You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Performance-enhancing substance. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Jytdog (talk) 01:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Wikipedia

Every time you edit Wikipedia and click "save", you have already agreed to follow the Terms of Use. (if you reply, while you have the edit window open, look down, below "Watch this page" and above the "save changes" button. It says: "By saving changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license."

WP:MEDRS is a crucial guideline.

You cannot just keep ignoring it. Please read and follow it. If you don't understand it, please ask, and I will be happy to explain it.

Thanks Jytdog (talk) 04:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did read it. I am not ignoring it, the sources are totally valid, stop reverting the edits.
The refs are not valid per MEDRS. This is just not some "rule" somebody pulled out of their butt. The community developed it for very good reasons and we apply it consistently for very good reasons. If you don't understand why the community developed MEDRS please ask. Please. Jytdog (talk) 05:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes we need secondary sources such as review articles not primary sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:08, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MEDRS doesn't say that secondary or tertiary sources are necessary, there is a section on wording primary sources. It says that they generally should not be used. Generally.

MEDRS says what we should do; when policies and guidelines say "should" they mean "should" - you need a good reason to do something different, and you have refused to justify your blowing off the guideline. It actually is OK to use primary sources from time to time (rarely) and you do need to justify when you do it. Jytdog (talk) 21:08, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And more importantly, if the community allows you to pick some random primary sources and add content based on them, we have to let everyone do that. We have to let the autism advocate and the salesperson from Pfizer and the person who believes in Powerful Herbs do it too - in other words, all kinds of garbage content comes streaming into WP. That is what you are arguing for. Why would you do that? That is a real question. Jytdog (talk) 21:22, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please do answer the question above. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:56, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just because primary sources are used, doesn't mean low quality alternative medicine ideas can be brought inPetergstrom (talk) 22:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are not getting it. Everything in WP starts with sources. Not my opinion or yours about what is good science or not. There are so, so many arguments we avoid by excluding content due to the sources it was based on. We would waste an incredible amount of dealing with shitty content if we allowed people to use primary sources freely. Again, this was the reason MEDRS was developed. It saves us from so many horrible arguments with advocates of all kinds. When you have been around a while this will become more clear to you. Jytdog (talk)

Sounds good dad.Petergstrom (talk) 00:00, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's exactly what it means, because "low quality alternative medicine ideas" show up in lots of primary sources, but don't appear in the high quality secondary sources that MEDRS requires (other than to be debunked). Here are the ideas you want inserted into CFS:
  • "altered cytokines early in the course of the disease compared to those with longer term disease" - sourced to a single 2015 study;
  • "altered cytokine levels that differed between severe and moderate CFS patients" - sourced to a a single 2015 study;
Why should those specific ideas override the present article text? "Elevated levels of cytokines involved in generating sickness behavior have been found in those with CFS, however the results have not been consistent." - sourced to a 2008 systematic review, and affirming that results have been found to vary from one study to another. Once you accept what the secondary source is saying about inconsistent results, you can see that there's no point in trying to cite individual studies because you have no basis to assume that these are not outliers. Now do you understand? --RexxS (talk) 00:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

November 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chronic fatigue syndrome. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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; 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. RexxS (talk) 22:33, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Threading

Hello! Your ANI thread would be significantly easier to follow—and more likely to gain serious attention—if you would thread your posts correctly by indenting each paragraph of your replies exactly one level deeper than the comment to which you are replying. Please review WP:THREAD for examples. Note that threading is required by our guidelines, although compliance is rarely enforced. See WP:TPYES ("Keep the layout clear: Keep the talk page attractively and clearly laid out, using standard formatting and threading." (emphasis added)). Thank you for your time. Rebbing 03:24, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stuff

Here on your userpage you noted what happened at MDMA and you wrote "I learned about the importance of rhetoric". Please go deeper. Things like blowing off community norms about indenting noted above, ignoring WP:MED's emphasis on high quality sourcing and careful summarizing, and the general ethos here about authentically talking through disagreements, are all deep in the guts of this place in big and small ways. You need to take other people (especially established editors) more seriously as people and engage with them. Doing things like indenting correctly is a sign that you respect other people and their need to be able follow discussions. (small thing that signals deeper things) But instead you are establishing a pattern of not taking other people and community norms seriously, and it is hurting you. I noted this at the ANI here. I am not hopeless about you but my hope is dimming. fwiw. I hope you can turn things around. Jytdog (talk) 06:19, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jytdog Pretty much, I argued my case poorly(which I still do). In the end, the addictiveness was changed to low moderate, from moderate, because of all the sources pulled out, not a single one but my old crappy sources actually explicitly stated anything about addiction.

Hi,

This is to let you know that I have closed the ANI thread that you opened against Flyer22 Reborn. You have been topic banned from medicine and religion for 6 months and that ban will be swiftly re-applied if the pattern of editing continues. I have also found your harassment allegations of Flyer22 Reborn completely unsubstantiated. I would also remind you not to give the appearance of harassing someone, if anyone finds your interaction with them problematic, stop it or change it. You are also encouraged not to make aspersions or assumptions about someone's mental status.--5 albert square (talk) 23:01, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting references, again

So you are back to high speed editing of medical content.

And again you are not providing pmids and pmc it is available.

Wny do we have to go through all of this again?? Again, if you fill out the autocomplete form with the pmid, it will do everything else for you. If there is a pmc you need to add that manually but that is the only thing... . This is not even a little bit hard to understand or to do.

You put the pmc in the pmid parameter.
You don't need url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3972003/
all that is needed is pmc=3972003
really, if you put in the pmid field (in this case 19432385) the tool will autofill a perfect ref; all you need to do is click the "show additional fields" and fill in the pmc manually and click "insert ref" and there will be no problems.

What is your standard for deleting "primary sources"?

I have noticed that your article on Hyperreligiosity relies on widely spectulative primary sources, yet you deleted a whole chunk of the relationship between genetics and psychopathy from numerous authors and sources without even going to the talk page. I would like to know if you have an actual standard for deleting "widely spectulative primary sources" or if it is more of a "I have decided I don't agree with this so I will delete it" thing. Also please do notice that WP:PRIMARY makes it clear that primary sources are allowed if they are a straightforward quote of what is being discusssed. -Penorhaxs (talk) 14:02, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, before I restore that chunk of text, all I need from you is a definition of "reliable source" that we can agree upon, so that we avoid a pointless edit-war. Once I am provided with that, I will review each link and filter those that we can agree are reliable sources. Thank you, - Penorhaxs (talk) 14:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we can agree that PubMed is a good starting point? Wikipedia guidelines seem to think so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)#Searching_for_sources -Penorhaxs (talk) 14:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Penorhaxs:The very fact that you characterize the sources on the hyperreligiosity page as "primary" leads me to the conclusion that you completely fail to understand the concept-A primary source is one that reports its own experiment, while a secondary source reviews the current literature.
From discussions from other users above, it seems like you actually don't know what a primary source is or what is primary research, so this is not a first time. Case in point is your article quoting: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1440-1819.1998.00397.x/full IT is CLEARLY a primary source: it is a research paper which slowly describes the method used and the raw data captured, and then expand into its immediate conclusions without further review. It is not a summary by a third party, neither a meta-analysis, in any sort of way, it is LITERALLY original research that you are linking, and the same happens with numerous other links that you have posted.
So unless you provide me with a clear definition of what is actually a primary source that is compatible with your random tastes, I will proceed to clear the text that you randomly deleted from Psychopathy from possible original research links, and replace them with actual links from meta-analysis from PubWeb, which should take me one day or two. If you desire, before I put the text back in, I can provide you with links to the third-party reviews from Pubmed that we can discuss so that we can agree on their validity, like mature men do. Does that sound good to you, or shall I expect childish random deletions? I mean really, what I want is to avoid the random "undo / rollback" that sadly dominates this kind of arguments. -Penorhaxs (talk) 16:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Penorhaxs: There is generally no reason to use a primary source. However, in WP:Primary exceptions are discussed. When quality secondary sources can be used in place of primary sources, they should be, however in the hyperreligiosity article, there are few secondary sources. A primary source reinforcing a secondary source is justifiable. The psychopathy article is not the same.Petergstrom (talk) 16:52, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are few secondary sources because Hyper-Religiousity is not an actual "psychiatric disturbance" recognized by any medical bureau. The entire article seems to be your own original research combined with other people's original research. "Hyperreligiosity is a psychiatric disturbance in which a person experiences intense religious beliefs or experiences that interfere with normal functioning." is a case of According to Whom?. Where did you take that definition of hyperreligiousity from? The origin of it seems to be yourself entirely, there are zero links to its definition because it is not recognized as such, and it is instead seen as a symptom of far more complex manias. If I review more of your articles I am sure I will find even more widespread original research.
Anyhow. I am going to write the improved version of the genetics section of Psychopathy, and I just wanna know, can we review it together before I submit it, or will it be a back and forth until arbitration? Can we work like that, in a peaceful manner, so that we won't be reverting each other randomly and waste everyone's time? I mean really, you are a hedonist, surely you have more enjoyable things than going into the endless waste of time of arbitration because you wanna remove the text that had been part of the article for years before Vrie0006 decided to delete it last year without awaiting for discussion? -Penorhaxs (talk) 17:07, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Penorhaxs: Hyperreligiosity is a symptom in psychiatry, not a disorder. It is not original research, perhaps you should review that term as well :WP:OR.
Again, According to whom. Who says that "Hyperreligiosity is a psychiatric disturbance in which a person experiences intense religious beliefs or experiences that interfere with normal functioning"? You? Someone else? Can you provide with a link? The article even includes obvious spelling errors (Hyperrelgiosity, really?) it is quite evident it is made largely of original research. WP:OR could not be even clearer: all material added to articles must be attributable to a reliable, published source. The very first phrase of the articles has no such scientific attribution whatsoever. The rest of it is research papers describing experiments and conclusions, not actual encyclopedic material.
Again, Can we review an improved version of Psychopathy together, or do I have to expect childish, mindless undos? -Penorhaxs (talk) 17:23, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Penorhaxs: Again ACCORDING TO THE 10 SOURCES CITED, only a minority of which are primary source that support the wealth of secondary sources.

The psychopathy article does not need a genetics section, made up of entirely primary sources. If you can find a review, go ahead and make the section.Petergstrom (talk) 17:27, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough. I will be making the required chances so that the article can have a proper genetics sections. You shall see it up in a few days, according to my work schedule. Peace. -Penorhaxs (talk) 17:32, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

  1. Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
  2. We do that, by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF)
  3. Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
  4. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead, that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
  5. More generally see WP:MEDHOW
  6. Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
  7. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  8. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
  9. Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
  10. Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
  11. Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
  12. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
  13. Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

Deletion discussion about Biology of bipolar disorder

Hello, Petergstrom,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Biology of bipolar disorder should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biology of bipolar disorder .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

@Dschslava: I have not had a lot of experience with the AFD process, and am wondering why the article was put up for deletion in the first place. There has been no activity on the AFD for the page since I last posted there, and am curious to know when the deletion proposal will be rejected.Petergstrom (talk) 15:55, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When you undo an edit, you are supposed to explain why, either in the SUMMARY or on the TALK page

Hi there! I am glad to see that you have knowledge of neurochemistry.

I noticed that you undid my addition to the article on Parkinson's Disease about the current hypothesis that PD may originate in the gut. But you did not explain why you undid my edit--neither in the Edit Summary nor on the article's TALK page. That's not how we do things at Wikipedia. For every edit you make, you are ALWAYS supposed to put something in the Summary Line to explain what you have done and why (unless the "why" is manifestly obvious from the edit itself, in which case you still should enter what you have done). A summary can be very short but you are never supposed to leave it blank. I have been gently rebuked in the distant past by a Wikipedia moderator for having failed to understand this.

Accordingly, I have replaced my addition. If you think it should be removed, the way we handle a situation like that is you add a new section to the article's TALK page, describe your opinion about the edit in question, and your reason for your opinion. Then, you wait for other users to chime in and eventually, when consensus emerges, you go with the consensus.

Best wishes, HandsomeMrToad (talk) 01:12, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads-up...sci-hub.tw is now blacklisted here on en.wp, so you might have problems when you next try to edit User:Petergstrom/sandbox unless you remove the links to that site. DMacks (talk) 22:11, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inquiry from a Public Relations Representative for electroCore on Updating Wikipedia Articles

Hello Petergstrom,

My name is Matt Nemet and I am a Public Relations professional at GCI Health, a firm specializing in healthcare. One of our clients, electroCore (a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine company), has expressed interest in increasing patient awareness on vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment for headaches, and views Wikipedia as a valuable outlet to focus on as they market gammaCore Sapphire (a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator). The company’s current focus is in multiple conditions, including cluster headache and migraine.

In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released gammaCore for the acute treatment of pain associated with episodic cluster headache in adult patients, and this year, the FDA cleared gammaCore for the acute treatment of pain associated with migraine headache in adult patients. However, we would also like to bring to your attention a recent review of cervical vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of primary headache disorders, published in the Journal of Pain Research on August 27th.

We know that Wikipedia users depend on active and reputable editors for reliable content. We also felt that given your previous efforts editing Wikipedia pages such as migraine, you might be interested in considering this review to include up-to-date information on vagus nerve stimulation and/or gammaCore on relevant Wikipedia pages, such as vagus nerve stimulation for example.

We want to be upfront in our awareness that, per Wikipedia guidelines, neither the company nor those directly associated with the company can make such edits. It is an important set of rules and guidelines that we respect, as our priority is ensuring Wikipedia has the most current and relevant information possible. Therefore, we are reaching out, if you are willing to assess the value of the proposed information to make accurate and appropriate updates.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Peter, I'm working on getting bipolar disorder to GA. It's basically there but I'm just wondering if you might be able to help me out on the mechanism section.
