MrADHD - source review is finished (finally!). I have some notes for you to review either address or explain as needed. Many of the items are very quick to fix, and in the few cases where I found a source non-WP:RS I've tried to provide an alternative. Once these are addressed we'll go through the prose review. Looking good so far, sourcing was largely very good. Zad6802:19, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Moving forward again now. Nearly all sourcing items were addressed adequately. There's a few more fiddly things I need to check, and I've moved just those notes below the (now collapsed) sourcing table. Will start the prose review. Zad6802:19, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Prose review finished now, mostly small things that can be fixed quickly. You can go ahead and do those now. I have a small number of outstanding sourcing issues I'd like to review and will provide notes on in a bit, nothing overwhelming. Zad6815:46, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All notes done now. There's a bit of content regarding Executive Function that has to be updated to WP:MEDRS-compliant sourcing, that's probably the biggest chunk of work, and a number of other items ranging from there down to trivial. Once this round is complete we should be very close to done. Turning back over to you. Zad6818:41, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On further reflection, Barkley's online course really doesn't meet sourcing requirements, I've added requests to re-source or remove the content. Zad6815:07, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Now only two very small items left, an attribution is needed for the views of Neill and one grammar/clarity fix is needed in the section on High IQ children. Identified below with red Ns. Zad6816:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
Sourcing review complete, all items addressed satisfactorily or moved to notes below
In general I'm concerned about the sourcing. There's far too many individual articles being used to support just one or two facts in the article. I feel like we're getting a scattershot view of the disorder in the article, and not a homogeneous overview with the various symptoms and related concepts selected and presented in due weight. Zad6802:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In this table:
Source lists the source as cited in the article
Seems WP:RS? means, "Does this source appear to meet WP:RS for reliable sourcing?"
Use OK? means, is the source used appropriately in the article? For the review, a few selected sources will be spot-checked to ensure they aren't plagiarized and support the article content. ? indicates the source was not spot-checked.
Notes will summarize problems found and what needs to be done to fix them

While pubmed considers it a study, when reading it it seems closer to a review; However, it is a review on high functioning children, and not specifically ADHD. Moreover it only has a 3 paragraphs in the whole article in connection with learning disabilities, and only one from those (the one cited) on ADHD, consisting in a citation from a primary source. I copy here all the text from the article on ADHD:
In a recent study, Loureiro et al. have shown that highly gifted children with ADHD have a particular neuropsychological profile with an important difference (at least 20 points) between verbal IQ and performance IQ at Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC III) when compared to highly gifted children without ADHD.
The fact that the reference focuses on a narrow subject (cognitive and developmental issues in high intelligent children) makes it a higher quality source. We want focused sources rather than sources that skim over lots of bits of information. It would of course be better if more time was given to ADHD in this article but there is not a huge amount of research in high intelligence ADHD children. This large gap occurs in autism spectrum disorder and could contribute to a misdiagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in a high IQ ADHD child - how does it benefit our readers to remove this content from this article? I think that it is a disservice to our readers to remove this content from the article as it is an important finding in high IQ ADHD youth. Thoughts?--MrADHD | T@1k?23:41, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Following sources are used only in lead and not in body. Generally the article lead should not have sources or content that aren't covered in the body:
Bray 2011, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, CDC "ADHD Diagnosis", A.D.A.M, Nair 2006, Rader 2009, Van Cleave 2008, others...
For a specific example, look at the epidemiology information, it's sourced in the lead but unsourced in the body. It really should be the other way around.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), symptoms emerge before seven years of age. - are there other noteworthy "official" diagnoses other than the DSM? If not, this sort of attribution is probably not necessary. To more closely reflect the source, consider "A diagnosis requires that significant symptoms appear before age 7."

and is diagnosed in about 2 to 16 percent of school-aged children. - does this need to be localized to the USA?
X Not addressed yet; the journal article used cites uptodate.com, I don't have access, can you please ask Doc James to check out whether uptodate.com localizes this figure of "2 to 16 percent" to the USA or not? I've often seen that the writing in country-specific journals (this one's named "American Family Physician") assume the scope of their country and not a global scope.
Answer is: The article content stating 2 to 16 percent should be qualified as in the USA.

The article is quoting big chunks of the NIMH document. I think that's actually OK as it's the public domain product of the US Gov't, but I put in a question to Moonriddengirl to make sure it's OK.

Inattention and hyperactive behavior are not necessarily the only problems in children with ADHD. ADHD exists alone in only about 1/3 of the children diagnosed with it.[citation needed] The combination of ADHD with other conditions can greatly complicate diagnosis and treatment. Many co-existing (comorbid) conditions require other courses of treatment and should be diagnosed separately instead of being grouped in the ADHD diagnosis.[citation needed] - need sources

Anxiety and depression are some of the disorders that can accompany ADHD. Academic studies, and research in private practice suggest that depression in ADHD appears to be increasingly prevalent in children as they get older, with a higher rate of increase in girls than in boys, and to vary in prevalence with the subtype of ADHD. - unsourced
Hyperactivity also seems to be primarily a genetic condition; however, other causes have been identified.[46] - Sourced to Barkley's on-line course. On further reflection, this on-line course does not really meet WP:MEDRS and so a better source needs to be found. Can this be sourced to PMID22105624?
however, "EF weaknesses are neither necessary nor sufficient to cause all cases of ADHD".[50] - need to mention who you're quoting here, like as Willcutt et al. explain, "EF weaknesses are neither necessary nor sufficient to cause all cases of ADHD".[50]
Both Willcutt 2005 and Nass 2005 are really insufficient sources here per WP:MEDDATE, especially as there are plenty of more up-to-date sources that cover the same thing, and as the sources themselves say that the investigation of EF related to ADHD has been an area of active research we really need to use more up-to-date sourcing. The full text of Brown 2008 can be found here, would you please remove Willcutt 2005 and Nass 2005 and redo the EF content as necessary using Brown 2008 and other more up-to-date sourcing. Also why not insert that URL in the Brown 2008 ref.

Consistent with this, another group of researchers observed that the health status of nomadic Ariaal men was higher if they had the ADHD associated genetic variant (7R alleles). However in recently sedentary (non-nomadic) Ariaal those with 7R alleles seemed to have slightly worse health.[58] - this is all based on an orphaned primary source, can you provide a secondary source to show that WP:DUEWEIGHT is satisfied?

Diet: Weiss and food colorings - I'm concerned undue weight is being given to his views. I took a quick look at his literature and citations and he seems to have a minority view. Are there no other diet factors being studied besides food colorings? What about sugar and fats?
Why? :-O It is not really his views per se - he is just reviewing the literature and summarizing the history of this issue. Sugar and fats are not associated with ADHD from my understanding. Although I believe there is some evidence for omega 3 fatty acids. I have added some more content regarding omega 3 fatty acids to the medication section. :-)--MrADHD | T@1k?21:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename subsection as "Relationships" or something like it, needs to be a noun to match the other subsections
Y suggestion was declined but it's acceptable
Other researchers believe that relationships with caregivers have a profound effect on attentional and self-regulatory abilities. A study of foster children found that a high number of them had symptoms closely resembling ADHD.[73] - sourcing is insufficient, it's primary, from 2002, I can't find any relevant specialized academic credentials for the lead author Finkelstein, and the paper is the non-peer-reviewed product of an advocacy organization. This content needs to be removed or attributed to a better source.

Factors other than those within the DSM or ICD, however, have been found to affect the diagnosis in clinical practice. For example, a study found that the youngest children in a class are much more likely to be diagnosed as having ADHD compared to their older counterparts in the same year. This is because these children may behave more hyperactively, not because they have ADHD, but because they are younger and developmentally behind their classmates. It is estimated that about 20 percent of children given a diagnosis of ADHD are misdiagnosed because of the month they were born.[85] - a lot of emphasis is being given here to an individual primary study, it seems WP:UNDUE, please trim back or find secondary source to support.

A number of notable individuals have given controversial opinions on ADHD. Scientologist Tom Cruise has referred to the ADHD medications Ritalin and Adderall as being "street drugs" - this viewpoint (as well as his other viewpoints on psychiatry) has received criticism - for example the doses of stimulants used in the treatment of ADHD do not cause behavioural addiction and there is some evidence of a reduced risk of later substance addiction in children who had their ADHD treated with stimulants.[133] - please break up run-on sentence, and as the response is also published as an opinion it needs to be attributed to the author Neill
