User talk:Kim99

Welcome!

WELCOME!! Hello, Kim99! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself in the new user log and the list of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. Wikipedia is held up by Five Pillars...I recommend reading about them if you haven't already. Finally, it would be really helpful if you would sign your name on talk pages, so people can get back to you quickly. It's easy to do this by clicking the button (next to the one with the "W" crossed out) one from the end on the left. If that's confusing, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a ♪ at my talk page (by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the tab at the top that says "edit this page")...and again, welcome!

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:37, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Lavender oil for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 02:51, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I think you have misread the guidelines about official bodies taking precedence over systematic reviews. Having looked at the talk guidelines I agree that I may have spoken a little too informally, but if I am not mistaken it is appropriate to contest your reading of the guidelines on the talk section, as it is highly relevant to the discussion, assuming I frame my point in a more suitable way? 24.186.25.67 (talk) 03:06, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Not just me, but several editors took part in the discussion about sources on the lavender oil talk page, with consensus established to not use any of the weak sources that have "systematic review" in their titles. Bottom line: editors have to competently judge source quality, WP:CIR. A systematic review of low-quality studies is still a low-quality source not useful for an encyclopedia. The issue has been long-settled, so I will not engage in perpetual contests on sources for lavender oil, which were not worth the time invested to read them. Zefr (talk) 05:24, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
