Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 220 of Borg 11:37, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Plantsurfer. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Fennel, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Plantsurfer 12:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

- It is not enough to refer to an entry in Wikipedia - the source must be an external and reliable and preferably secondary source. Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources Plantsurfer 13:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
editHello Machinexa, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Alstonia scholaris have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Declangi (talk) 23:28, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

editPlease do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Datura stramonium. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 17:13, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Wikilinks
editThanks for asking for help with the formatting in your edit on tetrodotoxin. Essentially, using square brackets in the classical editor (rather than the Visual Editor) should do it, and there are a few other little tricks. So, for example:

Disambiguation link notification for June 3
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tabernaemontana divaricata, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages AST and ALP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

cannabis article
editHi Machinexa, I noticed that you recently reverted some edits I made to the Cannabis (drug) article. I had rolled back some of the changes you made. I explained some of the choices I made on the article’s talk page. Please take a look at the discussion there. Thank you, Wallnot Wallnot (talk) 14:41, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- NCBI, also referred to as PubMed and the Library of Medicine, lists all science published in journals, including journals with a poor reputation. Wikipedia has a policy described at WP:MEDRS to limit what can be cited to review articles published in reputable journals. Hence, not cell studies, animal studies, or sadly, not individual human trials. This makes Wikipedia a trailing indicator of what is going on in science. Some articles will have a Research section at the bottom, where less-than-solid research can be presented. David notMD (talk) 20:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
nicotine articles
editHi Machinexa, I noticed you also reverted my reverts on the Nicotine and Nicotine dependence articles. I still do not agree with your edits. Could you please discuss with me on the articles’ talk pages, so that hopefully we can reach a consensus with other editors? Thanks, Wallnot Wallnot (talk) 14:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- The text changes you made were not supported by references that meet the criteria clearly stated at WP:MEDRS, so I reverted all of your edits. Please enter into discussion on the Talk pages of the articles in question before editing the articles. David notMD (talk) 17:23, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- WP:MEDRS means that for medicine/health/diet type articles, references cannot be in vitro research, studies based on animal trials or individual clinical (human) trials. For example, the healthnz.co.nz reference you added is a clinical trial. The science literature often has individual clinical trials with contradictory results, so using individual clinical trial results to support a statement can be misleading. In addition, cannot be websites that are promotional or not having a neutral point of view. What are allowed as references are books and science journal articles, the later restricted to reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and such. What I recommend is that you propose content with references on the talk pages of articles is there is a dispute, so that a consensus can be reached first. David notMD (talk) 20:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- I removed nootropic from the nicotine article because there are no references provided to support this effect. This is not to say it is not true, but verification is required. David notMD (talk) 20:30, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

On my Talk page, I merged the several questions about MEDRS (not MERD). I admit I may have deleted some of the baby along with the bathwater. I suggest creating a new section on the Talk page of Nicotine and there proposing text - with references - that you believe should be in the article. Editors with knowledge of nicotine science (not me) will hopefully discuss it and agree or not. Refs should be reviews. Please remember to 'sign' comments by typing four of ~.

- Yes, much of what you added to Tabernaemontana divaricata in the Modern medicine section does not meet the standards of MEDRS. I deleted some. David notMD (talk) 20:03, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
When to Wikilink
editWikilinking, i.e., putting double brackets [[ ]] around a word or term, is used when there is an existing Wikipedia article. This should be done the first time a term is used in an article, but not subsequent uses. Wikilinks show in red in an article when a word or term is double bracketed but there is no such article. It can be used sparingly if there is a belief that there should be such an article, or if the editor who placed those double brackets is currently working on such an article.

Referencing II
editHi. Looking at 5-MeO-DMT, I see a large number of what we call "bare URLs" as references, many of which are identical. Please see WP:EASYREFBEGIN for how to properly format a reference so it can be verified and maintained by other users, as well as how to cite the same reference multiple times in an article. Thanks. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 07:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks Machinexa (talk) 09:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- I continue to see bare URLs as references. Please learn to properly format refs for science journal articles. A short-cut I use: at https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi type in the PMID number and it creates a ref. David notMD (talk) 22:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- I continue to see statements added to articles that are not supported by the references you are providing, so have again reverted some of your edits. You have been cautioned by other editors to stop adding lists of chemical compounds found in plants as not useful to those articles. My hope is that over time you will improve your editing skills, and thus be reverted less often, but for the present, many of your edits are not contributing to Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to WP:MEDRS, as you recently did at Berberine. You are wasting time of other editors who feel obligated to watch over your edits in order to remove your persistent efforts to add in vitro and animal citations as justifications for adding medical/health content. Asking an editor (me) to look at what you did is no excuse for adding the type of content you have repeatedly been warned to stop adding. NO ANIMAL CITATIONS.

MEDRS, not MERDS

editPiperolactam A
editAs you know, yesterday I edited the article you recently created for piperolactam A. I did that mainly because I got very irritated by the idea that it "is a novel compound .... [that] belongs to the class of drugs ...". Like many natural products, it has probably existed on planet Earth long before humans have and is certainly not a drug in the Wikipedia sense of a medication to which WP:MEDRS applies. No doubt you used these words in good faith after seeing the title of the sole citation (Amin et al.) you initially supplied in your draft article but you need to be aware that "novel" (or "new") and "drug" are weasel-words used by some cynical authors probably seeking their next sponsorship and are usually not to be taken seriously for Wikipedia purposes. As all chemists should know, every chemical is "novel" when first characterised!
I can see from this talk page that you have repeatedly been warned by David notMD and others that our standards for writing about medicines need to be particularly high and even though these standards don't necessarily apply to compounds like piperolactam A, we still need several reliable sources to show they are WP:NOTABLE enough to merit an article. In this instance, I had no difficulty in finding such sources and I hope you will agree that the article today is much better than you left it, albeit still hardly more than a stub. In fact, I'm not sure why Graeme Bartlett accepted the article into Main Space as it then was. Similarly, the article you created on, for example, Conophylline is in my opinion a candidate for deletion in its present poorly-referenced state — but given I know Steve Ley's group at Cambridge did a total synthesis it is certainly noteworthy: something no-one reading the article currently would be able to WP:verify. Given you were motivated to create it, I'm not sure why you have abandoned it in such a poor state.
Bottom line: please consider this a final warning that your contributions to Wikipedia need a) to focus on improving existing articles and b) to use reliable, preferably WP:SECONDARY sources. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Copying Michael D. Turnbull on my comment: I removed the Pharmacology section as premature, given that the one reference used is an in vitro study. Any suggestion that a compound extracted from a plant has medicinal benefits must be supported by published reviews of multiple clinical trials. As it is, the dietary supplement industry is plagued by aggressive marketing of products with weak evidence. I also removed the Pharmacology content and refs (fish?!?!) you had added to Thymol for the same reasons. And I will be reviewing other articles you have been editing. If you persist in adding content that does not comply with MEDRS I will recommend that you be indefinitely blocked. David notMD (talk) 13:46, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for tidying up Conophylline. I have drawn a structure for the Chembox and I've got a few more references to expand the article. I'll add those soon. Note that MEDRS doesn't need to apply to all sources we use, only those that claim a human medicinal use or might be interpreted that way. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:41, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Adding chemical drawings to Wikimedia Commons
editHi again Machinexa.
I answered your question at the Teahouse but on checking today I notice that you have never previously uploaded anything to Commons, so you might like some advice. Basically, the "best" license for Wikipedia is CC BY SA 4.0 which is the one on the diagram you wanted to use. We can't use material that has "NC" in the license as that means "no commercial use": despite the fact that WP is not itself commercial others who are could copy stuff from here.
The Commons upload wizard is accessed "here".. The main rule is to follow the prompts very closely and always be honest! So in the case of that diagram you say "not my own work" and use the URL where you found it to explicitly acknowledge where you got the image from. Then you repeat the CC BY SA 4.0 license. Once in Commons, it helps to add categories, such as "alkaloid" to the file so others can find it. Ping me back here if you run in to any problems.
In general, for chemistry diagrams you should only upload images you firmly intend to add to an article. The correct text to add it appears next to a "W Use this file" icon above the image: see for example "for vobasine".. Although .svg files are preferred to .png ones, I wouldn't worry about that too much unless you intend to add your own drawings. Are you now, or planning to be, a professional chemist? If so you should be learning how to create your own drawings with the proper software. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Chemistry/Structure_drawing for some details of what's available. I use BIOVIA draw, a free download for students and non-commercial use and Inkscape for further tweaks / conversion to .svg.
Your recent edits to existing articles have looked good for the ones I checked, so I hope you will continue to work on more chemistry and seek advice if in doubt, as you did yesterday. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Conophylline
editHi Machinexa
I note that you have been editing Conophylline today. It is on my watchlist and the version I've just seen is at this oid [1]. I note that there are a lot of cases with your recent references for the "Research" section where you've added an access-date but the rendering generates an error because access dates only work if associated with a URL. You need to deleted all the access dates because, for journal citations like these, there is no need to point out when you read the journal: the doi will always link to the correct place and there should never be "link rot".
You are otherwise doing a good job. My only comment would be that you don't need multiple pile-ups of references for the one statement in the (currently final) sentence. Just choose the best references — to reviews that are in Wikipedia terms WP:secondary rather than WP:primary, preferably, or to the latest paper if it cites the others.
Apologies if you were intending to do all that and I interrupted you! Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
Sure, thanks Machinexa (talk) 16:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

editHi Machinexa! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Variants of SARS-CoV-2 that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.

thanks, especially for one word clarification. Sometimes i mark minor which is even not minor. I will try to not mark them as minor. I was editing at night so not noticed I minored B.1.620 Machinexa (talk) 12:27, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

editPlease do not add or change content, as you did at Betaine, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You are reckless in your choice of sources for content on diseases and health. Read and follow WP:MEDRS and WP:WHYMEDRS. Zefr (talk) 18:56, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Betaine. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. This edit and many others by you indicate you are not familiar with English grammar. Practice in your sandbox and ask for help with using English at WP:TEA. Zefr (talk) 18:59, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
