MEDRS

WP:MEDRS-compliant. Never was, never will be. tgeorgescu (talk) 11:54, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

This is new, I can't just use any scientific literature, especially Systematic Reviews?
May I ask, where exactly do I find the exclusion of MDPI on the linked website, I could not find anything with CTRL+F so that I can do better in the future? The Other Karma (talk) 12:08, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A place to start looking is
WP:MEDRS how to check if those are indexed for it. tgeorgescu (talk) 12:14, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

Ah, I see, it was a bit complicated to find out how to do that. In the future, I will check medical sources to see if they are in MEDLINE or not. The Other Karma (talk) 12:33, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A word of advice

If I was you, I'd revert this edit, with a sincere apology, before someone decides to report the edit summary at WP:ANI. [1] Either that, or expect to have to provide clear and unambiguous evidence for both any supposed 'hoax' and any 'vandalism' involved - which will at minimum involve first taking the time to find out what the words actually mean, since per

WP:AGF, an per our recent discussion on the article talk page, I am going to have to assume that you don't. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:45, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

I truly appreciate your advice and your AGF! However, I assure you that I stand firmly behind all the claims made in this article.
(Since that is one of my core values, especially in such a topic)
Be assured that I always read the rules first before I change something according to a rule.
Hoax vandalism is according to WP:VAND:
"Deliberately adding falsities to articles,"
An example from Cmk21 last edit would be adding this
source to the motivation section, which doesn't include anything about motivation.
Blanking Vandalism is according to WP:VAND:
"Removing encyclopedic content without any reason,"
An example is the removal of the experience section, where no reason is provided.
May I ask why, someone would decide to report my edit to WP:ANI? The Other Karma (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Suit yourself. Don't complain that you weren't warned. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:18, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notification

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:27, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partial block

You have been indefinitely partial-blocked from article space (=from editing articles), based on the comments by myself and others in this ANI discussion. Note that you can still edit all pages that are not articles - talkpages, noticeboards, etc. However, as has been suggested in the discussion, it might work better for you to edit the Wikipedia in your native language instead. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Sitewide block

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing the English Wikipedia. See comments by myself and others in this ANI sub-thread. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

What to do now—and what not to

The Other Karma: well, things have gone from bad to worse. I'm sorry that happened, and I was hoping it wouldn't, but I have to agree with the blocking administrator and with other calls to further restrict your editing. In the end, it was due to your own responses at AN/I and elsewhere that tipped the balance, where simple silence probably would have avoided it. At this point, you have limited options if you want to come back and edit again, but as a first step, I strongly advise you to just forget about Wikipedia for a while, and go do things you enjoy in real life. Note that an

appeal your block
, but I would wait several months at least before you try that.

Please note that as bad as the situation is now, it can get worse: you could

add stuff to Wikipedia on your behalf
.

If and when you decide to appeal your block, it's crucial to demonstrate understanding of the reason for your block and how to avoid the same patterns that led to it; it's not about apology so you can skip that. Providing evidence of understanding is the best support for an unblock request, and a good way to provide that is to continue to edit on

Simple Wikipedia, which is in simple English, but it also carries some risk for you. If you do well there and avoid the old patterns, you could use that as supporting evidence for an unblock. However, if you repeat the patterns and become blocked there as well, then it would grievously hurt your chances for a successful unblock appeal here. I wanted to mention Simple Wikipedia in order to provide you with all the possibilities, but I honestly don't know if I should recommend you try it or not. One of the main issues I've identified to you more than once is a lack of self-awareness of your English skills or the effects of your editing on others; if that continues at Simmple, it could be more risky than it's worth. Only you can decide. A less risky approach would be just to continue your editing at de-wiki: de:The Other Karma (talk · contribs
).

If you respond below, please be sure to stay narrowly on topic; don't mention any article or editor or what happened in the ANI thread or elsewhere; the best response may be silence unless you have a specific question about something I've raised. If you have a very specific, on-topic question about the nature of your block after having followed the links and read

WP:BLOCK you may respond to the blocking admin at the section above, but I discourage you from doing so unless there is truly something about blocking policy or remedies that you don't understand; above all, don't ask why you were blocked or argue the point, that's already been explained. Please don't misunderstand this list of "dont's"—I'm not telling you what to do, just advising you how to avoid making things worse; you're free to ignore any of my advice if you wish to. Good luck!
