Edit warring on List of countries by prevalence of genital cutting

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at List of countries by prevalence of genital cutting shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You've now reverted the article's text twice, changing the wording used from that explicitly used on the cited source (The Guardian). It says circumcision is banned from Australian public hospitals, not that it is not permitted.[1]

Please do not return wrong stuff to Wikipedia again. And circumcision is not banned from public hospitals, it is only cosmetic circumcision that is not permitted. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:27, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I need assistance

The article 2019 United States outbreak of lung illness linked to vaping products contains a large amount of wording that is emotionally loaded - I feel this is in violation of WP:Soap but since this is more of a clinical topic than a biochemical one - I humbly ask for assistance

(talk page stalker) 2019 United States outbreak of lung illness linked to vaping products § Patients may be in need of cleaning up, especially the image of the hospital bed social media appeal. ☆ Bri (talk) 13:49, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

User:QuackGuru is very adamant about keeping the soap boxing as seen on the articles talk page Mfernflower (talk) 16:51, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

The hospital bed patient and image is a salient topic. Anyone can create a new article. It is a violation of NPOV to hide the content under a rug.
If the section needs cleaning up I can start a new splinter article for the patients section. There are more people alive than dead and they are talking about their near-death experience. Daniel allegedly died after vaping. QuackGuru (talk) 17:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)


Wikipedia policy says the image is in violation of wp:soap as advocacy is explicitly forbidden on WP

Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise. An article can report objectively about such things

If the patient campaign is notable, than we can discuss and illustrate it. The big thing is we need to decrease duplication between Vaping-associated pulmonary injury and 2019 outbreak of lung illness linked to vaping products. Do we really need both?

Factitious disorder imposed on another

Hello. Could you kindly clarify the concerns you had regarding my edit to Factitious disorder imposed on another? "They" is plural, and using "they" in this context is technically incorrect, even though many people use it in everyday conversation. 75.139.254.124 (talk) 21:42, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

This is easy to understand "Therapy may help when the caregiver realizes they need help." this is much less so "Therapy may help when the caregiver gains insight." Insight in this context is not widely known. "they" is gender neutral of he / she / they

Coprophagia

Good day,

I have followed your suggestion, and updated the Talk Page on the topic of Infant Coprophagia. I don't want to make an edit war, so will be a bit more careful, it just seems to me to be relevant information, so I think it would be good either that somebody acknowledges that this information and it's sources are valid, or that proper counter-arguments backed by scientific sources are presented. I am also willing to first make a draft and post it in the talk page, if that seems necesary

PS: The topic I have written on is clearly ethological, not medicinal, so I don't see the need for references per WP:MEDRSFreieFF (talk) 20:32, 17 October 2019 (UTC) FreieFF (talk) 19:09, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Coprophagia is a medical topic. Clearly. That it also concerns non-human animals does not make it any less a medical topic. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 07:55, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Your opinion/expert advice on when to/wikipedia's policy on labelling something "pseudoscience"

Hello! I came across an edit to Bernard Selz where someone had removed the term "pseudoscience" when used to describe the movie Vaxxed. The Vaxxed article says it "is a 2016 American pseudoscience documentary film alleging a cover-up". Before just reverting the Bernard Selz edit, I thought I'd do some due diligence and looked at the first five references for the Vaxxed article, and none of them have the word "pseudoscience" in them. I looked at several other references in that article with the same results.

From: Pseudoscience : "Pseudoscience can be harmful. For example, pseudoscientific anti-vaccine activism [my emphasis] and promotion of homeopathic remedies as alternative disease treatments can result in people forgoing important medical treatment with demonstrable health benefits. "

But from: WP:WORDS "Contentious_labels" says: With regard to the term "pseudoscience": per the policy Neutral point of view, pseudoscientific views "should be clearly described as such". Per the content guideline fringe theories, the term "pseudoscience" may be used to distinguish fringe theories from mainstream science, supported by reliable sources.

I figured you would be likely to have good knowledge/experience in this area....what is your advice here? and/or Can you point me to any policy areas I missed in my search?

Thanks!!! ---Avatar317(talk) 05:10, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Good afternoon Doc James,

I'll start by saying I am new to the world of editing Wikipedia and find it very enjoyable. I enjoy evaluating drug information. I noticed that you have edited nearly everything I edit, you're very up to date on all medications. Very cool... I appreciate all of your changes and I am taking notes. I recently created my first page "USP 800". It is a brief summary of the new guidelines for handling hazardous drugs. If you have a minute would you please check it out and let me know of anything that should be changed.

Down syndrome

As I had worked in the late Dr. Nitowsky's laboratory and even provided some assistance in preparing the original paper, I was disappointed to see my short addition to the Down Syndrome article removed. Mentioning the date and origin of the first blood test does not seem out of line to me, nor providing a link to the original paper.

Down syndrome

Here is a link to the abstract of original paper linking low maternal serum AFP to Down Syndrome discovered in 1983 and published in 1984.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6201071

At the time, our lab was being transferred from Pediatrics to OB/GYN where Dr. Merkatz was chairman. For political reasons, Nitowsky allowed Merkatz to be first author even though he had nothing to the do with the discovery. Only Nitowsky had access to AFP and karyotype results. At that time, blood for AFP testing was sent to a lab operated by Macri, while cytogenetic work was done in house. I do not recall Johnson's position after all these years. There was communication between Dr. Nitowsky and Jack Canick in the UK, who published confirmation of the findings. Canick went on to make other discoveries in the field. Nitowsky opposed patenting of the use of AFP testing for Down Syndrome screening. This was unlike the discoverers of other markers used in the present triple and quad tests.

I would also mention that earlier forms of ultrasound lacked the resolution to detect anything beyond the position of the fetus prior to amniocentesis. What we had in the 1990s was a far cry from what we had in the early 1970s. Today, neural tube defects can be detected without reliance on AFP levels. David H.

A Grammar Error

Hello Doc James

I just want to let you know about a grammatical error, which I found out during the translation of the article "Down syndrome". It is written: ... the risk of other non blood cancers are decreased. (The "chapter" 1. Sign and symptoms - 1.5 Cancer) As I know it should be is (the risk is) and the grammar editor, which I use, says the same.

I would like to correct the mistake by myself and do not bother you but the article is semi-protected which does not allow me to do any corrections.

Acute Sinusitis Addition

Doc, I am brand new to Wikipedia and attempted to add valuable insight to acute sinusitis that we published in the New England J of Medicine. The CT findings and associated measures document the degree to which viral infection (common cold) affects sinus function and is truly a "rhinosinusitis". I thought its placement was appropriate to the text. Please let me know what happened or what I need to do.

I revert, and Shanefiddle adds in again. I have replied, expressing my concerns, on the article's talk page and Sf's Talk page, including mention that repetition of this behavior could lead to one or both of us being temporarily blocked. My hope is that this tempers Sf's enthusiasm, which has as a foundation a severe allergy to soy. David notMD (talk) 21:00, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

On source reliability

Dear James,

I would like to thank you for the clarification on the use of medical sources on Wikipedia and the distinction of high-quality sources. I was merely wondering whether together with the use of primarily secondary sources and discouragement of primary sources, is there a certain 'limit' as to how old a source can be? I have noticed many of the sources I use are 7 years-old or more. New research is being released constantly so I was just curious whether a source published in 2011 or something of the like could be acceptable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CEHughes77 (talk • contribs) 13:29, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

User:CEHughes77 The current reference is a 2019 review published in Pediatrics.[4]

Dear James, Thank you for the clarification. Please ignore my previous attempts at modifying the section on dermatitis as I was using outdated material. I read through the 2019 article and it seems newer studies have already addressed the points in the previous articles I attempted to cite.

Once again, thank you for providing information that will assist me in providing reliable information on this Website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CEHughes77 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Help with Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma

DocJames, I have just extensively revised and updated the Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma page.

Together, the old edition of the Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma page and the other three lymphoma pages give an incorrect or misleading picture of Marginal zone B-cell lymphomas as they are now regarded.

Question

Hi, Doc James, I have a Quackwatch/Gary Null-related medical question. (I agree that Null's health claims are generally spurious.) In Barrett's critique of Null's thesis, he says:

The "medical evaluation" included two tests. One compared each volunteer's blood pressure when lying down and when standing up. The other was a chemical test for the amount of sodium and chloride in the urine. Null claims that these tests can detect "diminished adrenal function." Unfortunately for his thesis, they have no practical value for this purpose. [emphasis added] [5]

Is Barrett correct? I was under the impression that orthostatic/postural hypotension might indicate primary adrenal insufficiency or hypoaldosteronism. Cheers, gnu57 18:51, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

User:Genericusername57 orthostatic hypotension is super common. Well it can occur in primary adrenal insufficiency and hypoaldosteronism I would not use it to diagnosis either.
If one wants to diagnose primary adrenal insufficiency/ Addison's disease it is generally based on blood tests.[6] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:44, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Medically assisted death

I just found out that "Medically Assisted Death" is a valid term and not a euphemism; in fact it is the title of this book. However, it seems to be an umbrella term for things that encompass not just physician assisted suicide (PAS) but also "the withholding and withdrawing of medical and other treatment" (p. 2). If I'm correct perhaps the wording should be changed from MAD to PAS at an article that's about to appear on the main page?

Dr. Theo Wallimann

It is regarding the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_Wallimann

I represent Dr. Theo Wallimann, It is true that Dr. Theo Wallimann, has hired the following users: 911dheeraj, to edit his page. But we are not aware of their sockpuppetry. We tried to contact them, but they weren't helpful in removing the UDP template.

I would like to know how can I remove the UDP template? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LarsCedric (talk • contribs) 06:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
