This conversation took place before,and it was decided that Frank L. Hoffman is significant historically because of his role in the vegetarian and animal advocacy movement, which is considered a project by some Wikipedians. MaynardClark (talk)

Second WIKISOO class starts soon!

Hi! Just a quick reminder that the second WIKISOO class starts in about 3 hours. Even if you missed Week 1, please join us at this link for the live webinar - ideally about 15 minutes early to test your mic/speakers. If you haven’t finished up your Week 1 homework, there’s still time; post any questions on the class talk page! You can also watch a video of last week’s class on YouTube (earlier audio problems have been corrected). Feel free to contact me on my talk page with questions anytime! - WIKISOO co-instructor Sara FB (talk) 22:00, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Greetings

Hi Maynard from your fellow Wikisoo-er Netherzone (talk) 01:25, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Service awards

Hi Maynard, in class last night you asked about displaying multiple userboxes and service awards on your user page. I'm not certain how you want it to look, but I'd note one thing -- I think most people only display one service award, reflecting the highest number of edits that apply. So you might want to remove the "Journeyman" award now that you have attained the "Yeoman" level. There's no problem with displaying both, of course, if that's what you prefer -- but maybe a simpler look is what you're after? If this doesn't address your question, let me know! -Pete (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

WIKISOO Week 3

We look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. We look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. Here's the link to our Week 3 class page and to the live webinar.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're not in the USA, please double-check the class time. We have gone on Daylight Savings Time (also known as Summer Time) in the USA, so for some of you the class time will be an hour earlier. (If your country goes on Summer Time in the coming weeks, you will want to check again!)

This week we are going to start off with some basic review of all we've covered. So if you've been feeling behind or confused by all the details, we'll make sure we've got your questions answered before forging ahead! See you soon, -Pete (talk) 16:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

@Pete @Pete

WIKISOO check-in

How's it going, MaynardClark? Just touching base as we start the fifth (!) week of the WIKISOO course. We're excited to see students working on such a diverse range of articles! If you haven't already, log in, scroll down to the bottom of the main course page to list your chosen final project article next to your own name; brag a little about your work (or just ask questions!) on the course talk page; and join the live lecture tomorrow as we move towards completion of the course! This is when things get exciting. :) Looking forward to seeing you in class! - Sara FB (talk) 23:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Can't I list more than one? It only allows me to include one.

@MaynardClark, work on as many as you like! I believe you can add as many articles as you like - are you certain? Have another look. - Sara FB (talk) 02:22, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Fruitarianism

Hi. I see that you spotted the problem with linking to Rynn Berry within the reference template. I have reinstated the link using the first and last name and authorlink parameters - this now links to the author's Wikipedia page outside the URL title link. I have also added a dead link template - it seems that the site is no longer active and the back issues do not go back to 2003. It may be that an archive link exists somewhere, so the reference should remain in place. Regards,  GILO   A&E⇑ 21:21, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. Rynn Berry considered himself a fruitarian and had a book ready to go to press, we think - or it's in press (to be published posthumously), on a history of rawfoodism. MaynardClark (talk) 21:24, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Maynard, the usual practice at Wikipedia is Bold, revert discuss. That is, if you make an edit that someone reverts, you head for the talk page rather than continuing to revert. I've left a note on the talk page, and I'd appreciate it if you would revert yourself and start discussing instead. I'd also be grateful if you would fix the signature in my earlier post that you inadvertently changed here. Many thanks, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:30, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my signature, but you changed another one my posts here. It might help if you were to take a look at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks again, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 04:24, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

No, I split the two sentences, which are different thoughts, which I answered separately. MaynardClark (talk) 04:40, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Hello, MaynardClark. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Rynn Berry, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site.

The events are as follows: May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library, in the Digital Scholarship Lab June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA), where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.

Speedy deletion nomination of Designated Member Review

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Designated Member Review requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ~Frosty (Talk page) 04:36, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Noting that you are right that that Tagus no longer appropriate; this is just a technical matter. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 04:46, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 05:06, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello from a fellow health fan!

Hello, my name is Lane. I edit health articles with Wikiproject Medicine and I live in NYC. I saw what you are doing with Designated Member Review, and I am happy for your interest in clinical research. I also edit articles related to clinical research.

It so happens that I have a colleague visiting from India, AbhiSuryawanshi, who is with me in New York but will be attending the Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/3rd Annual Wikimedia New England General Meeting tomorrow, Saturday 19 July. He does medical translation to Indian languages and manages a small amount of clinical research in India, and is here in the United States to talk with people about doing a bit more. He was disappointed that he was unable to meet with some of the people he had hoped to meet at Harvard to talk about global health, and now I am seeing that you are in Boston, a Wikipedian, and also interested in global health and clinical research ethics.

I am writing to suggest that perhaps when Abhishek is in Boston tomorrow you two could meet, either at the general meeting or otherwise. I myself will not be attending this meeting, but I too would like to meet you when next I am in Boston. It is nice to meet you on-wiki now. Take care, and it would be nice to talk more soon. Email me if you want to voice or video chat sometime. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:36, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi MaynardClark,

I made some small copy edits, MOS, removing lists, ect, ect. I would be happy to discuss these changes on the article's talk page. To blindly revert them all and call them "sabotages" is offensive and not helpful. Thank you, --Malerooster (talk) 01:03, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, we should discuss them, but IMO those are not small edits. MaynardClark (talk) 01:06, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

So you would rather the article be shit? Great. --Malerooster (talk) 01:55, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I thought I'd just mention, in case you don't realise it, that your Latin userpage reads as complete nonsense. To be honest, it doesn't do you any credit. Maybe you intend to work at translating it into real Latin -- if so, that's perfectly fine of course. If not, you might reconsider whether you really want it to stay there ... Vale optime!

September 2014

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Joel Fuhrman. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 04:07, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Alex. You will see that we DISCUSS issues (and not always in the kindest of terms). We have the 3Rs rule, which I've not violated, but there are substantive edits and arguments which I feel warrant a referee in this matter. Whqat has not been acknowledged are my quesations for a concept (or topical) organization of the inner portion of the article, since the subject has based his work - the ANDI and his teaching - on nutrient-density, SPECIFICALLY the notion of micronutrient density. What is missing for 3rd party readers is a discussion of what micronutrients and macronutrients are (though they could look them up with the links). Other actors on the article seem determined to not look at the scientifically established (or at least scientifically discussed) concept of nutrient-density (as I documented on the talk page). I hope that you will applly the same rigorous standards of editorial fairness when looking at some of the comments (not merely edits) of the other actors on the article. MaynardClark (talk) 04:12, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Edit-warring has been happening on that page and 3RR I am sure has been broken. This was just a gentle reminder to ensure you aware of the policy. Discussions about the article's content should take place on its talk page but in brief it's important to avoid WP:OR and WP:SYNTH by ensuring any sources cited for Fuhrman's concepts are explicitly about those concepts. Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 04:24, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?

Please be aware of WP:COI, Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest. Have you got any conflict of interest around the topic of Joel Fuhrman? Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 04:20, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

The other actors on the article seem to have a COI. Have you asked each of them?

Nothing but the facts - established facts. MaynardClark (talk) 04:22, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

That was a non-answer. To avoid misunderstandings and save time could you please either answer the question or simply say you are not going to (which you are perfectly entitled to do). To be clear I am not asking for any details, just a simple "yes", "no" or "no comment" would be helpful. Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 04:27, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm guessing that you or some of the other actors may, since they have reverted edits numerous times, including grammatically correct edits. I think you need another super-editor coming in here to review it.

An answer to your question depends on what you mean by COI. I do believe in the scientifically-established concept of nutrient density as clinically useful (and as established independently of Dr. Fuhrman's ANDI formulation, which is essentially a chart of foods RANKED by their nutrient-density; ranking is commonly used in statistics AND biostatistics), but I have no fCOI with anything related to Joel Fuhrman. Did I answer your question? MaynardClark (talk) 04:31, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Not really. I'll not press it. Alexbrn ^{talk|contribs|COI} 04:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Norman Daniels

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Norman Daniels requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/norman-daniels/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

MaynardClark: Thank you for your welcome several weeks ago to the philosophy of science project. I posted a talk section on wanting to revise the instrumentalism article so that it would be relevant to articles on inductive reasoning, John Dewey, and Karl Popper.

A possible 'rewrite' could be Role of nurses in ebola outbreaks (patient care, advocacy, research subjects, policy contributors, etc.). I would like to know how many research subects are in this specific trial (which neither the more general vaccine article nor the array of articles on the history of ebolavirus outbreaks are appropriate to hold), how long this drug trial is expected to last/require and some of the crisis issues related to vaccine production, and maybe even convert the page to a page that addresses some of that interest in the research subjects. MaynardClark (talk) 17:15, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

We typically don't have articles about people only notable for one event. The information about clinical trials can go into the article on CAd3-ZEBOV just fine... Issues about vaccine production are probably best covered in Ebola virus disease#Vaccine. Information on the role of nurses you've suggested fits in the Nursing article just fine, without a separate article about Ebola nurses. We already cover some of the effects of Ebola virus disease specifically on healthcare workers: Ebola_virus_epidemic_in_West_Africa#Deaths_of_healthcare_workers. If you want to rewrite/convert the Ruth Atkins article into an entirely different topic, you could do that in your user space. But it sounds like you want a bunch of different information that fits into existing articles just fine... Xqxf (talk) 17:47, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Be sure that it does include that data somewhere (I don't yet see anything approaching it at this time!). The human interest side of the human subjects research is underappreciated, yet it's really a very stressful role in testing something that is that urgently required but for which efficacy has not been calculated. There COULD be a 'stub class article' MaynardClark (talk) 17:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

If you want to be sure the data is included, the best way is to keep an eye on the CAd3-ZEBOV article and see that the data is added when the trials are further along. About the human interest side, this is probably best covered in articles like Human subject research and Guidelines for human subject research. The articles on ZMapp and brincidofovir (other Ebola drugs) have "human interest" sections, and you could add similar to CAd3-ZEBOV, perhaps. (Or expand Ebola virus disease#Vaccine to cover anything you feel is missing about the use of experimental drugs in Ebola patients.) Xqxf (talk) 18:06, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

edit war warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on European Sleep Apnea Database. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Jeff Novick page??

Great edit to Plant-based diet - perhaps you could make a Jeff Novick article? I think it would make a great contribution to the plant-based page. I would start but am swamped in RL and am only on the WP in spurts. -Classicfilms (talk) 18:25, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I will. Maybe not today, though. What would you like to see included in it? MaynardClark (talk) 18:33, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Of course, time is always hard for everyone, maybe just something to think through for awhile. WP:BLP articles are something that I tend to do, but am pretty to open to content. Maybe it would be useful to see what is there for T. Colin Campbell, John A. McDougall, Rip Esselstyn, and Caldwell Esselstyn. With BLP's secondary sources are probably the most important place to begin so that may take some time to track down. I've read Novick's work and it is I feel quite notable but it may take some time to organize enough materials for an article. Plant-Based Diet is a tough area because there isn't a great deal of consensus as to terminology but maybe BLP's are a good place to begin -- and to expand (meaning current articles could all use work). -Classicfilms (talk) 20:14, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Here is a 'start': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MaynardClark/JeffNovick

I prefer tne nutrient-dense approach, not the calorie-dense approach. MaynardClark (talk) 20:20, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Wow, that's a great outline. I would say that the goal now would be to work with WP:BLPSOURCES. Solid secondary references tend to be at the heart of BLP's and that is what may take time to track down. Signing off for today but will check back in next week. -Classicfilms (talk) 20:22, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hannah Allam

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hannah Allam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello MaynardClark. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
