Dear doc James, the paywall of peer reviewed literature is not the only way to find the truth. Opinions in by neuroimmunologists on venous pathology and therapy reflect violation of the basic academic principal that one's opinion is only worth listening to when it is restricted to your own area of expertise. my statements tell a more accurate story and are supported by the references that are there. ~LaFemmeMSketteer~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaFemmeMSketeer (talk • contribs) 04:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

February 2015
Your recent editing history at Circumcision shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. // Liftarn (talk) 08:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 * So you first attempt to add a tag with no claim. Than here claim that "newer sources says otherwise" without providing said sources. You then restore it a third time and finally provide the source in question and it is from 2011 making it older than all the sources supporting the current content . Finally you come here after I warned you for edit warring. Best  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 08:17, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Mintop Solution page
Hi Doc James,

This is regarding the Mintop Solution page.

Could you please guide on the how to work around this? I see a lot of pages on branded drugs/medicines/etc that are have not been directed to the generic brand name page. They are standalone product pages. Some examples are Tylenol, Benadryl, Saridon, etc.

regards, Nupur --NupurPathak (talk) 11:00, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes occasionally. But we are moving more and more away from this. And this only applies for very well known brand names. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 11:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Doc James,

Mintop Solution is actually a very well known topical hair fall solution in India and the only one of its kind. No other topical hair fall solution in India uses the same Minoxidil concentration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NupurPathak (talk • contribs) 11:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Doc James,

I don't think it's fair to block this page, especially since several other branded pages exist, and have been around for a long time even though they have obvious deviations from Wiki guidelines, and have promotional content. I would like to open this discussion to a wider forum to sort this matter out.

Please let the page be live until then.

 * Nupur, please respond to the COI issues I have raised on your Talk page. I suggest you resolve those before doing anything else.  If you are being paid to edit and you are violating the Terms of Use by not disclosing that fact and acting accordingly - and it appears to me that you are -  you will be banned from Wikipedia. Paid editing is allowed in WP, but paid editors must follow the rules governing that activity, Jytdog (talk) 13:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog,

I have no issues adding the COI footnote. Though this is not a paid article/edit, I am willing to adhere to those guidelines and make whatever declaration needed. However, as I told Doc James, I am very new to Wiki (this article was my first) and need time to figure out how to do the HTML bit.

Ovarian cancer copyediting
Hi Doc James! I see that you and I are crossing paths copyediting Ovarian cancer, and I just wanted to leave you a note about what I'm doing. asked me to give the article a thorough copyedit, but I am in no way a medical expert, so while I can polish the language, I may occasionally end up changing a phrasing that actually has medical meaning. If you'd rather I leave copyediting to you so you don't have to do cleanup duty, just let me know; otherwise please don't hesitate to check over my copyedits from a medical perspective so we can make sure both language and content are as good as possible. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 15:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Your removal of articles on the Autism rights movement & See also sections on Autism related articles
The notion of Autism as a medical condition is controversial. This is contested by the Autism rights movement, which is a movement (headed by people in the Autistic spectrum) that fights for the perception/definition of Autism as a normal variation within human neurodiversity.

Your removal of content related to the Autism rights movement and Autistic culture on articles dealing with Autism prevents access to essential information on Autism.

The following content is content that you removed (which originated from the Autism rights movement article) and IMO is essential knowledge on articles involving Autism, Autism spectrum and Asperger Syndrome.

Autism rights movement
The autism rights movement (ARM) is a social movement within the neurodiversity movement that encourages autistic people, their caregivers and society to adopt a position of neurodiversity, accepting autism as a variation in functioning rather than a mental disorder to be cured. The ARM advocates a variety of goals including a greater acceptance of autistic behaviors; therapies that teach autistic individuals coping skills rather than therapies focused on imitating behaviors of neurotypical peers; the creation of social networks and events that allow autistic people to socialize on their own terms; and the recognition of the autistic community as a minority group.

Autism rights or neurodiversity advocates believe that the autism spectrum is genetic and should be accepted as a natural expression of the human genome. This perspective is distinct from two other likewise distinct views: (1) the mainstream perspective that autism is caused by a genetic defect and should be addressed by targeting the autism gene(s) and (2) the perspective that autism is caused by environmental factors like vaccines and pollution and could be cured by addressing environmental causes.

The movement is controversial. A common criticism leveled against autistic activists is that the majority of them are high-functioning or have Asperger syndrome and do not represent the views of all autistic people.

Recruitment for Wikipedian Interview
Hello Doc James,

We’d like to invite you to participate in a study that aims to explore how WikiProject members coordinate activities of distributed group members to complete project goals. We are specifically seeking to talk to people who have been active in at least one WikiProject in their time in Wikipedia. Compensation will be provided to each participant in the form of a $10 Amazon gift card.

The purpose of this study is to better understanding the coordination practices of Wikipedians active within WikiProjects, and to explore the potential for tool-mediated coordination to improve those practices. Interviews will be semi-structured, and should last between 45-60 minutes. If you decide to participate, we will schedule an appointment for the online chat session. During the appointment you will be asked some basic questions about your experience interacting in WikiProjects, how that process has worked for you in the past and what ideas you might have to improve the future.

You must be over 18 years old, speak English, and you must currently be or have been at one time an active member of a WikiProject. The interview can be conducted over an audio chatting channel such as Skype or Google Hangouts, or via an instant messaging client. If you have questions about the research or are interested in participating, please contact Michael Gilbert at (206) 354-3741 or by email at mdg@uw.edu.

We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information sent by email.

Circumcision
I noticed you reverted my edit to Circumcision. However I think the phrase "Evidence supports that...", as it is in the article now, is grammatically incorrect because it doesn't say what the evidence is supporting. Given that you don't want it described as a "view", perhaps starting the sentence with "Evidence supports the use of male circumcision to reduce the risk..." ?

Breastfeeding and relactation
Doc James,

Really? I thought we kind of had a working relationship. You may not have intended to jump levels by banning me for 24 hours, but it sure feels that way. One of the times you said I hadn't paraphrased sufficiently, I actually had. I had paraphrased a Bangladeshi guide to malnutrition, and you thought it was too similar to a WHO guide. It may have been. But when standard health advice is rendered in plain language, the results may often be quite similar.

And this time, I did make a mistake. I was pressed for time and working too quickly. At the very least I should have used quotation marks for the material from the WHO guide. Better yet, distill it down in pithy fashion.

And actually, you may not want to chase me off entirely. You and I seem to be among the few people primarily interested in the accuracy of health articles, and not just the formality of the writing itself.

PS And remember when I told you about a WHO guide recommending rehydrating a malnourished child relatively slowly, and that little bit enabled you to look up the very similar concept of refeeding syndrome? Cool Nerd (talk) 19:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You must paraphrase User:Cool Nerd. This is not negotiable. It say every times you hit the edit button that "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." Using quotes is often not sufficient to make content acceptable. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 20:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I do paraphrase. Please don't view an earlier philosophic disagreement on our part as disobedience or something similar on my part. Cool Nerd (talk) 22:11, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

In this edit which is the edit that got you blocked you added

A WHO publication citing a 1992 source includes the following recommendations on helping a client to relactate (partial list): • Make sure that she has enough to eat and drink. • Encourage her to rest more, and to try to relax when she breastfeeds. • Explain that she should keep her baby near her, give him plenty of skin-to-skin contact, and do as much as possible for him herself. Grandmothers can help if they take over other responsibilities - but they should not care for the baby at this time. Later they can do so again. • Explain that the most important thing is to let her baby suckle more, at least 10 times in 24 hours, more if he is willing: - she can offer her breast every two hours; - she should let him suckle whenever he seems interested; - she should let him suckle longer than before at each breast; - she should keep him with her and breastfeed at night; - sometimes it is easiest to get a baby to suckle when he is sleepy. • Show her how to give the other feeds from a cup, not from a bottle. She should not use a pacifier. • If her baby refuses to suckle on an `empty' breast, help her to find a way to give the baby milk while he is suckling. For example, with a dropper or a syringe. • For the first day or two, she should give the full amount of artificial feed for a baby of his weight or the same amount that he has been having before. As soon as her breastmilk begins to flow, she can start to reduce the daily total by 30-60 ml each day. • Check the baby's weight gain and urine output, to make sure that he is getting enough milk. - if he is not getting enough, do not reduce the artificial feed for a few days; - if necessary, increase the amount of artificial milk for a day or two. Some women can decrease the amount by more than 30-60 ml each day.

Again, this is only a partial list. This publication also states: "If a baby has been breastfeeding sometimes, the breastmilk supply increases in a few days. If a baby has stopped breastfeeding, it may take 1-2 weeks or more before much breastmilk comes." "

Ref says

'''Make sure that she has enough to eat and drink. • Encourage her to rest more, and to try to relax when she breastfeeds. • Explain that she should keep her baby near her, give him plenty of skin-to-skin contact, and do as much as possible for him herself.

Later they can do so again. • Explain that the most important thing is to let her baby suckle more, at least 10 times in 24 hours, more if he is willing: - she can offer her breast every two hours; - she should let him suckle whenever he seems interested; - she should let him suckle longer than before at each breast; - she should keep him with her and breastfeed at night; - sometimes it is easiest to get a baby to suckle when he is sleepy. • Discuss how to give other milk feeds, while she waits for her breastmilk to flow, and how to reduce the other milk as her milk increases. • Show her how to give the other feeds from a cup, not from a bottle. She should not use a pacifier. • If her baby refuses to suckle on an `empty' breast, help her to find a way to give the baby milk while he is suckling. For example, with a dropper or a syringe. • For the first day or two, she should give the full amount of artificial feed for a baby of his weight or the same amount that he has been having before. As soon as her breastmilk begins to flow, she can start to reduce the daily total by 30-60 ml each day. • Check the baby's weight gain and urine output, to make sure that he is getting enough milk. - if he is not getting enough, do not reduce the artificial feed for a few days; - if necessary, increase the amount of artificial milk for a day or two. Some women can decrease the amount by more than 30-60 ml each day. • If a baby has been breastfeeding sometimes, the breastmilk supply increases in a few days. If a baby has stopped breastfeeding, it may take 1-2 weeks or more before much breastmilk comes.'''

 * Doc James, I freely acknowledge that I made a mistake. Now, I did trim the source ever so slightly.  Not near enough, I acknowledge that.  Looking back on how I made this mistake, I think I was focusing on other things.  For example, I really wanted two sources and was focusing on whether I had done a good job summarizing the second, on why the bullet point formatting was not working out, etc.  And then I had time pressures.


 * So, what I'm going to do, is to continue rolling forward. And somewhat go back to my previous methods of working at a slower pace.Cool Nerd (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Indeffing for undisclosed paid editing

 * hm. hm. interesting. i appreciate that and respect your caution.


 * in my view, some among us have already started to treat the obligation to disclose paid editing like policy; i have seen one other admin indef for it that i can rememember and another upholdit (as I posted on the Arbcom request). I am curious how widespread that is. don't you admins all talk to one another on some secret batphone somewhere?  :)  Jytdog (talk) 02:51, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Undisclosed paid editing is a big issue but the question is how to deal with it. Most paid editors simply use one account per job (this case is the acception). Some CUs decline to run cases were the evidence is not based on Wikipedia diffs. Additionally if the person in question has already moved on to their next account what good is blocking all their previous socks unless you are going to use them to follow up and delete what they have done. I see three other potential approaches:
 * Higher standards for notability and deleting spam / advertising aggressively
 * Requesting the sites were the business is taking place to close the accounts involved. They have agreed to do this but often the individuals in question just create new accounts. Likely will need to meet with the companies and put in place better measures. Feel free to start reporting at Elance, Odesk and Fiverr though. All three are accommodating.
 * Work to get bad publicity for the companies involved. So for example Metronic and Premia Spine Limited have both aggressively tried to promote themselves via Wikipedia. The press I think consider this an interesting story. Also the FDA or the European Commission may be interested. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 06:46, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

"There is little evidence for treating most types of chronic pain with opioids."
This is a pretty glaring over-simplfication that requires a lot more explanation. I'm not sure why this should be in the introductory section for a page about "Chronic pain" when really the statement is entirely to do with treatment of CP (or rather a criticism of current treatment for CP). The opinion is by no means widely accepted and at most would belong in a controversial/criticism section. Furthermore, for such a bold statement, something much more authoritative than an NIH workshop should be cited (particularly as you have already declared a minor conflict of interest with the NIH). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.170.229 (talk) 18:23, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:Sanitation Project
Hi,

I was sorting wonderful images of pit latrines and such on the Commons, and looking as the wiki pages, I became aware of you as a major force organising and implementing a sanitation project here. I'd like to join but I don't know how much I'm capably of contributing. But I could be helpful to you on the commons. Right now we're into a big discussion on the best way to organising categories for sanitation-related images, including toilets, latrines, etc. many from African. Do you have any ideas about this? It involves many different cultures and parts of the world. We want everyone to find the categories useful. This is vague but too tired to write more now.

 * User:EChastain that is wonderful. We would love to have you join these efforts :-)
 * User:EvM-Susana is the one that donated all the images. It is great to hear they are being organized.

 * I'm trying to organise the relevant images but I need input from knowledgeable people who have a world-wide view, so that the images will be easily accessible to people of deferent languages and cultures. Plus I want to understand of some of the technical stuff. Also I don't know what's really relevance and what is slush, broadly speaking. But I'm very interested in the whole subject!  And especially input. (I noticed that the article Latrines is a new translation from the French. It's basic article.) EChastain (talk) 04:35, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Maggot therapy
Hi James,

Thanks for the reference feedback. I am a medical professional as well and I would like to share with your that peer reviewed medical journal articles are not always "reliable credible" sources. Here is a site that will help you to see the very ugly truth about this. http://retractionwatch.com/

I am a very strong medical maggot therapy advocate due to me requesting this therapy over traditional methods to help heal a post surgical wound that I was left with. I have learned that here in the US most people don't even know that they have this as an option. It is a very unpopular thing among many medical professionals due to arrogance and ignorance and not being as profitable as surgery. The maggot therapy that I received at Stanford Advanced Wound Care center this past month was very successful and a huge learning curve for both myself and the wound doctor. The treatment worked and amazed everyone on the team. My goal is to raise the awareness of these excellent wound debriders and stop all the misinformation out there.

I am all about quoting reliable sources and much of what I have posted on the Maggot Therapy page is just that. I will continue to work on that page as it dearly needs it. Not sure why someone is trying to put the anti-medical-maggot vibe out there by quoting one poorly carried out study in the UK. I am about to load a ton of credible studies form around the globe to put a stop to this misinformation.

Thanks again,

Hello, thank you for your comments. I am new to wikipedia and appreciate your feedback. However, I must disagree with your removal of my statement from the Breast Cancer Screening page. The reference that I provided is from a peer reviewed journal. In fact, it is from the same year and issue as references 12, 13 and 14 in the wikipedia article.

your opinion requested
Doc James,

i was asked to help with the article Community-led total sanitation by EvM-Susana because she said a psychologist was needed to work on it. The whole article seems to come from one source, has no data regarding effectiveness and the method of changing the behaviour of "rural people" is through shame. I would like to hear your opinion on this article if it's even worth bothering with. I've tried to edit a few others, but get reversed immediately. I think I can only be useful by trying to organize the Commons sanitation issues, but there's no mode to follow here. And the Commons editors and uploaders aren't interested in the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance uploads. No one had done any work on them (over very little), except me. I don't know if I can be useful to this project, although I'd like to find a way. Thanks, EChastain (talk) 04:31, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Solutions 2015
Hi Doc. At first glance I though this account was another SEO spammer following Matthew Woodward's ill-considered advice, but having looked at their edits more closely, it seems that they are genuinely trying to fix dead links. The links they've been adding point to a variety of domains, which are unrelated as far as I can tell - whilst it could be a sophisticated SEO scam, I'm more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt and unblock to see what they do next.

DCIS
Doc, can you cite the irresponsible statement about death stats at DCIS? Family member affected, and that sentence, if false, just creates unnecessary concern. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 22:53, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Hello! I just did a drive-by edit of the rheumatoid arthritis page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rheumatoid_arthritis&diff=650101776&oldid=649322863), because (1) the link to biological agents is to a very different type of 'biological agents' page, and (2) the reference with regards to best practice use of biological agents for RA treatment was to an article on guidelines for Syncope! I figure you originally inserted that reference in 2013 by mistake - so thought I would bring your attention to the change (I did a quick search on pubmed but couldn't see an obvious alternative for what was intended instead) so that you might fix it up. 130.102.158.21 (talk) 04:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

RfC
OK, so Bosstopher closed the parallel RfC, which I am so grateful for. You had posted links there showing examples of paid articles that you identified through elance, and i think it would be helpful to your RfC if you posted them in the discussion of that RfC, when you get time, so that people can see them. ditto any other comment you wrote there, that you think might be useful.

Dementia
When the DSM-5 was introduced in the article in the context of dementia, the DSM-5 became relevant to the subject of dementia. Please stop removing my contribution to the article. If you really hate what Thomas Insel had to say then take it up with him, but please stop vandalizing the dementia page.

Also, I've noticed that you've been erasing my edits going back to February 5, and that each time you have a different reason. So which is it? You just don't like it. Consensus or not, you're being a big baby here. No matter what I do, you're obviously going to keep reverting that page until somebody with the power to do so stops you.

I find it appalling that you keep referring me to wikipedia policy while you keep blatantly abusing those policies yourself. My addition is completely relevant and properly sourced. You have absolutely no business by wikipedia policy to be removing it. You just don't like it. If the DSM-5 is going to be introduced in an article about dementia, then at least some context is necessary considering that dementia is in fact not a mental illness, even by the DSM-5's own admission in their reclassification of it as a neurocognitive disorder. But the DSM is the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. And while psychiatrists may be qualified to treat comorbid symptoms such as aggression, they are in fact not qualified to treat dementia, nor are they the field of science that specializes in science and research for it. So introducing the DSM-5 in the article really wasn't appropriate at all to begin with and if necessary the world health organizations International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems would be the authoritative source for reference to clinical diagnosis and I would have no objection to it replacing the DSM-5 on the dementia page. I still cant wrap my head around why you or anyone would think that the DSM-5 is relevant to this article at all. It is a clinicians tool for achieving medicaid and insurance company reimbursement. It is not used in research and psychiatry does not and has never even specialized in either researching or treating dementia. As it is, the article suffers WP:POV issues as long as it's there and at least needs to be more balanced, although I still think that removing or replacing it entirely is appropriate. Now until we can solve this dispute, please stop reverting my contributions to the article. Considering that they are sourced and certainly reasonable, your behavior in doing so is vandalism. 24.236.138.19 (talk) 15:12, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Would you mind clarifying when (if ever) you were president of Wikimedia Canada? This source from 2011 says you were the president at that time, but their website now says Alan Walker is president.

edit waring at antibiotic resistance again
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You need to be cool when you edit.

You introduce so many mistakes!

You even had to take two reverts back.

Most of all: You need to respect others outside your court, and discuss.--Wuerzele (talk) 05:34, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You edits broke part of the lead (the image)

 * I happened to notice this here, I'm not involved in the content but I took a look at the edit history and Doc's edits are not "edit warring", he even reverted back to your version to try to work with it. Please refer to WP:MEDMOS for formatting standards, and also be aware that many articles on the the translation list, you shouldn't be trying to make changes repeatedly against standards or that will make the job of the translation team more difficult.  Thanks.   06:09, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Heading
Dear Doc James, My name is Lamberto Re, I am a MD and I had my past activity as Pharmacologist and Toxicologist at the Ancona University Medical Faculty. My research field was neuropharmacology and I had experience with Mac Plank Institute in Gottingen. IN my web site www.lambertore.com you could see more detail. Please, I kindly ask you why you deleted my comment on Ozone Therapy where I cited two papers published on international Journals. You could agree or not, but, to my opinion, SCIENCE must be open also to what is new also if it doesn't fit in full the conventional medicine. I suppose that, in the respect to ethic and to global reasearch, it is not elegant a so strong closure to data reported in PUBMED. Sincerely, Lamberto Re, MD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lambertore (talk • contribs) 17:19, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

cochlear implant : Page Protected
Hello Doc James,

I would like to continue to contribute to add informations with references about history of cochlear implant, unfortunately since the vandalism of the page I can't do it. So, is it possible to remove the protection ? Thanks in advance for our answer, Regards Poulpii — Preceding undated comment added 15:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I left a note on your Talk page about SPA/COI concerns, and you have not responded there. Would you please do so?  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 15:23, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Agree some of your edits raise concern such as "He modified the frequency of stimulation, by means of continuous interleaved stimulation (CIS). Curiously however, subsequent descriptions, notably in Nature in 1991 and at a recent media event, although astonishing with respect to the electrophysiology of the cochlear nerve, have never been discussed up to 3 recent technical papers." 

We need the content to be much more encyclopedic in tone. Also we need people to use high quality secondary sources per WP:MEDRS and WP:RS rather than primary or unpublished ones. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:28, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
