NavBox
Adult has a navbox on the right side. If it should be put at the bottom, I need to spend time changing the code which I think a bit not so necessary. --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 03:07, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Circulatory shock
Shock_(circulatory)#Management: It is important to keep the person warm to avoid hypothermia.
IMO, keep too warm can facilitate oxygen consumption. Is there a better way to write it since you're familiar with such medical emergency diseases? --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 03:45, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Do you miss User:Jytdog or glad that he is gone? Eschoryii (talk) 22:42, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- User:Eschoryii well I think we all agreed that he messed up. The actions by arbcom IMO were out of proportion. It was obvious that he would never do that again.

Hello Doctor James! Can you please tell me how the section about children added by Dent22st on the Dental Fear page can be improved? We are a dental student group of editors and would still like to add a section concerning children, but you have deleted it earlier.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

A question arising from that discussion, but maybe tangential to it: what campaigns against the Copyright Directive has the WMF actually promoted? I haven't checked every last tweet, but the only one I'm aware of is changecopyright.org, which is a Mozilla Foundation project. (So, it's "funded by Google" in some partial and indirect way that would be OR to speculate about.) XOR'easter (talk) 01:04, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
- User:XOR'easter a number of Wikipedia's had banners. This was the one EN WP used.[1] Each language sort of did their own thing.

Re:Uptodate
Thank for your opinion for references from Uptodate.
I will check my edit and try to use review articles or medical organizations statements to replace Uptodate information.
Thanks --Wolfch (talk) 03:19, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks User:Wolfch appreciate it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:58, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry for disturbing, since Wolfch was mainly tracking my edits, I would like to explain my addition of UpToDate as the reference. Generally, I cite UpToDate when the material is included in its open preview version because, like others, I don't have full access to UpToDate all the time. Finally, I would like to thank you for facilitating the project that makes medical knowledge reach people around the world. I really think not only the rich has the right to get ahold of knowledge but also those who don't afford to pay the fee for education, database, etc. Let's keep allowing it to be cited when the content is open in the preview, or when there's really need to although the chance for such irreplaceable context is deemed very rare.

monotonous diet
Hi Doc James. Is "monotonous (diet)" (end of first line on this link) a term in medical/ nutrition jargon? Thanks Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 10:38, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Vitamin deficiency article - a favor
I recently expanded Vitamin deficiency about 10X (includes borrowing history content from Vitamin) and submitted a question to DYK. I had asked Zefr to look of the expansion.

Pier Paolo Pandolfi
I am writing regarding the article for Pier Paolo Pandolfi which you placed a notice on in December 2017. I believe this was due to a colleague who was editing Wikipedia in violation of the rules regarding conflict of interest. I am from the organization Pandolfi works for and have requested edits to the article on the talk page which have been responded to by another editor. These edits have consisted of removing and rewording content that was not properly sourced or were sourced mainly to the work of Pandolfi which violated the rules of Wikipedia. As an independent editor has reviewed the requests I have made and the article is now written in a neutral tone, I had requested that the notice be removed from the top of the page. The editor who has reviewed the edits has told me to first notify you to see if you would remove the tag. Their logic, as stated by them is "My logic is that since they placed the template, they are in the best position to know whether or not the issues which caused its placement have been corrected." Can you review my request on the talk page of the article and let me know if anything else is needed to be done so this notice can be removed? Thank you in advance. --BIHAKen (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

The charity article is a secondary source. "A secondary source in medicine summarizes one or more primary or secondary sources."
Why is snopes not reliable? "Snopes aims to debunk or confirm widely spread urban legends. The site has been referenced by news media and other sites, including CNN,[20] MSNBC,[21] Fortune, Forbes, and The New York Times.[22] By March 2009, the site had more than 6 million visitors per month.[23] Mikkelson runs the website out of his home in Tacoma, Washington.[24]" "Jan Harold Brunvand, a folklorist who has written a number of books on urban legends and modern folklore, considered the site so comprehensive in 2004 that he decided not to launch one of his own to similarly discuss the accuracy of various legends and rumors.[13]
In 2012, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes' responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases.[28][29] In 2012, The Florida Times-Union reported that About.com's urban legends researcher found a "consistent effort to provide even-handed analyses" and that Snopes' cited sources and numerous reputable analyses of its content confirm its accuracy.[30] Mikkelson has said that the site receives more complaints of liberal bias than conservative bias, but added that the same debunking standards are applied to all political urban legends.[28]"

Administrators' newsletter – March 2019
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2019).
Interface administrator changes
|
|
- The RfC on administrator activity requirements failed to reach consensus for any proposal.
- Following discussions at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and Wikipedia talk:Administrators, an earlier change to the restoration of adminship policy was reverted. If requested, bureaucrats will not restore administrator permissions removed due to inactivity if there have been five years without a logged administrator action; this "five year rule" does not apply to permissions removed voluntarily.
- A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.
- The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
- paid-en-wpwikipedia.org has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
- checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.
- The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).

Re: Semi-Protected edit request on 3/5/19 for the article Bipolar disorder to include a link for Ronald Braunstein
Hello Doc James: Just a quick note to update you about a Semi-Protected edit request which has been posted on the talk page for the article Bipolar disorder. Perhaps if you have spare time you might share your medical expertise and extensive experience as a Wikipedia Administrator in order to evaluate the proposal to incorporate the following text at the end of the section entitled Society and Culture
- In an effort to ease the social stigma associated with bipolar disorder, the orchestra conductor Ronald Braunstein cofounded the
ME/2 Orchestra with his wife Caroline Whiddon in 2011. Braunstein was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1985 and his concerts with the ME/2 Orchestra were conceived in order to create a welcoming performance environment for his musical colleagues, while also raising public awareness about mental illness.[1] [2]

Is this a RS to cite for adding health benefit-type material in Cherry juice? Atsme 📣 📧 03:21, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- User:Atsme no the journal in question has been listed as a predatory publisher. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:24, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, thank you. Atsme 📣 📧 03:30, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- One more question - if the publisher is included in Beall's list, but the Journal (separately) is considered credible/peer reviewed/etc. does that matter? What if the material published in a journal whose publisher is on Beall's list is corroborated by another journal that is not on Beall's list? Can we use cite that source? For example - this article corroborates parts of the review published here, the latter being by a publisher on Beall's list. Atsme 📣 📧 18:44, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Hormone replacement therapy
I just finished a pretty significant rewrite of Hormone replacement therapy, lots of low quality refs and outdated info. Would you mind taking a gander? I enjoy sandwiches (talk) 17:42, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks for your extensive work on the article. Great stuff. One small question, what lead to your organizing the health effects in the sequence that you did? Based on frequency or strength of evidence or a combination of the two? I originally had them alphabetically because I had difficulty with this as so much of the analysis is evolving.

Thai Bloom page Deleted by you
I was going to update the page with new citations from news events, but found out you deleted the page in 2017. I looked at the reasons for deletion, it doesn't have anything to do with Thai Bloom. Whoever created the page was banned, but that doesn't mean the content and page should be banned. I found it years ago and updated it occasionally, but it's sad to see someone delete it so people can't find information about Thai Bloom on Wiki anymore.

Heal
There is a 2017 documentary entitled Heal directed by Kelly Noonan on Netflix expounding the benefits of mind body healing. I don't believe any of it but the people in the documentary sure think sitting in a quiet room can heal cancer. Can this documentary be cited as authority to Wiki articles? Do you have to believe something to add it? I would cite it somewhere to don't be fooled people. But what I am trying to sort out is the no personal point of view principle. Should Wiki readers have this information even though I don't accept it? Yet there must be some benefit to relaxation, stress reduction and meditation. Where and who gets to draw the line? In the Energy Medicine article could I add a sentence: "Followers of this mode of treatment should watch the Heal documentary." Would you delete that sentence? Maybe I should be asking this on the article talk page but I value your opinion, Eschoryii (talk) 03:54, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- User:Eschoryii When it comes to health we need references per WP:MEDRS
- That documentary is not an appropriate reference just like the DailyMail is not an appropriate reference. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:56, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. That was a quick answer. Were you reading as I typed? You don't need to respond further. Eschoryii (talk) 04:07, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- User:Doc James Check out my added sentence to the third paragraph in Mind-body interventions article. You may think that Heal should not be mentioned at all. Delete if I am wrong. Eschoryii (talk) 06:37, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- The ref gives me a warning. Not a major source / opinion. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:48, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
