Recent image edit


Re, this edit, the image using upright is a painting, and the detail in the painting is relevant. MOS:IMGSIZE says:
 * Where a smaller or larger image is appropriate, use scaling factor, which expands or contracts the image by a factor.
 * For example:
 * might be used for an image with fine detail (e.g. a map or diagram) to render it "30% larger than this user generally wants". (For a reader with the usual base width setting of 220px, this is 285px.)
 * might be used for an image with little detail (e.g. a simple drawing or flag) which can be adequately displayed "40% smaller than this user generally wants". (For a reader with the usual base width setting of 220px, this is 130px.)
 * When specifying  values greater than 1, take care to balance the need to reveal detail against the danger of overwhelming surrounding article text.
 * Images in which a small region of detail is important (but cropping to that region is unacceptable) may need to be larger than normal, but  should usually be the largest value for images floated beside text.
 * Images within an article, especially those near one another and on the same side, may be more appealing if presented at the same width.

The detail in the painting is relevant, the image is not overwhelming adjacent text, and that this edit followed immediately on this unrelated discussion is concerning. (most recent involved editors at the TFA revamping, except Outriggr and Yomangani, who no longer edit) and, who weighed in on TFA day, does an upright scaling factor of 1.5 seem to comply with MOS:IMAGES ?

 * No response, no feedback; after waiting a week, I will reinstate upright for painting to agree with (same size of) diagram in article. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  14:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Unexplainable coherent outburests
I am an adult with no history of disorders, but have found myself making sudden unexplainable quick comments in a group that “outed” some behavior heretofore kept secret. I was as surprised as everyone else and found myself ostracized from the people whose act or behaviour I had “outed.” Please note behavior's were not illegal or sexual in nature but instead just divulged secret(s) kept hidden. I had absolutely no intention to do this and was only triggered when the person I had never met entered the room and I was introduced to him. The experience has stayed with me to this day some 40 years later. 75.161.235.113 (talk) 00:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 April 2024
Please change and only one motor tic is required for diagnosis. to and only one motor tic (along with one or more vocal tics) is required for diagnosis.

The point in this change, besides making clearer the point in the original reference, is to prevent non-native speaking people who have motor tics but no vocal tics, such as myself, and are looking for diagnosis possibilities for those tics, to consider erroneously a Tourette diagnosis based on the original text. The WHO ICD-11 classification still requires at least one vocal tic for a possible Tourette syndrome diagnostic, as one can verify in the ICD-11 website, and not only one motor tic. Yes, I'm aware Wikipedia should not be used as a medical diagnosis tool. Yes, I do discuss everything I find with my doctor. But other people will look for possibilities anyway, and the text is better be crystal clear on what it says. Rpioveza (talk) 17:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
