Cyberbot II has detected links on
Medopad which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations:
local or
global
If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may
request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist
locally or
globally.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the
help desk.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

I have tagged this article for conflict of interest issues. An early contributor to the article was
Emilykager, whose only edits are to this article and to add mentions of Medopad to other articles, such as
Vodafone and
Google Glass. I suspect that the IPs who have since been the most prolific contributors to the article might also have COIs.

There are a lot of other problems with this article but it no longer looks like an advertisement so I am removing that one flag and leaving the others.

I concur - the recognition section almost certainly needs removing but I wanted to check the sourcing a little more closely.

Haven't looked at the refs, but the whole section seems UNDUE, all the awards seem to be not really notable outside the medical awards community!! (Adding - if it were a fringe related article, I'd have called them all 'In-Universe' sources) -

I also suggest removing the picture of smiling happy people pretending to be doctors, nurses and patients wearing safety glasses in case the ipad explodes. -
Roxy the dog™woof12:28, 10 May 2016 (UTC)reply
Lol. Ok I've removed both of those - we should only include awards if someone other than the award giver reports on it and in this case none of those met this criteria. Still more to do though.

It's a rule of thumb rather than a policy or guideline, but considering the number of corporate awards there are, I think it is sensible to follow to ensure appropriate
WP:WEIGHT is given to them.

Averyevilcentipede, don't let myself or anybody else give any impression that you may have inadvertently done something wrong, because you haven't. In my experience, you learn something about wikipedia every time you edit, or read comments, or contribute to a talk page. it is a huge project that relies on people like us figuring it out! there is policy and guidelines to help, but nobody expect a new editor to know all that stuff. Baby steps and all that. What we are doing in our discussion is establishing a consensus of editors, not particularly strongly at the moment as there are only three of us, but we are getting there. Now back to the article.
It appears to me that this product is merely a stupendously expensive (£90 per month per user) glorified file sharing suite of apps that has been well marketed, and warrants a few sentences in the project only. I look forward to other comments. Truth is, I'm uncomfortable editing in this area, which is outside my little niche of experience. -
Roxy the dog™woof15:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)reply
That sounds like it could hurt the finances of hospitals very seriously. On another note, how many colons are we allowed to indent in before we start over?
Averyevilcentipede (

17:13, 10 May 2016 (UTC)reply
There is no rule regarding colons, editors just do what they want. Convention dictates that each comment gets an extra colon, but there are intricacies beyond that that you shouldn't worry about, but I have committed a small faux pas by adding some to your post above, to illustrate my use of the {{OD}} template above, which has brought the indent back to the left, and put a fancy indication on the page. It is considered very bad form to edit somebody else's comments btw, so I apologise. -

Updating this page
I would like to contribute to this page. I am however not very familiar with Wikipedia workflow and rules. All the information that I added was removed by another user. What is the solution? What does " Unexplained rmal" mean? There was another change that I did not understand. Is the user who reverted my changes a random user or she has some special permissions? How can we do a review so that I understand the reasons behind reverting the changes?

Hello,
Behzad.samadi. Can I ask whether you are associated with Medopad? If so, you should avoid editing the article and instead request changes here on the talk page (see
Wikipedia:Simple COI request for instructions on how to do so). The editor who reverted your edits,
Smartse, happens to be an administrator, but no special permission is required to revert changes (see
WP:BRD). I assume from the context that "rmal" means "removal" (of content).

Behzad.samadi: Hi apologies for using abbreviations. "Unexplained rmal" = "Unexplained removal" Because someone had
removed what New Scientist had written about the cost of the product (not for the first time
either). "partial rv to rm promortion" = "partial revert (undo) to remove promotion". I moved what you added about the trip to China further into the article - the beginning is supposed to summarise the rest, so if it isn't in the main body of the article it shouldn't be in the lead. The rest sounded as if you were trying to promote the company "create personalised care solutions", "partnered with some of the world’s leading technology companies" so I removed this and kept the old version. As it happens, I am an administrator here, but that doesn't give me any power over content, but it does mean that I understand how articles are supposed to be written. If you are in anyway linked to the company, then please read and follow
our guideline on conflicts of interest. Thanks

To answer your question, I am not associated with Medopad. However, the CEO of Medopad is from my undergraduate university and I have met him before. That is why I am interested in this company. I would be OK with sending a request to update the page. I am not trying to promote the company. However, I would like to update this page by adding facts. I just used the edit request suggested by Wikipedia in the following. However, I do not have a conflict of interest. I am not paid by Medopad. Nobody has paid me to do this.

Can someone start the process of renaming this page to Huma?
Thanks.
Not done The huma.com website includes a single-line banner stating "Medopad is now Huma." This is insufficient to claim that the Medopad company has rebranded as Huma. It more likely means that Huma as acquired Medopad. Since the Medopad website still exists, with no indication of any rebranding, a stronger source than this is going to be necessary to support this claim.

Should I instead share the press release here and let others make the changes? Apologies was not familiar this was against rules, I was not acting maliciously.

Regardless of whether the name of the company has now changed, we shouldn't change the name in the article where it refers to historical events, as was done
here. The company was called Medopad until recently, so we should use that name when the article describes what it was doing in 2013, 2015 and 2018.

The last time I looked at the cost of using this service it was £90 per month per user in a closed system. I made a cursory look again today, and pricing is up to £1000 to £15,000 per licence per annum. Does your company pay well? How do you feel about this sort of thing at a time when the NHS is under a little bit of pressure? How do you feel about the use of meaningless words used to rename companies purely to generate press coverage? -

It's not relevant to the title, but this did remind me that there used to be some coverage of pricing in the article, which was apparently removed. I've
added it back again.

We have offered our COVID-19 solution for free to the NHS in London and at cost price to the rest of the UK, so I feel pretty good about that. But yes - not relevant to this article. Thank you to the other admins for making the change. May I politely point in the direction of our logo should you wish to use it:

@
Roxy the dog: I'm going to reiterate: your personal feelings about this company's pricing strategies are not the proper topic of discussion on this talk page. Please restrict yourself to comments about the content of the article. If there is material relevant to pricing that is relevant to the article (and properly sourced) please discuss that, but please keep your own opinions on the matter out of the discussion.
