Acne vulgaris

Hey James, you don't think the details about BPO's lipophilicity explaining its ability to penetrate into the skin follicle/pilosebaceous unit should be on the acne vulgaris page? Nearly every acne vulgaris review I've read discussing BPO mentions this. Food for thought I suppose. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 08:50, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

We have the advantage of having links that reviews do not. IMO the mechanism of action of the med belongs on the article about the med. We should discuss how well it works in the acne article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:52, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
That's fair. I thought it made it simplified the explanation for non-medical readers who may not understand why that works. I tend to not rely on the assumption that readers will use the wikilinks but I suppose if they're hungry enough for that information they will. I don't have much experience getting articles to FA personally. In your opinion, what do you think the article needs to get there? I'm trying to expand it further with the goal of getting it to FA. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 09:06, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
I think the article is really good already :-) The problem with FAN is many there wish to have articles written for a professional rather than general audience which IMO is a disservice to our goals. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:22, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
I agree that being written for a professional audience runs counter to Wikipedia's core goals. Our articles should be kept as simple as possible for a general readership. In terms of the article's quality, do you think it is reader for FAN (FAN politics aside)? TylerDurden8823 (talk) 09:24, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Article is well referenced. Covers the topic broadly. Remains on point. Any historical images of acne that could be added? Would have my support. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:25, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
I'll look into seeing if I can find some useful historical images. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 09:27, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Added one. Feel free to replace with a better one if you want. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:36, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
I think it looks great. Thanks for adding that. Just an FYI, I've nominated it for FA. If you're interested, here's the link to the nomination page [1]. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 23:05, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Citation overkill

We had this discussion back in September. I pointed out that WP:REPCITE makes it clear that you don't put consecutive citations of the same source in the same paragraph. Nothing in WP:MEDMOS contradicts this. MEDMOS only says that you shouldn't include prose in the article body, and then add a source to the References section as a non-specific or general reference. It does not say that consecutive cites of the same source in one passage/paragraph are acceptable. Nightscream (talk) 20:06, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

WP:REPCITE says "One can hide citations with <!-- --> to prevent confusion in the future... References can then occur after each sentence which is the prefered style for medical content." User:Nightscream. These were the type of references you were removing. And yes we did have this discussion back in September. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:14, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
Okay, I was unfamiliar with that part of it. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:53, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Neuropraxia or Neurapraxia?

An IP did a partial change of spelling Neurapraxia -> Neuropraxia I Googled and got 48k hits for Neura and 98k hits for Neuro. Google also gave a definition of Neuro but not Neura. Is it Neura or Neuro? I did not revert the IP. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 07:37, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

The IP had also deleted a paragraph w/o explanation, so I reverted it all. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:38, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Shall I change it to Neurapraxia or Neuropraxia? Jim1138 (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
"Neuropraxia" is a spelling error. It might be a common one, but it is still an error. Neurapraxia is a type of apraxia, not a type of "praxia". Looie496 (talk) 14:35, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Infoboxes in split hormone/drug articles

The {{infobox drug}} templates contain at least as much chemical as drug information and there have been off and on discussions about merging the drugbox with {{infobox chemical}}. These infoboxes were removed in this and this this edit from a hormone article after it was split from a drug article. It may be appropriate to remove the clinical data section from the drugbox, but it is not appropriate to remove the whole infobox. Some of these might eventually be replaced by chembox, but that replacement would be a lot easier if the drugbox were left in place. Thanks. Boghog (talk) 19:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm still trying to get a hang of this "talk" feature, so please excuse me if this is not the way to respond. I don't quite understand your question about review articles - Phase II trials usually are RCTs conducted, and therefore have original findings.

Hello Doc James, I understand not allowing Scientific American as a legitimate source. Thank You & I apologize for wasting your time. What I do wish further clarification on (for editing purposes) is why & when an editor's choice of words or phrasing is considered to be better (more correct) than the original wording by the author (or author's) of the sourced material. I don't want to make the same mistakes in editing twice. If I should be addressing these questions elsewhere, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Contentious statement on Chronic Fatigue syndrome page "Exercise does not (appear to) make people worse".

Hi Doc James, just a note to let you know that I've left a response to you on the main Chronic Fatigue syndrome talk page. There seems to be a consensus that your proposed statement "Exercise does not make people worse" is at best, a little reckless. You are very keen to reinstate it I see, but that view does not yet have any support from other editors. If you feel strongly about the statement, there may be other ways to introduce the material - for example in the section on exercise therapy itself. There you will have more space to expand on the issue of adverse effects (or lack thereof) of exercise treatments. If you take this approach, it may be possible for us all to come to a consensus solution to this problem. Thanks for considering my input. --Wilshica (talk) 04:33, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

There is no consensus to remove it. Wondering what your relationship is to the other account working on this topic? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:49, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Doc James, you seem like a good and responsible editor. But you have behaved poorly over this, refusing to concede the point. And I certainly didn't expect you to launch an ad hominem attack on me in this way, that's quite inappropriate (I'm not even sure which editor I supposed to be in cahoots with!). Your accusations require no defence. I'm not sure what your motives are here but I don't think they're NPOV. Are you keen to ensure patients do not become irrationally fearful of exercise? If so, then start a new section on the fear avoidance model of CFS, its very much worth including.

Please do not accuse me of bad faith again.

As I said you seem to be a good and valuable editor, and there are many other ways in which you can be contributing effectively to this and other pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilshica (talk • contribs) 22:32, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

The term 'ad hominen attack' is used when someone tries to win an argument by criticising the person who takes an opposing view (questioning their intelligence, integrity or their motives), rather than the arguments themselves. But surely you know this?

Use of primary sources in medical articles - Neuroangiogenesis

Hi Doc James, I work as the Wikimedian in Residence at the University of Edinburgh and my colleague, Dr Chris Harlow (ChrisH2015) has been running Wikipedia assignments for 4th year Honours undergraduates in the Reproductive Biology course this year & last year, whereby the students research a reproductive medicine term not represented on Wikipedia and then co-create the new article. Last year, they helped research & create the Wikipedia article on Neuroangiogenesis. Recently, while the latest iteration of the assignment was going on with approx 40 students creating 8 new articles on reproductive medicine, Chris worked to improve the Neuroangiogenesis article by citing some research findings published in reliable journals. These were flagged as WP:Primary and the edits reverted. Chris feels strongly that the research these articles indicate should be allowed on Wikipedia as the quality of review articles can often be inferior in comparison. As a layman when it comes to writing medical articles, I realise that WP:Primary is an important issue for medical articles but I wondered if Chris had a legitimate point. Would you be able to clarify the stance on the use of such articles as sources for medical pages? Or be able to point me in the direction where such discussions should be taken? Chris would obviously be able to articulate his concern better than I so his Talk page or the WikiProject Medicine Talk page perhaps? Let me know what you think anyway. Best regards, Stinglehammer (talk) 18:13, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks User:Stinglehammer. Why not use secondary sources is the question? Yes some secondary sources can be of poor quality but many are of high quality and we should be using the high quality ones. We can either discuss here or at WT:MED if you want further opinions. If the content has never been mentioned in a high quality secondary source it does raise a bit of a red flag that it could be a one off. One major aspect of the scientific method is repeatability. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:29, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Primary source that I used is actually used in another section

A significant negative correlation between pain severity and dopamine synthesis was demonstrated within the insular cortex. A subsequent study demonstrated gross disruption of dopaminergic reactivity in response to a tonic pain stimulus within the basal ganglia with a significant positive correlation between the defining feature of the disorder (i.e. tender point index) and dopamine D2 receptor binding potential specifically in the right putamen.[1]

Primary source. Please use secondary sources. Just because one primary source is used does not mean we should use more. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Class of two ?

Hello Doc James - re your note on my page - seem to be two users .51 and .52 working on same articles - yes there is a lot of clean up needed and I'm unsure about edits as haven't checked or been able to; some I have looked at seem fine - shall try to keep an eye on things. If there is continuous same cleaning up needed do the editors need your advice? thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 22:12, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
