Digital media use and mental health - soon FA nom? Interesting at least!
Hi there how are you? I noticed you're one of the few members in the addictions and recovery project. I thought if you had time and I could interest you could assist me as many others have with Digital media use and mental health pre FA nom.

Theres a few related page move / terminology discussions 1. Here (social media addiction) 2. Here (Internet addiction disorder)

I have had a lot of input from others here for considering the FA nomination, Digital media use and mental health, if you have any further input!

Thanks so much for any thoughts!

Also many thanks to the extensive involvement of User:Doc James, User:Casliber, User:Farang Rak Tham, User:Seppi333, User:Twofingered Typist, User:Bondegezou, User:FeydHuxtable and others. -- [E.3]  [chat2]  [me]   00:28, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * thanks for reaching out, I'm sorry I missed this. 2019 has been a hell of a year for me. I am very impressed with what you've done with this article. More so since I've been reading a lot of Jaron Lanier and Shoshana Zuboff recently and this is a topic that is very deserving of more attention. My over all thought (and one that I'm unsure of the amount of WP:MEDRS there could be to resolve it) is that the article is too general. The way it's framed is that all digital media use is similar. Jaron Lanier pointed out before there's likely substantial difference between someone who spends all day on The WELL and someone who spends all day on Facebook, or put another way the design of The WELL makes it unlikely that someone would want to spend all day on it whereas with Facebook it's part of their business model. Even within the subset of gaming, he might also comment that there's a difference between World of Warcraft and playing around in VR to experience homuncular flexibility.
 * As far as how this fits in with addiction and recovery, I suppose I think of the distinction between substance abuse and behavioral addiction, and behavioral addictions are very real. I did a small amount of work on the On-Line Gamers Anonymous article years ago, and doesn't look like too much has happened with it since. - Scarpy (talk) 19:35, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

MIGEL Coronavirus vaccine: 29 February 2020
I'm finding it significant that the Israeli vaccine news isn't making it on the page pertaining to the 2019 Coronavirus outbreak. One has to wonder why... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.53.0.49 (talk) 21:10, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Cusper
Hey Scarpy, since you did a great job expanding and adding content to the Cusper article, I thought I should let you know that there has been an IP hopper who has been repeatedly adding unsourced/poorly sourced content to the article and misrepresenting one of the sources that you added. More help is needed to patrol the article. Thank you! Some1 (talk) 16:51, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * thanks for looking out for it. It's on my watchlist be the edits seem to have eluded me. - Scarpy (talk) 04:07, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
