08:37:15, 22 March 2015 review of submission by DimaGIT
Draft:Abdulla Al Gurg, I am requesting help to understand why my Draft has been deleted and why I don't have a chance to work on it and whether is it ok to create a new draft with the same title and get it reviewed. Thanks

17:05:56, 22 March 2015 review of submission by MedResearchSF
Hi, My article was reviewed by Looie496 - clearly a very knowledgeable person in the field of neuroscience. His/her review claims that 'Legitimate sources are repeatedly misused as references for statements that they do not support.' but does not give any indication of what specifically he/she views as being misused. I've asked Looie496 through his/her talk page for some specifics so that I can correct them, but have not heard back. My first request was on March 5th. My second response was just today - so I know there hasn't been any chance to respond to my second request.

I've gone into some of the forums to get clarification and some other reviewers were dismayed by the lack of specificity as well.

I've had several neuroscientists review my article (some of them are also the authors of some of the cited works) and they aren't clear what the reviewer objected to.

I don't mind making edits - I want this to be the best article possible. I just need to know specifically what needs to be addressed. Could you please advise me on how to proceed?

Thanks, MedResearchSF (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2015 (UTC)MedResearchSF

 * Have you asked the reviewer? It is like to be the fastest route.
 * I have not looked at the draft, not my area of expertise, but, if the references are by the folk inside the topic there is a potential issue unless the material is peer reviewed. Fiddle   Faddle  17:10, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I have asked WikiProject Medicine to assist with this issue. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:23, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

the article cites 27 references...none are reviews that fall within a 5 year range, (see Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine) --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 10:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It is my opinion that this article diverges significantly from what Wikipedia usually covers in the health space. Here are some ideas:
 * Consider visiting WikiProject Medicine's talk page to talk this through point by point. If you are willing, then developing this piecewise through iterations of comments and response would be the easiest way forward even though it may take multiple cycles of review.
 * Make sure that the article meets Wikipedia's notability requirements first. It is not obvious that this article meets that minimal criteria for inclusion. In short - identify 2-3 reliable sources which feature "Bioelectronic_Medicine" as their subject.
 * All content in the article should come from reliable sources which are cited. Prepare to delete everything in the article which is not backed by a reference, and think about what is left.
 * Thanks for coming to Wikipedia. You are most welcome to continue this discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  13:39, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
