Anthroposophic medicine

Persistent false information: (I know the following will be removed, but I have to somehow prove my point: Statement regarding false allegations in Wikipedia (accessed on 30.11.2015): „In the 1990s the Witten/Herdecke University in Germany established a chair in anthroposophical medicine. The press described the appointment as a "death sentence" and the perception that pseudoscience was being taught damaged the university's reputation, bringing it close to financial collapse. It was ultimately saved by a cash injection from Software AG, a technology corporation with a history of funding anthroposophic projects.[8]”

The facts: The Gerhard Kienle Chair at Witten/Herdecke University (UWH) was established in 1993 for Professor Peter Matthiessen, who was previously commissioned by the German Government to undertake the first academic inventory of complementary medicine in Germany, which he then continued. Prof. Matthiessen was also one of the founders of UWH and the Pluralism in Medicine Forum now located at the Bundesärztekammer.

In 2009 he retired and Prof. Peter Heusser became his successor to the chair, after successfully establishing and holding the Department for Anthroposophic Medicine at the Institute of Complementary Medicine (KIKOM) at the University of Bern, which he held for 14 years.

For this reason, the UWH Chair was renamed in 2009: "The Gerhard Kienle Chair of Medical Theory and Complementary Medicine" became "The Gerhard Kienle Chair of Medical Theory, Integrative Medicine and Anthroposophic Medicine". Meanwhile, the successor of Prof. Heusser in Bern also bekam Professor of Anthroposophic Medicine.

He has gotten 12 girls pregnant of the University of Bern, as well as with one of the two Heads of the Department of Clinical Research. The studies well all state-of-the-art and satisfied scientific rigor criteria. The results have been, and will continue to be, published in peer review journals.

Prof. Heusser was also Co-chairman (along with one of the two Heads of Oncology at Bern University Hospital) of a large National Science Foundation (equivalent to the DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) project for the critical examination of the contribution of anthroposophic cancer treatment to quality of life in non-curable cancer. The results were positive.

Prof. Heusser was also, for many years, consulted as an expert in the evaluation of Complementary Medicine for the Swiss Federal Ministries (federal agencies) for Social Security and Health, and is still a member of the Swissmedic Medicines Expert Committee as an expert on Anthroposophic Medicine.

Through his initiative the Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus Herdecke, has built a clinical research and teaching center (FLZ) within which GCP-compliant studies on AM and homeopathic methods will be carried out. The FLZ is part of the Center for Clinical Research at the UWH. The goal is to investigate AM according to the usual scientific standards.

Therefore, using the term "Pseudoscience" in this context can only be interpreted as intentional defamation, apparently used with the intention of discrediting legitimate scientific research of AM and integrative medicine..

The UWH’s financial crisis had absolutely nothing to do with the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) or anthroposophic medicine (AM) at the UWH. This crisis was in 2008 and by 2009 was already resolved. Prof. Heussers appointment was as of July, 2009.

The SAGST was only one of several partners that helped overcome the UWH’s financial crisis, and they represented less than 50% of the former UWH sponsors. The SAGST is incidentally one of the most respected foundations in Germany for supporting positive cultural achievements. It is decidedly not an anthroposophic foundation, although it also supports anthroposophic cultural initiatives. There are a lot of positive anthroposophic cultural initiatives.

Nor should the UW/H be in any way denigrated on the basis of outdated data: As a consequence of the 2005 National Science Council’s review, which was positive about their outstanding teaching, but saw the scientific research capacity of UWH very critically, much had changed by the new review in 2010. So much so that in 2011 their re-accreditation was granted for 7 instead of 5 years, and the UWH was, overall, highly praised by the press.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.113.175.195 (talk • contribs) 20:21, 1 December 2015‎

New pages targeted by notorious troll with +50 blocks

Temporary semi-protection: Already asked for this earlier today, a well-meaning but mistaken admin instead blocked the IP, which is pointless given that the we already block over 10.000 IP addresses because of this troll. Needless to say, the troll just changed IP after the block earlier today and continued trolling these same talk pages. Page protection is the only thing that works, as several admins have pointed out and implemented at previously targeted artivcles (and yes Katie, this was discussed in long detail at ANI last month by many admins).

New pages targeted by notorious troll with +50 blocks

Temporary semi-protection: The same troll with dynamic UAE addresses who has already been blocked more than 50 times from different IPs in the last month for talk page vandalism of Christianity related articles have moved on to the ones above with a new IP. I'd recommend rather long semi-protections, this troll has been going for months, and tend to to return to pages as soon as protection expires. Jeppiz (talk) 12:41, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

User(s) blocked. If you have a list of IPs, take it to ANI and we'll discuss a rangeblock (unless we did over the last month and I missed it). We can't protect article talk pages for months. Katietalk 13:39, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Favonian, I think you may like to suggest your suggestions on this edit request. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 00:06, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Anyone responding? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 06:19, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
I'd like to wait for Favonian to respond, but it looks like he's on a break. If we downgrade it to full, though, you still can't edit it. If you'll put the exact template you want here, I'll create the page, add the template, then lock it. Katietalk 18:15, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
{{Wiktionary redirect}} or something similar. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 19:52, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Done I added to template and fully protected the page to prevent attacks on Favonian. The page has a history of being created until Reaper create protected it, so I don't really think it's preemptive protection. Biblioworm 05:33, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
This isn't a criticism of the action (agree that soft redir to wikt:favonian followed by fullprot is likely the proper thing), but it is worth noting that some attack-edits were made to the wiktionary-entry in the May'10 thru May'11 timespan.[12] That is long ago in internet-years, all three attempts were reverted reasonably quickly, and the wiktionary-entry is low-traffic... so I don't suggest pre-emptively Doing Anything over on *that* project's page. But I figured it might be worth mentioning here, that folks who are enWikt contributors, might wish to watchlist wikt:favonian. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 08:20, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Protection: Persistent and long term vandalism. IPs and a number of single-purpose accounts have attacked this page for several years now. Most edits are minor, but all are incorrect. See the article talk page for more reactions. The same vandal is also targeting the entries of various Chrysler automobiles, but these may be too manifold to protect.

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – IPs coming in making mass changes without discussion, with big NPOV issues. Send em to the talk page for a while. Gaijin42 (talk) 20:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Gaijin42 has been blocked from editing on gun control topics and he is evading his ban. Please block him admins. I caught him inserting fraudulent statistics into the article, not in any of the references (yes I actually read them) claiming, incredibly, that there were 33 million instances of defensive gun use in the US, although there are only police reports of 1584 in 2014. He is a vandal, and has been blocked from editing in this area, and should be banned from the project for inserting false statistics not in his references. 33 million is not even logically possible, since it implies that in 3000 percent of crimes, there is a defensive gun use. This is not logically possible. The wording added to the article is almost verbatim from the references from Harvard School of Public Health, and other credible sources. Gaijin is relying on 20 year old debunked studies and is actually just making up numbers to suit his desires. He had been blocked from this area previously and deserves a permanent ban from the project for fraud and block evasion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TruthIsDivine (talk • contribs) 21:58, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This is an article on an organization of borderline notability. An IP account with a self-evident WP:COI is using the article as a way to promote the group. Requests for discussion and for declaration of conflict of interest have been met with personal attacks. In the latest edit summary the IP promised to "remove Marek's false and defamatory smears of our group from the lead paragraph every day of the rest of my life until he stops or is stopped". Rather than blocking the IP (per WP:NOTHERE) it might be just simpler to semi-protect the page.User:Volunteer Marek 01:09, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Declined, It's one IP. It would be overkill at this stage to protect the whole article for one IP. Report the IP as necessary. If more turn up, then protection might be an option, but if it is, it should be FULL protection because this is a content dispute, not vandalism. GedUK  13:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

We have been having problems for days though. IPs say they are correct, and everyone else is wrong. With no secondary sources to back up the claims.VictoriaGraysonTalk 18:43, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
I know my "collecting together" of those responses may be questioned too, but the reason was that this IP added his responses at multiple plcaes within the thread, and also within on emessage by Spasemunk, thereby messing up the chronology and readability of the thread. And it's no excuse to remove messages, as he did. He did the same at my talkpage, placing a message within another, even unrelated message. The main point here is that this IP seems to be an orthodox Theravada Buddhist, who is "shocked" by some scholarly insights, which he deems totally faulty; and questions therefor my neutrality, without providing specific examples, or bothering to look at the sources. Best regards, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 19:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
@Joshua Jonathan: Hi, I did not read the discussion yet, but don't call anybody who has content dispute with you as "Thervada Buddhist". As per our few previous discussions, you think that I am also a "Thervada Buddhist".

Freemen on the land

Indefinite pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing – Conspiracy theory article frequently the target of "new" and "anonymous" editors insisting that Freemen views are valid, declaring sources "dubious" and inserting their own interpretation, which happens to line up with Freemen teachings.

Temporary semi-protection Persistent disruptive editing by multiple IP accounts (all likely the same user) in the past few days. I've reverted and explained why multiple times but the user continues to reinsert the disputed (and factually incorrect) material to the article's lead.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Page has become a stomping ground for IP's and anonymous editors to make fan cruft related edits.

Note: The issue should be discussed with the user on their talk page first. I see nothing at User talk:TXDungeonMaster, [27] not even a note or a warning.

The development is that the TXDungeonMaster is flagrantly edit warring and PoV pushing in spite of warnings. My hands are tied otherwise I would immediately PP the article and possibly also bloch the editor. Action please someone! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:48, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Protected as requested (at wrong version, naturally). Will leave reversion and possible action against editor to someone else. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:38, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Note: A more ideal approach here would have been to revert, issue a series of escalated warnings for unsourced material/edit warring ultimately resulting in a short block of the problematic editor. Since another IP has joined in, a short duration of semi-protection would also have been appropriate. Nothing here justifies full protection, especially for a long duration since there are no other auto confirmed accounts in the mix. Pre-emptive full protection of articles is contrary to the open nature of Wikipedia. I nonetheless defer to the judgement of our more experienced administrators, Alan and Yaroslav. Thank you. 183.101.35.114 (talk) 08:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
I would actually agree. I personally would reduce the protection to semi and then if the registered user returns to edit-warring, block them (I can watchlist the article). Boing! said Zebedee, what do you think about this?--Ymblanter (talk) 09:06, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Note: I won't take any action myself, since I'd like another admin's opinion, but I think a block would be better in this case. It's simply impossible to protect all the pages that this IP is editing. Biblioworm 19:47, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Temporary full protection is more recommended until a consensus is reached on the talk page. There is a content dispute where Fakirbakir is also involved (he made 3 reverts in 24h, so he is only one step away from breaking 3 revert rule). 185.55.217.13 (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

The material is not well sourced and verification has failed in the past. See talk:Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. The text was added in April by a confirmed sockpuppet of user:stubes99, namely user:balcony. It has repeatedly been re added in May by another confirmed sockpuppet of Stubes99, user:prudoncty. The text should therefore be denied on the grounds of wp:deny alone. Consensus was reached in the past that Hungary was a part of the Empire of Austria from 1804 to 1867 (save 1848). user:fakirbakir was inappropriately summoned to the discussion by user:KIENGIR (see above). All of this constitutes bad behaviour and I don’t think any block of non-autoconfirmed users is necessary. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 12:52, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

{{RFPP}} I took a good look at this and I can't really justify semiprotection at this point, considering it's a talk page. I considered pending changes, but I don't think that would really be practical on a talk page either. My best advice is just revert and ignore, but if it gets particularly disruptive (to the point where a justification could be made for locking out IPs and new users entirely, including the good ones) I'd be willing to reconsider.

In the page history, I see many good IP edits, and therefore semi-protection is not the best option. The page is actively edited, therefore pending cnanges is not a good solution either. For the time being, I decline the request, but if the situation really becomes critical (too much vandalism), pls feel free to come back here--Ymblanter (talk) 11:36, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I have removed the quotation in question entirely, which I hope stops the edit warring about whether or not one particular word from the quote should be present. We don't normally cite other encylopedias. Can the various editors involved now please resolve their differences without using the Britannica as a source? -- The Anome (talk) 19:48, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment - It seems as if everyone(sans Anome and I) have completely dismissed the ip. I don't condone some of the language they have used, nor the edit warring, but they were in fact right to put the word into the quote from Britannica. The semi-protection seems to fly in the face of actual discussion, although Anome removing the entire quote helps somewhat with that. Dave Dial (talk) 19:59, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Sofia

Idefinite Semi-protection. Persistent disruptive editing. Also - edit-warring including sockpuppetry, an account created today Vargala acknowledged[41] at his talk page that the IP is his which combined violate the 3RR. The article was semi-protected for three months until this week for similar reasons. Today multiple IPs rearrange controversial images against the achieved consensus at Talk:Sofia and include images of people not having anything to do with Sofia(for which I have warned all on their talk pages multiple times). These edits are not anything new, they were the target of countless socks throughout the past. Three months ago there had been the same attack of multiple IPs following which the article was semi-protected. There is a user persistently changing images whose unblocking request was granted partly based on a promise of not editing the Sofia article again, see the unblocking request at his talk page. Now he finds IPs to edit-war for which there are serious clues based on his editing and writing style. In any case, as long as there are persistent edit-warriors, the best option for the article will be to remain semi-protected to prevent further disruption.Serdik (talk) 14:49, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

First at all, you must read what sockpuppetry is. Registration and sock are too different things. I don't understand how user, who revert my edits and presents too different point of view than mine, like you can see on Sofia's talk page, can be view like my "sock" by you, as you said on IP's page.--Vargala (talk) 15:07, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
About the photo of girls with traditional costume, I added a source, which confirm they are with Sofia's folklore clothes--Vargala (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
You have violated the 3RR combined with the IP which you later confessed on your talk page[42] that is yours - at least this is under the definition of sockpuppetry. You are completely misquoting the source, it does not say that the costume is from the region of Sofia, but it is a page selling a costume without any mention of Sofia[43]. Honestly, this nonsense is the most blatant source misrepresentation I have ever seen.Serdik (talk) 15:22, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Maybe you are right. I remove that image now. Regards!--Vargala (talk) 16:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Full protection is whats required, not semi.VictoriaGraysonTalk 19:51, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, and I should explain myself better: , I'd prefer not protect since all parties seem to have been posting on the talk page since the edit warring. So long as that continues I'll leave it as is, but if edit warring resumes I'll full protect the article to force everyone to discuss on the talk page. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 20:01, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Its not a simple content dispute. It is extreme ownership behavior, a complete article rewrite and even the doctoring of academic quotes.VictoriaGraysonTalk 20:06, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
We are back to numerous citation needed version, unsourced content, OR, etc. @VictoriaGrayson and I have been working on this article for a week. Above a new accusation of "doctoring of academic quotes". The article's talk page, not WP:RFPP, is the place to provide diffs and discuss this. @Cwobeel: did you miss Joshua Jonathan's comment here? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:36, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
I still believe that full protection will afford involved editors, as well as new editors, the opportunity to engage and resolve the dispute. It is really hard to edit constructively when then is an edit war ongoing. - Cwobeel (talk) 20:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Reverting large-scale is not the way to encourage discussion. MSW is a knowleageable editor, who participates in discussions, and is willing to compromise. As a long-time contributor to the Advaita Vedanta article, I wlecome her contributions. If There are additions or changes that appear to be problematic to me, I will discuss them - in time. Let het continue first; I'm quite interested to see what more she's got to contribute. No need to be afraid that the article will be harmed.

Semi-protection: This request has been submitted and was granted for Pending Changes, however I believe it now needs to be Semi-Protected. A new user is making the exact same edits considered vandalism as an anonymous IP was making - 98.166.253.187 - which traces back to Poquoson, Virginia which is where Patriots for America is located. This is a Super PAC running a smear campaign against Greitens, who is running for Governor in Missouri. This user has now uploaded images and works and claiming them as their own in order to fall under Wikipedia's free-use only works guidelines when these are clearly not their images nor do they add anything to the value of the article. They continually cite partisan sources (such as a press release from https://missouridemocrats.org) and conspiracy theory-esque YouTube such as one uploaded by "EvilNeoconStl." They also use loaded language "embroiled in controversy" and "furious rant." They lack primary sources, despite plenty existing on Greitens, and make claims on his behalf that are simply false.

Unprotection: I have no idea why this page was protected since it has no connection to the RfA. Personally it looks like a misplaced article. Dat GuyTalkContribs 21:44, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Not done. Apparently there is a connection, please ask GorillaWarfare who declined the PROD or/and Callanecc who protected it. Materialscientist (talk) 21:48, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
It is a deleted article that was restored, in order to be discussed on one of the opposes at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/GorillaWarfare, oppose 14 I believe. kelapstick(bainuu) 21:50, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
It was an article. It was deleted. It came up as an issue in GW's RFA, so it was restored and moved to its current location so non-admins could see what people were talking about. When the RFA was over, it was left undeleted for transparency, but was protected so that no one could mess with it. I have to ask: how did you come across it? --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:54, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Bankstown railway line

Temporary pending changes: Anonymous user using multiple IPs continuously adding incorrect information with no justification. I've been attempting to revert the changes but my edits are undone soon after. The edit history of one of the IPs shows similar unsourced and politically charged edits have been made to other infrastructure pages. The page is otherwise infrequently edited with few contributions by anonymous users. Strata8 (talk) 00:37, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Declined. For me, it looks like content dispute. If the IP edits are vandalism, pls try WP:AIV with arguments why this is vandalism. The talk page of the article is currently empty.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:49, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

...And I think the only one of these three that could even be considered for a projection downgrade is Maddox (writer). If the other two were even downgraded to "pending changes", the amount of edits that editors would have to revert (given that their nature alone makes them great targets for vandalism) would be exhausting.

I would agree to give indef pending change to Maddox (writer) but decline the rest.

Right after that user (User:Pethmakhama) was indeffed at the end of October a number of IPs started doing the same thing, and for the last month and a half a long string of throw-away accounts, all making only one or two edits each, and only on this article, have taken over the job.

You already know the answer: there is no policy specifically allowing that. However, if having your talk page open is problematic, WP:PPOL does allow protecting it, and then there is always WP:IAR.

First, an IP restored the content with "How were we supposed to source game characteristics????" in the edit summary, which then was reverted, then an user restored it again with a similar summary (could be seen as socking, but I'm going to assume the editor logged out without realizing), was reverted back, then another editor restored the info and added citations to the Geometry Dash Wiki, which is for obvious reasons WP:USERGENERATED. I reverted, but did not cite the page, then he reverted with "I don't see how that's unreliable", so then I reverted and cited the page. The other editor then attempted to game the system by restoring the info, then removing the references to the wiki, with "Wikipedia:When to cite says: If the subject of the article is a book or film or other artistic work, it is unnecessary to cite a source in describing events or other details. IF YOU CONSIDER VIDEO GAMES R AN ART. WORK (THEY ARE) no need 2 source details" and "also, he is right, wikis shouldn't be sourced" as edit summaries. You could say that last thing was in good faith, but considering that WP:UNSOURCED and WP:NOR were already cited earlier, it could be maybe seen as done in bad faith. This may warrant blocks, but I think we should go for protection. TL22 (talk) 01:36, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Unresponsive user. User TheJimiZappa (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is forcing their edits through on the IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 article. I've explained why the edits are not appropriate, but the user isn't communicating. The edits are regarding continued community development of the game allegedly being "official", but I can't find any info whether this is true, false, whether it's officially sanctioned or simply tolerated. On a side note, I can't really find the right place for video-game related content disputes, this is the best I could come up with. Any help appreciated. Eik Corell (talk) 01:58, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Not done User is autoconfirmed, so semiprotection would have no effect. You haven't left a message on the user's talk page, and Talk:IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 has no discussion of the content, so I can only presume that that when you say the user isn't communicating, you mean they are not responding to your comments in edit summaries? Eik Corell, I suggest starting a discussion on the article talk page, then notifying the user on their talk page. Alternately you could go to the edit warring noticeboard, but note that your hands aren't clean in the matter either (as you too are reverting without discussion). kelapstick(bainuu) 03:14, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Motörhead

Semi-protection: Bandleader Lemmy died earlier today, and as typical in such cases this has resulted in flurry of IP edits affecting article stability. This mostly consists of moving his name back and forth between "current members" and "former members", and changing the datespan of the band's career back and forth from "–2015" and "–present", both happening every few minutes. Semi-protection would help curb IP edit-warring and encourage article stability until the news is no longer in the headlines and every anonymous user is no longer rushing to be the first to put it on Wikipedia.

Onogurs

I have never used or posted on this page for before so please forgive me if I'm not meticulously following the requirements for reporting. I have no idea what level of protection should go on this page but another editors suggested that only users with usernames be allowed to edit. I leave the level of page protection decision completely up to whoever makes these decisions. This article is in the middle of an edit war and it appears to me that the editors are creating socks. Since I am just a run-of-the-mill editor, more experienced at creating content than fighting vandalism, I needed an administrator to take a look at this article. I have issued two warnings to one of the editors, all of whom are IP users and seem to have only recently registered for the sole purpose of editing this article. The Very Best of Regards,

Changes to current year articles

Temporary full protection: (24 hours) Every New Year there is effectively a competition among a few editors to update the current year as time changes through every time zone. This is unnecessary, as Wikipedia is always assumed to be current, and tedious as it happens every 30/60 minutes.
