Salim Yusuf
Most of the sources you are adding to the Salim Yusuf article do not specifically mention Salim Yusuf, this is original research, please read WP:OR to why this is not aloud. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Look at Yusuf's many papers published since 2017. He supports an all around balanced diet. He is NOT keto or carnivore. Why smear the man as being a diet extremist when he clearly is not? Rickyblainecasa (talk) 09:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * He was a great epidemiologist in the past but in the last 8 years he has been promoting fringe views about diet. Many of the sources you added were primary or off-topic, for example they do not mention Salim Yusuf specifically. This is a case of WP:OR. We can not cite articles that do not specifically mention the person. Nobody has said that he is carnivore or keto on his Wikipedia article. The sources you are adding like Gary Taubes, Steven Hamley or Ronald Krauss are low-carb authors funded by the beef industry, they are not reliable sources. You are also adding primary sources. If you read WP:MEDRS you need secondary sources.
 * If you read Yusuf's papers like this one that you were citing, the man denies the lipid hypothesis and promotes fringe views about saturated fat. There is a strong medical consensus that high intake of saturated fat increases heart disease risk. If you look at that paper it was funded by Nina Teicholz. This is very much biased research and WP:Fringe. Your claim that he supports an all around balanced diet is not supported by any good sourcing. His views are not supported by clinical medicine. I realise that he has published papers since 2017 but you did not add any reliable secondary sources that specifically mention Yusuf. I would also like to expand the article but we can't add a load of off-topic sources about salt that do not mention Yusuf by name. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rickyblainecasa! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Salim Yusuf several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Please don't edit war when your additions are reverted, but instead use the article talkpage to try to get consensus for your version. Bishonen &#124; tålk 21:54, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
