Plant based doctors
Hi MaynardClark is there any plant-based doctors/physicians that you know of who do not have Wikipedia articles that you think would qualify for an article? I put a list on the WikiProject talk-page but many of those after deeper research would not qualify. Dr. Joel Kahn I will be working on next. Psychologist Guy (talk) 00:56, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think of Robert M. Kradjian, MD, a breast cancer surgeon (Breast Surgery Chief, Division of General Surgery, Seton Medical Centre #302, 1800 Sullivan Ave. Daly City, CA 94015). I doubt that this 'The Milk Letter: A Message To My Patients' was from 2013.  He incorporated his medical practice in 1974.     I remember seeing some of his 'grey literature' on this topic (circulated in the hospitals, I guess).  The USE of what he wrote by others whose writing was not always scholarly may have tarnished his reputation (perhaps AFTER he dissolved his medical practice in 1996).  Gary Null cited Dr. Kradjian on his health-oriented radio program from New York City.  Also, check out Dr. Kristi Funk and Dr. Susan Love, both breast cancer surgeons (who today are saying what Dr. Robert Kradjian had said decades before, and whose clinical research was provided a 'basic science' research base by T. Colin Campbell in one of his three eCornell online courses).  "Dr Kristi Funk is a breast cancer surgeon in California who also treated celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow."  I believe that, today, researchers of this persuasion are unclear which components of milk and/or dairy products are causal triggers (requires some differentiation, which research may be found unethical by IRBs if conducted with human beings).  However, there are online sources that appear credible which dispute claims that any dairy products trigger cancerous growth, despite basic science studies in the carcinogenicity of casein.  But who IS that?  Have you heard of them before 2020?  It seems to be a private funding source.  Contrasting 'natural explanations' have been known throughout the history of medical and other science.  I will continue to look, but IMO the articles I have listed in the WikiProject are far more interesting to me and worthwhile for a historical view of plant-based diet belief and practice in America and in Western culture.  You may wish to explore ALL the lifestyle medicine physicians, including a 'fast-rising star', Saray Stancic, MD, FACLM, the director of medical education for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, D.C. Articles by any of these three medical women would also qualify for the WikiProject Women, WikiProject Medicine, WikiProject Biology, WikiProject Science, WikiProject Women scientists in Wikipedia and the projects for their respective states and/or nations.

Wyss Institute rewrite needs review
Hi MaynardClark,

I am working on the Wyss Institute article (I work for the Wyss Institute and have declared my COI).

Back in 2021 you argued that the article should be "built up not merged." The current article also has been flagged for other issues, including notability, lack of citations, and promotional language.

I've spent the past three months doing a fully researched rewrite based on published citations about the major scientific developments and philanthropic history at the Wyss.

The rewrite needs independent review from another editor who can make the call on replacing the current (admittedly very poor) draft with the new version.

Would you please take a look at it?

Thanks,

Seth Kroll

Speedy deletion nomination of Limitarianism (Christianity)


Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Limitarianism (Christianity), is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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 "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 deleted 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.

Eric Adams
Eric Adams is a pescetarian as he eats a lot of fish. I believe it is incorrect to put him in the "American veganism activists" category. I have raised the issue at the talk-page but I wanted to know if you have read his book or not. His book "Healthy at Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses" seems to be supporting plant-based diets but not veganism. If you have any details let me know. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * One of his key public relations assistants (Special Advisor to the Chief of Staff), Rachel Atcheson, is a vegan and activist. She supported Eric Adams for mayor, and as far as I could tell from the campaign Adams carried out (a) he explicitly targeted vegetarians and vegans (and spoke at the Veggie Pride Parade the year before the election) and (b) most 'targeted' vegans whom I know supported Adams (enthusiastically).  I think that he was POSSIBLY 'political' about 'veganism' and may have seen it as a desirable direction with which we can align, although we may not (all?) "be there" quite yet.
