Your request for a third opinion
Hi Preconscious. I looked at your request at WP:3O for a third opinion on Talk:Circumcision. Unfortunately, that discussion is unsuitable for a third opinion, as multiple editors are already in the discussion. You may take it to WP:DRN if you wish. Also, if you file any further requests at WP:3O, please read the instructions carefully. In particular, we don't accept long expositions of the the issue on the 3O request page, just a very brief and neutral statement identifying the topic. Your opening sentence, "Disagreement about the suggestion, circumcision would not have ANY impact on sexual function" was fine and would have been quite sufficient (although the capitalization of any was somewhat leading and would have been better if avoided). Kind regards, --Stfg (talk) 09:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Forum-shopping, personalizing content disputes and courtesy notifications
Hello Preconscious. Sorry you're getting off to a rough start editing here. I see that after not getting the result you were looking for at the article Talk page you went on to start discussions in significant part about me, personally, in three locations, first here at the Help Desk, then here at the Third Opinion board, and finally here at the User Talk page of.

First, starting multiple conversations in different places about the same topic is discouraged, see WP:FORUMSHOP. It's best to pick one venue, let the discussion run to a conclusion, and then abide by any consensus established. Sometimes you get the result you were hoping for, sometimes you do not, but if you keep pursuing it beyond that, it can be seen as tendentious editing, a form of disruptive editing.

Also, regarding your multiple new sections here, if I might offer a bit of advice: Pick one topic/content change suggestion at a time, focus on that, and let it run to conclusion before starting a new one. Opening multiple concurrent sections dilutes the amount of attention any one suggestion will get, and you will have less of a chance of having a clear consensus develop one way or another regarding your suggestion.

Second, again, please do not personalize content disputes. In each of the three discussion you started you focused attention on me, personally. Please follow the advice gave you here.

Third, if you are going to mention another editor by name and accuse them of wrongdoing, as you did, you should at least extend the courtesy of notifying that editor that you have done so, to give them a chance to respond. You can use the following notification template:  to do so, see u.

, I'm definitely not after venting aggression on an undue subject. I think you underestimate the aggressiveness of your behaviour. Effectively, you (as other editors with admin-rights seem not present) are vandalizing my suggested edits by blocking them. If you ever experienced vandalizing on wikipedia content you put work into, you know how annoying this can be. As I put work into my suggested edits, I see this work vandalized by seeing it blocked from any publication (where it might be scrutinized by other persons at will, fine with that). So my primary concern is not getting some plain sophistry when I'm seriously working on improving an article. I would've never deleted other opinions or interpretations of research, and my first edit-suggestions were far from radical, if you remember, I only suggested to modify into "disputed".

I defy the attitude of "quality hierarchy", when even Cochrane and Pubmed is selected at will. There are definitely studies of varying quality. But it is not up to some fixed hierarchy, especially not one where cochrane is on top and once cited no other allowed, if content of research is disputable or remains untouched by studies who were less lucky to be funded and pushed by lobbies into the position they would deserve. If you are really interested in the subject, I honestly recommend reading Adorno on positivist science, maybe also Horkheimer on the racket of doctors in the Nazi-era. I only have the German sources for these texts, but you will find translations online for sure. Preconscious (talk) 17:10, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
