Whatever happened to your topic ban request? I can't find it in the ANI archives for some reason. Gamaliel ( talk ) 21:11, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It just petered out without closure, I think - would be in an archive from May 9? NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:27, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I just found it searching manually in Archive 839. Odd that it didn't come up when I used the search box.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 21:31, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

medicine:Reviewing the reviews revert
Your comment: "This needs to be discussed - misrepresents what the study claims to have studied, also unclear whether this is a significant study or an outlier" Thanks for spelling out your concerns for me. Two objectives are both in the "methods" and "results" and are about two readers varied results, the other objective is "systematic reviews about the evidence base of medicine" and the conclusion has "no effect or insufficient evidence is surprisingly high" I was really surprised at their high result and think 160 Cochrane reviews is very significant study. full document here: http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~dmoerman/ReviewOfReviews.pdfDougmcdonell (talk) 06:34, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

IEX/Brad Katsuyama
Thanks for your contributions to both articles. I've reviewed the end result and they seem satisfactory. I'll improve on write-up on the other 2 criticisms as that seems to be the most controversial. 198.0.163.1 (talk) 14:33, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: Brad Katsuyama's Biographic Page - HFTs Criminal and Civil Investigations:

I am re-adding the references to the ongoing criminal and civil investigations of certain high frequency trading exchanges that were recently deleted as they were claimed to not be relevant. This is absolutely relevant information to this Brad Katsuyama's page as these investigations are the reason this person initiated IEX, which is definitely relevant to their biography, with one of the main reasons this person is known and has a Wikipedia page to begin with and therefore certainly relevant to be place on their biography here. Additionally, this information is completely objective and accurate with no bias whatsoever. These comments portray facts, totally objectively and relevant to the person's biographical work section. I must question the motivation to remove these comments due to the previously mentioned reasons as to why they are relevant and mundane to this person's Wikipedia page; the action of removing them is a clearly biased and transparent action to silence the real world events surrounding significant work of this person and are therefore completely justified to be on his Wikipedia page and are well within Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. Please do not remove these justified, objective and relevant comments again on the matter of criminal and civil investigations into high frequency trading exchanges brought on by this person's work, if you do so your agenda to silence legitimate, real world criticism of an outcome of this person's major work life will become even more transparent and known. For complete and full disclosure I have absolutely no connection or relationship with Brad Katsuyama, IEX, or any organization or person associated with the content of this post. I am simply trying to provide objective, relevant information that is uncensored and free from bias so Wikipedia users will get the best and most accurate experience with the site. Thank you.

These comments will be re-added and will remain on this person's Wikipedia page as relevant, objective, free from bias and well within Wikipedia's guidelines and policies:

Since the publishing of Flash Boys and the opening of IEX, several U.S. authorities have confirmed they are looking into certain practices used by high-frequency traders (HFTs), whose strategies can involve executing thousands of trades in milliseconds using insider knowledge that is not publicly available, giving these HFTs an unfair market advantage. The FBI, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Justice Department and the attorney-general of New York State all have investigations underway.
 * The USA Today article nowhere mentions Katsuyama, Flash Boys or IEX. Therefore, the insertions are original research and synthesis, which are prohibited on Wikipedia. Please use the article talk page for further discussion of this matter. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I've moved this discussion to the talk page of Brad Katsuyama's article. I agree with NorthBySouthBaranof's point of view; I do not think that Wikipedia should be used as a platform to forward, or market, any particular person's professional goals and work. Hence, I believe it is consistent with Wikipedia policies that content in Brad Katsuyama's article should remain strictly biographical. Sophie.grothendieck (talk) 08:40, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 Benghazi attack, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Allen West (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
