Tip of the day...

Where to write about current events

The current events portal is used to describe current world-wide events of note, not just in politics, but also in science, culture, technology, sports, entertainment and many other areas. The information in question should be added to any relevant articles as well. However, Wikipedia does not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories (use Wikinews for that). Instead, the in the news section on our Main Page mentions and links to entries of timely interest that are (and this is crucial) nonetheless encyclopedia articles that have been updated to reflect an important current event. Non-Administrators can suggest items or changes to this Main Page section by editing the candidates page, from which administrators will update the live template from time to time.

Hello, I'm WikiLinuz. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Obsessive–compulsive disorder have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --WikiLinuz (talk) 03:08, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

I am a professor who does research on OCD and added some diverse sources, including peer-reviewed research studies I did or that I found about topics like herbs I didn't see covered in the article (researchers with whom I have no affiliation). It looks like the sources I added were removed, including peer-reviewed research studies I looked up on topics not covered currently in the article. That seems problematic as it reinforces particular views on OCD and its treatment. Dmfennell (talk) 03:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
