Citing Cochrane
Doc, this is the first time I've cited a Cochrane review from my subscription: would you mind seeing if I did it correctly? There's a mess of POV across all of our Cannabis articles, based on primary sources. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 04:28, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Look okay, I usually simply things a little more such as "A 2009 Cochrane Review found not enough evidence to support the use of cannabinoids in treating tics and obsessive compulsive behaviour in people with Tourette's syndrome". But either way. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 04:47, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I meant the technicalities in the cite journal template-- I don't know how to list it, and the subscription required part. Are Cochrane reviews not PubMed indexed?  No PMID?  So I can't use Diberri?  I'm not too worried about the wording now because that entire suite of articles needs to be rewritten-- little will survive.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 04:51, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The PMID is here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19821373 Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:06, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Clomipramine
Hi I'm currently making major changes to the clomipramine page in my sandbox and I think everything is fine with it as far as WP:PHARMMOS and other applicable manuals of style but I'd appreciate it if you would give it a once over and tellme if there's any issues with it.

 * In addition to this that James added to his user page, also look further on his user page where it shows he's been published in medical journals. Flyer22 (talk) 20:24, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I think this user may be of the opinion that I have fooled everyone. I guess the next question is but are you not "just a family doctor" rather than an "ER physician" as some sources list you as the former rather than the latter. I am from Canada and training in emergency medicine is different here than in the United States. More than 90% of ER physicians in my country are also family physicians and I am in that group being CCFP(EM) qualified.

Tone and references
Hello Jmh649, I appreciate your help. This is my first Wikipedia article. I will go through and try to correct the tone to use proper encyclopedic language. The issue about references is a more difficult one. I understand the need for recent secondary source references, and do my best to provide secondary source material. However, so far I have been unable to find any review articles where the authors are not funded by, or associated with, dairy councils, pharmaceutical companies, or large food and beverage corporations. Their articles may say they "have no conflict of interest", but I disagree. MSRoodvoets (talk) 01:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * maybe Wikipedia Signpost/2008-06-30/Dispatches will help you understand how to use WP:MEDRS and to restrict your searches in PubMed for secondary reviews, and avoid primary sources. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 01:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Amitriptyline
Hi, I'm sorry to bother ya again but I have been making major changes to the amitriptyline article and I wanted to get your input on my changes to the article which I have in my sandbox. I have tried to follow WP:PHARMMOS and also tried to copy some of your recommendations on the clomipramine page. Fuse809 (talk) 21:28, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

I see ya replied to another comment on ya talk page after I wrote this request so I'm sending another just in case you've accidentally sat on a syringe full of morphine and went into the land of dreams as morphine's name suggests you would. Fuse809 (talk) 03:42, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Few comments. This is a primary source and thus would remove it and the content associated with it unless a better ref can be found. Under medical uses I try to use review articles rather than FDA approval status. What something is FDA approved for is more of a legal issue and should go in the society and culture section.  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:21, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Per WP:MEDRS we typically use no primary sources (except in rare exceptions). Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:23, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it was someone else that put that there it was just a remnant of the old article. I left it there because the simple fact is many indications of older medications have little if any support from the literature. I will accept its removal it's a pretty lousy use of amitriptyline anyway. TCAs were once a first-line treatment for ADHD but it was mostly the more noradrenergic and better-tolerated agents that were used and amitriptyline is neither of those.Fuse809 (talk) 06:39, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Alexa numbers
Right And going from seven to a six is a decrease of one, not an increase. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:15, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Example See IncreaseNegative. If your website is ranked #398,009,498 that's a huge number and a bad thing. If the number gets bigger that's even worse. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * When Alexa says increased however they mean that the number is improving / getting smaller.


 * Look at Wikipedia, a green up arrow of 1, for a change from 7 to 6
 * Look at Wikivoyage, a green up arrow of 2966, for a change from 25149 to 22183
 * Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 09:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Alexa What they are measuring is the Alexa rank, in which a small number is a good thing. But as you pointed out, 25149 is a bigger number than 22183. If we are measuring (e.g.) points in basketball, more is better. So you get green up arrows: more points are good. In golf, it's the other way around: if you get lots of strokes, you get a red up arrow. The quantity itself increased but that's a bad thing. Wikitravel used to be number 2411 and is now number 2482, so the number went up. That's a bad thing. The arrow needs to point up (since the number increased) but be red because what happened is bad (you want your site to be number one). The graphic displays two pieces of information: did the quantity go up or down and did it get better or worse. Alexa's arrows on their site are confusing because they show good/bad correctly but they show increase/decrease incorrectly (e.g. the example you gave above: going from 7 to 6 is not going up but down in quantity). —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:29, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah so we are not going by the 3 month change given by Alexa but going by a shorter time period. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 09:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Time period The template doesn't give instructions on the time period, but what makes the most sense is from when the article was last updated, which should be monthly, since a bot can do it. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:08, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Advice for UMN surgeon on uploading videos
Hey Doc James, I'm working with a surgeon (Urology) at the University of Minnesota who wants to use a GoPro to record some video of some surgeries for use in Wikipedia. In talking with him about this, I thought of you since you're the only active Wikipedian doctor that I know of -- though I'm sure there are many. Would you be interested in advising me on what I need to know in order to get these videos on commons and ready for inclusion in Wikipedia? --EpochFail (talk &bull; contribs) 16:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Great idea. Wonderful to hear that this surgeon is taking it one. What we need for Wikimedia Commons is for the surgeon to either upload them him or her self or give a signed consent that they are willing to release them under a CC BY SA license. It is than sent to Permissions - Wikimedia Commons 
 * If the person is identifiable than of course signed consent should be gotten by the surgeon in question. This does not need to be sent to Wikipedia in any way shape or form. It is simply good practice just in case his college asks. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 16:43, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

createangelos message
Thanks for your message...which contribution are you referring to? The Forton article about hepatitis C? If so, there is a corresponding peer reviewed article I could include. Let me know which article you're referring to.Createangelos (talk) 01:43, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

I've undone the hepatitis C revert. The Forton article is in Hepatology, at some stage I had a copy of that article. It is the most reputable journal about viral hepatitis....so I am not sure I understand your revert at all.

One reason I thought it was important to mention this is that a high proportion of hep C patients first identify that they have a viral illness because of the characteristic fatigue/flu-like symptoms.

Some organizations (ALF and others) make a point in the public interest of letting people know about this so they can get tested if they have been a previous intravenous drug user or had blood transfusions. Not true that the disaase is completely asymptomatic.

There are not as many peer-reviewed articles about the possible cause of the fatigue/cognitive impairment as there should be. It does not correlate with ALT, fibrosis, ammonia, or any other biochemical marker but does remit if a patient clears the virus in treatment.

The Forton article actually identifies changes in the brain with an MRI, and does cognitive testing.

Hello Jmh649:
The entry for Hypercholesterolemia states:

"Even when there is no single responsible mutation to explain hypercholesterolemia, genetic predisposition still plays a major role, potentially adding to lifestyle factors and multiplying the risk of late complications. Multiple genes are involved, and hypercholesterolemia where there is probably a genetic predisposition is called polygenic hypercholesterolemia. The involved genes have yet to be discovered.[19]"

Is this a valuable piece of information? Aren't multiple undiscovered genes likely to be involved in lots of things e.g. intelligence, alcoholism, height, temperament, depression, schizophrenia, etc.? Hill&#39;s Angel (talk) 16:19, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Ah, I completely forgot about presentational differences among browsers - I should probably check how different ones display pages I work on... In any event, I use chrome, so I have no idea how it looks in IE, firefox, or similar, but I see this: https://sites.google.com/site/seppilurvespancakes/home/wikicontent/files I originally ran into a similar section break problem in Integral (I'm hoping those galleries don't look awful in your browser) - I had to look up the policy on staggered left/right images to figure out what to do when text was being sandwiched or breaking sections (WP:IMAGELOCATION). I'm not sure if it's a position or just a size problem in your browser, but the size of the gallery and its images can be changed together with just the gallery width parameter.  If it's the position, I'd have to check a few other browsers to see what doesn't seem like an eyesore first. Seppi333 (talk) 03:01, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

I shrunk the gallery - is this still way too big? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Seppi333/sandbox2&oldid=584630919 Fits nicely in both browsers to me, but looks a little better in chrome.

COTM
Hi James, wondering if you are interested in the psoriasis article this month? There has been a bit of interest from other senior members for this collaboration, and I feel if editors like yourself join in then more will follow. There are a number of discussions on the talk page that need consensus before the real work begins I feel.

Since the COTM has restarted, we have failed to produce any high quality work. Combination of poor choice of article and lack of interest. I think it would be great to make it a goal each month to bring the article to GA. Perhaps the criteria for COTM selection should also be formally amended to state that only top and high importance articles should be selected, at least for the time being.

Since Psoriasis is a high importance, and we appear to have a bit more interest, I think this month is the one where the COTM will properly restart. Lesion ( talk ) 18:59, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

 * See, because it is there and not on article page, it is hard to talk about proposed changes on an article talk page when these are elsewhere. In general, articles should be in prose format, not thrilled about the layout of side effects. Chlorpromazine was always considered a low-potency antipsychotic, with its side effects predominantly anticholinergic rather than extrapyramidal.

Warfarin
Hi, I've been making a few edits to the warfarin page in my Sandbox, mostly trying to improve the order and sections (e.g. removing dosing information) in accordance with WP:PHARMMOS and I've got a little stuck. See I'm not sure whether "chemical properties" section outlined in WP:PHARMMOS can be extended to include synthesis information or whether that belongs elsewhere. I'd appreciate it if you could clarify this for me and if you can see anything else you can improve in this page it'll be appreciated too. Fuse809 (talk) 12:15, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * External links go after references. And typically set images to default size. I do not see an issue with putting synthesis under chemical properties. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine)

Abortion 1RR
On User_talk:BillMoyers you mentioned that Abortion is under a 1RR rule. I don't see that on the page or talk page... where do we find if an article is under special revert rules? Just curious. Cheers. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:18, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Not 100% sure how it works but here and in the archives you can read about it.  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 20:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

St. John's wort
Hi, I would like your opinion: do you think the order of the St. John's wort article is acceptable? I ask because I notice it's a part of WP:Pharmacology and yet it's order is not in accordance with WP:PHARMMOS. I realise it's also a plant and hence some allowances must be made for botanical information to be in the article but still, just wanted your opinion. Oh and while you're at it I'm also wondering whether dosage information should be on this page as WP:PHARMMOS speaks against giving dosing information. Fuse809 (talk) 05:28, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

I see you've made edits since I posted this so I'm going to send ya another message and hopefully ya attention will be drawn here. FYI I have already posed a question about the dosage info in the talk page of SJW so you needn't mention the fact I should. Plus, I've been making a number of edits to this page in my sandbox, particularly a table I'm creating comparing the pharmacology and chemical/physical properties of the different constituents of SJW and I wanted your input on it too, if I may.

 * We do not typically put stuff in hidden tables. I would move stuff that is overly indepth to a subpage. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:59, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

What about the dosage info? Should it go or do you consider it acceptable? Fuse809 (talk) 05:05, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Should go. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:48, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Disparity in importance rating of 2 related articles
Hi James. I know dental caries is rated as top importance for both WPMED and DENT, but I noted that toothache did not have WPMED support before I added it yesterday. I accept that odontogenic infection and orofacial pain might not be very commonly visited, but potentially toothache will have more traffic than dental caries? I have provisionally placed a mid importance tag pending your comment. Lesion ( talk ) 13:04, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Toothache was tagged as a "level 4 vital article". Lesion  ( talk ) 13:16, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Dental caries gets many times more page views per . No concerns with either high or mid. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 01:00, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * That is surprising, I would have thought toothache would have been more commonly looked up than dental caries... Lesion  ( talk ) 10:16, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Much probably depends on how well something is linked into other articles. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:02, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
