I've G6'd this no-longer-needed project page, as you requested via CSD tag. Before deleting the talk page per G8, are the old conversations on that talk page useful to preserve? Hog Farm Talk 16:56, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

@Hog Farm: the talk page is a redirect, it shouldn't have conversations on it? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:43, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Didn't notice I got redirect, now deleted. Hog Farm Talk 17:44, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Interesting. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:51, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Would you consider removing the WT:RS discussion, or clear your comment so I can do so?

Hi Headbomb . I agree with your comment at WP:RS [1], but think at this point it should be on the editor's talk page as evidence for a WP:NOTHERE block. You may not have seen it, but the editor has been starting multiple such discussions, and ignoring the feedback given. I'd like to remove the discussion thread with your permission. --Hipal (talk) 00:30, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

@Hipal: feel free to archive it. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:10, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I've no idea how to archive it when there's a bot auto-archiving. I've seen far too many problems in such situations to even want to spend the time figuring out how it could be done. Any chance you know how? --Hipal (talk) 01:51, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Seeking feedback for my article

Hi @Headbomb:,

I am a student who is new to Wikipedia. In one of my subjects, I am editing and updating the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement article. I saw that you made a contribution to this article and was wondering if you would be able to provide me with some feedback and help me improve it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by S2102sa (talkcontribs)

@S2102sa: I know nothing of the subject, so I would suggest asking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Trade. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:48, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

@Headbomb:,

Okay, thank you so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by S2102sa (talkcontribs)

Artificial Organs Journal Opening Paragraph

Hello!

First of all, thanks for taking a look at the Artificial Organs page. I just wanted to ask about the last line that talks about the journal's associated societies. I added a separate section that listed all of the societies, so I am wondering if that last line in the opening is redundant. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tortillathehun (talkcontribs) 12:21, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Medip

Note: Source in question. - Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:00, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Can you provide me with a direct link to the section discussing reliability of the Medip Academy? You have only linked to an announcement. I can't find the mentioned discussion and conclusion. I noticed a listing on Beall's List, but also inconclusive. Pinging to Wikiman5676 as well.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 21:37, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@Farang Rak Tham: Feel free to google "Medip Academy predatory" and find plenty of results. Moreover, what we want is sources that met WP:MEDRS, and the International Journal of Community Medicine and Public Health falls well short of being recognized as a reputable journal. Again, if you have an issue with this, feel free to take it to WP:RSN. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:41, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Okay, i see now that much of it has been made on different websites. Still, it is questionable to me to refer to a discussion or listing on the Citewatch page, when so such discussion or listing seems to have been held. Also, the websites you mention all refer to Beall's list, which is inconclusive about Medip, and more importantly is very dated information. WP:NRS (and not WP:RNS, mind you) is only relevant when a discussion has already been held, and I would want to challenge that. No such discussion has been provided by you as yet, so there's nothing to challenge.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 21:54, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
@Farang Rak Tham: Meant WP:RSN, my bad. And Beall's list or not, this still fails WP:MEDRS. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:56, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
