Hello, Doc James

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Sionk, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Management Sciences for Health, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Sionk}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@Sionk: I contested the PROD because I found what might be an independent source. Here's the diff of my revert, and the edit summary contains the details: [2]. I still think this might result in "delete" at AfD, but I think it has to go through that process. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jim - you protected the article 12 years ago. It seems the pp should be released now, and can be monitored for any disruptive editing. Thanks. Zefr (talk) 00:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sore throat (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Invalid and unnecessary disambiguation page containing the primary topic and only one other topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Hi Doc James. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, my apologies if I'm not. I'm writing to you because of this edit. User ԱշբոտՏՆՂ is my bot (most likely the system didn't recognize it as a bot because the word "bot" is in Armenian). ԱշոտՏՆՂ (talk) 22:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:ԱշոտՏՆՂ thanks. Your board has made positive medical edits. Yes we missed the bot bit when generating the list. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doc James, but when ever?! It must be a mistake. --Frognall (talk) 22:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Poor IT WP! I am not a doctor of medicine; I only made 53 bibliographical edits in a single general article. The statistics are wrong, Doc James; perhaps it would be better to limit the thanks to the top ten editors. --Frognall (talk) 09:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will reply on IT WP. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doc James, is it possible to write this text below e.g. in "Brain tumor", "Glioblastoma" or "Anaplastic oligodendroglioma"?

"Research It was discovery that neoplasm communicate with each other in a large network, exchange substances necessary for survival, and thus can avoid the effects of radiation or chemotherapy. Network communication also plays an important role in the spread of the disease. The tumor cells are even connected to healthy nerve cells and receive direct signals from them – this way the tumors can grow faster. The investigated mechanisms not only offer fundamentally new explanations for the very aggressive growth of this type of tumor. They also offer approaches to new therapies – to stop the growth of brain tumors and make existing therapies more effective. Thus, the disruption and even destruction of tumor cell networks becomes an entirely new therapeutic principle in oncology, with the first clinical trials based on these findings."^[1]

Would summarize it further. Source is reasonable. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc James I reduced it a bit and then wrote it in 3 pages. It was deleted. Wname1 (talk) 12:47, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to be forthright and say why it was deleted? DMacks (talk) 13:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DMacks This text “Remove copy from https://www.heidelberg-university-hospital.com/12052022-german-cancer-award-goes-to-top-researcher-from-heidelberg” resulted in 2 (Anaplastic oligodendroglioma and Brain tumor) by user DanCherek deleted it. In the case of glioblastoma, this text "Reverted 1 edit by Wname1 (talk): Opinion and speculation with no good source; WP:CRYSTAL on potential for therapies" by user Zefr deleted it.
