Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!


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. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles, such as your edits to the article Microneedle drug delivery; it's great to have a new editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:


 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
 * The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Zefr (talk) 04:54, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jaswanth Gowda BH. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Microneedle drug delivery, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. ''... and on Skin cancer. Wikipedia is not a place to cite your own literature, WP:NPOV. Use neutral sources that are review articles in reputable journals, WP:MEDRS.'' Zefr (talk) 04:58, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Dear Zefr. Thanks for bringing this into my notice. Regarding edits in "Microneedle drug delivery" page, we are among 5 researches in the world who have published review article on "Stimuli-responsive microneedles" in a most reputable publisher's journal with very good impact factor.
 * Next, taking about edits in "Skin cancer" page, I don't have any purpose of advertising or promoting anything. I just added an important and relevant information about "Nanotechnology for skin cancer treatment", which was never there before, for helping out readers. Also, I cited my own article since it is authentic and also has been published in one of the reputed publisher's journal with high impact factor (41.111), I hope you are from research background and understand this.
 * Overall, my aim was just to provide information to the people. I have cited other references in both pages, I hope you can see that. Since Wikipedia is known by many, I have posted information here. I apologies for infringing the rules of Wikipedia by citing my own works, which I didn't know before. If I had knew this, why would I wasted my time in these kind of work since I have many more research works to do.    Jaswanth Gowda BH (talk) 05:34, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * As an active scientist, you were likely editing in good faith to update content with your recent publications. But I sense you were acting more as a journal author than an encyclopedia editor. Especially in the skin cancer article, you were adding nanotechnology content that is not yet in the mainstream of clinical care. See WP:NOTJOURNAL 6-8 which explains the difference between writing for the encyclopedia vs. authoring content in a journal or textbook. Nanotechnology is a possible future use, WP:CRYSTAL, and your edit seemed promotional of this method and your research, WP:PROMO.
 * For the microneedle drug delivery article, your review in Biomacromolecules appears to be a useful update but a) it still is addressing a future possible use, and b) it is not readily available as a full article to the common Wikipedia user. In general, an edit should provide current information and sources, and should be written so a non-scientific reader can understand it. See WP:MEDMOS, here. Zefr (talk) 17:37, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Zefr, as you said, if future possible use cannot ne mentioned, then please tell me how there is an information present about "Possible vaccine delivery" in "microneedle drug delivery article" with suitable references (journal article). Kindly enlighten me?
 * As of today, there is no dissolving microneedle-based vaccine delivery system present in the market for patient use. Biomedical Sciences 12 (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Zefr, I agree that Jaswanth Gowda BH had cited his own works, which is against the rules of Wikipedia. But, you also mentioned that Jaswanth Gowda's edits addressed a possible future use. In this case, why are you keeping quite with the content on "Possible vaccine delivery" with multiple references in "microneedle drug delivery article", which is not in mainstream of clinical care? Biomedical Sciences 12 (talk) 18:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Editing the encyclopedia is a dynamic process. I agree with your assessment - "Possible vaccine delivery" was removed. Zefr (talk) 18:50, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
