Regarding this edit on the PTSD article, I had changed "9% at some point" to "Lifetime prevalence for adults is 8.7%" because I do not understand what the phrase "at some point" means. Specifically, does it refer to incidence or prevalence? - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 10:36, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
prevalence rate: The proportion of persons in a population who have a particular disease or attribute at a specified point in time or over a specified period of time. http://www.cs.columbia.edu/digigov/LEXING/CDCEPI/gloss.html

I appreciate you debating this with me because it forced me to think more carefully. I now realize that my concern is that there are different types of prevalence, about which most laypeople--and many professionals--are not aware, or do not understand fully. For example, although I've had graduate coursework in public health & epidemiology, I usually have to look up definitions to make sure I understand the type of prevalence referenced in an article. As I thought about this question, I also realized I better double check DSM-5 to ascertain which type of prevalence they use. I'm glad I did so because DSM-5 indicates that lifetime morbid risk is 8.7% (DSM-5 uses a less common term, "projected lifetime risk") and 12-month prevalence is 3.5%. I changed the infobox accordingly - see what you think. Thanks - - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 06:50, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Why do you think "intrusive memories or dreams" instead of "Disturbing thoughts, feelings, or dreams related to the event" Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 15:10, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi James. Please could you tell me whether this message (see the link) would be suitable to post at the discussion board for WikiProject Medicine? [1]
My understanding is that the complement system is relevant for WP:Physiology, but that seems inactive. But then maybe WP:Physiology is a subgroup of WP:Medicine? Anyway, please give me your thoughts on whether I should post it on WP:Medicine at all (I was thinking here), if you have the time to check. Thank you! -- Treetear ( talk) 17:06, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Concerning your revert Ref says o.4: This is not true. The source clearly says that 0.4 is for the symptothermal method only, which is exactly what I was trying to clarify. -- rtc ( talk) 10:38, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Lymphangiomatosis looks unloved. Do you know someone who is active in the correct area who might take it on? Guy ( Help!) 10:22, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
I think your inclusion of an unpublished meta-analysis in an obscure journal is not justified, and should be deleted. Better to wait for CDC/WHO to continue to review the evidence and see if they change their evaluation of the evidence. I only read the abstract because I won't pay for reading an non-peer reviewed article. Did you review the entire article and decide that this is recommendation-changing evidence?

I've caused this year to end on a chord of disappointment for many, but I hope that despite my mistakes and the differences in opinion and perspectives, and regardless of what the outcome is or in what capacity I can still contribute in the coming year, we can continue working together directly or indirectly on this encyclopedic project, whose ideals are surely carried by both of our hearts. I'm hoping I have not fallen in your esteem to the level where "no hard feelings" can no longer ring true, because I highly respect you and your dedication to Wikipedia, and I sincerely wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2018.

It's that time of the year, James. No fancy template, but just wishing you all the best for the holidays and the new year, and thanking you for all you do for the project. It's probably a lot warmer where I am than where you are 😎 Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:43, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Doc James: Could you perhaps have a look at the removal of this COI tag? I do not think the removal is justified. Thanks. -- Saidmann ( talk) 12:22, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Contrary to your claim, the statistical numbers I added under the addiction section is not directly referenced under social . On the contrary, the references to the epidemic under social is cast in a light of efforts to minimize the epidemic rather than draw interested readers to the significant size effects of the epidemic.
I would also question your vested interest in the subject under Wikipedia rules as your edits can be shown to systematically place the drug in a positive light.

There are two hoff refs that cover different page ranges. You are going to end up disassociating the content from its page numbers. I've asked the guild of copy editors how to resolve this and I am waiting for their response. There are two Hoff refs, each one with a different page range.

How about combining a Barnstar with a Christmas Card? That is why this message is appearing on your talk page. Simultaneously and at the same time, this barnstar is conferred upon you because during this past year you worked and contributed your time to improve the encyclopedia. You also have received far too little recognition for your contributions. In addition, this is a small attempt at spreading holiday cheer. I've appreciated all the things that you have done for me. The Best of Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ and Merry Christmas 00:47, 24 December 2017 (UTC) |

Hello,
Several years ago, a page was created that contained my biography. It's proven to be helpful on multiple occasions as a reference for people who were doing research on me or a company for whom I worked. I just noticed that the page was deleted in Sept 2017 by you. May I ask why please? And is it possible to reestablish the page? I think the last time I looked at it was about 6 months ago, and it looked accurate. Were there changes made to the page by someone that caused you to delete it?
Thank you very much.

Hi Doc James,
Why did you revert my recent edits without commenting? Both of those statements are non-fact based opinions that are either unsourced or are improperly unsourced.
The Phage therapy article is appalling, full of crap sources and anecdote. Something for your "to do" list? Ratel ( talk) 20:41, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
Doc, what's your take on the value (as a potential source in WP) of this article? [5] I'm unclear how the various lists of prestige journals and the various indexes and such get factored in for stuff related to psychology and things like ASD. Any insights would be welcomed.
