Making Edits on a locked/protected page
I really don’t understand how to suggest edits when a page is locked/protected. Thank you. NPTruth (talk) 02:13, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Click the "view source" tab (which replaces "edit" tab) from there you'll see a link that will guide you to submit edit request directly. – Ammarpad (talk) 06:14, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

I am completely frustrated. The page for Nurse Practitioner (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_practitioner) and it’s talk page are locked. I can’t add a topic to the talk page nor respond to anything. This is ludicrous that pages that are supposed to define and provide evidence through well sourced references are being held hostage for no apparent reason. NPTruth (talk) 01:10, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me as I am completely frustrated. The page for Nurse Practitioner (Nurse practitioner) and it’s talk page are locked. I can’t add a topic to the talk page nor respond to anything. This is ludicrous that pages that are supposed to define and provide evidence through well sourced references are being held hostage for no apparent reason. How does one "build consensus" if every edit is automatically rejected despite very concrete reasons as to why they should take place (i.e. from credible vs. non-credible sources).

 * The page protection is only temporary, and will be gone within 24 hours(depending on where you are). It is unusual to protect a talk page, but there seems to have been an issue with spamming on it. I see that your only edits have been to Talk:Nurse practitioner and to this page, and you have a username that suggests you have some sort of specific purpose in being here other than an interest in being a Wikipedia contributor. Instead of accusing others of holding things hostage, you should collaborate with others to achieve a consensus as to what the article should say. If there is some sort of intractable dispute, there are avenues of dispute resolution open to you. 331dot (talk) 18:56, 20 May 2019 (UTC)


 * You should comment on your connection to the editors, , , and so on. That so many brand-new editors independently come to the same article's talk page at the same time to make the same point is, to put it mildly, highly unlikely, and a concerted effort to change Wikipedia content by sheer weight of numbers is disruptive. See WP:COWORKER for the relevant policy (which doesn't just apply to coworkers in the strict sense). Huon (talk) 22:52, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

You should not assume that I know those editors and I don't. Perhaps you should consider that the 270,000 nurse practitioners across the U.S. are aware of this mockery of an entry and are attempting to set the record straight. Have a great night!! NPTruth (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2019
 * You don't have to know any other editors for there to be a coordinated effort to influence the article's content. 331dot (talk) 23:51, 20 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Again, the only "coordination" are the people who actually are educated and licensed in that role calling out the mistruths. What if the Police (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police) entry made an outlandish statement such as "police in rural areas are not as well prepared as city police" or "state police get more hours of training than city police" or "police training is 1% of military training." The article cites poor references to opinion pieces and low quality studies to justify the denigration of the profession and the many calls for correction -- going back years -- have largely been ignored. Yes, I'm fairly new to Wikipedia editing however, that shouldn't preclude anyone from suggesting legitimate and well sourced rationale for edits. Thank you for your time.

WikiProjects
A "WikiProject" is a group of editors who work together to improve articles. WikiProject Nursing isn't very active these days, especially since User:Basie hasn't been editing as much recently, but it might have some useful resources. WikiProject Women's Health might also interest you. Most editors "join" just by reading the group's talk page and pitching in however they can.

Also, can you recommend a favorite textbook? I find that nursing textbooks have different, more patient-focused information that belongs in the articles (for example, information about recovering from different surgeries). We don't want "how to" advice, but we do want factual descriptions that say things like "Most people can return to work one week after the surgery" or "are at risk of these complications" (or whatever the real facts are). Generally speaking, a reputable textbook that was published during the last five years is considered a high-quality source for Wikipedia articles. I don't know enough about nursing textbooks to know which ones have the best reputation. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:22, 23 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information WhatamIdoing about WikiProject Nursing. As far as recommended Medical-Surgical Textbook, I would suggest Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems, Single Volume, ISBN-13: 978-0323328524. This should have all the basic nursing care facts you are looking for. If there is anything else I can do to assist, please let me know! NPTruth (talk) 14:00, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 22:08, 8 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Then please help me understand how the existing analysis of NPs not being able to treat/recognize is not already biased? Every edit that I provided is neutral and can be cited from reputable sources as I provided where appropriate. Thank you NPTruth (talk) 22:15, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing Nurse practitioner for persistent advocacy edits. The associated article talk page remains available to you to discuss changes to the article.. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Edits are not biased

 * You named your account "NPTruth" and used it (nearly) exclusively over several years to edit the Nurse practitioner article in an attempt to get it to say what you believe it should. This is advocacy. As I noted, the article talk page is still available to you to discuss changes and see if there is consensus to have them implemented. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:35, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've fixed your link for proper display; to link to another page or article on Wikipedia, simply place the title in double brackets like this: Nurse practitioner which appears as shown above. 331dot (talk) 09:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)


 * As you've now created to edit the same topic area, I've converted your block to site-wide.--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:11, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * You may not remove declined unblock requests from your talkpage, so I have reverted your edits just now. You remain free to remove anything else you'd like. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 05:20, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
