I noticed that in this edit, you referred to "vandalism". One of Wikipedia's most important principles is to assume good faith. This edit is clearly in good faith. Please remember not to assume an edit is vandalism unless it is very clear that its intent is malicious. For more information, see Wikipedia:Vandalism, and in particular, the section on what does not constitute vandalism.-- Ginkgo100 talk 20:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am writing about a comment you made on the ADHD talk page reading "Any person editing Wikipedia should AT LEAST know what they are talking about. Having an education is a good way to achieve this; in fact, it is the BEST way to achieve this." This statement appears to imply that other editors generally, and myself specifically, do not have an education. I am dismayed to read an insulting comment such as this on a talk page. I understand your position on who should be allowed to edit articles, but nevertheless I would gently suggest you read over Wikipedia's guideline on civility. There are other ways to make your point, and making assumptions about other people's credentials is not one of them. Neither is condescension. If I misunderstood your intention here, please accept my apologies. Thank you. -- Ginkgo100 talk 03:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry on the name, simple mistake. You can't have ADHD because you are an adult. Currently, it is not accepted withing the psychiatric/psychological community that adults can have ADHD. In fact, it is barely accepted that ADHD even exists. Further, even if you have ADHD, doesn't give you insight into the scientific and technical aspects of the condition, especially not enough to decree that, despite a total lack of scientific consensus and a total lack of evidence, it is a neurological condition. Regarding references, another user pointed out to you that the DSM-IV-TR is considered the ultimate reference in this situation. I would point out to you that it almost exactly matches the ICD10 criteria as well. Why he didn't just edit the article with that reference included like I did, is hard to say. The fact that you have a personal agenda to make unsupported assumptions about a condition you believe you have is obvious by your reversion of the article to a previous incorrect statement without any more of a reference than the person who told you about the reference did. Unfortunately, I am not even sure who that was, because they didn't sign their comment.-- Jkhamlin 22:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to encourage you to keep going. I have a chapter being published in a book "ADHD Revisited" but my contributions on this page were consistently deleted. Now all references to my article are gone, including on the discussion page. The lack of objectivity displayed here is truly extraordinary, but not surprising when you review the literature. Fortunately they haven't completed eliminated my contributions on the ADHD controversy page. See the discussion of the PET scans on that page, which so far they have not removed, but don't allow an the mainstream ADHD page. The people controlling this page have absolutely no understanding of how science operates. It is all what "the experts" say. I eventually gave up because you can only spend so much time reasoning and rebutting their arguments. Moreover, the more I argued the more energized they became in searching out and eliminating any contributions I made to the page. You might find my article useful. Here is the link.

Good luck. You have zero chance of succeeding in getting the page changed. They will wear you down, but it is nice to see the voice of reason reborn again and again and some people do read the discussion page.

I'll spare you the standard template, as I'm pretty sure you know the policy, but don't do that. You don't know anything about me, and we're not going to trust your word on something you have no evidence for. -- Ned Scott 20:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
