Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

James Rutka

Your user name, Deptofsurgery, suggests you may have a close connection to this topic. Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. If this applies to you, please do not make further direct edits to the article. You may suggest edits on the article's talk page.

Your name also suggests that more than one editor may be using this account and/or that the person editing under this account may be editing on behalf an organization, perhaps a department of surgery at a hospital. If either one of these is the case, please read Wikipedia:Username policy. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

April 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 02:17, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Deptofsurgery, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to The Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ahecht (TALK

Proposed deletion of The Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto

The article The Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Sub-department of University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine without adequate evidence of independent notability. Also, older edits had major copyright issues so even if this subject does meet WP:Notability, WP:Blow it up and start over is appropriate.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:14, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Rutka

Hey Deptofsurgery, thank you for working on the bio for Dr. Rutka. As the article is structured, it breaks some rules on Wikipedia about maintaining a neutral point of view. If you'd like some help on making it more neutral, feel free to leave a message at my talk page. We'd also welcome help from people in the dept of surgery (esp Dr. Rutka) with some of the articles on Wikipedia. Here's a short video on how you can help. Please visit and leave a message at Wikiproject Medicine Ian Furst (talk) 23:00, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ian Furst: this account is blocked due to a "username block." The editor may be editing under a different name or without logging in, but he probably will not see this message. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:35, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

You will need to explain a few things before unblocking could occur - primarily around how you intend to edit in the future. You have created inappropriate articles, you have promoted an entity, you have violated WP:COI, you have edited in a non-WP:NPOV manner, you have failed to use reliable sources - all things that would also lead to blocks. What is your intended way forward? the panda ₯’ 18:31, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
