Just throwing a pebble into the treacle - when and how did the concepts get separated? Heroin was originally a trademark, but is now generic; so was aspirin, which is now mostly generic; I think that Aspro may still be a trademark in some countries, for the reassurance of those who feel happier paying twice as much for the identical formulation.
A fellow patent agent once told me that companies introducing a novel pharmaceutical have nowadays (from at least the 1990s) to think up two new names (typically based on the IUPAC name, or on the organism they found it in or derived it from). They register the catchier one as their trademark, and submit the other for registration as the generic name. Generic drug and drug nomenclature don't explain the history and reasons, but might usefully do so. Trademark dilution doesn't quite relate to the special circumstances in pharma. There was a step change somewhere between sulfa and ranitidine/Zantac. An article would take some research, but could be valuable. Narky Blert ( talk) 21:45, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Doc James - Help me understand the importance of "also known as a drug use disorder" to the first sentence of Substance use disorder. There might be a good reason that I'm not aware of. ¶ I had removed the phrase for 3 reasons:
(1) DSM-5 does not indicate that "drug use disorder" is an equivalent term.
(2) I started working in the substance abuse field in 1981 (as an addiction counselor during college). Over the past 40 years several terms have been proposed, used, discarded, revived, and modified—leading to confusion and uncertainty among treatment professionals, patients/clients, families, and policy-makers. The American Psychiatric Association and the WHO ICD-11 team have gradually improved their respective substance use disorder nosologies over the years. Both systems now use "substance" instead of "drug".
(3) One of the reasons for not using the term "drug use disorder" (or "drug dependence" or "drug abuse") is that many people—the general public and many health professionals—tend to think of alcohol as somehow different from other drugs. As you know, there are many historical, cultural, and psychological reasons for this artificial division, nonetheless, for years substance abuse treatment professionals have used phrases such as, "alcohol and other drugs", "AOD dependence" (alcohol and other drug dependence), "the drug, alcohol", etc., in an attempt to educate patients and others. Both DSM and ICD shifted to "substance use" in part to avoid terminology that reinforced the unscientific distinction between alcohol use disorders and all the other drug use disorders.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you being blocked from editing—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi Doc James.
From the Wikipedia contributors, I find you the best starting point. Please let me know: 1) Do you consider the content useful for Wikipedia? 2) What pages may be improved by such content? 3) What content and style changes would you suggest? 4) Do you think I should ask somewhere else?
I have organized a translation of a poster about the correct sneezing and coughing ( link). The contents are according to the WHO recommendations and the tone is informal. Currently 4 languages are ready, 6 need to be reviewed, several more to be done today. The translations are done by native speakers and peer-reviewed by native speakers (mainly my friends).
The original (in Russian) is licensed under CC-BY. The translations I release in CC-BY-SA (with the agreement of the named translators). The format for Wikipedia will be svg

Hi Doc James.
From the Wikipedia contributors, I find you the best starting point. Please let me know: 1) Do you consider the content useful for Wikipedia? 2) What pages may be improved by such content? 3) What content and style changes would you suggest? 4) Do you think I should ask somewhere else?
I have organized a translation of a poster about the correct sneezing and coughing ( link). The contents are according to the WHO recommendations and the tone is informal. Currently 4 languages are ready, 6 need to be reviewed, several more to be done today. The translations are done by native speakers and peer-reviewed by native speakers (mainly my friends).
The original (in Russian) is licensed under CC-BY. The translations I release in CC-BY-SA (with the agreement of the named translators). The format for Wikipedia will be svg
.

I posted a question yesterday here which I couldn't find now when I looked. Here's the first dif where #31-35 disappear. How are we to interpret? I'm surprised the edit history notes a net positive character count for that dif. Thanks. Moksha88 ( talk) 02:08, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

I sure did sir, I have also tried three different formats, Windows, Mac, and Android. As a fellow Canuck can I ask that you revert to the original until both a working template is in AND support for a scrolling box is verified in the talk page. Krazytea( talk) 05:04, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi! Just a heads up that I've proposed for deletion the page Acuminatus. – Uanfala (talk) 12:24, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Also @ Hzh: or others who make serious (whether agreeing with me or not :)) comments - Some comments or !votes at Talk:2020 coronavirus pandemic in Poland/Archive 1#Proposal: definition of recovered from sources would be welcome. Or wait and watch, and then become an uninvolved closer. Boud ( talk) 14:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
