some more welcome

hi Gklambauer - I saw your edit to the Toxicology article, so came to say hi. We really need more expert toxicologists working in WP, so I wanted to come welcome you. Please do read WP:Expert which is a useful essay for folks like you, and please consider joining Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Medicine (or at least starting to watch its talk page, Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Medicine.) Project Medicine also has a "toxicology task force" that may interest you, Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Medicine/Toxicology task force.

This place can be somewhat bewildering for new users - feel free to ping me, or to write here (I am "watching" this page now), if you have any questions. Again, welcome! Jytdog (talk) 12:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Reply by Gklambauer Hello, thanks for noticing. The article Toxicology really need substantial revision and labour. I will look at your suggestions, thanks again!

Great! i saw you struggled a bit with how to reply. let me explain how we talk to one another... it takes a while to get the hang of this place. when you post a comment on a talk page, "sign" your comment by typing four tildas after it, like this ~~~~. When you do that, the Misplaced Pages software converts that into a "signature" with your username and a datestamp, as you see appearing after my comment above and will see after this one. Also, in Misplaced Pages we thread comments in a discussion by indenting them... see how mine is indented? you create one indent by placing one colon <nowik> : </nowiki> at the beginning of your comment, and the wikipedia software converts the colon into a tab. One colon makes one tab, two colons make two tabs, etc, like this:
that has two colons
that has three colons.. and you can see how that threads a discussion. when there gets to be too many indents, you can "outdent" your comment by placing {{od}} in front of your comment, like this:

and it keeps the threading going. good luck! Jytdog (talk) 12:58, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

also, please be sure to read WP:MEDRS which is our guideline for sourcing health-related content! Working in WP can be strange for scientists when they first come here... this is not like writing a paper or even a review article... we are writing an encyclopedia, and we are editors not authors. what we do, is summarize secondary sources (like reviews), and we stay very far away from primary sources (papers publishing experiments and their results). it takes some getting used to -- it is a different "head". again this is explained pretty well in WP:Expert.

I am a leading expert in toxicology and the wikipedia articles really need substantial updates. I feel offended by your comments - this not the correct way to talk to me. I demand an apology! Gklambauer (talk) 20:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

I have said that we really value experts but it is problematic when they use WP to promote their own work. Let's look at the data. Your edits to date:
* cited Linz and one other HALFYOU
*did NOT cite your work NOTYOU
So 15 substantial contributions, 2 on talk, 1 fixing a redirect and 2 adding links, so really 10. Of those, 4 were mostly about you, 3 you cited your work and others, and 3 were not about you at all. so 80% of your edits, are citing yourself. That is a bit problematic. You made three really generous contributions that didn't cite your own work at all. So, my comment was not completely crazy. Again, super great to have someone of your caliber here! I hope you continue to contribute, and generously. Please don't be offended and i am sorry to have offended you. I really do hope you continue to contribute.
