As I understand it (and I'm novice but not naive) your reasons for an edit must be stated.
The fact that you deleted another contribution at the same time that you "updated a reference" and changed it's preceding wording is questionable, i.m.o.
Additionally, I must have failed to see where the electronic cigarette article was noted as a health or medical article, but if it is and you are implying by the note you left on my Talk page that the additional paragraph and reference (in a different section than the "updated" ref change you made) was not a "high-quality" source, then it would have been proper to note that, rather than omit mentioning it.
I see by the Electronic Cigarette edit history that between you and QuackGuru (who for all I know may be the same person) are the defacto editor-owners of most of the article. And, it's a total literary and organizational disaster, with NPOV issues.
Calling it a medical article for the sake of obfuscation when undoing citations is disingenuous, at best. I'm a retired technical writer & editor, so I'll be around quite a bit in an effort to restore my previous faith in WikiPedia, fwiw. Page monitoring against vandalism is one thing, Gatekeeping another.
Medical content requires medical citations. Does not matter if the article is "medical" or not.
Not every global jurisdiction, nor every person considers them to be Medical Devices. No doubt this is why the article appears so contentious, and suffers from the large numbers of edits. Please be so kind as to direct me to how Misplaced Pages suggests handling this, if you would. Is a vape device considered a Medical Device without nicotine or flavoring? Who makes "the call"?Jd4x4 (talk) 23:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Correct. That is why I stated it the way I did. "For all I know..". That was intended to alert you to how it may appear, outwardly. Apologies if I've offended you, I'm generally unaware of Wiki-jargon and it's connotations.Jd4x4 (talk) 23:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Introduction
Thank you for reviewing my edits on the buprenorphine and the coronavirus articles. I just wanted to introduce myself as someone who also believes in reducing misinformation out there. While I can't watch articles daily, I hope to continue contributing to medical articles. That being said, if you feel there's something that's of urgency or prime importance, please feel free to reach out to me. I'm new but love to learn on the fly.

Hi James. Thanks for your feedback. I went through the links you mentioned on my talk page, but they don't seem to provide sufficient clarity on which sources are reliable and which are not. In any case, on my talk page, I've replied to your message. I hope I'd be allowed to add facts about resting the eyes. I noticed someone had reverted your changes. Would just like to let you know that it wasn't me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navinwiki (talk • contribs) 14:23, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
It's a review: "To estimate youth and young adult vaping prevalence, we conducted a search of the literature through December 2017 using PubMed to find nationally representative surveys on youth and young adult vaping, particularly studies of trends. The search strategy consisted of the following keywords: (‘e-cigarette’ OR ‘electronic cigarette’ OR ‘vaporized nicotine’ OR ‘vaping’) AND (‘youth’ OR ‘young adult’ OR ‘adolescent’ OR ‘student’) AND (‘prevalence’ OR ‘use’). We also considered US surveys that collected information on tobacco use for either youth or young adults. We restrict the analyses to results from nationally representative surveys for youth and young adults aged 15 through 25, where smoking initiation and the progression to more established smoking generally occur." EllenCT (talk) 04:38, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
When you decide whether something is a systematic review, do you look at whether they performed a review systematically, or whether the PubMed data entry clerk checked the box? EllenCT (talk) 04:58, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
So they looked for "publicly available" data and than analysed it. They did not do a review of exiting research on the topic.
What part of this did I misunderstand? Are all template redirects discouraged by some guideline documented elsewhere? Or perhaps was this not technically "hyphenation," and therefore I should have used {{R from alternative punctuation}}?
User:SoledadKabocha. Text on Misplaced Pages loads at different times which means buttons move around. So when you go to click one button you hit another by mistake.
Acknowledged, and I will be more diligent in checking such things in the future. Most of those 12 minutes were spent composing this post + taking care of other things IRL; I realize that this caused some unnecessary hassle. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 06:18, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Just a few seconds ago I realised that you are the only admin on enwiki who is trusted with the PCR user flag. It must have required a lot of trust of the community —usernamekiran (talk)21:12, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
I'm messaging because 1.) you probably know other editors in the medical community who specialize in this field, and they may find it useful. 2.) 'Cancer Worksheets' may be worthy of a WP article someday?
