Hemp

Never a good idea to remove sources and add back facttags to articles... could you pls read over WP:BURDEN.-- Moxy (talk) 15:22, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello HempFan. Your choice of username and editing history show you are focused on hemp, perhaps to the point of WP:SOAP and not being neutral per WP:NPOV. Please review WP:5P1 and WP:5P2 so you are not promoting your editing topics. It would be good to diversify your interests. --Zefr (talk) 02:01, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's totally true that my focus is on hemp (and perhaps some cannabis), but I can assure you, I'm neutral. Please start a discussion on the Hemp protein talk page before you remove sources, because they seem totally fine to me (you removed one source that was a journal, and the other source cited some PhD guy if I remember correctly). I may diversify my interests later on, but I'm not here to promote anything, just add, improve and expand hemp articles. I hope we can have a cordial collaboration! HempFan (talk) 02:05, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Once you read and apply the guidelines in WP:SCIRS (source quality for scientific content pertaining to hemp or hemp protein) and WP:MEDRS (for any implication of human health benefit), you will see that the references and content you chose for your hemp protein stub are low-quality, non-secondary references not worth the time of me or any editor explaining their deficiencies. From your list of Wikipedia contributions to date, it's hard to believe you are not promoting hemp/cannabis (as you say, you "like" it, i.e., not adhering to WP:NPOV), and your choice of sources for the hemp protein article indicates you are not seeking out or understanding reliable secondary sources. The Talk page of articles for your interests is the best place to try out content and references with drafts, allowing other editors to review and comment first before inserting the worked draft into the article; this would avoid reverts that appear to be frustrating you. --Zefr (talk) 13:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Editing policy

Please read our policy and discus changes on the article's talk page. You no doubt have much knowledge but to contribute meaningfully to Wikipedia your edits must be structured.--Aspro (talk) 16:59, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've read it, nowhere in that policy page does it state that being an "experienced editor" is somehow a valid rational to violate WP:NAME. HempFan (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have entered an ongoing war

You have entered a minefield. There are editors on this site who will do everything they can to replace all occurrences of the word marijuana with the word cannabis. I recently had a draft article denied because people do not understand the difference between the words. Like you, I think... unfortunately not all the editors around here do... they just fight to get their way. Glad to have more thinking editors aboard, please do not get yourself banned. (These editors will get you banned if you speak to loudly, even when you are right).

My article that was refused: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marijuana_(cannabis)

The logic for my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cannabis#Draft:Marijuana_.28cannabis.29

The awful reason it was denied: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Cannabis (drug) instead."

If we are patient, we will prevail. Do not let the idiot editors hold you down and welcome aboard. --Potguru (talk) 21:48, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the support! I will look into your draft when I have time. HempFan (talk) 22:06, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what happens when you try to do the "right" thing... you get canvassed and then sent packing.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Potguru You see how easy it is to ban someone? All I am doing is correctly updating article text with the word marijuana and look at all the people who want to ban me from the site for doing the same. I tell you this as a warning, not because I am canvassing for support. This may be my last post on wikipedia because I may be banned in the morning. --Potguru (talk) 07:27, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's so not cool. I got your back though! HempFan (talk) 08:56, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Protein quality, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spirulina. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:50, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I figured it was just enough to link to the carboxytherapy article. How about this edit then? Is that a reliable source for the statement that carboxytherapy is used as a treatment for stretch marks? The claim isn't that carboxytherapy works, just that it's being used against stretch marks, and the daily mail should be reliable enough for that, wouldn't you say? I was about to write "let's try this source", but accidentally pressed the enter button while typing, lol. Anyway, how do you add your contributions and email to your signature? HempFan (talk) 20:05, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The DailyMail is a tabloid. I have replaced it with MNT[1] which is still not a great source. And updated the other bits of the article with some recent systematic reviews. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:48, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Cool! Thanks for the help man, appreciate it! HempFan (talk) 07:23, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Changing your own Talk page comments

You can change or even remove a comment you make on a Talk page by simple editing - if and only if no one has responded to it. If someone has responded to a comment you made, you can only change it by showing the changes you make with underlines for content you add and using strike-out for content you want to remove, and then signing a second time with a note that you have redacted your comment, so the redaction is date stamped. The reason for this is that responses become nonsense when the comment that was responded to is changed. This is explained in the talk page guidelines in the section called "Editing comments: Own comments" - the shortcut to that section is WP:REDACT. i reverted the change you made here at the Hemp talk page.

Protein quality

Dude, there were no radical changes? Can you explain your issue? Great floors (talk) 08:36, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You might be reverting too much

Hi Hempfan,

I just noticed that 21 of your 179 mainspace were reverts. (Maybe more, I didn't check all 179.) That's one revert for every 8 normal edits. If you look at other users, I think you'll see this high rate of reverting is not normal. Editing and discussing edits might be a better approach than always reverting people. Great floors (talk) 10:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've only reverted your edits because you're ruining the article. And I don't revert much at all, only when necessary. HempFan (talk) 07:24, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The numbers disagree with you :-) Great floors (talk) 23:59, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
