Notability of The Mutaytor

edit

A tag has been placed on The Mutaytor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ronbo76 19:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cortical homunculus

edit

You recently removed a link from the See Also section of the Cortical Homunculus page related to Alice in Wonderland Syndrome with the claim that they are unrelated. I contest otherwise because I directly experience the Cortical Homunculus regularly as an apparent size distortion of the body. Unlike Alice in Wonderland syndrome, the distortion is not simply an exaggerated sense bigness or smallness, but instead reflects precisely the proportions described by the Cortical Homunculus. Although I cannot validate this with external sources, as a former migraine sufferer, I believe the two experiences may be related. They certainly share similarity both in sensation and in the fact that they occur before sleep, mainly (though not exclusively) in childhood, etc. At the very least they are analogous experiences, and consequently it is perfectly valid to link to them via their respective See Also sections. As such I'm restoring that link which you removed. 91.214.169.69 08:40, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Undeleting on BLP page

edit

Hello, I just wanted to mention in regards to your restoration of reverted material at Ryan Kavanaugh... I see that you addressed my revert in your edit summary, but following WP:BLPUNDEL we need to find consensus on the talk page before the material is restored. (I've made the same mistake before.) Since the info you added doesn't seem to fully derive from the cited source, I have removed it per WP:BLPREMOVE, but let's talk at the discussion page. We might be able to find a good middle ground with better sourcing or better phrasing, etc. Popoki35 (talk) 13:32, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Little project

edit

I noticed your edits to Insecticide; thanks.

In case you're willing to lend a hand, Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine is trying to get at least one ref into every medicine-related article. The list is getting shorter, but we've still got a bit more than 100 to go, and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/November 2024 ends in just less than a week. If you could add a source to even one or two of them, it would really help us out. Here's how to help:

  1. Pick an article from the list. Most of them are organizations, people, or other subjects that do not require any specialized medical knowledge.
  2. Find at least one reliable source and add it to the article.
  3. Remove or update any maintenance tags at the top of the article.
  4. Edit the list to mark off the item or leave some notes about it so the next person will know that this one is done. (Try editing the page in the visual editor, because it's much easier for tables.)
  5. That's all!

Also, if you ever need help with medicine-related articles, please feel free to put Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine on your watchlist, and to join the discussion whenever you'd like. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:31, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
