Please click here to leave me a new message. Also neither I nor Wikipedia give medical advice online. copy of msg sent via Wikipedia "email" I have mobilized moral support from my fellow sufferers in forums to get a couple Wikipedia pages improved that deal with our condition. However initial attempts to contact knowledgeable professionals have not yet yielded results. Can you advise me? The pages in question are two entries involving MAC: 1. about MAI, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium-intracellulare_infection 2. about MAC proper, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium_complex I am aware that five years ago a discussion was started on whether to merge the two entries, but no decision was ever reached. Thanks. Seniorexpat (talk) 17:47, 24 May 2016 (UTC) Will take a look. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:25, 24 May 2016 (UTC) I notice that my entry on your talk page is about to expire. What did your cursory look reveal to you? In the meantime my ambitions are greater than before. I now see that two more pages are involved, which IMO should be linked with those pages cited above. Otherwise patients are getting confused in understanding these issues, which are "underdiagnosed" and thus spreading to more people: Nontuberculous_mycobacteria (have already added a simple hyperlink myself here) Mycobacterium So-called "subject-matter experts" are needed to evaluate the components and to help me establish clarity and coherence. Seniorexpat (talk) 08:26, 30 May 2016 (UTC) I have adjusted the MAC infection article User:Seniorexpat. I guess the question is do we need an article for the bacteria MAC proper and NTMB? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:52, 30 May 2016 (UTC) No, I did not mean to suggest a deletion. Instead, I propose a better linking among the four pages to make clear the relationships, in particular the Items below No. 1-5 ..... Seniorexpat (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2016 (UTC) Thank you for making a start. I have more concerns/ questions: 1. A certain Jerome Reich, M.D., has commented to me: "I think it would be appropriate to classify both articles under Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare disease (Infection and disease are not synonymous.)" Do you agree with that? 2. Problems continue with a “Taxonomy” here ... Nontuberculous_mycobacteria … that is redundant and poorly collated with this detailed list of “Species”: Mycobacterium How do you think we should proceed? 3. The material under Mycobacterium_avium_complex is from the Nineteen-nineties! I propose, as one improvement among many potential ones, to integrate this new paper: Aksamit, Timothy R. et al. (2013): Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease: The top ten essentials, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rmed.2013.09.014 How do you think we should proceed? (Full disclosure: I have no financial, academic or fame interests influencing me in this matter. I did once get to know and respect the main author.) Seniorexpat (talk) 15:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC) Additional concerns/ questions: 4. I have added a link to another paper vetted by Aksamit et al., which is known among sufferers as central and meaningful to patients. 5. Another sufferer in another forum has suggested -- and got backup from others -- that we need a link to Non-CF Bronchiectasis, although the relation between the two is still in need of more research. I have made only the minimum link there myself, see Bronchiectasis Seniorexpat (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2016 (UTC) SOLVED Finally I have received word from a renowned subj.-matter expert that he is willing to meet with me in July. He is a co-author of Aksamit et al. (2013). I hope that the fruits of my collaboration with him will meet with your approval. If some edits prove tricky, I may need your help again. Thanks for now.

I'd like to be able to use it, seems that Earwig bot isn't working very well right now...the page is gibberish to me... this makes no sense at all and I only see about five articles on it...? Montanabw(talk) 02:27, 25 May 2016 (UTC) User:Montanabw The page you are wanting is this one. Basically it tests all new edits to EN WP over a certain size. There is no option to use it manually at this point in time. We would love help with reviewing edits. There are basically only two of us doing it right now and we get about 100 to 200 flagged concerns per day with a true positive of 60% and false positive of 40%. Will be speaking about the project at Wikimania. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:10, 25 May 2016 (UTC) That is rather confusing, the only way I can find the "batches" is via the navbox, which it appears you update manually after it's done? Is the plagiabot interface (here) what generates your "batches?"Montanabw(talk) 06:57, 26 May 2016 (UTC) User:Montanabw That is the next version of the tool which is not live yet.

Not sure what this means "not needed with dab in title". Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:21, 27 May 2016 (UTC) Dab I was referring to the hatnote: if an article has a dab in the title, it's generally not necessary to have a hatnote. I have to be honest that I don't see the value in the HTML comments but it's hardly worth fighting over and if it helps someone, then that's good. Thanks, James. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:23, 27 May 2016 (UTC) Agree with you with respect to the hatnote / dab. Thanks Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:25, 27 May 2016 (UTC) Joseph T. Fuhrmann Today I started an article on Joseph T. Fuhrmann, and added four references within a few hours, there is also an entry in the Spanish Wikipedia. Then you came up. The article was gone within 6 hours, although it says it needs at least one reliable source which could be the Mary Washington University, is not it? If that is not a reliable source than Wikipedia went crazy in my point of view. I never saw the page you are referecing to. A new example that most people on Wikipedia are more interested in deleting than in improving. Your bot did not tell me where to look, which is unacceptable and nobody had a chance to improve it! I am not particularly interested in Fuhrmann, but some other people might be. He is an academic, one cannot change much in a account of universities he visited. Wikipedia became unacademic or should we say stupid?Taksen (talk) 18:19, 27 May 2016 (UTC) You added "Joseph Theodore Fuhrmann (1940-) is since 2010 Emeritus Professor of History at Murray State University in Kentucky. Having majored in Russian history, language and literature at Emory University (BA, 1962), he went on to earn a Ph.D. from Indiana University (1968) and was an exchange student at Moscow University (1965-1966). Since gaining access to previously closed Soviet archives, he has worked from 1991 in Russian repositories and studied a host of unpublished documents and edited Nicholas and Alexandra's wartime correspondence." Ref says "JOSEPH T. FUHRMANN, Emeritus Professor of History at Murray State University in Kentucky, received his PhD from Indiana University, one of the leading centers for Russian studies. He attended Moscow University from 1965 to 1966. His first biography of Rasputin, Rasputin: A Life, was regarded as the best book on the subject. Since gaining access to previously closed Soviet archives, he has worked from 1991 in Russian repositories and studied a host of unpublished documents. The first biography inspired documentaries on A&E and the History Channel. He has appeared in three programs as an interviewed guest and as script consultant for two of them.

You cannot copy copyright content into Wikipedia. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC) Edinburgh City F.C. (1928) Why on earth did you delete the whole article? That's a ridiculous over-reaction. Please restore it immediately. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 16:56, 28 May 2016 (UTC) We take copyright issue seriously. It contained copyright issues and as you were the only author I deleted it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:07, 28 May 2016 (UTC) Your reaction is absurd. Why not tag the article and point out what needs correcting? I don't understand what was wrong with the article I created. Most of it is sourced to offline material (a 1990 book by Bob Crampsey). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:51, 28 May 2016 (UTC) It is copied and pasted. Do not copy and paste it again. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:53, 28 May 2016 (UTC) I'm going to create the article again because it's clear you are not being constructive. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:55, 28 May 2016 (UTC) User:Jmorrison230582 was the content moved from another Wikipedia page? Because you did not state this in your first edit to create the article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:03, 28 May 2016 (UTC) Yes, what I have done (or am trying to do) is to effectively split the Edinburgh City F.C. article in two. It had previously outlined the whole history of both football clubs that have used that name. It appears some of the old article was in copyright violation, without anyone previously picking up on this. I hope the version of the new article I have created now should address your concerns. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 18:08, 28 May 2016 (UTC) When you move content from one article to another you MUST state were you moved it from in the edit summary to give attribution and comply with CC BY SA. This is also important for copyright follow up. To tell you the truth I am not sure if the original was copied or not? Or if these people are copying from us http://edinburghcityfc.net/welcome/our%20history.html Will need to look more closely.

Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:42, 1 June 2016 (UTC) An Information I received your message on my talk page and the link you gave me clearly states that it has its information derived from wikipedia. People now and then paste wikipedia's information on online forums. How can they own the copyright then ? The 'so called' copyright information by you was added in wikipedia long time ago before that was copied from wikipedia and pasted on that site the link of which you gave me on my talk page. I spent so much time in giving reliable links for introductory in Himachal Pradesh introductory. But you straightaway removed all that information along with references. That site doesn't own the copyright of the information. That information earlier given in introductory of this article was originally posted in wikipedia. I don't know by whom but what I did was only adding reliable links. If you realize that you made a blunder by removing important parts of introductory section, then please revert your edits yourself and restore the article to its previous version. You will see that many different sites or blogs may have uploaded the same information by copying it from wikipedia. Please take a notice of this. I would have reverted your edits myself after giving my explanation but I don't want to be engaged in an edit war. So, check yourself and then decide what to do. Please do message me for reply.Vibhss (talk) 07:58, 1 June 2016 (UTC) Proof To consolidate what I am saying in relation to article Himachal Pradesh, this link (you must have gone through this completely) http://post-card-diary.blogspot.ca/2015/08/in-lap-of-himalayas.html clearly mentions in the end that its information has been copied from wikipedia. They does not own its copyright. I added good references to support the claims in introductory all of which are being published by reputed portals like Hindustan Times, Deccan Herald and so many. If you were so keen, you could change the wordings and sentences in the introductory keeping the links intact. Similar issue is with Tourism section of the same article which you removed mindlessly along with all the good references. People copy wikipedia's information to post on their forums. By doing this, they do not own its copyright. There are so many forums which follow the idea of "copy from wikipedia, paste on site". Don't take me wrong and check this yourself. I have reverted your edits but I will change the sentences so that they don't exactly match that given in your link. But please understand that the info is wikipedia's original and not pasted from anywhere. But many sites have pasted this information from wikipedia. Please after reading this message, notify me about your views.Vibhss (talk) 08:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC) Thanks User:Vibhss you are indeed correct that the blog post mentions it is from WP. Apologies as I had missed that. Looking at the edit in question [7]. You added the following content on May 31, 2016. Extended content Himachal Pradesh is famous for its abundant natural beauty with Himalayan landscapes. The economy of Himachal Pradesh is currently the third-fastest growing economy in India. Himachal Pradesh has been ranked fourth in the list of the highest per capita incomes of Indian states. This has made it one of the most wealthy places in entire South Asia. Abundance of perennial rivers enables Himachal to sell hydroelectricity to other states such as Delhi, Punjab, and Rajasthan. The economy of the state is highly dependent on three sources: hydroelectric power, tourism, and agriculture. Himachal Pradesh is spread across valleys, and 90% of the population lives in rural areas. However, the state has achieved 100% hygiene and practically no single house is without a toilet. The villages are well connected to roads, public health centers, and now with Lokmitra kendra using high-speed broadband. Shimla district has maximum urban population of 25%. The hill stations of the state are among the most visited places in the country. The government has successfully imposed environmental protection and tourism development, meeting European standards, and it is the only state which forbids the use of polyethylene and tobacco products. References The initial edit summary only says "added links with desirable info...". It does not say which Wikipedia article this was copied from. Our license is CC "By Attribution" Share Alike. The "By attribution" means you need to state in the edit summary when moving content around which page it was from.

Thank you so much for considering my explanation. I hold the same explanation for tourism section of the article which you removed.

Can you assist me ?Vibhss (talk) 09:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC) User:Vibhss if we can figure out which other Wikipedia (Wikivoyage) page it came from than happy to see it returned :-) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC) Fair Well it is no more necessary since I have modified the content of Tourism section of Himachal Pradesh to a large extent along with references.
