March 2020

Thanks for your contributions regarding information on the COVID-19 outbreak in New York. I noticed your first edit summary and decided to take the initiative to create the article about Elmhurst – it's here. Please feel free to expand the article as you see fit.

Disambiguation link notification for May 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Second Avenue (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Reference formatting

Your edits here today did not provide all details of the sources. Please use a template to format your references. WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
Then click on "templates",
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. Zefr (talk) 15:58, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war in the article George Floyd protests; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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. Do not break the three revert rule. Edit Warring may lead to indefinite block. Dilbaggg (talk) 07:54, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was editing the article while you were inserting the same content into the article over and over again so fast I edit conflicted. I'm going to check the talk page, and if there is still no consensus for it, you should start a discussion to get consensus instead of reverting repeatedly.Gammapearls (talk) 22:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

George Floyd protests

Since you added material back to George Floyd protests, please redirect the articles that had similar information, so that we do not have two similar articles. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what this is about, consider raising this at the article talk page. Gammapearls (talk) 21:58, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your question to me

Re [1] I'm afraid I don't see how your question is appropriate. I urge you to focus on content and work collaboratively with others. --Hipal (talk) 03:41, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hipal: Shouldn't you be starting content discussions on the article talk page instead of here? I don't necessarily check this page so don't expect me to see what you write here. Gammapearls (talk) 16:39, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This page is for discussions with you.

Do you understand why your comment to me is inappropriate? Why did you make it when you clearly know that you should have been attempting to gain consensus on the article talk page? --Hipal (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

COVID-related edits

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in edits about, and articles related to, COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
