Enjoying Wikipedia's style of editing

Please excuse me if you know all this stuff (or don't care) but I thought it might be useful to welcome you once again to Wikipedia. It seems you've drifted into some controversial areas (e.g. Fred Goodwin) that aren't a typical editing experience, because they center around issues at the cutting edge of notability and reliable sources etc. Most of Wikipedia isn't like that: for example, my most recent effort was to improve the Taxor article, which is basically about an issue that got resolved 153 years ago. As a new article on 21 March it had no citations and was a candidate for deletion, now it has seven scholarly references and is IMO just about perfect. The trick is to think like a postgraduate student who cares deeply about the quality of an article but has absolutely no vested interest in the final conclusion: so you avoid being seduced by personal bias and the need to attack other editors. In your case, if you care too much about Fred Goodwin, maybe you should help improve unrelated articles like John Dalton or Music of Mauritius instead? You'll probably have much more fun that way. - Pointillist (talk) 23:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library (talk | edit)

Get free access to research!

...Support Open Access...

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

-== Former Chartered Accountant ==
-Have you evidence he's resigned his CA status? If you don't please stop editing in the allegation. If you do, provide a citation.--[[User talk:Scott MacDonald|Scott Mac (Doc)]] 16:29, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
-[[WP:BLP|Biographies of living persons]] must include citations if any material is (or can be considered) contentious. If you continue to insert "retired" without a citation, you will be blocked. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 16:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
-:Specifically, you said "it's a matter for the record". In that case, we'll need to see the record. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 16:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
-:Whether he's retired as a banker is simply a matter of point of view, and expression (given he retired from his current banking job)- it is an editorial judgement. But to say he's retired as a chartered accountant, would require a reference showing he'd relinquished his membership of the ACA. I see no such referenced.--[[User talk:Scott MacDonald|Scott Mac (Doc)]] 16:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
