ADHD as a biological vs psychological condition

I notice that you are doing a pretty good job allowing a fair diversity of opinion here. One of my deleted posts, in which I carefully referenced how psychological experiences can change the physical brain, still remains, I believe, an important reference source and a reasonable argument point that might explain differences found in the brain of those with ADHD. How would I retrieve it and repost it. Thanks and keep up the good work, Simon Sobo M.D.--24.151.119.232 (talk) 13:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Bates method GAN

I noticed your review of the Bates method article and would like to inform you that the edit-war has been resolved and the article has been renominated. Edits made after the nomination are minor and the article appears to be relatively stable. I was hoping to entice you to revisit the article and review it again.

About my mind maps

Hi, first thank you for your concerns to make wikipedia better, I appreciate that allot, but about my mind maps, the whole idea was to make another way of presenting the article, since I got some e-mails from different users asking about my maps, thats why i thought they could be useful, and i dont mind removing any of them where you see their use is inappropriate.

Brain ischemia

Hello, you GA reviewed the article that I am working on and I just have a quick question. Well, maybe not quick. I am a little confused with the review you posted. For example, when you listed the classification system. I am confused so I was hoping that you might elaborate a little for me, if you do not mind of course. I also wanted to thank you for reviewing my article. Thanks, --Saunc2011 (talk) 00:09, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


Also, from the GA review you gave, under number 4, are you saying that I need to make the title of Brain ischemia more clear in that it encompasses ischemia stroke and global cerebral ischemia? Sorry to bother you, but I just found the actual review, instead of just the comments made on the talk page. I am new at the whole GA review thing so please bear with me! Thank you, --Saunc2011 (talk) 00:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The state of modern medicine

Hey Doc, in regard to your recent comment over at talk:adhd, have you read many of the books on modern medicine and the pharma industry such as The Truth About the Drug Companies, Powerful Medicines, Our Daily Meds, ect.? I've read a few and just today finished Overdo$ed America. Each has different focuses, but I think Overdosed would be right up your alley: the author is a family practitioner and discusses lifestyle and preventative medicine at length.

Sore throat

Hello, I do not understand the meaning of your edit summary here. This edit, reverts all the recent additions I have made to ensure the article is respecting of WP:CITE and WP:V. Furthermore, to me, the your edit summary does not indicate that you are reverting my changes. Could you please explain to me how you would like to handle the information which is "unverifiable". I would like to point out, that it is customary to remove the information, until there is sufficient reference and I will be doing just that by revert your edit. Thank you. --CyclePat (talk) 21:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

The Epstein-Barr viral infection is mentioned in the one of the first paragraphs of the article as having a correlation with pharyngitis. The continued discussion of the subject matter is hence quite relevant and therefore I will return the information regarding the treatment via; Electromagnetic field therapy which shows some signs of being helpful for stimulation of the immune system for clinical conditions such as the Epstein-Barr viral infection.[14] --CyclePat (talk) 23:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Furthermore, gargling is not mentioned in the second reference, ie. The Mayo Institute, as an alternative medicine. It therefore does not belong in the article because it is not properly referenced. Finally, the Mayo institute indicates a lot more then simply Alternative Treatments, they use the term Herbals which refers to herbal Medicine. This should be clearly indicate for the status quo appear to take this out of context and lump their conclusion with the other references. I am reverting your recent edits again and hope we can work at resolving these issues. Thank you. --CyclePat (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi, You may call me Pat. I trust I can call you James. Thank you James. That's quite important to know for someone who may be using this information to self-diagnose themselves. May I recommend we add my information, but, hopefully with this information regarding the suppression of the Immune system via steroids? That should be sufficient warning. p.s.; I also left a comment regarding the gargling within the articles text. The problem is still the same. Best regards and I'll understand if you place the information regarding EMF therapy on the article's talk page until we find some reliable sources to help everyone understand your very clear explanation regarding suppressing vs. enhancing the immune system. I may also concede that this information should be in the main article regarding the virus... Or we could simply state alternative treatments for the virus (see main article). Any other suggestions? Best regards... I'm off now, for the weekend with the flu. Cheers. --CyclePat (talk) 00:15, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
That book has several contributors per this link here. I imagine, it is peer-reviewed by each one of them. But most importantly by this foreword here.

Hi there,

I have seen that you have some interest in paracetamol article. I am looking to clean up the article e.g. giving due weight and rebuttals to the Lancet 2008 research, removing the excess of brand names cluttering the article, adding use and efficacy information that is missing.

adhd dicussions

Hello.

I see you have many interesting points in the ADHD Controversy. However, that whole article seems to focus only on childhood ADHD. I was wondering if you could contribute to the Adult ADHD article? Maybe you already have. The discussion section for that article offers very little information. I was diagnosed as having Adult ADHD by the Mayo Clinic Psychiatric department in 2002 and was/am prescribed methylphenidate. I am looking for information regarding other, non-stimulant based treatments (such as Straterra or Bupropion). I have recently moved to another state and am having trouble locating a local psychiatrist.

Thanks for any information you could provide.

Sincerely,

ArbCom: the pluses and minuses

Having recently been a named party in an ArbCom case myself [1], you should be forewarned. First, there is no guarantee that ArbCom will take the case. Like the U.S. Supreme Court, ArbCom needs to be shown that a serious pattern has developed over the years in which the usual dispute mechanisms failed to "correct" the problem of disruption. Second, even if ArbCom takes the case, it is a lengthy bureaucratic process lasting anywhere from four to eight weeks. Third, based on my first-hand experience, [2] the more analytical and dispassionate the argument the better. All the usual statistical evidence, patterns of editing, concrete examples of disruption, etc. needs to be presented in a very concise "get-to-the-point-and-show-us" way. ArbCom weighs those verifiable observations again the rebuttal from the "offender(s)" and slowly but surely (1) determine the validity and gravity of what the defendant has been accused, and (2) what "remedies" are needed. The bad news is that it’s a lot of hard archival and statistical work with no guarantee of success (indeed, sometimes it backfires). The good news is: if you effectively make the case, ArbCom comes down very hard (like an anvil) on the offender. To get a feel for how it works, I recommend reading very carefully how the Ayn Rand case progressed. There are similarities in the editing behavior problems. Good luck, J Readings (talk) 21:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Now comes the really hard part. Short-and-to-the-point evidence. Remember: the evidence cannot exceed 1,000 words under any circumstances. Anything above that will just irritate and alienate the jury (I've seen it happen). Best to be methodical on the issue of disruptive editing (as the guidelines view it) with plenty of links that demonstrate and reinforce just that. So far, your evidence is cogently presented in my humble opinion. Unfortunately, this is a very bureaucratic process, so be prepared for a long drawn-out two or three months. Scuro is obligated to respond (and you're allowed a rejoinder) within 1,000 words. Good luck, J Readings (talk) 02:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Withdrawn. My deepest apologies. To take the image employed by Abd below, it appears the chicken and the egg were reversed. In my haste of correcting a potential infringement issue, I have clearly jumped the gun. --MLauba (talk) 15:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm. Could it be such a page? They have many such pages. - Hordaland (talk) 10:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I'll take a look at this. Copy-pasting may be allowable if there is reason to exactly quote, for limited amounts of text, otherwise restating facts is appropriate. If quoting exactly, quotation marks and attribution are indicated. --Abd (talk) 11:01, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
'Twas not long ago we were blamed for copying a page, but it was they who copied us. Could well be like that. - Hordaland (talk) 13:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
From what I can tell, the wiki pages are separate, copied from a much earlier version of our article, and properly attributed. The parts I removed for now, as linked above, appear clearly different though. MLauba (talk) 13:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This text was added, not by Jmh649 (MLauba, why did you pick him?), but by CVZ (talk · contribs) with [4]. That was a revamping of the article. CVZ would be the one to check with on this. Figuring out where this text originated (with CVZ or with Wrongdiagnosis.com, which seems to be largely an advertising vehicle and which might have used Wikipedia content, and the page cited above might be an attempt to satisfy the licensing from Wikipeda, or not, it might be supplemental (as you seem to suggest, MLauba), and I just don't know at this point. --Abd (talk) 14:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

::::You're right, upon a second review, the issue is a single sentence in the medication section. I have stricken the relevant parts and issue my apology for that. Could you further point me to any discussions concerning reverse copying coming from the wrongdiagnosis.com site? Very much obliged. Thanks. --MLauba (talk) 15:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Just to follow up on the entire matter, it is now my firm conviction that, indeed, wrong diagnosis copied this section off wikipedia and a different source, and in at least two different sessions. Particularly telling is the beginning of the Treatment section - CVZ's addition contains "The cornerstone" followed by the "In adults" paragraph. WD has the exact same structure. However, the second paragraph has later been rewritten entirely to read "Treatment of adults...". This language is also present in WD, but to the very bottom of the page, as a latter addition. The entire last part of CVZ, which is quite heavily referenced, is also absent from WD - as it has been removed in a later edit.
Long story short, and without boring you all with the detail of my attempts at textual forensics, I was wrong, I have misread the situation entirely, and I apologize to all interested editors for implying their collective effort may be anything but their own hard researched efforts. I have learned my lesson, sorry that you all had to be the unwilling guinea pigs in this matter. --MLauba (talk) 20:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Look, you jumped to conclusions. It's easy to do. You were presented with an appearance and made some assumptions and, presumably, you won't make that mistake again. Let me say that I'm impressed. There are too many editors who would have ranted and raved about this, and then, when the truth was staring them in the face, and it was obvious that they weren't being accepted, they would have disappeared, but holding in their minds about how uncivil everyone had been in rejecting their perfectly accurate finding. This is, unfortunately, how some of us feel, we are attached to the conclusions we made, especially if we committed to them in some way. Instead, you backed up immediately, checked out what was being said to you, and went even further, to do the kind of research that I would have done if I'd had time. Yes, I knew that it would be possible to discriminate between copying in one direction and copying in the other, through our edit record, even though I couldn't find revision information on WrongDiagnosis. So, thanks, because it seems you iced it. --Abd (talk) 22:11, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

A fault like drawing clinical conclusions from in-vitro evidence is easily fixed and you know that I will fix it. As soon as my paper is officially released (estimated 30th this month)and PubMed indexed you'll get the full picture and can shoot at it. An interest in preventative medicine will mean that you are fully in the picture about long-term statin medication and its success in cardiology. If you are in practice, you would also know about the need to supplement for CoQ10 and the the Golomb paper. It is more important that you join in this examination of the evidence and contribute your facts and citations in support of your opinion.

Medical GA Sweeps

Thanks for taking a look at these articles and leaving comments. I would recommend leaving a note at the Medicine WikiProject page mentioning this list to see if anyone is willing to address those issues. Usually, reviews are open for about a week, and if no progress is made, then you can delist the articles. If possible, see if you can contact the main contributors of the articles, leaving them a brief message to let them know you have some issues with the article (this tool may be helpful). If you do pass/delist the articles after the completion of the review, be sure to add your name to the running total page (or you can add it now to keep track of your open reviews). Thanks again, and if you have any questions, let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 03:39, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

GA reviews are not too elaborate. As long as it meets the GA criteria, then it qualifies. Looking over the issues you raised, it looks like they definitely should be met to maintain a GA. I would just recommend leaving a notice in the review saying that you believe that the issues need to be addressed so the article meets the criteria, and establish some sort of deadline (don't want these reviews open for months). If you need me to send out the messages for you, let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 03:52, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Usually a week is sufficient. If no progress is being made then delist the article. If an editor(s) are starting to make progress on the article, it's okay to leave it open longer if they'll address all of the issues to help it maintain a GA. It could be beneficial to also leave a message at the talk pages of the WikiProjects stating that you have placed these articles on hold. Usually more editors will jump in to help resolve the issues. If you need help with closing the reviews let me know and I'll do the formatting. Thanks again for helping out. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 21:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I added the articles you reviewed to here. If you review anymore, or are currently reviewing others, please list them here so we can keep track.

GA delistings

It's great that you're sweeping the GAs: it keeps the status high quality and identifies those that need improvement. But I think you're delisting GAs even faster than they're being added. I check them every few days, and I think the number of GAs has been going down. Although they probably wouldn't pass a GA review now, with 33 and 40 references I don't really think Yellow fever and Measles urgently had to be removed. I don't want to be telling you what to do, but maybe you could pass an article for every one you delist so the number overall goes up, not down. Thanks, Reywas92Talk 23:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rorschach test. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Ward3001 (talk) 13:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

This is inappropriate. I added good faith text and reverted User:Faustian twice well he reverted me three time.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:15, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
You added to the article after having made a negative remark, clearly in order to provoke other editors: [5].Faustian (talk) 14:56, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
I was just showing my appreciation to the praise bestowed upon me above :-) But to be serious these images do add to the page and it seems that the majority of the community agrees with me. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Doc, regardless of how many times Faustian reverted you, you were still edit warring. There is no special rule that you can revert as many times as you want if someone else reverts you. You made a false report about me edit warring after I reverted once. The warning I added above is entirely appropriate and even encouraged by Wikipedia to prevent additional edit warring. Ward3001 (talk) 15:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

It was two reverts. Therefore you should not have posted on my talk page.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
That's garbage. You post the template to avoid additional edit warring. You deserved that warning template much more than I deserved to have a false edit warring report made by you. Ward3001 (talk) 16:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks you for all your friendly comments and have a nice day.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:34, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome. Thank you for all the amazing insights not available to anyone else, and have a nice day. Ward3001 (talk) 16:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cancer screening

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Cancer screening, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Already covered in sufficient depth in primary article. No additional sources or references added in more than a month, and the subject is sprinkled with original research in the form of unreferenced "recommendations".

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Civil

I would request that you attempt to be civil, and honest, and not misleading. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 02:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you have an example of these issues? Is this perhaps the same misunderstanding Faustian had? Chillum 03:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Chillum, I don't care to have a debate with you on James' talk page. And it was you, not Faustian, who had the misunderstanding. Ward3001 (talk) 03:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Well then don't make accusations if you don't care to support them. Chillum 04:07, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Civility, Please

Please refrain from insults as you have done here: [6]. Thank you,Faustian (talk) 03:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Please read the whole discussion Faustian before issuing warnings. We were all discussion a hypothetical future expert who may decide not to edit Wikipedia because he/she did not get what they wanted. It was not directed at you. Chillum 03:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

User Ward3001

this user is particularly pestersome on wikipedia, we should start up a community ban on him! check his history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Auntjemima001 (talkcontribs) 15:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I didn't see an edit summary for your first edit; my reversal came at the same time as your second edit. I see now that you're working on it, so I'll leave you to it. ;) Feel free to revert. Drmies (talk) 22:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: A diff

Here it indicated that you are a member of the APA 12 We should really continue the discuss of who does what out in the real world on the personal talk pages rather than on the discussion pages. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:50, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm a member of the Catholic Church, but that does not mean I represent the Catholic Church on Wikipedia. You have claimed that editors represent APA on Wikipedia. Further, when asked whether you represent CMA, you said it was none of my business. The diff above is meaningless. And I will continue discussing this issue on the Rorschach talk page when necessary (especially if you continue bringing it up, which you did as recently as an hour or so ago) until you either retract your claims that anyone represents APA or provide a diff or other evidence that actually backs up what you have said. You see James, you're not the wikiboss who decides which issues should be addressed where or who should be exempt from backing up their claims. And neither are you the expert that you have claimed to be. That M.D. after your name may have conferred some privileges, but not the ones I have just named. Please be willing to back up what you say, or don't say it. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 23:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Rorschach test

Hi. Just to let you know that I haven't formed a opinion, or even leaning towards an opinion, about whether or not the inkblots should be in. I know it might seem otherwise from what I wrote, but that's not the case. Right now I'm trying to get the various positions straight and evaluate their validity. If it's of any interest to you, I'll probably have some ideas regarding keeping the inkblots. But I would like to see if you have anything to say regarding the points I made. Any criticism of those specific points would be helpful, or possibly any agreement with parts of them. Thanks. --Bob K31416 (talk) 23:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
