Is this article a bit one-sided? Water, for example, is the stimuli involved in hydrotropism. Stimulation does not only occur in animals, does it? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 04:22, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article implies that ADHD is mearly a result of food-additives or that it has not been accepted widely as a disorder. While some may take this viewpoint, many professionals in the psychiatric feild belive it to be a true genetic disorder. I suggest complete removal of ADHD from this article or a subtopic reguarding it.

Separate article?

Perhaps move Well Stimulation into a separate article? Seems strange having the two - psychology & petroleum - welded together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.5.227.196 (talk) 13:56, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right! And stimulation technology seems to be yet another subject... Lova Falk talk 07:16, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I now removed those parts and pasted them onto the talk pages of Well stimulation and Simulation Lova Falk talk 07:38, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article be converted to a disambiguation page?

This article appears redundant, since there are already articles called Stimulus (physiology) and Stimulus (psychology), which appear to discuss physical and psychological stimulation, respectively. Should this article be converted to a disambiguation page, or should it be kept in its current state? Jarble (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now the hard work, improving the article

Hello Beemer69|, Coolabahapple, BD2412, Lepricavark, Grapefruit17 -- We spilled plenty of ink at the AfD, but for all the teeth-gnashing, the article is not improving. Now for the hard work, actually fixing it. I started. Rhadow (talk) 13:04, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good. Do that next time too instead of taking an obviously notable topic to AfD. Lepricavark (talk) 14:35, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recent editing should be reverted - topic of page has been changed in the lead

Recent editing has garbled the lead of this page. If you look at Stimulation (disambiguation), you will see that this page has long been understood to be about the action of various agents or forms of energy (stimuli) on receptors that generate impulses that travel through nerves to the brain. It does not make sense for there to be an encyclopedia page about all the dictionary meanings of the word "stimulation," which is what the lead now suggests this page is about. I think this needs to be fixed. Perhaps initially by reverting to this version (with the AfD tag removed, of course). — Gpc62 (talk) 22:30, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
