your edit at Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Hi,

I reverted your edit at this page, but I did want to pop in and touch base with you. I think it would help if you were to read the guideline on reliable medical sources. the upshot is that the study you inserted was a primary one, and we much prefer reviews or secondary sources. Your placement of the reference was a little bit problematic, as well, since it seems like it's positioned to undermine the claim of the more-acceptable secondary source immediately before it. This is the sort of thing we would like to avoid.

I understand that you think this might very well help someone. However, it is important also that we include the best evidence available, and a single primary study is not best evidence as we define it. Please feel free to comment on my talk page if you have further questions, or simply post here; I will watch your talk page for the next few days. -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ]# &#9604; 03:42, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I was coming to comment on the same issue, with regards to your edits on Garlic and Lead poisoning. Medical information requires much stricter sourcing than other subjects on Wikipedia. Basically, if you read a "primary" study--a single study covering a single subject group, it won't meet RS. We really only want to use secondary sources, which are review articles of multiple studies, or college (or higher) level medical books/textbooks. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:45, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of JustAnswer


A tag has been placed on JustAnswer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. G S Palmer (talk) 20:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Keith Hancock a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Gorthian (talk) 03:58, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
