[edit] Hello
Just wanted to say welcome to Wikipedia, and to see if you'd like to share with me your goals for the infant formula article. Any particular reason why you care about this article? You can reply here if you want: I'll watch this page. (I may not see responses until tomorrow morning, however.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. I think there's a lot of "missing information" on that page. For example, it lists all these diseases that are related to formula feeding -- but leaves out the context, like you have to have more than a million breastfed babies to prevent a single case of leukemia.[1] (Are you familiar with the number needed to treat statistic?) I suspect -- given that you've somehow managed to get ClueBot's attention (it's just a piece of software) -- that you'll want to avoid deleting anything for a while. But there's no reason that you couldn't add the missing information, if you were so inclined. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Doh! I wish I read your note earlier :( Ahh well, lesson learned (I hope :)). I didn't know about the number needed to treat and number needed to harm pages (or the NNT calculator) but they're both excellent. They kind of look like a better way to express the "small scale effects" idea. A million babies just to reduce a single incident of leukemia? Wow. I wonder if the state of the art in epidemiology is even capable of teasing out causality when it comes to numbers that small (I hope it is but that's a very small number....)65.7.144.194 (talk) 15:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Your edits to Infant Formula
Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia. I recently reverted a lot of your edits to the Infant Formula article. I did this because it appeared to me that you are deleting major portions of the article and rewriting others contrary to wikipedia's policy on WP:NPOV. When the neutrality of an article is disputed, the preferred approach to resolving the dispute is by reaching a concensus on the article's talk page. When I reviewed the talk page for the Infant Formula article, it appeared to me that despite an ongoing discussion a consensus had not yet been reached, yet you were still deleting very large portions of the article and rewriting others. If you feel my reverts were unfair, please let me know either here or on the Infant Formula article's talk page. Thanks and, again, welcome to Wikipedia. croll (talk) 22:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

65.7.144.194, you were blocked for too much reverting. POV and NPOV in the article are not relevant here. When you ask to be unblocked, you would help yourself if you say you have read about 3RR and you now understand the problem and won't do that anymore. Instead, if you revert and someone reverts your revert, you will talk it out on the talk page. --Una Smith (talk) 02:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
{{unblock|I'd like to apologize for violating 3RR. I've read WP:3RR, WP:EP and perhaps most importantly, WP:EQ. Sorry all, this was my first real foray into editing a non-technical article and I got carried away. I won't do it again and will get better at contributing to Wikipedia.}}
[edit] RE: Your comment
Please see WP:TALKPAGE. Also, I have a complaints system, for future reference. IMHO I believe the article is better with that section. Sorry if I am wrong. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN tell me a joke... 23:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to "but in" but using the unblock template more than 2 times a year can get your talk page protected. Just a reminder ;)--I am sooooo cool! 15:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
