Welcome
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
- Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME.
- 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
- Citation details are important:
- Be sure cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books
- Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article, and please format citations consistently within an article.
- Do not use URLs from your university library that have "proxy" in them: the rest of the world cannot see them.
- Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
- We use very few capital letters (see WP:MOSCAPS) and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities. Avoid overlinking!\
- Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
- 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.

[edit]Hi Doriden, I'm away from the wiki until later this week. You should get in touch with another administrator and link them to our previous discussion for context. You can leave a report at WP:ANI or ask an admin directly. Sorry I can't help at the moment, but I'll look into the situation later this week to tie up any loose ends and make sure everything got resolved. Best, — Wug·a·po·des 14:36, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Look who's back
[edit]Doriden, checkout who's back vandalizing articles again: Special:Contributions/172.58.188.128 --McChizzle (talk) 23:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
Report him Immediately to the administration and revert back all his nonsense. If the ip address is Florida its him. Oshawa was one that banned him before. Let me check his name the administrator. Doriden (talk)
OK, this ip address is out of Maryland. I am currently recovering from a bout with Covid. The 2 administrators that I contacted last time and they blocked him. One is Wugapodes and the other one is Oshwah. Leave a message on their talk page. I looked at some of the edits and they are pretty much useless. Also contact his talk page and tell him that if he doesn't stop he will be blocked. Thank you for letting me know Doriden (talk) 23:48, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
I see that you are reverting some of his work. Last time I saw to it by contacting Wugapodes and Oshwah and the ip address that he was using last time is blocked for a year. It's better that more than one person is complaining about him. I already left messages on Wugapodes and Oshwah talk pages. That's how I got him blocked, but it's better than just me complaining, you know what I mean? OK thanks, Doriden (talk) 01:27, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
September 2022
[edit] Hello, I'm FlightTime. Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to George Thorogood even if you provide a/some source(s), you'll still need to start a discussion on the article talk page to allow editors who regular watch that page a chance to discuss the reliability of the source(s) you provided. One reason is, genre sources can easily be considered an opinion and not fact. Genre's are a touchy subject here on Wikipedia and without discussion/consensus, regardless of your source(s), your addition or removal will most likely be reverted. Your edit has been reverted and archived in the page history for now.
Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:06, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Weequahic Park Lake
[edit]I've already replied to your request about this in a couple of places. I've gotten more information since then. Here's what I've got:
"@Doriden -- That user commented on my "Unimpeachable" edit: "Impeached ;-) Park page is incorrect. It is not close to largest lake in Essex County. A couple, if not more, are larger, eg: https://www.lake-link.com/new-jersey-lakes/essex/canoe-brook-reservoir-number-one/325521"
---OK, that's an anthropogenic lake and it is named a reservoir, unlike Weequahic Lake. But Weequahic Lake is also anthropogenic, so the editor has it accurately in my view. Perhaps Weequahic Lake is the largest "Lake" not the largest lake, but that does not seem notable enough to make the distinction. Regretfully as a former Park neighbor, I must thank the editor for their correction." & I did thank him.
I have since come up with additional information which I likewise addressed to you. "@Doriden Weequahic Lake is anthropogenic, so what makes it different from a reservoir? They are both anthropogenic lakes. Weequahic Lake is by no means the largest anthropogenic lake in Essex County. The Olmsted Brothers' report and proposal describes it as mostly a marsh; see their Landscape Architects' Report."
With all this, I am in no way willing to accept that Weequahic Lake is the largest lake in Essex County. I hope you (1) are willing to read this, (2) accept it, and (3) stop engaging in groundless edit warring over it. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 23:53, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Doriden -- Please stop your edit warring about Weequahic Lake and confine your concerns for the time being to the Talk pages of the respective articles. After initially agreeing with you, I have found that Weequahic Park Lake, for all its having "Lake" in its name, is no different from a reservoir, as they are all anthropogenic. I have found citations to this effect.
- Your citation at NewarkHistory.com states: "At 80 acres, Weequahic Lake is the largest lake in Essex County. Weequahic Lake is natural, but it has been enlarged by a dam." The citation from the Olmsted Brothers' Landscape Architects' Report (1899) makes it perfectly clear that it was a marsh. NewarkHistory.com does not provide a basis for their assertion, "Weequahic Lake is natural." The Olmsteds, who designed the park, were there, and we should take their word for it.
- It is disappointing that you refuse to engage on this besides edit warring. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 04:00, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
Who's edit warring? I have since forgotten all about it. Doriden (talk) 05:25, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
