NavBox

Adult has a navbox on the right side. If it should be put at the bottom, I need to spend time changing the code which I think a bit not so necessary. --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 03:07, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Circulatory shock

Shock_(circulatory)#Management: It is important to keep the person warm to avoid hypothermia.

IMO, keep too warm can facilitate oxygen consumption. Is there a better way to write it since you're familiar with such medical emergency diseases? --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 03:45, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I think that it good. You do not want them to be hot Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:46, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Maybe there is an acceptable temperature range so patients won't be feeling hot just because they wanted to avoid cold? Alright, I originally thought warm = hot. --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 03:50, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Do you miss User:Jytdog or glad that he is gone? Eschoryii (talk) 22:42, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

User:Eschoryii well I think we all agreed that he messed up. The actions by arbcom IMO were out of proportion. It was obvious that he would never do that again. Yes IMO him being gone is a huge loss to the project. Even though of course he and I did not always agree. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:45, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello Doctor James! Can you please tell me how the section about children added by Dent22st on the Dental Fear page can be improved?

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Tom Edwards (talk) 21:35, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks User:Tom Edwards yes I know I started the discussion... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

A question arising from that discussion, but maybe tangential to it: what campaigns against the Copyright Directive has the WMF actually promoted? I haven't checked every last tweet, but the only one I'm aware of is changecopyright.org, which is a Mozilla Foundation project. (So, it's "funded by Google" in some partial and indirect way that would be OR to speculate about.) XOR'easter (talk) 01:04, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

User:XOR'easter a number of Wikipedia's had banners. This was the one EN WP used.[1] Each language sort of did their own thing.

Re:Uptodate

Thank for your opinion for references from Uptodate.

I will check my edit and try to use review articles or medical organizations statements to replace Uptodate information.

Thanks --Wolfch (talk) 03:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks User:Wolfch appreciate it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:58, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for disturbing, since Wolfch was mainly tracking my edits, I would like to explain my addition of UpToDate as the reference. Generally, I cite UpToDate when the material is included in its open preview version because, like others, I don't have full access to UpToDate all the time. Finally, I would like to thank you for facilitating the project that makes medical knowledge reach people around the world. I really think not only the rich has the right to get ahold of knowledge but also those who don't afford to pay the fee for education, database, etc. Let's keep allowing it to be cited when the content is open in the preview, or when there's really need to although the chance for such irreplaceable context is deemed very rare.

Does archive.org save versions? So that one can reference a specific version? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:12, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

monotonous diet

Hi Doc James. Is "monotonous (diet)" (end of first line on this link) a term in medical/ nutrition jargon? Thanks Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 10:38, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

User:Rui Gabriel Correia have clarified. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:59, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. I see the term widely used, which is what made me wonder if it was an established term/ concept among professionals, or merely disseminated by popular science. Possibly from W. Armstrong Willis's paper on The Diet of Monotony? Thanks again. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:05, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

People with v.s patients with

I just typed "patients with" as a search query in Google's search box. And the results were quite a few. Perhaps they're interchangeable? --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 16:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Pier Paolo Pandolfi

I am writing regarding the article for Pier Paolo Pandolfi which you placed a notice on in December 2017. I believe this was due to a colleague who was editing Wikipedia in violation of the rules regarding conflict of interest. I am from the organization Pandolfi works for and have requested edits to the article on the talk page which have been responded to by another editor. These edits have consisted of removing and rewording content that was not properly sourced or were sourced mainly to the work of Pandolfi which violated the rules of Wikipedia. As an independent editor has reviewed the requests I have made and the article is now written in a neutral tone, I had requested that the notice be removed from the top of the page. The editor who has reviewed the edits has told me to first notify you to see if you would remove the tag. Their logic, as stated by them is "My logic is that since they placed the template, they are in the best position to know whether or not the issues which caused its placement have been corrected." Can you review my request on the talk page of the article and let me know if anything else is needed to be done so this notice can be removed? Thank you in advance. --BIHAKen (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Federal Assault Weapons Ban

The charities are secondary sources. "A secondary source in medicine summarizes one or more primary or secondary sources." Why don't we remove citations #8, #10 (ADA - a charity), and so on...? Also, isnt the research section supposed to summarize research? The BCG vaccine has made headlines. Also, why is Snopes unreliable 172.219.53.146 (talk) 06:25, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Please answer my questions. 172.219.53.146 (talk) 06:30, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

No press releases by charities are not high quality secondary sources.

Yes Snopes.com is also not a high quality secondary source.

Yes the research section is supposed to summarize high quality secondary sources that discusses the research. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

The charity article is a secondary source. "A secondary source in medicine summarizes one or more primary or secondary sources."

Why is snopes not reliable? "Snopes aims to debunk or confirm widely spread urban legends. The site has been referenced by news media and other sites, including CNN,[20] MSNBC,[21] Fortune, Forbes, and The New York Times.[22] By March 2009, the site had more than 6 million visitors per month.[23] Mikkelson runs the website out of his home in Tacoma, Washington.[24]" "Jan Harold Brunvand, a folklorist who has written a number of books on urban legends and modern folklore, considered the site so comprehensive in 2004 that he decided not to launch one of his own to similarly discuss the accuracy of various legends and rumors.[13]

In 2012, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes' responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases.[28][29] In 2012, The Florida Times-Union reported that About.com's urban legends researcher found a "consistent effort to provide even-handed analyses" and that Snopes' cited sources and numerous reputable analyses of its content confirm its accuracy.[30] Mikkelson has said that the site receives more complaints of liberal bias than conservative bias, but added that the same debunking standards are applied to all political urban legends.[28]"

But not a high quality secondary source. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:56, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

The policies do not care of your opinion of "quality", James. Rather, it is clear that they are reliable. Quality is subjective... site design? colors? Number of articles? 172.219.53.146 (talk) 07:05, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Fortunately, the policies describe what is considered a quality source. Like, seriously, just read the tl;dr box at the top of WP:MEDRS. Someguy1221 (talk) 09:56, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Re: Semi-Protected edit request on 3/5/19 for the article Bipolar disorder to include a link for Ronald Braunstein

Hello Doc James: Just a quick note to update you about a Semi-Protected edit request which has been posted on the talk page for the article Bipolar disorder. Perhaps if you have spare time you might share your medical expertise and extensive experience as a Wikipedia Administrator in order to evaluate the proposal to incorporate the following text at the end of the section entitled Society and Culture

In an effort to ease the social stigma associated with bipolar disorder, the orchestra conductor Ronald Braunstein cofounded the

ME/2 Orchestra with his wife Caroline Whiddon in 2011. Braunstein was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1985 and his concerts with the ME/2 Orchestra were conceived in order to create a welcoming performance environment for his musical colleagues, while also raising public awareness about mental illness.

The can be no doubt that your expert opinion would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration and best wishes for your continued success on Wikipedia. Respectfully yours, 104.207.219.150 (talk) 23:53, 6 March 2019 (UTC)PS

One more question - if the publisher is included in Beall's list, but the Journal (separately) is considered credible/peer reviewed/etc. does that matter? What if the material published in a journal whose publisher is on Beall's list is corroborated by another journal that is not on Beall's list? Can we use cite that source?

I was going to update the page with new citations from news events, but found out you deleted the page in 2017. I looked at the reasons for deletion, it doesn't have anything to do with Thai Bloom. Whoever created the page was banned, but that doesn't mean the content and page should be banned.

I don't believe any of it but the people in the documentary sure think sitting in a quiet room can heal cancer. Can this documentary be cited as authority to Wiki articles? Do you have to believe something to add it? I would cite it somewhere to don't be fooled people. But what I am trying to sort out is the no personal point of view principle. Should Wiki readers have this information even though I don't accept it? Yet there must be some benefit to relaxation, stress reduction and meditation. Where and who gets to draw the line? In the Energy Medicine article could I add a sentence: "Followers of this mode of treatment should watch the Heal documentary." Would you delete that sentence? Maybe I should be asking this on the article talk page but I value your opinion, Eschoryii (talk) 03:54, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

User:Eschoryii When it comes to health we need references per WP:MEDRS

That documentary is not an appropriate reference just like the DailyMail is not an appropriate reference. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:56, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. That was a quick answer. Were you reading as I typed? You don't need to respond further. Eschoryii (talk) 04:07, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

User:Doc James Check out my added sentence to the third paragraph in Mind-body interventions article. You may think that Heal should not be mentioned at all. Delete if I am wrong. Eschoryii (talk) 06:37, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

The ref gives me a warning. Not a major source / opinion. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:48, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
