Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/cfs)

[edit]

PREVALENCE: ME/cfs has a prevalence of ~0.42%, so it isn't "rare". By definition, a 'rare disease' affects less than 0.05% of people (Europe). A 1999 study by Jason et al found that 0.42% of the adult U.S. population met the criteria for ME/CFS. This prevalence has been quoted in two influential literature reviews – one by the US Institutes of Medicine (IOM) in 2015 , and one by the IACFS/ME in 2014. In addition, the IOM report also cited a 2006 study by Jason et al, comparing a wide variety of prevalence estimates from around the world. (references - Leonard A. Jason, Susan Torres-Harding, and Mary Gloria C Njoku, ‘The Face of CFS in the U.S.’, The CIFIDS Chronicle 2006, no. 1 (January 2006): 16–21, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236995875)

NEUROLOGICAL: Neurological symptoms are part of the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria, so the word 'neurological' is redundant. (references - http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Consensus_Criteria or http://me-pedia.org/wiki/International_Consensus_Criteria)

Deleting sections of article or whole article

[edit]

I have no interest in this article but I noticed that it showed up in Recent Changes. It appears that user Sajmeister1 (talk · contribs) has attempted to delete large portions of the article, or perhaps the whole article. Users SvanBueren (talk · contribs) and Skylar130 (talk · contribs) have reverted these changes. Perhaps there can be some discussion on the issue here, or maybe it could move to WP:AfD or to even WP:RFC.

I cannot fail to note, however, that in this edit Sajmeister1 purports to be Begum's digital marketing manager. This is very clearly a WP:COI situation. While such paid editors can still edit, their changes need to be discussed first. BirdValiant (talk) 02:44, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
