"Partisan"

In conventional discourse, "partisan" usually means associated with a political party. The immigration issue cuts across party lines, so the general topic isn't a partisan issue. Groups like CIS and FAIR obviously advocate a cause and so aren't neutral, but that doesn't make them partisan in the usual sense of the word. Let's just report what everyone says rather than picking a side.   Will Beback  talk  20:02, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Fringe versus minority

You are saying "most experts" dismiss,,,, therefore it is fringe,,,, but reference is in the article where the British Medical Journal conducted a survey of its readers and 8 percent stated that they did not regard ADHD as a real disease or disorder. So it is not a fringe view to say that ADHD is a personality variation. What source are you using to challenge the BMJ source of 8%? This is what I meant by original research, I mean no disrespect and I am not looking for a confrontation.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 16:25, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

September 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder controversies. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Literaturegeek | T@1k? 16:01, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Making progress

This is a good edit, you may want to add in ICD as well because DSM IV is more USA based diagnostic system, just to globalise it a bit. :) Lets try and listen to what each other are saying and form a consensus. I am not here to POV push, I personally reject outright the extremist claims that "ADHD does not exist", just because I add something to an article or defend its inclusion does not mean I believe it.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 17:12, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
