rare disease
why this ?? are you supreme authority on wikipedia ? Uricnobel (talk) 06:27, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
source
5% is called as rare
what Manual of Style ? has to do with technical info?
https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/dupuytrens-contracture/ Uricnobel (talk) 06:29, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- This is a better source and says "Dupuytren contracture occurs in about 5 percent of people in the United States." https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/dupuytren-contracture#statistics And does not call it rare.
- For a disease to be rare it must affect less than 1 in 2000 https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/pages/31/faqs-about-rare-diseases
- So the other website is not completely accurate. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:33, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Doc James may not make you Doc of All and Know it All. Uricnobel (talk) 06:34, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
fewer than 200,000 people
affecting fewer than 200,000 people is correct.
The source you mentioned is wrong, it is as per European Union definition. Wikipedia is not EU property.Uricnobel (talk) 06:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, the US legal definition (in a couple of places) is "any disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 persons in the United States", which is a much greater incidence than 200,000 person worldwide, but is still absurdly lower than 5% (it is 0.09% of the US population at the time of passage of the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, and getting lower all the time). This article has a little survey of definitions. I don't think that there is a mainstream definition that has a threshold that would classify a condition with 5% prevalence (5,000 in 100,000) as "rare". Bongomatic 00:39, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

I watched a documentary on Kratom titled "A Leaf of Faith". Wikipedia has no article on the 2018 documentary but does have an article on Kratom. I added a reference of this documentary to the Wiki article that you deleted and said that it should be listed with the movie. It was the movie. Why should the Wiki article not reference this documentary to wiki readers? Would you consider reversing your deletion?Eschoryii (talk) 03:57, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- Why is this documentary notable? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:50, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- I have never heard of Kratom. I am a pain patient who uses Fentanyl. I watched the documentary on Netflix. The use and abuse of opiates is explosive in America. This documentary definitely portrays Kratom as a useful treatment in lieu of opiates. It does state that the FDA has not approved its use. If Wikipedia has an article on Mitregyna Specosa the topic is notable or someone would want the article deleted. A documentary on the same topic would pass as notable. There were 72,000 opiate overdoes this year. Any treatment that could cause relief should be available to a Wiki reader. A reference to a documentary does not endorse it. I am relatively new to the Wiki world and its policies and those editors who enforce edits. I would like to understand why this information (the documentary) can not be referenced. Could an editor do a separate article on the documentary like a film article? I have no vested interest here. Just help me understand. Thanks.Eschoryii (talk) 20:53, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

In the film, you talked about using the kratom brand Urban Ice Organics [note: the founder of Urban Ice, Kelly Dunn, is an executive producer of the documentary, and Bell is also involved] ...

Fixing nicotine on Wikidata
Could you help setttle these two items for "nicotine" on Wikidata? (−)-nicotine (Q28086552) and nicotine (Q12144) One has no English label (but seems to have all the major external identifiers for nicotine, like Quora, LC Auth ID, JSTOR) and one has the English "nicotine" label (and points to the en.wp article nicotine). Merging them does not seem to be the right thing, but I don't now what is. Thanks! Also pinging Keilana. -- Fuzheado | Talk 14:43, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- User:Fuzheado So biological molecules generally come in two isomers (left and right) when you manufacture them chemically. Most stuff is a mixture of the two initially but only the left handed one is generally active / found in biological systems.
- We have lots of example in pharmacology like omeprazole and esoomeprazole. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:34, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Naloxone update
Thank you for advising regarding references in wikipedia. It was my first attempt. I see you have removed some of the references, claiming review articles etc were better. I agree, However, as the field of intranasal naloxone is rapidly moving forward, all my references were articles on medicinal products approved by the FDA in the US and EMA in Europe, and hold a higher scientific credibility as they have been scrutinised beyond a standard peer review. I think it is highly relevant for wikipedia users to be updated on naloxone products entering the marked (eg Narcan Nasal, Nyxoid and Ventizolve).

Civil
Doc James, I'm the user you reverted. Please discuss with me through the IP, as I don't want my account more associated with this topic than necessary. I do sincerely believe you are WP:Civil POV pushing, perhaps not to any extreme, nor intentional. I think you just believe the moral of suicide prevention has such absolutism that anyone challenging that morality would constitute absurdity comparable to flat-earth theory. I believe you believe the cause so noble, how could anyone question its nobility. Anyways, an article about the earth wouldn't be filled with evidence the earth is round. If suicide prevention was in fact so dominant than having the suicide article would be the flat earth article in the analogy and the suicide prevention article would be the earth article, now just look how well maintained the articles would be, and clearly that's because everyone who believes in suicide prevention wants to push their morality on those who don't so naturally those who didn't believe suicide should be believed in* or allowed would maintain an expert suicide prevention article to replace the suicide article, just like anyone pushing their pov on wikipedia would probably want to write the article about opposing or neutral opinions and probably careless about the article about their opinion since obviously the only people looking up that article likely already or will start believing that opinion since obviously that POV is so correct someone merely has to read about it to know that it's correct. (obviously not accurate)
- really though the article is written as though the author didn't believe a person could take their life without some "unnatural force" compelling them to.
I would recommend that you take a hands-off approach to editing the suicide article, unless either citing historical/anthropological sources or transporting material from suicide to suicide prevention.
Merely writing about suicide through a medical association/institute/establishment/proffessional's lens, presents POV since only those with that POV believe that suicide is a topic which legally belongs to them or their area. Sure, perhaps in most areas that's de facto reality, yet only for lack of who else would the topic belongs to (a church? [even worse bias]).
Also, the article needs that pov-check banner because most current editors watching the page do display this bias and non-wikipedians who read the article and also perceive the bias need invited to contribute. Otherwise, many will probably assume they'll get met with a mob.

Please don't just respond to this with a short quip.
Please respond to all my points, as I don't have any qualms if I wait a week or more for a response, to the contrary I will appreciate a slow thoughtful response more so long as that response comes eventually. I didn't want so involved, yet; I suppose I eased myself in enough that this isn't so terrible, so I'll be checking periodically. Lets try to have a calm thoughtful discussion about this!

- You and I appear to disagree the weight that different aspects of the topic should receive. The article has been stable a long time. Changes will need to be discussed and you will need to bring high quality sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:25, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- That doesn't really respond to any of my specific comments.
- What do you think about leaving up a pov-check banner for a little while,
- to invite further discussion, as well as
- determine if any of the article's regular visitors agrees with the points made?
- If I was to make a specific example about a detail belonging in the first paragraph of the lede, how about that Aztec human sacrifice rituals which with few exceptions required voluntary sacrifices? Or, that some anthropologist viewed that as a population control measure.
- That's a very notable historical phenomenon often brought up by individuals who seek to romanticize suicide.
- Japanese ritual suicide should also get mention.
- I don't think I'll be able to find a source which provides scientific evidence that suicide isn't a risk so much as a choice with motivations, because first I would need to find scientific evidence that debunks determinism otherwise known as causality, and that definitely falls outside the article's scope.

- I think you view scientific interpretations of fact as facts by extension, rather than opinions about facts.

Concerns about an editor
DJ- outside my area of expertise, but the editor Ketoacids appears to be exceptionally BOLD in editing carbon monoxide-releasing molecules, and more recently heme oxygenase. I had some interactions on the first topic because parts were being inserted into nutrient articles, but let it drop. Since August the heme oxygenase article has been increased nearly 5X in length, with a lot of the content apparently copied over from the editor's additions to the carbon monoxide article. There is a "See also" to the carbon monoxide-releasing molecules article. David notMD (talk) 10:05, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

- Following a request for comment, the process for appointing interface administrators has been established. Currently only existing admins can request these rights, while a new RfC has begun on whether it should be available to non-admins.
- There is an open request for comment on Meta regarding the creation a new user group for global edit filter management.
- Partial blocks should be available for testing in October on the Test Wikipedia and the Beta-Cluster. This new feature allows admins to block users from editing specific pages and in the near-future, namespaces and uploading files. You can expect more updates and an invitation to help with testing once it is available.
- The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team is currently looking for input on how to measure the effectiveness of blocks. This is in particular related to how they will measure the success of the aforementioned partial blocks.
- Because of a data centre test, you will be able to read but not edit the Wikimedia projects for up to an hour on 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time.
- The Arbitration Committee has, by motion, amended the procedure on functionary inactivity.
- The community consultation for 2018 CheckUser and Oversight appointments has concluded. Appointments will be made by October 11.
- Following a request for comment, the size of the Arbitration Committee will be decreased to 13 arbitrators, starting in 2019. Additionally, the minimum support percentage required to be appointed to a two-year term on ArbCom has been increased to 60%. ArbCom candidates who receive between 50% and 60% support will be appointed to one-year terms instead.
- Nominations for the 2018 Arbitration Committee Electoral Commission are being accepted until 12 October. These are the editors who help run the ArbCom election smoothly. If you are interested in volunteering for this role, please consider nominating yourself.

Jason Jay Smart
Hi Doc, I noticed suspected paid editing in Jason Jay Smart (also wrote in Talk:Jason Jay Smart but got no answer). Interestingly the article was translated by same user to many languages, and is "flooded" with poor sources. It was also translated to hewiki, where it was deleted for notability. I'm not well familiar with the rules in enwiki - whether is should be marked with rewrite/suspected paid editing template/deleted etc. Eran (talk) 15:36, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Seeking advice
Hi Doc, I am still researching on Jonathan Herald as you said and User: Spintendo provided with very good guidance. Thanks to both of you for being so helpful. Meanwhile, can you please advise me what can be done to remove the UDP and Advert tags in this article? Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Editing of typhoid vaccine page
I have used copy/paste as i already had the entire information on a word file, the info on this page regarding typhoid vaccines is not even 10%. There are newer types of typhoid vaccine now available.
- You can copy it to your sandbox and work on it further there. What you had was far from ready for publication. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:56, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
done
added[7]worked on it all morning(the 'area' one you had suggested[8] was somewhat difficult, I had to opt for 'bar')--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:17, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- User:Ozzie10aaaa what do you think about colored lines? We have the numbers to the right so we do not need numbers over each point. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:49, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- true colored lines could be enough, however for some readers specific numbers so they can follow the table below may be important as the outbreak progresses(as WHO's meeting indicates [9] this will be a long one)...IMO--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:22, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
