[[User:Richie Sanders]] has 26 total edits since account creation in July 2014. The account's editing pattern consists almost entirely of adding citations and content linking to goflightmedicine.com, a commercial aviation medical practice operated by Dr. Rocky Jedick that offers HIMS Aviation Medical Examiner services.

A [[Special:LinkSearch/goflightmedicine.com|LinkSearch for goflightmedicine.com]] returns 18 results across Wikipedia. The following articles edited by this account currently contain or previously contained goflightmedicine.com citations: [[G-force]], [[G-LOC]], [[Tarnak Farm incident]], [[Flight surgeon]], [[Patient safety]], [[Tenerife airport disaster]], [[Aviation medicine]], [[Airborne collision avoidance system]], [[Spatial disorientation]], [[Sensory illusions in aviation]], [[1999 Martha's Vineyard plane crash]], and [[Aviation medical examiner]].

On 27 February 2026, the account edited [[Human Intervention Motivation Study]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Human_Intervention_Motivation_Study&diff=prev&oldid=1340785542 diff]) to add a goflightmedicine.com citation and content not supported by the cited page. The account also added goflightmedicine.com citations to [[Aviation medical examiner]] in 2021 ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aviation_medical_examiner&diff=prev&oldid=1005743769 diff]). I reverted the HIMS edit and removed the AME citations as well, replacing one with an FAA.gov source. I left a [[User talk:Richie Sanders#February 27 edit to Human Intervention Motivation Study -- content and citation concerns|detailed explanation on their talk page]] on 6 March 2026. No response as of 8 March 2026.

The editor also received a [[User talk:Richie Sanders#A welcome and a note on copyright|copyright notice]] in July 2014 related to their edit to [[G-force]] -- the same article where a goflightmedicine.com citation appears.

::Following the initial report and BubbaJoe123456's removal of two links, a systematic cleanup has been completed. All 14 remaining article-space links to goflightmedicine.com have been removed from the following articles:

[[G-LOC]] – replaced with Burton 1988 (PMID 3281645)

[[G-force]] – replaced with existing Burton ref

[[Tarnak Farm incident]] – removed (dead link)

[[Tenerife airport disaster]] – removed (dead link)

[[Pilot error]] – removed (dead link)

[[List of terrorist incidents in 1977]] – removed (dead link)

[[Hypoxia (medicine)]] – replaced with Burton 1988

[[Sensory illusions in aviation]] – replaced with NTSB report NYC99MA178

[[1999 Martha's Vineyard plane crash]] – replaced with existing NTSB ref

[[Spatial disorientation]] – replaced with FAA brochure and existing NTSB ref

[[Flight surgeon]] – removed (dead link, unsourced claim)

[[Aviation medicine]] – replaced with existing Dehart textbook ref

[[Airborne collision avoidance system]] – removed (dead link)

The [[Special:LinkSearch/goflightmedicine.com|LinkSearch for goflightmedicine.com]] now returns only 2 results: a Reference Desk archive and a user sandbox, both of which are non-article spaces and can be left in place.

All removals were made with edit summaries referencing [[WP:REFSPAM]] and the COIN discussion. [[User:LumenStoneEditor|LumenStoneEditor]] ([[User talk:LumenStoneEditor|talk]]) 21:53, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
