you want to keep it, post it under your name and eliminate my ip.

I discussed the issue with Guy Macon (see User_talk:Guy_Macon#Blocking). I was wondering whether you could remove the following from the tor talk page:
Since this is your own text, you are allowed to remove it, and once that's done, it is probably safe enough (doesn't stand out anymore) so the rest can be left to stand. If possible, please remove this, and we can end this issue.Thanks in advance. 2A02:A03F:126D:A800:213:20FF:FE3B:A79E ( talk) 14:34, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bluerasberry, this is in reference to my question in regards to Cardio First Angel where you have asked for more references ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:Bluerasberry/Archive_24) I have provided more references, but my question as I have found today still remains unanswered. I may be rather slow, but to my understanding, if one writes about some product and describes its functions and benefits, which are important for the reader to understand what the whole product is about, it is rejected that it sounds like advertisement. If one writes about the product in abstract terms, so it wouldn't sound like advertisement, it is useless, because these specifics are important to understand why the product works the way it does. For example Cardio First Angel the way it is working, eliminates fears and worries prospective layman rescuer who has no knowledge how to do CPR, so he/she can take action and help to save a person who just had a heart attack. There is also a reference in Spiegel online: http://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/diagnose/reanimation-cardio-first-angel-fuer-bessere-wiederbelebung-a-992407.html An independent article which speaks along the same lines. So, I would be very grateful to you, if you can advice me how to sort out this dilemma, that the article about Cardio First Angel would be publishable, with the description of its functions and benefits without sounding as advertisement. Should or could it include any bullet points?
Regards

I hope that you don't mind me asking you here. Feel free to send me to the Teahouse if that's more appropriate. I'd like to have a large introductory research methods class in Human Physiology update a wikipedia article. The article for this topic, Meningococcal_vaccine, is of interest to our campus and seems like a good candidate. I know now that I should set up a course page for the class, and I am a registered user. I'd likely have the students work in smaller groups on sections to improve the article. Does that sound like a reasonable project? If so, would you be willing to be an ambassador or can you suggest someone else who might be able to do that? I'm putting in a talkback template for you, I hope I understood that correctly. -- Eugenezed ( talk) 00:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lane,
After looking at the talk page, someone or something thought this course promoted vandalism and killed it (spelling on comment needed work). Does Christopher Casey know about this? I am disappointed. Nkelika14 ( talk) 07:40, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Lane,
I wonder if you could help me with some advice? What's the best way to add a new page about Authorea ( www.authorea.com), or at least propose it for consideration?
Authorea is an online collaborative writing tool for scientists and academics, similar to e.g. ShareLaTeX. Like figshare, Authorea is a strong proponent of Open Access with a freemium business model, hence I think it might fit into WikiProject Open Access.
Since I work for Authorea (as Community person) I can't add it myself -- it's a conflict of interest. Yet I think Authorea satisfies WP:ORG, as with a little research I've already found quite a few articles on sites like Nature and TechCrunch with in-depth coverage of Authorea and discussions of its role in Open Access.
Any advice on what would be a good first step? Would it be helpful for me to draft an article and post it in my sandbox for feedback?
I'd appreciate your advice! Thanks!

Education Program:Consumer Reports/Wikipedia Volunteer Corps Course (winter 2015) is a special page that I couldn't protect even if I wanted to. There were two IPs, 72.68.239.80 who commented on the talk page. And 216.126.242.98 who made the actual edit but shows as having no edits at all. Twinkle will allow me to protect but the only thing it gives is for recreated articles. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:10, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lane,
I've been tagging talk pages of articles created/edited at Art+Feminism edit-a-thons with a banner, Template:ArtAndFeminism2015 article, but when I came to Education Program:Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics/Conference (spring 2015) I wasn't entirely sure if it was an A+F edit-a-thon or something that happened to fall on the same day (or both). Could you add it to any applicable articles?
Thanks — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:22, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bluerasberry, thanks for reviewing the article. before you i was in touch with Kikichugirl, who guided me to make the article neutral and dry and not too promotional. I made changes accordingly. As per my understanding I have given very authentic references, most of them are from top media publications. Reliability should not be the concern, since each and every reference is from reputed publication like: WSJ, Rediff, Wharton magazine, Indiawest news site etc.
Let me know what more you need to approve the article.
Look forward to hear from you.
Thanks, Manjeet

Hello
Thank you for reviewing my entry.
I have had the entry declined four times now for different reasons, would it be possible for you please to see the last feedback I had and then let me know exactly which references you are not happy with?
The last time my references were picked up, I made the changes suggested and it has since been reviewed without the references being mentioned.
Thank you for your time

Hi Bluerasberry, Cute hamster. Thank you for your thoughtful input on my submission for a page called bioelectronic medicine. I have since studied both the notability section and the 'writing better articles' guidelines in an effort to improve my submission and get it posted. I will work through Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine to attempt to make the necessary changes, but I wanted to thank you personally for your suggestions and help.

Hi Bluerasberry,
You approved my page for Stephen Macknik, and allowed me to include some essential information on "Popular Science Writing". His collaborator, Susana Martinez-Conde (see: /info/en/?search=Susana_Martinez-Conde ) did not have such luck, and her section on "Popular Science Writing" was deleted. I was wondering how we could make the pages synchronize a bit more, as they are married collaborators who work on many of the same projects.
Thanks!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Amos Yee is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amos Yee until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. nonsense ferret 14:27, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi - question - what is the difference between a hyperlink and a reference? For instance in the wiki page I'm editing for CONRAD, can I just hyperlink words to articles (that do not have copyright issues) or to relevant pages on different websites? If I hyperlink, do I also have to provide footnotes? MPTandHIV ( talk) 17:04, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
