== Some advice ==

HI.  You are pretty new on Wikipedia. I recognize that you have made boatloads of edits since you started here last fall.  Nonetheless, the mistakes you have made at the Amen article are newbie mistakes.... I am still learning stuff all the time and have been active here for several years.  Anyway,  it is bad form to go to drama boards before you engage in discussions on the Talk page.   Also, it doesn't appear that you have edited in articles related to health/medical stuff much.  There is LOTS of crap out there and there are editors who want to come here and push it (real tinfoil hat stuff).   Please think about that.. this is ''an encyclopedia that anyone can edit.''  As a result, over the years Wikipedia has developed some very clear policies and guidelines about how we handle health-related information.  Some of the people who have interacted with you about Amen are the best editors in this whole place at keeping flaky health related content out of Wikipedia and at building up reliable health information.   The relevant policies and guidelines are [[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Fringe_theories_and_pseudoscience]] (policy),  [[WP:FRINGE]] (guideline) and [[WP:MEDRS]] (guideline).   I recommend you slow down a bit and understand ''how things work in Wikipedia'' before you start making accusations that other editors are working here in bad faith.   This is unfortunately a common mistake that new editors make but there is no reason you have to continue down that road, which is going to lead to misery for you, and will probably lead you to burn out and leave.  Please [[WP:AGF]] and slow down and learn how things work ''here'' before generating drama.  Thanks, and good luck! [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 11:39, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

:about [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ADaniel_Amen&diff=599569358&oldid=599569206 this comment]:  article Talk pages are not the pages to "bristle." (this is another newbie mistake).  Also, if you '''choose''' to use a drama board, it is '''your responsibility''' to take time to learn and comply with the rules for using them.  If you are too busy to read the instructions (which are posted in the blue box at the top of the page) please consider not using these boards.    Finally,  if you make a mistake and someone corrects it (as I did, by notifying the other editors that the BLPN had been posted, and yes chiding you for your mistake - it is a big deal to accuse other editors ''of violating '''policy''''' - which is what you did!), just take it, learn (!) and move on.  And hey maybe even apologize for your mistake!   Please don't generate yet more drama that doesn't help improve the article.  There is lots to learn but acknowledging that and being humble and learning instead of generating drama, will lead you down a road to a happier time here.  Best regards.  Really - good luck here.

== Re your note ==

I disagree with your interpretation of the situation.  [[WP:OUTING]] and its enforcement via oversight applies to details about editors.  Meanwhile, ''[[The Spokesman-Review]]'' appears to be a leading regional newspaper, whose editors would not be likely to get this kind of thing wrong, so unless you have reason to dispute the factual claims from that article, there's no real issue here.  Whether a "famous alumni" section is appropriate for the school article is debatable, but as long as it's there, this individual ought to be listed there.

==Using the days of the week, in addition to the dates==
Dear sport, you ain't no genius so why do you delete factual information concerning the days of the week when a particular date falls on?  The FACTUAL information may mean nothing to you, but to those who use Wikipedia as an on-line encyclopedia (for a source of information) may want to know this FACTUAL information.  Wikipedia is for everyone to add factual information to (to help enhance, update, and to complete the articles) and it is not supposed to be the "pet project" of un-accountable un-selected editors to delete factual information at their own whim (for illegitimate reasons).  The only information that you should delete is FALSE information.  Please leave the factual information alone!  Your actions in this particular case is only hurting Wikipedia.  You should not be delating FACTUAL information just because you WRONGLY think that the information is of no value to you personally.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by

For alerting me to that post. He's at 3RR now at Semir Osmanagić. What's really odd is his accusation I deleted something at [[Isabel Gomez-Bassols]] which I didn't.

:If you feel the label of bully applies to you then that is your issue. My comment was a general one so inferring a personal attack is a reach. I firmly believe we've failed in the Belle Knox chapter, but I'm also quite sure the article will be back soon enough.

::Can't say I'm surprised, [[User:Alison|Alison]] and [[User:Mark Miller|Mark Miller]], especially after the [[User:Insomesia]] account. I was pinged to this talk page before by an IP who was convinced that Sportfan5000 is a WP:Sockpuppet of Benjiboi or of someone else and wanted me to use my WP:Sockpuppetry detective skills to confirm the matter one way or the other; since that talk page commentary is not in this talk page's edit history, it must have been on the now deleted [[User talk:Sportfan5000/BLPlist]]. And then there was [[User talk:NeilN/Archive 16#The "best friend" material added to various WP:BLPs|this matter]] at [[User:NeilN|NeilN]]'s talk page, where [[User:Lady Lotus|Lady Lotus]] felt that Sportfan5000 might be a WP:Sockpuppet of [[User:Pass a Method]] and I stated, "Sportfan5000's editing style is completely different than Pass a Method's editing style...generally anyway. Sure, if you look at Sportfan5000's earliest Wikipedia contribution, it's clear that Sportfan5000 was not completely new editing Wikipedia, but that's likely unrelated." [[User:StAnselm|StAnselm]] agreed with me that they are not one and the same, and [[User:XXSNUGGUMSXX|XXSNUGGUMSXX]] was the first to assure Lady Lotus that we did not think she was accusing StAnselm of being a WP:Sockpuppet. These days, however, Pass a Method is [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Middayexpress&diff=601534067&oldid=601529361#User:Pass_a_Method surely out there WP:Sockpuppeting.] Anyway, sigh.

== MSM blood donor controversy Intro==
The intro is kind of misleading. The only country I can think of that banned gay males from donating blood is China (but they also banned gay females from donating blood as well). This is no longer the policy in China however. Furthermore, blood donation bans apply more to [[men who have sex with men]] than it does to [[gay males|gay people]].
