Guy, to satisfy WP:V and WP:RS with reference to the university a doctor attended back in the 1950s, would painbytes.com be acceptable to cite? Also, if the biographical info of a notable published doctor is included in a 2014 journal by a listed predatory publisher, are we not allowed to cite that source for that info only or are we blacklisting all such journals because of their unethical practices? The doctor was attending the medical university in Budapest nearly 70 years ago when the Hungarian Revolution broke out so it’s probably assumed to be the one and only at the time. A couple of sources refer to him as attending medical school at the university in Budapest but don’t name it, whereas the few I’ve found online do name it. Atsme Talk 📧 13:16, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well JzG. MarnetteD| Talk 04:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC) |
Hi JzG, In this change, back in Sept 2016, you highlighted multiple issues of that page. Since I understood then I had a COI with the topic (I know Juan), I stayed apart from the article, hoping others would work on it. In this time it had multiple minor editions, but I believe no one performed the rewriting work it needed. Thus, 3 years later, I did it, but I would rather not remove maintenance templates because of my past relation with him/potential COI. Could you please double check the page quality now and if deemed appropriate remove the maintenance templates that make sense to remove? I would also appreciate any advice you can give me to tackle the pending issues and improve the overall quality of the article. Thank you. Samer.hc ( talk) 13:30, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

You probably should have been notified about it, but this AN thread is about an action you performed recently. I don't think anything else needs to be said there about the action in question, but I'm letting you know so that you can pursue other appropriate action for the article in question. -- Izno ( talk) 13:56, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Greetings! In August 2018 you moved "Jesus Permuy" to draft due to its poor sourcing. I have been pecking away at it, and I think it is now suitable for mainspace, albeit with room for further improvement. Let me know what you think. Cheers! BD2412 T 23:27, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Would you please take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles/RFC on pharmaceutical drug prices and tell me (on MEDMOS's talk page, or ping me) whether you think that you/other experienced editors are likely to be able to provide some sort of constructive response to the question? If it's seriously screwed up, I want to know ASAP. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 22:55, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, on December 21 I pointed out here (in this archived Talk page) some maintenance templates you had inserted in that article, and that now I attempted to fix. Since I received no reply and the talk page is now archived, I bring it up again, hope it's ok. Please let me know if this is not the appropriate procedure, or if you can point me out to another experienced editor who could handle this issue. Thanks a lot.

At the [ [1]] for Tiff's Treats you endorsed but qualified that you had slight reservations. Could you explain more what your reservations were? It seems like you were saying I super voted but then say I wasn't and so I didn't quite understand what your reservations were. Thanks and best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 05:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Yes we should advise new users how to act, on their talk page yes, but it strikes me as a tad self defeating to clutter up a talk page with lectures about not cluttering up talk pages. We are hardly going to convince users behavior is wrong if we our selves engage in it. Slatersteven ( talk) 10:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Ok I give up. Please see my comments on that talk page. Apparently you guys prefer amateur interpretations of scientific controversies and regurgitations to real references to primary literature. So be it and the last time I will attempt to contribute any serious effort to Wikipedia.
If the policy on synthesis is followed literally, I guess all that Wikipedia can contain is regurgitation of quotes. PeterNSteinmetz ( talk) 22:02, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I had a look at it after you pointed it out. I think these sort of policies will basically ensure that Wikipedia does not receive many contributions from content experts -- frankly we don't have the time to deal with all this.
It would be one thing if the editors bothered to try and help people with significant contributions integrate things into the Wikipedia way. But all that happened here was someone who is not an expert on the subject looked and tried to find one of perhaps several thousand such policies to justify reverting the edits, despite it being acknowledged that there was significant research contributed.
I think it confirms what I used to tell my students - Wikipedia is not a bad place to start to pick up pointers to material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterNSteinmetz ( talk • contribs) 03:39, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello JzG, hope all is well. I saw that you added PC protection on Kaitlin Bennett yesterday. Since then, almost all of the edits have been vandalism. I was just wondering if temporary semi protection would be better in this situation. Thanks! -- LuK3 (Talk) 02:29, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Guy, how can you tell if an AE topic ban is still in force? If the relevant year of the log doesn’t list it as having been lifted, can it be assumed that it’s still active? Brunton ( talk) 16:53, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
