William Faloon's page
I'm not sure what you have against my William Faloon page, but it's frustrating that you keep deleting my writing, sources, and are now tagging with COI tags. I'm not sure what you have against this guy, but it's obvious that you have a problem with him. I have edited pages in the past, but am new to making a new page so I do anticipate having errors, but your mass deletion of things is absurd. Your COI tag is also completely unfounded. No one has paid me to write anything! I am simply interested in the transhumanist movement and William Faloon, a big player in the field, is one of the few people who doesn't have a page so I figured I'd go for it. I see now why he doesn't. People like you who are intent on shutting it down, even when references are given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmelandon (talk • contribs) 17:33, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- User:Jmelandon The issue is that you continue to add material that is not supported by the references provided...

- User:Jmelandon Okay were does this ref give his birthday?[1] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:49, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
William Faloon's Birthdate
"We were indicted on November 7, 1991 — my birthday," Faloon says. "People in jail were so apologetic, but I said, 'My birthday is the worst day of the year. You people are making it fun. Now I don't have to have people wishing me a happy one-year-closer-to-death.'?"
And
Faloon, born in 1954 to a Presbyterian family, remembers distinctly that "when I was 8 years old, I was told by my mother that everybody eventually dies. At that very moment, I refused to accept that concept."
His birthday is right there in the text, again, if you read this you would understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmelandon (talk • contribs) 18:00, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, keyboard typos. From my user page, "abd nabaged" had me cross-eyed until I saw the right-shift-left consistency.
- Long time ago an (external) article made a differentiation between "sins of commission" and "sins of omission". They wanted to point out the found association between "sins of omission" and being tired/distracted/hurried/etc. Thus I use occurrence of unintended and especially uncaught errors to signal myself that I might need time away. Mistyping would be a sin of commission, and is explainable in all the ways that make us human. Typos not seen on review would be a sin of omission, and a possible time to hit 'eject'. ;-) (I'm paranoid about using Show Preview because... history) Shenme (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

List_of_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans_winners
Hey Doc James,
The page List_of_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans_winners is being vandalized specifically changing 1966 winner to Ken Miles. The controversy has been explained in the article 1966_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans (probably due to Ford vs. Ferrari movie). I have reverted the edits last done to the page. However, 3 more reverts was done before me on the same topic.

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
November 2019
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Onasemnogene abeparvovec; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — kashmīrī TALK 12:43, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Watching two regular editors template each other is a thing that speaks for itself. NO, medical articles do not have a set structure: you are both wrong. Guidelines are guidelines, and medical articles have a suggested structure, subject to consensus as with all matters of guideline interpretation. This is lame: both of you, please stop using an incorrect interpretation of a guideline as an excuse to edit war to impose a personal preference. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:03, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Just a note to keep you "in the loop" regarding my criticms and proposals for the above. I will not be editing it again until some sort of consensus is achieved, perhaps via the "Psychosis talk page". I have patience and time, but I think action is required in regards to all that I have said there.

First undo purported 1. changed meaning? 2. POV? My additions were to provide a point of view which is supported by modern science. Second undo was for poor sources? I added more robust sources, and I can find more to support my edits, but you don't explain what makes them poor.
If you think the article is great as it is and doesn't need more balance, because it portrays the issues relating to my edits as unquestionable facts that are in no way under dispute, then undo my edits, fine. Your rationale for undoing my edits is not justified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timothyvail (talk • contribs) 19:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Misleading prices
Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles#International Medical Products Price Guide.
James, since you seem to be the sole editor involved in adding "wholesale developing world" prices using the International Medical Products Price Guide and (retail) prices for the US using Drugs.com, I think you should explain how you arrived at the figures quoted in the articles. Particularly how you worked out a "per dose" or "per day" price or how you chose which formulation or tablet size or syrup strength to pick when you quoted the price. Were you using Supplier prices or Buyer prices or both? I think the figures given are all wrong and misleading and should be removed from all our articles. -- Colin°Talk 18:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Sure. This is based on the Defined Daily Dose of 1.5 gram (so three tablets).[4]
- Have updated from 2014 to 2015 so changed "The wholesale cost in the developing world is between US$0.14 and US$0.52 per day." to "The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$0.40 per day as of 2015."
- The updates were minor adjustments just going to show that medication prices do not generally make wild swings. The prior prices were useful. The current prices are a little more clear.
- Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:00, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- I'll replay at the linked discussion. A major issue is that none of the prices I have examined match what our article claims. Not one. -- Colin°Talk 08:55, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Doc, I am not clear as to what your suggestions (i.e. " "Wondering if we should have a one to three paragraph overview for each of the three types in the body of the article. And than move each type to its own subpage") mean in terms of what I should do for the article Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL}. Do you suggest 1) placing a 1-3 paragraph overview at the beginning of the description for each MZL type; 2) a 1-3 paragraph overview at the start of the MZL article; or 3) have the MZL article overview the three subtypes and make each of the subtypes a separate article? Prior to my update and expansion of the Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, there were 4 Wikipedia articles on this: Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, MALT lymphoma, Nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma, and Splenic marginal zone lymphoma. Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma and MALT lymphoma are the same clinical entity; the Nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma consists of 3 lines and 3 citations, the newest of which is from 2008; and the Splenic marginal zone lymphoma article's latest citation is from 2006. These Marginal zone B-cell lymphomas have recently (2016) been reclassified into the three types, extranodal, nodal, and splenic, with the extranodal type having numerous subtypes. My idea was to reflect this update by combining the four separate articles into one. The advantage of having one article devoted to the three types is that it describes the similarities in their mechanisms of development and other features. If one article on MZL is preferred, I would combine the MALT lymphoma, nodal, and splenic articles into the MZL article. If an overview MZL article plus separate articles on each type is preferred, I would merge the Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma part of MZL with the MALT article to make a asingle Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma article, merge the Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma part of MZL with the nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma article, and merge the splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma part of MZL with the splenic marginal lymphoma article (termed splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma). Please advise me on you view of on these questions. joflaher (talk) 1O:38, 29 November 2019 (Eastern Standard Time, USA)
- User:joflaher I was thinking having something like the following. But your call...
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma
"Most of the details go in the above."
EMZLs are a from of MZL in which malignant marginal zone B-cells initially infiltrate MALT tissues of the stomach (50-70% of all EMZL) or, less frequently, the esophagus, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, conjunctiva of the eye, nasal passages, pharynx, lung bronchi, vulva, vagina, skin, breast, thymus gland, meninges (i.e. membranes) that envelop the brain and spinal cord, or other organs.[1][2] These EMZLs are classified into subtypes based on the organ(s) involved. For example, EMZL of the stomach is termed primary gastric EMZL. Regardless of subtype, these EMZLs share similar pathophysiological (i.e. disordered physiological processes that cause the disease) and histopathological (i.e. microscopic featues of diseased tissues). However, the subtypes differ in presentation, progression, severity, treatment, and instigating factors.
With maybe another paragraph or two overview but all the specifics in the subpage. And the same with the other two types.

additions to botulism page
thanks for letting me know about how to use the talk page. This will let us talk through how to best expand the iatrogenic botulism. The medical knowledge about botulism is scattered and inconsistent between countries and even between "thought leaders" in institutions. I feel wikipedia provides an excellent venue to aggregate the available information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skye Bravo (talk • contribs) 03:30, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
December 7, 2019: The entry reads under injection reads, "...use of inappropriate strengths" which is clearly not accurate based on hundreds of documented cases of botulism post-Botox at FDA approved amounts. I can produce as many peer-reviewed citations as necessary to establish this point. To NOT include this vital perspective, is to allow consumers to be educated with a half-truth....YES, botulism can (and has) occur from inappropriate uses and YES, botulism HAS occurred with standard of care doses and FDA approved doses.
It would be a fallacy to assume something is true based on assumptions, rather than intensely-researched medical facts. Getting a second opinion from another person who lacks the same intensely-researched medical facts does not make the original premise valid. It makes two misinformed physicians. What I am offering to you (and the world) is EVIDENCE to chip away at the IGNORANCE that has grown around botulinum toxin, a substance developed by the US military to use in biological warfare and a substance that remains a Select Agent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skye Bravo (talk • contribs) 18:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello! My name is Daniella and I edited the article “Cauda equina syndrome” in which I added information about this disease in dogs. You edited the article and removed about 5,000 characters from my work, and I was wondering why, since the view history just addressed “moved to subapge”. Could you please give some more information about this edit? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaniellaR07 (talk • contribs) 07:02, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

people with atrophic gastritis may be asymptomatic.

Just an FYI. Maybe you can talk some sense into User: Freeknowledgecreator. They're busy reverting a rather small, uncontroversial change on HIV/AIDS denialism [6] and not interacting well with other editors, including veteran editors. They could use a talking to since they're being rather silly and starting to get hostile. It seems they haven't read that WP:WHALE is humorous and not supposed to be taken all that seriously. Thanks, James. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 03:06, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
User:TylerDurden8823 and User:Freeknowledgecreator I have looked at the situation in question. I think Tylers change of drug to medication makes sense as it is clearer. Freeknowledge I agree that if you remove a comment by someone else from your talk page they should not return it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:23, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
