Hi Odd Höglund (SLU)! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Citing yourself
Dear Odd. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to Wikipedia. Per the WP:SELFCITE section of our conflict of interest guideline, can I please ask that you refrain from citing your own papers and linking to your own website. Edits such as [1] and [2] are not suitable and give the impression that you are promoting yourself. Thank you SmartSE (talk) 21:40, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to cable tie. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

You were asked not to self-cite above. You added another self-cite four days ago which was reverted. Today you added yet another one. The whole passage was written by you clearly for the purposes of promotion, complete with external links to your website [3] in 2014. It was removed by User:Smartse in May 2015. You put it back in again [4] in May 2016. I have today removed the section entirely. Please do not ignore this warning again. Persisting with self-promotion could lead to you being blocked from editing.
Your original contribution gave the impression that these devices were in use for human surgery at a time when you were still conducting animal trials. There is still no independent sources assessing the product or showing that it is in general use. On medical matters we require careful sourcing for claims (see WP:MEDRS). Please respect the guidelines of this site. SpinningSpark 11:02, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
You just reverted. First of all, you have a conflict of interest. Our guidelines require you to declare that conflict when you edit. You should refrain from directly editing the article, and instead make suggestions on the talk page. Secondly, you are now edit warring which is seriously disruptive. SpinningSpark 12:28, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- Spinningspark, the last time I checked the guidelines, declaring the conflict on your user page was sufficient. I believe that the rule was that conflicts of interest could be disclosed on user pages OR talk pages OR edit summaries, not everywhere or all the time. I think it's important to not overstate our standard rules; this is a complicated enough place already. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:04, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
- The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:05, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
THANK YOU! I am now on the participant list of WPMED. Odd Höglund (SLU) (talk) 13:36, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
References
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.
- 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
- Then click on "Automatic" or "Manual"
- For Manual: Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details, then click "Insert"
- 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) 17:49, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
