Tip of the day...

Same titles, different meanings

To distinguish between pages that would otherwise have the exact same title, disambiguation is needed. Unless one meaning clearly dominates, the article should be replaced with a disambiguation page, e.g. Pan, which links to the different meanings with a qualifier in parentheses, e.g. Pan (mythology) vs. Pan (moon), or using a more specific natural name, e.g. cooking pan. If there is one dominant meaning, (cat), add a link to a disambiguation page‍—‌cat (disambiguation)‍—‌or to the secondary meaning if there is only one, on top of the article.

Hello, I'm WikiLinuz. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Obsessive–compulsive disorder have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --WikiLinuz (talk) 03:08, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

I am a professor who does research on OCD and added some diverse sources, including peer-reviewed research studies I did or that I found about topics like herbs I didn't see covered in the article (researchers with whom I have no affiliation). It looks like the sources I added were removed, including peer-reviewed research studies I looked up on topics not covered currently in the article. That seems problematic as it reinforces particular views on OCD and its treatment. Dmfennell (talk) 03:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
