Scam warningIf you are visiting this page because someone claiming to be me contacted you asking for any payment of any type, it is not me and you are being scammed. If they are threatening to delete or take other adverse action against some article, they can't actually do that and you should not under any circumstances pay them any money or further engage with them. See also this scam warning regarding the Articles for Creation process and editors who edit for pay.

As I frequently work at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I am "aware" of all the various areas covered by discretionary sanctions, and this notice may be considered evidence of awareness if enforcement is requested. It is not necessary to leave me notices advising me of such areas.

RFC SBM - clarification

Hi, I was wondering if you could clarify the closing summary at Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#RFC Science-Based Medicine. Specifically, it seems that the summary leaves a lot of ambiguity about which articles are considered SPS and which are not. My sense of the !votes was that specifically articles by the editors (Gorski and Novella) were unreviewed and therefore SPS. But the summary only states that "at least some articles on this site can be considered self-published", which seems to open up every SBM article up for debate.

You can see an early example of this at Talk:COVID-19 lab leak theory#Science-Based Medicine - cleanup needed. SBM is used twice in this article, both articles by Gorski that would seem to fall in the SPS category. One of those citations is used without attribution to support negative content in the lead ("The lab leak theory and its weaponization by politicians have both leveraged and increased anti-Chinese sentiment.").

As you can see, editors at that talk section have argued, citing the closing summary, that these Gorski articles do not need to be treated as SPS, and that the RFC requires no action. If this was not your intent, would you consider rephrasing the closing summary to resolve the ambiguity? - Palpable (talk) 06:56, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Palpable, I really do think it will probably need to be taken case by case in a lot of instances, and I wouldn't want to act as arbiter for particular instances. As your issue is a BLP concern, you could always ask for input at the BLP noticeboard. Seraphimblade 08:33, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Heh. Thanks for the pointer. - Palpable (talk) 16:53, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
