Do you have time to discuss proposed etiologies behind PSSD a bit?

if you have some biology background I really want to discuss a few things FallingPineapple (talk) 08:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can we put a table with all the research papers at the end of article?

be it primary, secondary/meta-analysis?

Is it against policy to do that? FallingPineapple (talk) 08:25, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. (t · c) buidhe 06:41, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thanks for the note- in hindsight, I definitely should have been more careful re: citing material in general. I also got a bit carried away with the "research and potential etiologies" section; I thought I would be okay including published research that seemed potentially relevant as long as I emphasized that no actual link had been drawn between each research finding and PSSD, but I can see how doing so would fall under OR/speculation and thus be inappropriate. I've made some tweaks to the article, and added some content back with modifications that I hope will resolve the original issues; I'll go over the article more thoroughly in the near future to make sure it's compliant with Wiki policy.Xardwen (talk) 06:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Post-finasteride syndrome has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Post-finasteride syndrome. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 02:08, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Post-finasteride syndrome (June 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This draft is for a title that was previously an article, but was then cut down to a redirect. If this draft is accepted, the history should be preserved. Do not tag the redirect for G6.

Reviewers should check the history and verify whether there was a consensus to cut the article down to a redirect, or whether the action was taken boldly without discussion. If there was a consensus for the cutdown, do not accept this draft without verifying that the draft improves the article or that consensus has changed. If in doubt, please discuss.

This draft is a draft on a subtopic of an existing article, Finasteride. Discussion as to whether a separate article for the subtopic is warranted should be on the talk page of the parent article, Talk:Finasteride.

Please discuss the suitability of creating a separate subtopic article on the talk page of the parent article. Please resubmit this draft if there is rough consensus at the parent talk page to create the child article, or with an explanation that the child draft satisfies either general notability on its own or a special notability guide.

The title Post-finasteride syndrome is currently a locked redirect to Finasteride. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1066#AlexBRN_POV_Pushing_and_Obstructive_Editing. Please discuss whether to unlock the redirect so that this draft can be accepted, at Talk:Finasteride. If there is consensus that this draft should be accepted, this draft should be resubmitted.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Post-finasteride syndrome and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Xardwen! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 02:44, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Post-finasteride syndrome (July 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Finasteride. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Articles and drafts on this topic have a long and problematic history. See the discussion at WikiProject Medicine. The recommended approach is to merge this content into Finasteride, and possibly then discuss a split. In the meantime, merge this content into Finasteride.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Post-finasteride syndrome and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

License tagging for File:BasemAlShayeb.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:BasemAlShayeb.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:30, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Xardwen. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Xardwen,

I'm not stating you have a COI, I'm just posting this notice on the User talk page of everyone who has participated in this AFD as the discussion has gotten unfortunately personal. I do wonder why you uploaded this photo, File:BasemAlShayeb.jpg, that seems like a promotional photo when you are trying to get this article deleted. It seems like your attitude on the article has changed over time. In August, you were working to improve this article, what happened? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:36, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for messaging- the discussion has indeed gotten rather personal, though I personally find it rather hilarious as well XD. I actually would prefer to step back and let others (ideally more senior Wikipedians) handle the situation; this was why I opened the RfC and AFD discussions. I personally feel that the article violates Wikipedia's rules on notability and self-promotion and thus should be deleted, but ultimately it shouldn't be up to me as an inexperienced editor to decide.

As for the photo and my previous efforts to improve the article- my general attitude regarding this sort of thing is that an article should be made as complete and thorough as is reasonably possible, and if it is at that point still lacking justification for being kept on the site, then it should be nominated for deletion. I also reasoned that if the article was going to stay around, it might as well feature a publicly-available photo of its subject. I did and do believe the article should be deleted, but I figured I would try to make a good-faith effort to polish it as much as possible before starting that conversation.

Regarding whether or not I have a COI: as I've stated elsewhere, I have no personal or financial connection to the subject; I have never met them, or been in the same room with them, or been at the same conference with them. I do not and have never worked with them, or for them. I know nothing about them aside from what is publicly available.

However, I do not expect you (or anyone else) to simply take me at my word - and nor should you. This is the internet, after all : ). Xardwen (talk) 04:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Xardwen, if you have never met, nor been in the same room, nor been at the same conference, as Basem Al-Shayeb, then how did you notice that the article exists, editing it as the first biographical article you've ever dealt with as far as I can see? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because I have access to the internet, and came across a mention of their discoveries, which led me to Google them and discover that they had a Wikipedia article about them - which I found to be patently ridiculous, not only because their work is not (in my opinion) impactful enough to merit a biography on Wikipedia, but also because said biography showed every sign of having been written by its subject, in such a way as to deceitfully exaggerate their accomplishments. I decided that I simply could not let this stand. Xardwen (talk) 03:50, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

September 2024

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Basem Al-Shayeb, Talk:Basem Al-Shayeb, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Basem Al-Shayeb, and Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Basem Al-Shayeb) for using Wikipedia as a battleground with a disruptive conflict of interest, based on checkuser data and your behavior.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The partial block has been replaced by a topic ban. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:38, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement topic ban

The following topic ban now applies to you:

You are topic banned from Basem Al-Shayeb, broadly construed.

You have been sanctioned for using Wikipedia as a battleground with a disruptive conflict of interest, based on checkuser data and your behavior.

This topic ban is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. Please read WP:TBAN to understand what a topic ban is. If you do not comply with the topic ban, you may be blocked for an extended period to enforce the ban.

If you wish to appeal the ban, please read the appeals process. You are free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:37, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Alex O'Connor

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Alex O'Connor requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. —C.Fred (talk) 03:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
