DYK for 1970 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games

On 4 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1970 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 1970 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games, held in Edinburgh, lacked day-to-day television coverage by British broadcasters? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/1970 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 1970 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Copyvio clean-up suggestion

Thanks for your help with copyvio clean-up. I just wanted to let you know that if you remove the copyvio and request revision deletion, there's no need to also list the case at WP:CP. The only ones that need to be listed there are complex ones where you elect to use the {{Copyviocore}} template rather than cleaning yourself. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:59, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

@Diannaa: ok, thanks for the feedback, I had tried both approaches in the past but wasn't sure if the list added anything in terms of tracking the revdel requests. I'm happy to follow your advice. Drchriswilliams (talk) 16:15, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Revision deletion requests are tracked via the Category:Requested RD1 redactions. Articles are automatically added to this cat when you add the copyvio-revdel template. The category appears on the admin dashboard and I clean it out quite frequently. so yeah, no worries, no need to list at WP:CP. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Malda Medical College

Hello, You recently reverted the changes I made to the page Malda Medical College. I am a junior doctor of Malda Medical College and know about it much better than you do.So from next time do not revert the change I make. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.110.153.153 (talk) 14:34, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

As I explained in the my summaries, the material that you added was not adequately sourced, unlike the material that you removed. You can have a look at WP:VER and WP:RS to find out more about sourcing. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:57, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Sir can u add population of ramdevra jaisalmer??? Thanks sir Rajesh sharma KG (talk) 23:04, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

@Rajesh sharma KG: Yes, you have correctly identified that there is an issue here. I have put some details about this on the article's talk page. Drchriswilliams (talk) 23:44, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

U are add wrong information that 185 students admitted per year.... No....there are 250 students admitted every year..... I know very well about my college.. Why u remove those things which are edited by me. Rajesh sharma KG (talk) 13:22, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Information within Wikipedia's articles should be verifiable and appropriately sourced. If you are able to provide a reference that supports these claim then I suggest you do so. After I looked at the article in more detail it was clear that there were other things on the page that also needed to be removed, such as material which violated copyright regulations. Drchriswilliams (talk) 13:32, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Mid Level Practitioners

Hi - following the deletion of my previous edit, I have re-worded it. There was no intent to plagiarize as I had cited the source. But I have re-worded and left in the references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24601Valjean (talk • contribs) 16:14, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

British Nationality Law edits?

Hey -- you left me a message claiming I'd recently made undocumented changes to British Nationality Law which you reverted.

I didn't.

Please check your facts before posting messages to people.

Daen (talk) 12:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

@Daen: would you care to point to where you think that I did this? Drchriswilliams (talk) 12:42, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

References and copy edits

I find that I (inadvertently) create a lot of work for you carrying out the references wrongly. I have caused duplication of work. I use the automated references generated by the appropriate URL in the visual editor. Further, I seem to be referencing at the wrong points. I have searched for a policy on this, but to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nossacasa (talk • contribs) 00:53, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

@Nossacasa: It's not a problem. Citations can be formatted in a whole range of different ways- the convention on Wikipedia is to have them in the main body of text rather than the Infobox or lead section. In terms of referencing, best sources are generally those that are independent of the subject and published by an organisation that checks the details. As content gets added to an article it will generally need to be re-ordered to some extent. Drchriswilliams (talk) 01:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Dr Paul Monaghan

Hello, Drchriswilliams, this is Professor PC. I think I continuously forget that I should not put an honorific prefix like 'doctor' or 'professor'. Thank you for reminding me to not put these honorific prefix and I hope you enjoy your last day of 2016 and happy year. - Professor PC. —Preceding undated comment added 14:27, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

@Professor PC: Thanks. I have expanded the lead of the article to include that information. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:43, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Surgeon's Assistant

Can you assist me with the edits for the surgeons assistant page? The instructions are difficult to follow and you keep removing content which is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.185.50.26 (talk) 15:03, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

When I looked into the material added in recent days it became apparent that there are issues relating to material that has been added over a period of more than a year without appropriate attribution. A copyright investigation has been opened to determine what can be salvaged from this mess. The template gives clear instructions about this. In simple cases, offending material can be removed and aspects of the edit history hidden from public view, however the template currently in place is needed for more complex copyright cases.

Prime Academy

Hi. This is regarding your edit: [1]

If you see the citation source [2], it clearly mentions: """ Lalit Kumar, chairman and managing director of Prime Tutorials Pvt Ltd, said, "More than 230 students from our coaching institute qualified. As many as 49 out of the 50 students from the batch of under privileged students cleared the exam with Anand Verma scoring 260. Many students got more than expected marks as bonus marks were awarded for a couple of mistakes in the question paper." Ankit Jha scored 287 and Mayank Kumar got 270.""

wikieditor 18:14, 8 January 2017 (UTC)helloanant007 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helloanant007 (talk • contribs)

I think it would be more accurate to say that Prime Academy get a brief mention in the 14th of the 16 paragraphs in the article, which can be viewed if you scroll beyond the block of adverts that is on the webpage. Drchriswilliams (talk) 18:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Need Help

	Need Help
	Hi, I need help to edit shalby hospitals wiki content but it was reverted by you. Can you please help me to improve content of shalby hospital. I want to update the content of that page. Mukesh8120 (talk) 05:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I need help for content update

Hi, This is Mukesh8120 (talk) 09:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I need your help for content editing, improvement and update. I request you to please help me to update the content of shalby hospital. I am an employee of shalby hospital and would like to improve that page. I appreciate if you help me to improve my content. I have also updated whole content on shalby hospitals' talk page..so please check it. I am new to wikipedia so i don't know too much about its guideline. Looking forward to hear back from you.

@Mukesh8120: Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and has policy about content within articles being verifiable and written from a neutral perspective. I have been attempting to improve the Shalby Hospitals article and part of this involves addressing the promotional material that has been added. There are clearly significant WP:COI issues here. You have now added a large amount of text to the talk page, in a format that gives the impression that it is an article. I would suggest that you revert that addition of that large volume of material. Instead, appropriate use of the article's talk page would be to ask for specific changes or about specific points. Drchriswilliams (talk) 09:56, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Problem is specified in points

Hi Drchriswilliams,

Thanks for your suggestions. I have done changes in shalby hospitals' talk page and problem is specified in points. Now please go ahead to do changes in page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mukesh8120 (talk • contribs) 10:37, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Optometry

Hey there, can I know if the Optometry only represents UK or the whole world? Why are you putting B.optom as a honours course again and again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:b107:93a0:4208:d83f:646e:1b19 (talk) 14:12, 25 January 2017(UTC) It may be regarded as hons course in UK, but not all over the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:B10C:DFD6:5AF3:38:3778:746F (talk) 14:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Information in Infoboxes should reflect the main text of the article. Improvement templates that are valid should not removed without reason, I reverted an edit where this had occurred without any explanation being provided. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:27, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I didn't remove the improvement templates. I was just talking about the Infobox information... In UK there is BSc (Hons) Optometry, but not B.Optom... B.Optom is not recognized as a honours degree, it itself is a specialized degree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:B00C:9737:B9FA:4A6D:4D00:E72C (talk) 14:51, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
