Thanks for creating Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder, ProjectFND!

Wikipedia editor Garagepunk66 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I enjoyed reading the new article you wrote, Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder. Well done.

To reply, leave a comment on Garagepunk66's talk page.

@Garagepunk66 Thanks! ProjectFND were surprised that it did not exist, and many resources available about FND are inaccurate or outdated. We imagine this will be an ongoing project for us, and plan on updating it along with any new research we find. ProjectFND (talk) 18:47, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again

Really sorry to bother you again – I forgot to ping you on the talk page. Just wondering if you'd be open to maybe moving the current content from Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder to Functional neurological symptom disorder so the cases match up. If not, I'll change the cases in the article back for you. Thanks, Me, Myself & I (☮) (talk) 05:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Me, Myself & I (☮) I will admit that cases are confusing me right now - FND is capitalised in most literature, hence why I had it capitalised here, but people keep making it lower case. ProjectFND (talk) 18:46, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Smashing. I'll change it straightaway.~~ It appears that an administrator already changed it to the lowercase form. This whole business has been incredibly confusing, and I apologize for that. If you'd like, you can always request to revert the page move back to the full-caps version and I can change the cases in the article. Although, none of the accessible sources in the article explicitly uses the term "Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder" (but you do see "functional neurological disorders", "functional disease" or something similar – no caps outside of titles, headings or first occurrences in the text, in which it may be capitalized for style). If you happen to have access to a source that uses the full name with capitals, it would be nice to use as "proof" of sorts to present with the request.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, ProjectFND. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article FND Hope, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. –CaroleHenson (talk) 18:36, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user subpage at FND Hope may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add {{Db-u1}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. Thank you. –CaroleHenson (talk) 18:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from User talk:CaroleHenson

I moved this here to keep it with the other related messages.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:10, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

You posted on my page that you believed I may have a conflict of interest with FND Hope. I don't believe I do - I am a patient with Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder, the condition which FND Hope raises awareness of. I am not a competing company, or a member of staff at the organisation.

Am I still considered as having a COI?

ProjectFND (talk) 18:41, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the only relationship you have is that you have the disorder, I am guessing that there is not a conflict of interest in the traditional sense. But, you likely have a point of view that may come in to play, so you may want to read some of the info about that.

At the moment, the key issue is probably that you should change your username so that it does not appear that you represent a FND organization. Please see WP:Username policy and Wikipedia:Changing username. I am not an expert on this, but would be happy to help navigate this process if you'd like.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:15, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no FND organization with the name ProjectFND. Previously, there was a website however this no longer exists.

ProjectFND (talk)

There's FND Hope] - which sounds similar. That's my recommendation, or you're likely to continue to get questions anytime to edit anything having to do with FND.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:27, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do see some people who have used a medical condition - like a few usernames that start with out User:Diabetic (although they don't seem to focus on diabetes related topics) - as part of their name that do not sound like an organization. I do see that there's still a tumblr page and other results from Google for ProjectFND.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:46, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This account was made prior to someone else using the name on Tumblr I believe. I will edit my name to something else though, just to be on the safe side. I can't seem to see exactly how to do it on that link you gave me. How exactly do I go about it?

ProjectFND (talk) 20:32, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple might be the most applicable process, because there's a step to verify that the username you'd like is available.–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you have a new name. I think you'll find that will make things easier for you.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:19, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I was wondering if you could tell me how to report someone who has a COI for their contributions to be reviewed? Someone who is on the board of a new FND charity has made an account and has been maliciously editing submissions. TIA

I would start by posting {{subst:Uw-coi|FND Hope}}~~~~ on their talk page. Click on "Add a new section" - add a heading, like "Potential conflict of interest" - and then add the template (update the article name if it's not FND Hope you're talking about) and four tildes in the body of the section. It will create a message and the tildes will add your signature.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:57, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I added a notice to the talk page, but you could also added {{COI|date=April 2017}} to the talk page. If the editing continues, then an issue can be opened on WP:COIN - but that takes awhile. If there's disruptive editing, let me know what specifically you're referring to and I can look into it and, if appropriate, add a warning note about disruptive editing on the user's talk page and explain why it's an issue.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:03, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The editing is going on on this article. The citations from FND Awareness Day have been being edited so that they do not work. The individual beind the account is on the board of directors for an FND group. She's listed on the board of directors here. LP1966 (talk) 19:09, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's not really a COI issue, that's disruptive editing. Very weird. I'll leave a message on their page.

Would you please sign your messages with four tildes? You just type ~~~~ at the end of your message and when you save, like magic it adds your user name and links to your user page, talk page... and the date and time you added the message? For now, I'll go back and find the date and time stamps and add them in. Thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:33, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I totally forgot! I believe it may be a COI due to the fact that they're editing the entry for the international awareness day, as their group supports only the UK awareness day (on a different date). LP1966 (talk) 19:41, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I posted a message on the user's talk page about disruptive editing. I think that's what most applies in the situation - but kind of addressed the COI kind of issue in the message. Hopefully that will take care of it.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:46, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Functional neurological symptom disorder

I went looking to see if there was other disruptive editing and found some issues at this article... and upon looking further found copyright issues. I've got to start looking through history, but thought I'd ask you first... do you know who might have added the Controversy section or the content about hysteria?

Right now there are two places where the content is currently overplaced with tags while it's investigated.–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:37, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the notice about the content about hysteria:
