Signature
Just a note that the reason Sinebot is signing your comments is because it doesn't consider it a valid signature unless it links to either your user page or your user talk. G M G talk   16:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I came here to tell you to read WP:Signatures and fix yours, before you get reported. -Roxy, the dog. barcus 14:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
 * 1) Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
 * 2) We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do.  Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.
 * 3) Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS; for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see the WP:MEDDEF section.) High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
 * 4) The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
 * 5) We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME.
 * 6) More generally see WP:MEDHOW, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, it provides a way to format citations quickly and easily
 * 7) Citation details are important:
 * 8) *Be sure cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books
 * 9) *Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article, and please format citations consistently within an article.
 * 10) *Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
 * 11) We use very few capital letters (see WP:MOSCAPS) and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 12) Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities. Avoid overlinking!\
 * 13) Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
 * 14) Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

 * Please review the message above before trying to edit Cranial electrotherapy stimulation further. The sourcing guideline discussed above has been mentioned both times the content was removed. Jytdog (talk) 14:19, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Cranial electrotherapy stimulation shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

"arbcom"
you mentioned "going to arbcom" twice now (here, here).

Please read WP:DR; arbcom is the last stop in dealing with behavior issues, and only happens after a lot of other methods have been tried.

What we have now is a content dispute. Please do review the message above, about editing about health, and the information about WP:MEDRS. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

The Lincoln Project
Regarding your edit comment here, speaking as the original author of the article, and as an admin who I hope nobody thinks is corrupt, thank you for your contribution. And, no, nobody "owns" the article. Happy editing. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:29, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
 * Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:

Fixed signature:

More information is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:21, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Concern
Hello. To introduce myself, I was lurking through Wikipedia when I found your page. For obvious reasons I became concerned for you, so I created an account to reach out. I don’t know how any of this works. I don’t even know if you’ll see this. But if there’s anyway I can help, please let me know.

 * Aww, that's nice of you! 10 years at WP and nobody ever asked.
 * I fear I was over-dramatic on my talk page. I accept my situation now... because I can't do anything about it.
 * Anyway, with 2 life insurances plus everything my well-to-do parents owned, a paid-for house, and essentially zero expenses, there's nothing that I physically need.
 * ...Well, except sex. But that's as likely as me looking sexy again.
 * I've got a reeeeally fast computer though! Verdana ♥ Bold 22:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Good to know. Thanks for replying btw. I’ll catch you on the flip side!
