User talk:Andyjeff

Welcome!

Hello, Andyjeff, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Lyme disease does not conform toWikipedia'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, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Scray (talk) 12:24, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors&#32; according to your reverts at Lyme disease. 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 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. Scray (talk) 12:23, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

MEDRS
The reliable-sourcing guideline relevant to Lyme disease is WP:MEDRS; importantly, the peer-review process at Dove Press is not considered to be sufficiently rigorous to satisfy our high standards for medically-relevant sourcing. -- Scray (talk) 12:27, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Consider using WP:Talk pages more frequently
To date, a large proportion of your edits have been reverted, and I would guess that this is frustrating. The reverts are due to inadvertent violation of WP policy and guidance - you just didn't know. The reverts might have been avoided if you'd discussed changes - i.e. asked for a little advice from experienced editors - prior to making big changes. I urge you to interact with other editors in Talk space (e.g. Talk:Lyme disease rather than article space; if you do, I hope you'll find that they're happy to guide you in the application of WP policy and guidance. It's hard to race without a little coaching. -- Scray (talk) 02:18, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
