Ehlers Danlos syndrome Page

First off, I would like to thank you for your hard work on the page. I have tagged several points that need citations, as I suspect that they may be true, and they don't violate NPOV so I don't think there is any need to delete them. Was wondering if you knew where I could find citations for them though. these are the only sources I could find https://ehlers-danlos.com/2017-eds-international-classification/

/Abortion: video now instead of image. No talk page consensus.

Hi Doc James,

Today the article on Abortion is headed by a video instead of an image. The video is several minutes long and has many words. It seems to me that it's not procedurally correct to add this without talk page consensus. Also, since videos are harder to edit for content, wouldn't a spoken video explanation be problematic for Wikipedia articles on controversial subjects where the current status reflects ten years of hard-won compromises by the Wikipedia community? 208.76.28.70 (talk) 15:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Bipolar disorder

Hi James, yes, I know lithium has the best supporting evidence for bipolar disorder treatment but there aren't any good pictures of it on Wikimedia commons. There's no claim in the lamotrigine picture's caption that suggests otherwise and the picture is of far higher quality. Ideally, if we are going to have a picture of lithium then it should be one of high quality. Otherwise, I think we should show another commonly used medication with a high-quality photograph instead of a chemical ball model that will be essentially meaningless to most readers.

Nina Teicholz

Hi Doc James, You have just edited the Wiki page on me, and I am wondering why the information about me, my history and my book must be deleted? I see that many people have unreferenced information about their childhoods and their early lives. Why should the information about me be deleted? How many people have references to document where they went to school and where they were born or the occupations of their parents? Also, there are many moves, TV shows, books that have information about the content of their work that does not have separate references yet are part of their wikipedia pages. I think I edited no more than a sentence of two on my page--which I didn't realize was in violation of policy. It seems crazy that people cannot edit the information about themselves! What if there is an error?! Now you seem to be taking draconian action, deleting 5000+ words from my profile. Is there no recourse? User:Nina Teicholz

Hey Nina. I imagine it is your PR firm that created it? Appears to have been created without disclosure. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:49, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Doc, I don't have a PR firm. I have a large social media following and a great deal of information on me and my work is public. I simply added one sentence to my own page, deleted a sentence fragment, and now the entire page has been flagged and most of it deleted. Please tell me how this shows "patience and leniency" to new users, as Wikipedia recommends? And how long will the warning stay on my site such that every editor can remove everything they want? This seems like harsh and draconian punishment for a new user. Nina Teicholz (talk) 12:41, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
Not everyone involved in the article about Nina is a new user. But basically someone independent from the subject needs to go through the article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:48, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Good afternoon, Doctor,

As I'm sure you're aware, a large body of research has affirmed that lowering LDL cholesterol lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.

But you are certainly correct that it is unclear if lowering or raising HDL has any effect on outcomes such as heart attacks. Indeed, scientists are now questioning if HDL ought to even be called the "good" cholesterol.[1]

Use of my blog content in a Wikipedia article?

No, no, not me. I write a history column for my town's paper, and post that content to a blog. Recently, someone has been using my content to add to the History section for the town. References are links to my blogged columns. Any Wikipedia policy on referencing to an individual's blog? I suppose I could replace the refs in question with refs to the original sources I researched for what I wrote. David notMD (talk) 14:34, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

In which edit? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:25, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
In the article on Maynard, Massachusetts, the editor Swampyankee created content with refs to my blog. I am not disputing the content. What I did was substitute other references, with links when possible, to my source materials. On a separate note, Swampyankee has created six new articles about bits of Maynard that are either already covered in the article on Maynard or in my opinion could be merged into Maynard without that article getting bloated. However, I do not want to get into a merge fight with Swampyankee, who appears to be a very frequent creator of new articles. Any suggestions? The new (all in July): Amory Maynard, Maynard High School (Massachusetts), Fowler School, Green Meadow School, Maynard Public Library, Presidential Village.

Good idea. I will reach out to that person first, before starting a merge discussion. David notMD (talk) 21:08, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
And that person is adamantly against merging the start/stub articles into the parent article. So I will not start a merge or delete dispute. I will suggest that my blog not be used as a reference for content. Thanks for your advice. David notMD (talk) 10:16, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Lateral headaches

Hi Doc James. In the headache article, would you be able to insert a link to occipital neuralgia? There is a brief mention of cranial neuralgia, but I am not sure whether that is the same thing, but in any case there is, at present, no dedicated link to "cranial neuralgia".

Furthermore, could you then refer to this neat treatment page[2] for occipital neuralgia triggered by the trapezius muscle? Or to a better textbook source which you feel may be more appropriate for Wikipedia? Referred trapezius headache is the first thing that comes up in google searches for lateral eyeache/headache, and that must mean it is a commonly experienced cause.

My concern is that at the moment, the headache article only briefly touches on the trivial causes and then expands on the sinister ones. Many an MRI scan could have been avoided if lateral headache/eyeache sufferers gave their cramped trapezius a quick massage to see whether that switches off their headache. It works in seconds/minutes.

Thank you. 86.170.122.149 (talk) 15:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Strangulated?

Hi James!
I feel the need to make at least a separate section about strangulated hernias, since the Strangulation (bowel) just redirects to volvulus without taking regard to other causes of bowel strangulation. Do you know if this case happened to be strangulated? There seem to be signs of inflammation around it.

How to write about treatments?

Hi Doc James - I'm recently sort of 'feeling the weight' of writing about cerebral palsy and its management, particularly as I seem to keep coming up with the theme that therapies used for people with CP are non-beneficial or with low evidence for their use, etc. I'm a bit worried about the consequences of my findings and how they're represented in the articles. Are you aware of anything more in the vein of the uni of Kansas's writing guide for medical journalists, but perhaps with Tony1-style exercises? How should a person write about treatments/management options? --122.108.141.214 (talk) 05:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Well we tend to include both a discussion of what is done plus a discussion of what the evidence shows. Often what is done is poorly supported by evidence. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:15, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
Ah, so it's that simple, is it? What is being done and if there's any evidence, what that says. Thanks for the guidance. --122.108.141.214 (talk) 02:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Protected until Aug 9th so that consensus can be developed on the talk page rather than continued editing warring. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:27, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Just had a quick look at this. Although Flyer22 Reborn and Martindo are obviously in a slow-burning edit war, I don't really think there was any need for a full-protection for more than 24 hours. Indeed, the protection policy states "Content disputes and edit warring may be addressed with blocks issued by uninvolved administrators while allowing normal page editing by other editors." so I am mindful to endorse Barbara (WVS)' request to unprotect the page, and give the two warring editors mentioned here a stern warning to leave the article alone. Sorry James, but your actions seem to be contrary to policy, so I really am minded to unprotect. However, I realise that will cause rancour so I'm going to hold off on doing so for a minute to let you reply to this. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:32, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
User:Ritchie333 when a slow edit war is ongoing, IMO it is much less drama to fully protect an article in the prewar state than wade in and start blocking established editors.
The rest of the policy you quote is "Under the protection policy, an alternative approach is available as administrators have the discretion to temporarily fully protect an article to end an ongoing edit war. This approach may be better suited to multi-party disputes and contentious content as talk page consensus becomes a requirement for implementation of requested edits."
Anyway currently at work and that article is not really SFW. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:45, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
I agree with this general approach; however it does fall apart when it disrupts neutral editors who've had nothing to do with the dispute and want to edit in an unrelated area. Also, I only recommended giving the pair a warning and nothing else - in my experience although Flyer22 can be quite, well, passionate about the stuff she writes, if you tell her to back off a bit (using slightly more polite language, of course), she will. I'm not anticipating either of these will need blocking. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Barbara has not working on that article in many months (they have made one edit there ever). Their involvement on the talk page would likely be useful to help with the development of consensus. Will look further in a bit. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:55, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

One more thing, the commonscat has a number of images of restraints used, not to secure patients during procedures, but to restrain the mentally ill. Would those be considered medical restraints?

Amisulpride

Hi, I see you made some edits to amisulpride in which you added that it was used to treat psychosis in schizophrenia and mania in bipolar disorder. It isn't approved by any regulatory administration (e.g. the TGA of Australia hasn't, even though it has approved it to treat schizophrenia) to treat mania, bipolar-related or not. I know in Canada it isn't approved for any purpose so you could be excused for thinking it was used for this purpose as most atypicals have indications for this. Amisulpride has some, albeit modest, efficacy in treating negative symptoms of schizophrenia (e.g. see PMID 23938176), so I don't see any value adding the "psychosis in" specifier for its use in schizophrenia.

You know a lot about this topic, so your expert views might help; I agree that many of the edits regarding him on antiarrhythmic agents have been inappropriate (both of us have deleted or reversed some of them), but do think that he reaches the notability threshold (professor who has founded a scientific journal, even ignoring the Vaughan Williams classification naming controversy).

Noticed this in passing: my feeling is that there is too much extraneous detail in the section (P values aren't needed, for example), too many details of the references/journals in the body of the text (we don't need to know if the body of the text that it was published in the "American Journal of Critical Care", as interested readers can see that in the reference list; no need for author lists in the body), and the text is too technical (you should pitch at a less expert audience).

I see the section is gone now, which is probably best. Thanks for reviewing. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:48, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Removal of Tim Weller Wikipedia page

Dear Doc James, I am ops director of Incisive Media in London and our chairman is a bloke called Tim Weller. I've noticed you have deleted Tim's Wikipedia page, could you advise how this has happened please and what I need to do to reinstate it. You can see from the previous sentence that I am employed by Incisive Media (and Tim is our non-exec chair and founder). I'd appreciate your advice, my email address is robin.shute@incisivemedia.com. Thanks and best wishes. Robin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robin Shute (talk • contribs) 07:35, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

I and some other users have been discussing possible solutions to the paid editing conundrum on IRC and I have been told that you and Jytdog are interested in this area (doing it here simply because Doc James was mentioned first).

One proposal was to create a new CSD criterion for "created by undisclosed paid editors". There has been a recent influx of paid page creation requests on websites such as Upwork and Fiverr recently and taking them through AfD seems a little surplus to requirements seeing as such editors blatantly violate the Terms of Use (when undisclosed, example [8] and the corresponding AfD [9]).

So I suppose the wording of such a criterion would be something like "A12" or "G14" - "This applies to pages which can be proven to have been commissioned for payment (with links to sites such as Fiverr) AND a userpage which, at the time of the creation of the article, does not disclose paid editor status".

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Thanks for your note. Please see here... Jytdog (talk) 21:03, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
Facepalm Facepalm I should really have noted that, especially as I've already offered input... DrStrauss talk 21:07, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
More minds thinking is a good thing! Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:36, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
User:DrStrauss may take a few RfC to get wording that a majority accepts. But agree this is important.
Planning a meet up at Wikimania on the topic per here
There is also discussion regarding the use of CUs on meta, but likely will need to adjust the wording further to get acceptance their aswell. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
