User talk:CFCF/Archive 6Revert of Removals without consensusTwo of your three recent reverts are to re-include information for which there is no consensus to include. The "redirect to cigarette smoke tag" and the propylene oxide issue. I would appreciate it if you would self revert and seek consensus per policy SPACKlick (talk) 19:44, 7 July 2015 (UTC) Reversion of no consesnsus inclusionPlease see WP:NOCON for discussions lacking consensus on additions, undo your tendentious revert and make a reasoned argument in the discussion if there is any reason to include the hatnote. SPACKlick (talk) 17:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC) July 2015![]() You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Domestic violence against men. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. GregJackP Boomer! 13:33, 16 July 2015 (UTC) noticeNotice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
June 2015WikiProject Anatomy Newsletter #4WikiProject Anatomy Newsletter #4 Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is the fourth update, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. We've had a quiet time over the last half-year or so, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter and will probably release the next one around the end of the year. If you'd like to provide some feedback, if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list

This issue was originally going to focus on how far we've come as a project. However, that encouraging news can wait until next issue, as there are simply too many changes going on at the "back end" of our project not to write about. What do I mean by "back end"? I mean changes that are not necessarily visible to readers, but may have a significant impact on the way we edit or on future edits. Templates A number of visible changes have been made to our templates. Firstly, the way our templates have been linked together has changed. Previously, this was a small bar with single-letter links. This has been replaced by a light-coloured box contained within all our templates with fully-worded links, which provides links to relevant anatomy and medical templates. This should make life a lot easier, particularly for students and other readers who are struggling with the vastness of anatomical systems and their related diseases and treatments. As part of this, almost all our templates have been reviewed and cleaned up. The previously confusing colour scheme has been removed and colour standardised. The titles have been simplified. References to "identifiers" in the titles of navigation boxes (such as Gray's Anatomy and Terminologia Anatomica numbers) have been removed. Where possible, the wiki-code of templates has been updated to give a cleaner, more standardised, format that is hopefully more friendly to new editors. The cleanup continues , please feel free to contribute or propose templates which need attention. Anatomy infobox Most of our articles have an infobox. Previously, there were 11 separate infoboxes for different fields, such as muscles, nerves and embryology. These have been united so that at the "back end", every template will take formatting directly from the main anatomy infobox -- however at the "front end", there is little difference for readers. This will make future changes much easier -- including adding new fields, formatting, and reordering the contents. Several changes have already been made: infoboxes now link to a relevant anatomical terminology article; contents are now divided into 'Identifiers' and 'Details' headings, making it easier to grasp content for new readers; and new fields have been added, including Greek and UBERON, with several more under discussion. External links An editor has reviewed all our template-based external links. These are the links that often fill the "External links" category, and sometimes used as citations. At least thirty different links sets, with the number of links stretching into the thousands, have been fixed, and if not functioning, deleted. A number of non-functioning dead links (with no archived websites available), and one or two others, have been deleted. This helps keep our 'external links' section relevant and functioning for those readers who want extra information about articles. Wikidata Perhaps our most important change has been integration with Wikidata. This is because of both its current uses and potential future uses. Wikidata is a service related to Wikipedia focusing on storing information. Data relating to a Wikipedia item (such as a muscle or bone, or even a template) can have related "structured" infomation stored systematically alongside it. For example, a muscle can have information about its embryological origin, nerve supply, and the relevant sections of Terminologica Anatomica (TA) stored alongside it. Much information that was stored within articles on infoboxes is now stored on Wikidata, including the TA, TH, and TE fields. An immediate benefit is that Wikipedias in every language will (as they update their own infoboxes, be able to automatically include this information. New data can be entered in a much easier format, and data can be batch entered by bots making future updates much easier Future uses include data visualisation. I personally am looking forward to the day when a reader can view a wikidata-based "tree", clicking mesoderm and seeing all of the derived structures, then selecting the intermediate mesoderm, then Pronephric duct, mesonephric duct and vas deferens. The possibilities of using Wikidata for data visualisation are really quite encouraging! Our next issue will focus on how far WikiProject Anatomy has come in the past 2 years.

I'm no expert; just have an interest in neuroanatomy and Wikipedia. You suggested Cranial nerves' "set" of articles, but that sounds rather broad, since there are 12 (and many branches). Is there any particular/more specific area you suggest I begin? Bush6984 (talk) 22:05, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 7Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Medical ultrasound, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tissue. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I assumed that no discussion = no consensus, but I am willing to drop to the protection and find someone to revert (I'm at my 3 :) if that better serves the interest of the project.

The Pirate BayYou might like to rethink this edit. The article was updated a few days ago after the thepiratebay.am was put on hold.[3] As for "I'm sorry but consensus seems pretty clear" in your edit summary, I don't see consensus either way. That doesn't preclude listing all of the domains, it was just something I thought needed addressing. --AussieLegend (✉) 00:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
It might be best not to keep claiming that there was long standing consensus. Consensus can change, often because prior consensus did not take relevant policies/guidelines into consideration. Further, there's certainly no consensus since June. --Ronz (talk) 01:18, 26 July 2015 (UTC) And you're back to edit-warring again. At this point, I'm sorry I didn't file a edit-warring complaint about you earlier. Can you please stop? It's pretty clear at this point that the links stay out, and it's doubtful there will be consensus to include even one given what's happened. --Ronz (talk) 00:13, 28 July 2015 (UTC) The Signpost: 22 July 2015

Question: why the revert on "Phantom Limb"?Greetings CFCF! I noticed you reverted my recent edit to Phantom limb. Can you explain what you disagree with in my edit? I can see how the paragraph in question seemed contradictory before, but the way I've rephrased it would seem to rectify it. What are your thoughts on the issue?

Disruptive ActivityFrom: User talk:Jeffmcneill
July 2015Your recent editing history at The Pirate Bay shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Electronic cigaretteYou are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Electronic cigarette and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted in most arbitration pages please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.
