Adoption

Hi there, I'm here to offer adoption. I have experience in almost everything, from fixing typos, links, and references, to fighting vandalism, to writing and starting articles, to very long debates and wikidrama.

Some of my main work is in the Israel-Palestine conflict articles, the Current events portal, and some environmental pages, though I would be able to help you in any field, even if I didn't know much about it. I also have a B.Sc. in Agriculture, which seems to be where your interests lie. I'm on wikipedia very often and would always be able to respond within 10 hours, if not 5 minutes.

Let me know what you think, feel free to turn me down or ask another adopter, a full list of adopters can be found here. Passionless -Talk 02:43, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited American rabbit, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Imperial, Rex and Dwarf (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Refactor of discussion on animals and antibiotics...

Hello, when you replied to my comments on animals and antibiotics you mingled your replies into my words. Because I was having trouble keeping the voice straight, I refactored the discussion. I do not think I changed the meaning of anything either of us said, but since I moved things around so much I thought that I would seek your approval of what I did. Could you please check it?

I am entirely aware that what I wrote is biased. I asked in a lot of places for sources. Two of you have come along and said that I should use better sources. If you know of sources then please share and I will use them. Searching in PubMed is not as easy as you suggested - see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=livestock+AND+antibiotics+AND+Review[ptyp]+AND+%22last+5+years%22[PDat] for example. Does anything strike you? To me, this looks like criticism of the practice which is more of what I wanted to counterbalance. I know nothing about animal journals and have limited access to articles anyway. If you helped me find sources then I would integrate them. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:57, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks for adding content to this article. For articles on medical topics, and this is probably one, community guidelines are to add a citation after every sentence. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, we depend on the quality of the citations and not the voice of the authors to manage quality control. If you have trouble formatting citations then I would always do cleanup for you, but please, if it is possible provide a citation for every sentence as best you can. Sentences without citations are trouble and subject to deletion and I want to minimize controversy here by having all information come from good sources. I am going to put more work into this also!

• • Hey - you're welcome. I'll be adding references to what I've already posted over the weekend, and will be paying closer attention to referencing as I go. Agreed there is a lot of reason to be clear and accurate about this. If you could look at the suggestions I made on the talk page re:title, I'd appreicate your feed back & thoughts.Kerani (talk) 18:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure what is best. I replied and will work on the article a bit this weekend also. I am still thinking. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:25, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I went through some sources today and I thought these were interesting. I had a lot of trouble - complete trouble, actually - finding any papers which address concerns of microbial resistance and livestock and took any position other than that they were very serious. I cited an AVMA FAQ but that is hardly scientific publishing, and I followed up on some other leads but did not find the opposing position statement I wanted. The quality of the article will depend on the quality of the sources. I would appreciate any direction you can give me to a good source which backs whatever position you take. If I had one paper then I could follow its citation and get other papers of a similar perspective, but I have not found that first paper. Thanks. Also, what do you think of the sources I listed? Do they seem reliable to you? I hope so; they are just a bit one-sided I think. Reply on that article's talk page, please. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:36, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
