If you have privileged access to web pages...

The "perfect" Wikipedia article is built on solid research (remember to cite your sources). Contrary to popular belief, not all information is available for free on the Internet. Some research is only published in scientific journals and books (ask your library for remote lending services); some material is available only in commercial, password-protected electronic databases. If you have access to useful research material, please add the relevant information to Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange, a central portal to find Wikipedians with access to such resources. Remember we can only use facts from sources such as these, not a particular copyrighted expression thereof.

If you are a qualified user you can request access to the databases of paywalled resources proctored by The Wikipedia Library. Qualification usually involves having 500–1000 main namespace edits and 6–12 months tenure editing on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Life Extension Advocacy Foundation

[edit]

Hello ElenaMilova,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Life Extension Advocacy Foundation for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Disclosure of employment

[edit]
Information icon

Hello ElenaMilova. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Life Extension Advocacy Foundation, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:ElenaMilova. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=ElenaMilova|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Footnote format and reliable sources

[edit]

Hello Elena. I noticed you were adding sources to the Life Extension Advocacy Foundation article but they weren't quite formatted properly. Help:Footnotes and Wikipedia:Citation templates will give you some guidance on how to add citations that are written correctly.

Also, please have a look at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). Medical topics are subject to particularly careful scrutiny; sources of dubious or unknown provenance, primary sources and self-published sources made from user-generated content may be rejected. That is why I repeat my advice that you limit your edits to this topic to suggested changes on the talk page. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:58, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Drm310! Thanks for your kind advice. I will double check the formatting of the citations. I added one citation from TED.IDEAS and another one from a Russian edition telling about our stance in pro-longevity dialogue; the other reference, namely, our blog, was already there, I only moved it down the list and changed the name for its link. I must note, that our blog is not giving medical advice (we are not a medical service provider and are not licensed to do that), it is telling about the scientific research in the field of regenerative medicine and links to the original scientific articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and placed in Pubmed. There are interviews with the researchers, a good share of them about studies on aging in mice or cells. There is also an ideological content, such as why we should consider aging a disease, what is the opinion of the academia on this issue. In any case, your warning is greatly appreciated. I will read the materials suggested and will try to be most careful. ElenaMilova (talk) 16:46, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
