Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited TSMC, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DFM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. 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. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) 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.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which has a button "Cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "Automatic" or "Manual"
  3. For Manual: Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details, then click "Insert"
  4. For Automatic: Paste the URL or PMID/PMC and click "Generate" and if the article is available on PubMed Central, Citoid will populate a citation which can be inserted by clicking "Insert"

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) 02:39, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • @Doc James: Thank you for your correction on my edits of montelukast. I agree that In medicine, primary sources include clinical trials, which test new treatments. while WP:MEDPRI also imprinted on my mind that If conclusions are worth mentioning (such as large randomized clinical trials with surprising results), they should be described appropriately as from a single study.; I think my edit did mention and attribute randomized trials saying As for combining desloratadine, greater efficacy of symptom control has been documented in several randomized trials.[1][2][3]
  1. ^ Nettis, E.; Colanardi, M. C.; Paradiso, M. T.; Ferrannini, A. (2004). "Desloratadine in combination with montelukast in the treatment of chronic urticaria: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study". Clinical and experimental allergy : journal of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology. 34 (9). Wiley: 1401–1407. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2222.2004.02019.x. ISSN 0954-7894. PMID 15347373. The combination of desloratadine plus montelukast is effective in the treatment of chronic urticaria. It may therefore be a valid alternative in patients with relatively mild chronic urticaria, in view of its efficacy and the lack of adverse events.
  2. ^ Ciebiada, Maciej; Górska-Ciebiada, Małgorzata; DuBuske, Lawrence M.; Górski, Paweł (2006). "Montelukast with desloratadine or levocetirizine for the treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis". Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology. 97 (5). Elsevier BV: 664–671. doi:10.1016/s1081-1206(10)61098-8. ISSN 1081-1206. PMID 17165277. CONCLUSIONS: For persistent allergic rhinitis, the combination of montelukast and either desloratadine or levocetirizine is more effective than monotherapy with these agents.

This was 10 people. https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/33/6/1302 Please use review articles going forwards (note that this is different than simple peer reviewed) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:20, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the note that reminds me that "review articles" comprise literature review and systematic review different from peer review. Yeah, I think I gonna use review articles only since I haven't had a good knowledge about how large a randomized clinical trials should be for respective speciaty's study. --Reciprocater (talk) 05:33, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Doc James: Hi, could you help me identify if the following source is a literature review or simply a peer reviewed primary source? Thank you.

Hello Reciprocater. You asked for advice in finding systematic reviews on PubMed. Here is the link, offering two methods, or a third is to simply enter 'review' as a search word separated by a space with other search terms of interest. Example: this search was for ['systematic review ace II']. 1) Assure the publication is indexed by Medline by clicking on the journal title and checking that it is indexed, such as this example (BMC MG is). Your next step is to assess date and journal quality. 2) See WP:MEDDATE to select a review from within the last 5 years. 3) Check WP:CITEWATCH to eliminate a journal if potentially predatory or if it comes from the alternative medicine literature. 4) Check the impact factor with a Google search of the journal title and 'impact factor' as a search term, example here where the impact factor is above 1.0 (which is low, but adequate, for medical sources). The higher number for impact factor, the better. See here. Fyi: The review you chose above in Cardiovascular Research looks ok, except that it is 13 years out of date. Good luck! --Zefr (talk) 15:59, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Zefr: Thank you so much!! Now I know that's how it is! --Reciprocater (talk) 16:04, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
A note about WP:CITEWATCH, it only reports what is currently cited on Wikipedia (well, technically, what is cited as of the last WP:DUMP, which can be seen at the bottom of the WP:CITEWATCH page). WP:CITEWATCH/SETUP has a longer list of problematic citations. The easiest workflow for checking if a journal is nonsense is to check against https://beallslist.net/ (both the publisher and journal, by name and by url domain), and the other lists at WP:CITEWATCH/SETUP#Sources. I try to put as many as possible of those in my script, but it doesn't cover everything. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:14, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Headbomb: I appreciate your informative reminder! --Reciprocater (talk) 16:17, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Go here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=17049503 click on publication type. It says "review". That means it is a review article not just peer reviewed. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Human coronavirus NL63: The infecting virus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which enters its host cell by the ACE2 receptor. I saw ACE2 receptor had been redirected to Angiotensin_II_receptor. Is it a correct redirection? Regards, --Reciprocater (talk) 13:57, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reciprocater - I think you have it right here, but I am not an expert on this topic. A good place to get broad expert feedback on such a question is WT:MED. --Zefr (talk) 14:14, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Here is a variant of your sig that is hopefully less distracting:

  Hello, I'm Woerich. I noticed that you recently removed content from Mainland China without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Your slash-and-burn approach to sourcing is wholly unacceptable and a form of WP:TE. Nowhere in WP:SOURCE is there a requirement for the subject of a source cited in a Wikipedia article to be strictly about the article topic in question. And, yes, contrary to your dictat, a Legislative Council of Hong Kong document is absolutely a reliable primary source documenting usage of the term within that territory.

@CaradhrasAiguo:: WP:Primary source goes to WP:OR. Stop WP:GAME!--Reciprocater (Talk) 04:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
I should have said "documenting official usage", though you will dispense with the facetious WP:GAME accusation immediately, per WP:NPA. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 04:10, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
WP:GAME:Gaming the system may include:Wikilawyering, pettifogging, and otherwise using the letter of policy to violate the broader principles of the policy. which appears to match your behavior that redirected WP:primary source to WP:RS. But since you've taken a step back saying "should have", I think I am not going to say Game. Wiped! Reciprocater (Talk) 04:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Greater China

edit

Please don't revert my good faith edit, just leave the job to the native editors please. The original infobox was perfect, Da/Tai can mean great or big in Chinese. In this context, 大中华 (da zhonghua) is the perfect translation. Just insert Tai makes no sense at all, it is just pure spam by Google Translate. I am native Chinese speaker, I know the subtle difference in a Chinese phrase.

Thank you for your cooperation. 2001:8003:9008:1301:780A:CF5:F4B:EC87 (talk) 04:36, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your clarification. But Wikipedia relies on WP:RS to work. Just because claiming yourself is a native Chinese Speaker is insufficient. --Reciprocater (Talk)

Request reason:

Hello, for the blocking admin Iridescent, 1. May I know if this block is made after running CU tools? 2. Do you think I encountered Wikipedia:POV_railroad#False_narratives? 3. Per Admin's expectation, may I know if you've ever assumed me good faith? 4. Is this block made in your effort to cool down the content dispute involving me and others? 5. What did you mean by "show over"? 6. How is this review obvious? 7. Wikipedia:The_duck_test ::a. consider that "User:Example" is engaged in a heated dispute with someone else, and gets blocked because of it. Immediately after, a "User:Example2" registers on Wikipedia and continues the dispute right away, saying the same things and in the same tone.  ::b. If consensus appears to be approaching one direction, aside from a handful of accounts that are using the same bad arguments  ::c. The duck test may also apply to copyright violations.. May I know which of the three contexts is linked to this block? Thank you for your patience and review. --Reciprocater (Talk) 10:13, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

I'm satisfied that the accounts appear to the same editor and the block is a good one. If they're, not, you'll be vindicated by a checkuser. Number 57 12:32, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
