Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Withania somnifera, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please read WP:MEDRS for the quality of sources needed on medical topics. Ayurveda journals are quackery, and not used on Wikipedia. Zefr (talk) 21:27, 30 January 2019 (U

Zefr I cited Memorial Sloan Kettering's meta-analysis [1], which you have quickly rolled back. Hardly quackery. I fully intend to reinstate my edits careful to avoid any "Ayurvedic journals" you may take issue with. If you could please be more specific which sources you take issue with then perhaps we could have an evidence-based dialogue rather than allow for editorializing. This Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine is a peer-reviewed publication that meets the standards you have cited.[2]Digeridoodle (talk) 22:47, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  1. ^ "MSK".
  2. ^ "Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine".
After you read MEDRS, you'll see that the two sources you cite above do not meet the quality the encyclopedia expects. A systematic review of completed, high-quality clinical trials is needed, but does not exist, to my knowledge. Best also to take up any discussion of source quality on the article talk page to allow the input of other MEDRS-informed editors. Thanks. --Zefr (talk) 23:18, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zefr I also took this conversation to the talk page. The article you seem to have issue with is a double-blind placebo controlled study reviewed in the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, which according to Wikipedia is a peer-reviewed journal that meets the MEDRS standards. Similarly, you acknowledged yourself on that talk page that the meta-analysis published by MSK was a valid source, and yet you have repeatedly rolled back attempts to cite it. Thanks for the reply and I look forward to a civil dialogue. Digeridoodle (talk) 23:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Withania somnifera. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

Work through the talk page for WP:CON and be careful about WP:3RR or you will be blocked. Zefr (talk) 23:32, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zefr I would also ask you to engage on the Talk page in question rather than rolling back all edits without substantive arguments for why they are invalid. I started a thread on the talk page, although since you have elected to disallow any of my content there will not be much context for the discussion.

Answered also at Teahouse. MSKCC is not a meta-analysis. Individual clinical trials are not considered reliable sources. For extravagent claims (WS and cancer) new extravagent evidence, not a speculative review. David notMD (talk) 20:33, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Digeridoodle, you are invited to the Teahouse!
