Note

sections seem too wide, if can help:

I don't know what you mean by "sections too wide". But I've removed some table markup, which made the whole page look odd. If that's not what you meant, you can revert my edit. Maproom (talk) 14:40, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New editors etc.

First, thanks for the thanks, which led to me (of course) visiting our user page to satisfy my curiosity. Which led to me reading the discussion from 2016 about why new editors think they should immediately create new articles.

I've had a related question in my mind for years, which is "Why do so many of the welcome templates direct people straight to Your first article, as though the very first thing someone should do is create one?" Much like the average programming textbook gets someone to write "My First Program" on page 2.

I can't help thinking these two things might be related.

(On a separate note, I don't think you've got ⅝ in your collection.) Musiconeologist (talk) 14:03, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Musiconeologist. It's good to know that people sometimes look at my user page — and I thank you for the ⅝, which I've now added. Whenever I see your name I register it as "Musicoenologist". I wonder if you've read Beautiful Evidence by Edward Tufte? If not, I recommend it. Maproom (talk) 22:55, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't, but I think I've heard of it. Isn't it something of a classic where data visualisation is concerned? It's definitely one I'd read if it fell into my hands.
The ⅝ is just a long-press in the keypad I use on my phone, along with ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¼ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅞.
It's definitely -neologist, to do with a somewhat insane writing project I was involved in when I registered. But now I've ventured into experimenting with writing templates, I'm cursing its length every time I want to use one of them. Musiconeologist (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ayurveda

Please read Ayurveda. Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 03:25, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Polygnotus: I have already read Ayurveda. I even contributed to it - though that was almost ten years ago. Thank you for clarifying, at the Teahouse, that your criticism of Michael D. Turnbull was for being too tolerant, not for being too bitey. Maproom (talk) 07:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, no, its not criticism of Michael D. Turnbull, who is probably a lovely person (I dunno but it is statistically likely). I just disagreed with 8 words I see this as an implication of WP:BITE. Disagreeing with a thought someone had in a fraction of a second is no criticism of the person as a whole of course. I disagree with a large percentage of the thoughts I've had. Polygnotus (talk) 07:57, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, my mistake, you didn't criticise Turnbull, you criticised what he had written. But his words I see this as an implication of WP:BITE were, I assume, accurate - that was indeed how he saw it. He thought you were criticising his earlier posting as bitey. I saw it that way too. Maproom (talk) 08:37, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One day we will create a language that can only be interpreted in a single way, and all art will die. Polygnotus (talk) 08:40, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GcMAF

(Posting moved from top of page to bottom.)

I saw your response to my GcMAF question in the Teahouse. Thank you for your response! I was concerned about the references I used since they could easily start an edit war if I went ahead and updated the GcMAF Page. But the one that shows completion of the Phase 1 Clinical Trial is posted on the National Library of Medicine website. This listing would be a second hand post by a U.S. government official and would be validated before the completion status of a clinical trial is posted on an official government site. The fact it is on this site shows it is a registered clinical trial with the government (FDA). So it would be authenticated by the government office that manages this website. It would not be directly updated by the Sheba Hospital or Efranat Ltd, I don't think. So what do you think? I'll get to the other reference I listed next after we discuss this one.

Thanks again for your interest and look forward to your comments. PageMaster (talk) 01:14, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
PageMaster, as you've already been told at least twice, WP:MEDRS does not allow the citation of original research papers in articles on medical topics. Maproom (talk) 14:06, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, a listing in the National Library of Medicine stating a fact is not original research. One of the other references on the GcMAF page lists a reference in the National Library of Medicine. There are other references to research papers also. So, if an outside publisher wants to repeat the details or findings of an original study, it is OK to use it as a reference. This was done in the GcMAF reference section. This would make my use of the AACR reference valid since they publish their proceedings. We can't have double standards. Now what do you say? 2600:1700:C670:BB90:8DE3:4B92:FD25:BEF9 (talk) 20:26, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've given you my view twice already. If you don't like it, why do you keep asking for it? Have you read WP:MEDRS? Maproom (talk) 23:25, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I briefly read through it. It is quite lengthy. Look at my response on your page and let me know your answer. Since you are a man of science, I hope your response is positive. The GcMAF page needs to be updated or deleted. It has conflicting information on it. If it has no effect on cancer, why are the Japanese trying to corner the GcMAF market with their process patents. (The GcMAF protein itself cannot be patented.) The Japanese also use it as an adjunct therapy in their private clinics which are expanding into Europe. Also GcMAF can fill in a gap in current cancer therapies. Cancer therapies ignore the TAMs in the cancer microenvironment. They have given up on them as generally pro-cancer. Well, the purpose of GcMAF is to convert these pro-cancer TAMs into anti-cancer TAMs epigenetically via the ZEB2 gene. But the immune system cannot make enough GcMAF internally once cancer moves beyond the embryonic strage, so supplementation is required to make a difference. This information is being hidden from the public. PageMaster (talk) 20:54, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
