Talk:Long face syndrome

Predatory publishers: MedCrave and Jaypee Journals
Unfortunately I have had to remove the following literature-review reference from the article; its publisher, MedCrave, is predatory: See the following for information on the predatory character of MedCrave: Note that this article is currently under AfD, and the nominator similarly removed the following source from the article on the ground that its publisher, Jaypee Journals, is predatory: The nominator is likewise correct in identifying Jaypee Journals as predatory; this can be confirmed from Beall's List (above). Neither of these references should be added back to the article.
 * 1) Beall's List (archived 2017-10-16)
 * 2) TheScientist (archived 2017-06-10)
 * 3) Snopes (archived 2017-12-17)

 * Your argument about the publisher ignores both who the authors are and the substance of their paper. Essentially, it is an Argument ad hominem and only partially relevant.  I put it back.  In any event, it is merely corrobborative of the nine othe sources that are now in the article.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 17:09, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

No the argument above is in no way an argument ad hominem. The journal mentioned has a well documented history of predatory practices nothing needs to be said about the authors. Considering this article is already nominated for deletion, I am removing the low quality sources again. WidespreadPaneth (talk) 20:55, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

This statement and sourcing
User:Eeng says this statement and the sxoruce are unworthy. He removed it and got the DYK removed from the queu. Rather than edit war, I am asking for the opinions of other readers and editors. He did not bother to respond on the DYK nomination page. One nurse claims that the visage of fictional character Napoleon Dynamite is "a perfect example of the long face syndrome." the source says what it says. Ipse dixit, User:Eeng doesn't like it. What do you all think? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 20:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * The source is a a thinly-disguised advertisement promoting the sweetener Xylitol as a preventative for (surprise!) Long face syndrome. It ends "Disclosure in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission regulation 16 CFR, Part 255: this post is sponsored by an advertiser" and is punctuated every few paragraphs by handy links promoting the sponsor's products: "Read: Xlear Star Reviews ... Read: Sugar That Starves Bacteria ... Read: Chew Gum To Protect Your Child's Teeth ... Read: Xylitol- New Findings". Advertisements are not reliable sources. You know that I more than anyone love a good hook, but this is a real problem. You misspelled my user name in the ping, so I didn't get it.   EEng 20:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Pics, photos, graphics needed
Where are visual representations?

Especially in the "In popular culture" section where it's stated that "Craig Chester says he has suffered from the condition.". How about a pic/photo of him in that section?

Just curious. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 01:34, 17 February 2018 (UTC)


 * That bothered me as well, especially the "has suffered", as if he no longer suffers from it, or still suffers from it but only occasionally. Reading the article, I was wondering if the definition of the syndrome merely lumps together certain people who have facial features in common; in other words, it's about the way some people look. I was also reminded of the joke: A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Why the long face?" "Having a long face" is a colloquial expression for being somewhat depressed. This reads almost like a parody with that in mind. 162.89.0.47 (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2018 (UTC) Eric
