Hello, it's not spam, it's his conference in Bali filmed by a professional, why did you remove it without even discussing it?

Laurent Gay (talk) 08:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because it looks spammy. Who is the "his" of "his conference"? Bon courage (talk) 08:16, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
J'avoue le début de la conf est un peu brut, je vais voir avec Ghylaine Manet (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Laurent_Gay/Brouillon-Manet) si il y a une autre partie mais je ne pense pas, les conférences c'est en général 30mn, c'est Ghylaine qui a assisté a sa conférence et elle a payé un professionnel qui l'a filmé. Apres la vidéo je peux charger la video sur commons wiki si ca vous arrange. Laurent Gay (talk) 08:34, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bof. There is no indication this apparently random amateur video on a commercial site is reputably published, relevant or even legal. And Francine Shapiro was not a man. Please make any further comments at Talk:Francine Shapiro. Bon courage (talk) 08:38, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Repeat edit and removal of information and reputable sources - Eurycoma Longifolia

Hi there, I would like to clarify on what basis you remove new information and reputable citations referencing ACTUAL clinical trials which have been conducted on the topic? Various journal articles have been cited here from the National Center for Biotechnology Information with credible data and conclusions. I'm confused as to how these sources are considered "fringe," my friend. I will be reverting your revision once again, feel free to add some "non-fringe" sources to the article please. Parker.Josh (talk) 14:26, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Clinical trials are not generally reliable for biomedical content; please see WP:MEDRS. CAM journals like EBCAM are not usable for anything much on Wikipedia. Bon courage (talk) 14:52, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please note there are additional credited sources that substantiate the information. Please see:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4085925/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4085925/. New information and research should be included and updated on such topics surely? Parker.Josh (talk) 15:03, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not when it's weak/fake from poor sources. Wikipedia reflects accepted knowledge from reliable sources. Your intent to edit war is noted. Bon courage (talk) 15:07, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"My intend to edit war" displays your intentions on this platform. You are welcome to read the citations I have provided and inform yourself on the topic. As far as your "edit war" goes, you can do that on your own. Add value to the topic or not. That's my concern. Parker.Josh (talk) 15:31, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Roseto effect

I'm not sure if this is a medical or sociological thing. I recall reading about it in Outliers, the book by Malcolm Gladwell. There are also a few medical sources and more. I didn't want to deprod the article with discussion first, but can you reconsider your own proposed deletion? Bearian (talk) 13:02, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It might be an idea to ask at WT:MED. My concern is there are apparently no WP:MEDRS sources on this supposed biomedical phenomenon. Bon courage (talk) 13:32, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

February music

(vexatious: I have been accused of canvassing, and hate it.) To spare you the trouble to look up Satie: this made me smile. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:38, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These infobox discussions can often go pear-shaped. Bon courage (talk) 09:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happier without them. When the community accepted one for Mozart, with good arguments, I hoped the ordeal was over ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are thousands of articles in Category:Wikipedia articles with an infobox request. I don't want us to spend so much time fighting over a few disputed ones. We could be spending that time adding infoboxes to the articles where people have actually asked for them. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:07, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea, and I keep adding them - to articles I write, articles I meet - but, as another participant expressed, breaking the situation seems also a good idea. Your wonderful comment really put things in perspective, - I still smile ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Purinergic signalling

I'm not clear on why you removed my expansion of the lead section. I was merely paraphrasing statements already in the body in an attempt to make the lead a comprehensive summary. I added no new content and nothing fringe (that wasn't already in the article.) Thanks Littenberg (talk) 01:45, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss at Talk:Purinergic signalling. If acupuncture is going to be aired it will need to be contextualized. Bon courage (talk) 06:06, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

March music

On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:18, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
