Hello, Gnif global, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

If you are interested in Russia-related themes, you may want to check out the Russia Portal, particularly the Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. You may even want to add these boards to your watchlist.

Again, welcome! Alex Bakharev 13:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs as sources for articles[edit]

Hi Gnif global. I note you have added material to Electroconvulsive therapy and Sleep that is sourced from a blog. In general blogs are not considered reliable sources for Wikipedia articles. I addition your username suggest you have a connection with that blog. Please read our guidelines on conflicts of interest and also be aware that your edits could be considered spamming.Thanks, Gwernol 16:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, no blogs. Only articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnif global (talk • contribs)

That's not all, no self-published sources that aren't peer reviewed in medical articles, and please review WP:COI. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this resource. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnif global (talk • contribs)

Gwernol, if I find an peer-reviewed article from a blog, I must also reference the blog, correct? I must cite the first reference that directed me to the primary source. Or, is that not in the Wiki citation system? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnif global (talk • contribs)

No that's not correct. Blogs are not considered reliable sources. You should cite peer-reviewed articles directly since the peer-review process renders them reliable from Wikipedia's perspective. You can read more about this in our policy on verifiability Gwernol 16:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GNIF, your edit summaries say the article is listed in PubMed; if so, adding the PMID will be helpful. The best way to write those citations is to go to Diberrri's template filler, drop down on the menu to PubMed, plug in the PMID number, and it will generate a cite template you can use. Is that journal refereed? Being listed in PubMed isn't an indication of the level of peer review. Also, once an edit has been questioned or reverted, please discuss on talk rather than re-instating without discussion. See WP:BRD. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:13, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for directing me to that resource. Since I don't want to keep on re-doing this, can I add the Wiki template version to the edits I made? Gnif global (talk) 17:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You could, but it would be more prudent to wait for other medical authors to weigh in on that journal before citing to it; I'm not familiar with it. There's also the WP:COI issue; you shouldn't add your own work or group's work, rather suggest it on talk pages where others can discuss whether to add it. It would be best to wait for other editors to opine. You could pop up the proposed text and the "real" (Diberri) citation on the talk page and wait to see what others say. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:21, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, will wait. Gnif global (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stop spamming Wikipedia[edit]

Because what you are doing is spam. Stop doing it, or your account will be suspended. Paul Gene (talk) 12:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By introducing articles that are freely available, peer-reviewed, and published, it makes no sense what you are saying. I will have to have them reverted. Gnif global (talk) 12:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spam[edit]

Now you spammed four talk pages by placing the exact text on all four of them. Please read the WP guidelines. Paul Gene (talk) 12:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No one is spamming, at least, not I. Actually, I am taking the best approach by asking in the four mental disorder talk page whether nutrition should be added. Take some time to read before your write... It helps... Gnif global (talk) 12:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
