Michael Welner Page
Greetings Jcally66. First of all welcome to the wiki editing community. As one of the editors, I want to be sure you have access to the resources you need to navigate the wiki waters as well as uphold wiki etiquette WP:ETIQ.
 * You have made an edit to Michael Welner page, which has had some issues with bad faith editing. That said, the editing community has established using WP:TALKPAGE or the discussion page before making edits so that the community agrees. Because your first post violates WP:NPOV about peer review and WP:ORIGINAL in that the actual article says nothing about peer review being controversial, nor that is does not adhere to ethical standards, or that the judge equates it to "co-authorship". It has been removed. That said, your contributions are welcome and we ask that you first use the discussion page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Michael_Welner, particularly as you are a new editor, to be sure we are all editing in good faith.Stewaj7 (talk) 11:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review
Stewaj7, I’m not sure where your confusion comes from here, it's the entire basis of the ruling. The judge did not rule to throw out the prosecutions report because the defense side was deprived of “peer review”. He made his ruling because the prosecution’s “peer reviewers” were not acting as peer reviewers (is there a way to attach the entire ruling?). Instead, Judge Conner ruled that they were substantive contributors to the original report on the defendant (thereby violating court orders). I even showed you the part of the ruling with Panel doctor Trestman’s testimony, “Dr. Trestman testified that the peer-review process employed by The Forensic Panel is akin to the process used to prepare a joint paper co-authored by more than one individual. (Tr. of Evidentiary Hr’g, 13, March 23, 2012.)” It doesn’t seem like it can be any clearer than that. (Do the rules here really exclude all court rulings? Even Supreme Court rulings?)
 * No confusion here, just making reference to what was stated in the article you cited: "In an order, Cooper said he was led to believe Morgan would draft a report free of input and influence from anyone else and that would be later reviewed by Marcopulos and Trestman. Instead, Cooper found that Morgan consulted with Marcupulos and Trestman before interviewing Richardson and then, after conferring with Trestman, changed his initial diagnosis that Richardson suffered from schizophrenia to an opinion that he suffered from antisocial personality disorder. This meant there was no longer a level playing field — the government now had three mental health experts and the defense had one, Cooper found. The judge said that, while “grave,” his only remedy was to exclude The Forensic Panel experts from testifying." Stewaj7 (talk) 18:19, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Finally, your reference to clinical peer review actually supports my point, not yours. It describes an example of blind, post-hoc evaluations of other clinicians’ diagnoses and recommendations. Again, find an example of clinical peer review where the reviewers are involved in the initial diagnosis and I’ll concede.
 * There is an article that I found, but I need to get the full text. It has examples of post hoc and a priori peer review <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15228932.2011.588526#preview. . If you can find the full text I think this will be helpful in outlining the variants of peer review. I was simply trying to demonstrate that there are so many Quality assurance/peer review examples. The subject of this BLP actually has done some research on this topic. I hope this is helpful. If you can find the full text, please let me know. That may be worth citing so that the reader gets a sense of forensic peer review as proposed by Welner.Stewaj7 (talk) 18:19, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

If you're refering to the creator of the picture file, rather than the photographer, then I created it myself by scanning the original photo. Jcally66 (talk) 19:35, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
