MPD

As a physician with MPD/DID having done a lot of research on this, I find this article inaccurate. I am new and don't have experience in Wikipedia editing so I need help with this. I don't want to step on any toes here but I don't want someone looking for information to come here and find this. Thanks for your help. P L Logan 16:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Well welcome to Wikipedia P L Logan. I'm not really sure what you are asking but I think you asking for permission to significantly improve this article which in no way do you have acquire permission since this article is merely a stub. I would also like to point out wikipedian policy of being bold. If you wish to see how a good medical article looks then I would direct you to Biology and medicine section of Wikipedia:Featured articles. A quick glance at that list I would say that Asperger syndrome comes the closest in subject.

Basically all you need to know when improving an article is you should write in a neutral point of view and not side with any opinion even if you writing about Hitler. Provide information that is already been published (per Verifiability page) and do not do any original research. Remember also to always provide references and inline citations. Wikipedia:Citing sources is a good article to learn about this. Assuming you have finished college/university to become a physician you should be quite familiar with a Bibliography. Inline citations are basically a link to a source after a statement that might be challenged (Example:15 percent of the world buy canadian produced chocolate.) Wikipedia:Footnotes is a good place to familiarize yourself with this. The last and least important in my opinion is Wikipedia:Manual of Style page (since its all things that take little time to fix unlike researching) where you can learn different page style/code preferences of wikipedia.

Anyway that's about it and I hope you can make this article into a fine piece of work. Good luck and if you need anything I'm sure anyone would be willing to help including myself. - Tutmosis 18:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

MPD was a disambiguation page with many possible meanings of this three-letter acronym. An editor changed it about a week ago to show her interpretation of Multiple Personality Disorder, but we have a much better developed article at Dissociative identity disorder. I've reverted MPD to the original content.-gadfium 00:46, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
