Antimatter weapon

On 21 February 2021 you made a comment at Talk:Antimatter weapon about refocusing the article on fiction. I just removed most of the real-life content as original research, which was largely unreferenced and for which I could not find a single reliable source. You can improve the finctional content now, provided you do not make an indiscriminate WP:IPC list. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 06:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchism

Hi Arlo Barnes,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

We also have a live cleanup drive, if you'd like to participate, and a mailing list if you'd like to be notified of upcoming edit drives.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 22:28, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptogen talk topic

Hello - on my talk page, you said, "You reverted my edit with the message "A talk page is not a blog or social media site for nonsense", but I don't see what's nonsensical about indicating a topic-relevant primary source about which secondary sources suitable for mainspace might be found. Isn't that what talk pages are useful for?"

I reverted this edit because you did not follow WP:TALK guidelines to propose a specific improvement to the article, with a WP:RS source. The rule is "article talk pages exist solely to discuss how to improve articles; they are not for general discussion about the subject of the article."

there was no proposal for improvement offered
there was no WP:RS source provided
the commercial website you provided suggests you believe it is a reliable source of information about adaptogens (it is not; it's spam nonsense) and is WP:PROMO, i.e., the main intent of the website is to sell products. Zefr (talk) 02:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe it's a reliable source or I would have put it in the article. But then, I think an 'adaptogen' is a meaningless woo-marketing buzzword, and the site is an example of a particular bee buzzing that tune. The fact that a famous person is involved is really the only reason I think it is a notable development as far as the subject of the article is concerned. Arlo James Barnes 03:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly agree. Your response indicates you saw the conspicuous woo nature of the website, but your comment about Anderson isn't a basis for notability. I don't think there's any scientific training in her career history that would indicate she knows anything about adaptogens or nootropics (or why they're actually not effective), other than being gullible and selfish enough to use the terms for deceiving her fans and customers to market her products.
