ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Duplication

Do not insert the same information into two different WP articles. Since we have an article on Triciribine , all we need in the company article is a link to it. Trying to put in the same extensive detailed text twice is an editing technique that looks like promotionalism. DGG ( talk ) 05:50, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

As all of your work has been on two pharmaceutical companies, their related people, and their products, it is possible that you may have a conflict of interest. If so, please see of WP:COI policy, and also our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure DGG ( talk ) 05:50, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

January 2016

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Marlborough, Massachusetts may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

The [[biotechnology company [[RXi Pharmaceuticals]] is headquartered in Marlborough.

Need for third-party sources

As the message from User:DGG above points out, your editing has been focused on a small number of interrelated pharma companies, researchers, and entrepreneurs. These articles are all sourced with footnotes to the researchers' own publications, to materials on the companies' own web sites, and republished press releases. None of these are considered independent, third-party sources and therefore cannot be relied upon to establish the notability of the subjects. It is especially important that there be strong third-party sources here, where there is a reasonable concern of a conflict of interest.

If notability cannot be established using high-quality, independent sources, the articles will have to be deleted. Beyond this, it is important to have sources that demonstrate that people in the field other than the companies and the researchers themselves consider their results to be solid.

Thank you, --Macrakis (talk) 21:00, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also call your attention to WP:MEDRS. The purpose of that guideline is to require that medical claims be based upon recognized and accepted current knowledge, rather than upon the possibly premature or aberrant claims of individual research articles. Obvious this is difficult with new drugs that have not reached common use, and articles must therefore be very carefully worded. That a claim is made in a published article is not usually sufficient without confirmation, preferably by a recent authoritative review article.

I would slightly modify what Macrakis said about the researcher's own publications: a peer-reviewed article can be cited to establish the fact that it was published, and as a reference to the content in that article. But it does not serve to demonstrate the notability of the person. For the way citations to peer-reviewed article do work to establish notability of a scientist, see WP:PROF. DGG ( talk ) 22:25, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we disagree here. I said "researchers' own publications... are [not] considered independent, third-party sources and therefore cannot be relied upon to establish the notability of the subjects". --Macrakis (talk) 23:02, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
