Hi Permstrump,
I saw your post here regarding the translation of the Slavery in Malta article from French to English. If you're interested in writing the article, I had started a draft of the article some time ago, but I never got around to finishing it. There is also some background information with regards to slavery in 18th century Malta in the Background and Consequences sections of the Conspiracy of the Slaves article. If you decide on translating the article, I'd be happy to help out :) Best regards and Happy New Year, Xwejnusgozo ( talk) 01:40, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply

First, we started identifying rape survivors, now it looks like we are outing rape VICTIMS. Did you see the "Rape on Campus" article?

Anti-semitic anti-Zionism

Can you take a look at the merge discussion on the talk page. Would it be better to simply move this discussion to AFD, where more editors could see it and weigh in? E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:04, 10 March 2016 (UTC) reply

@ E.M.Gregory: Sorry I didn't have a chance to respond before you created the AFD. You must have done that while I was in the middle of writing my reply. I was going to respond on Talk:Anti-semitic anti-Zionism, but I refreshed the screen right before posting and saw your link to the AFD. I was going to suggest WP:RFC, but either way, I think the important thing was opening it up for discussion somewhere that more people will know about it and can weigh in. I'll give my opinion on the AFD after I have a chance to read through some of the sources and the arguments people have already made on the talk page and AFD.

Category:People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Hi, if you believe that the category Category:People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is not defining under WP:CATGRS, then you would need to nominate it for deletion rather than emptying it. Take care. Tanbircdq ( talk) 12:23, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Tanbircdq I suppose for some of the people it could be defining, so that's why I didn't nominate it for deletion. In the first half of the alphabet, there were about 5 people that it was at least arguable, so I didn't remove their names from the category. Most people just had a passing mention of ADHD in a questionable source (or no source). PermStrump (talk) 14:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply
I restored the category on articles where there are available sources supporting its inclusion and left it omitted on the articles where there is not. Tanbircdq ( talk) 15:50, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Tanbircdq, the ones where I left the statements about ADHD within the body at least had sources that seemed like they were verifiable and indicated noteworthiness. The standard for WP:DEFINING is higher though and I had a pretty low bar for "defining." For example, I didn't remove Katherine Ellison from the category, because she's written a book about raising her son when they both have ADHD. There are plenty of sources about her that don't reference ADHD, because she was notable before that, but even though someone could argue that it's not defining for her, I left her in the category, because there's at least an argument that it is. On the other hand, the one source for Avril Lavigne was a video of her saying, "I'm, like, so ADD I couldn't sit still on the plane" and the other was a gossip mag/not RS. The vast majority of sources about her don't mention ADHD, so it's clearly not defining, and I'd say it's even questionable that she ever meant it more than a figure of speech.

In this you removed a link I added to an article I started. I have no problem with the removal of the link (which no longer seems to work). I do have a problem with your edit summary. It was not spam. At the time I added the link, I did so because it seemed pertinent to the article. Feel free to examine my edit history - you will see that I am not a spammer.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder definition updates

Hi Permstrump - Thanks for agreeing to take on the rewrite of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I would be happy to help but I do not know the nuances of the Wikipedia copyright/extensive paraphrasing policy at all let alone how to avoid violating it in a tricky situation like this where we want to preserve fidelity to the definition without veering into "extensive paraphrasing" or use beyond what fair use allows, which already seems to have been an issue in WP articles on DSM topics. As you're probably aware, there is greater attention on NPD right now than ever before. Some are even arguing that one or more current U.S. presidential candidates may meet the diagnostic criteria. It would be incredibly helpful for educating voters in the U.S. if we could point them to a WP article that included up-to-date diagnostic criteria so they can study and make their own decisions on the topic, or at least learn a bit, so if you have time to work on this soon it could be a very timely edit. Everydayrationality ( talk) 19:04, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi Everydayrationality - I did update the criteria with this edit a few hours after I posted on the talkpage. Here's a link to the edits with the previous version before I removed the copyright violations. It wasn't copied from the DSM, but from whatever was the source given. Did you think it was still too closely worded? PermStrump (talk) 19:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply

RFC

I share your pessimism about getting a useful result from an RFC. Few outside respondents would read the article before replying, and even fewer would spend any time looking for other sources. It would have a higher than usual risk of attracting personal opinions instead of source-based editing.

At this point, there's so much traffic and so many discussions going on that I don't expect good results. It might be effective for you to pick a single, less-controversial fact or a single, less-disputed paragraph (not in the lead) and see if you can find consensus around that single thing. It's slow to work through an article like that, and you may have to put up with them trashing the rest of the article around you, but you might be able to get a few bits stabilized.

SPD

Hi! Thanks for helping edit the Sensory Processing Disorder wiki. I have a question. The internal link you deleted was added to calm down disputes between different "factions" of theory in the SPD community. What should we do if there is conflict again? Personally, I would rather leave things the most according to Wikipedia editing protocols. Chibs007 ( talk) 17:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi! @ Chibs007: I don't see any conversation about it on Talk:Sensory processing disorder. Is it in an archive? To be honest, I'm not aware of what the factions or disputes are in relation to SPD. It was a purely stylistic edit. It's hard for me to imagine what kind of dispute that would resolve when the table of contents is right above the classification section that had the internal link I removed.

Museum

I confess I've never heard about young Earth creationist movement until last week, so your latest Talk page msg struck me as funny. Separately, I think that "unchurched" is a code word for "atheist" because the movements who use this term cannot bring themselves to spell out "atheist". :-) K.e.coffman ( talk) 02:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply

K.e.coffman Do you mean the comment where I said I was removing the unsupported line from lead that said, "Tenets of Young Earth creationism nevertheless enjoy substantial support among the general population in the United States..."? They have such substantial support, I can't imagine how you hadn't heard of it until last week! That's funny about "unchurched". I thought it was the guy trying to be polite and not say something like "heathens" or "blasphemers". Did you see my comment on WP:FTN#Creation Museum about "theistic evolutionists"? The one person who responded didn't think it's a dig, but I'm not so sure. I feel like there's no reason to specify otherwise. PermStrump (talk) 02:50, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Yes, exactly. Such a popular destination that I've never heard of the Museum either. My general editing area is World War II history, but I'm finding a lot of similarities between pseudoscience and WWII mythology (check out my user page for examples of the weird POV, apologia and downright silly stuff that I found). Creation Museum, AiG, etc. all have the hallmarks of mythology: taking the org's word as gospel; portraying every minute fact in intricate detail; obfuscation; using dubious sources and / or primary sources; etc. BTW, I responded on the Noticeboard discussion. I'm not that well versed in creationism, but anything that looks like obfuscation is suspect to me. Good work checking in on the sources and highlighting the synthesis that was going on. K.e.coffman ( talk) 03:08, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Funny. I guess all of the fringe is the same no matter what article you're on. I'm mainly interested in editing psychology-related articles and they have a bunch of pop psych, alternative medicine, and scientology fringe that I was thinking reminds me of the Creation Museum.

GAR

I agree with your comments and I was dismayed by the derogatory, attacking and dismissive comments made by others, especially regarding "core policies" and the disparaging remarks such as "waste of time." I noted too a tendency of some commentators to relish the detail of this article, which is as excessive as I've ever seen. Perhaps the only place where they were more excessive was in William L. Uanna before that article was edited, principally by k.e. coffman, after I initiated a GAR. It still relies excessively on primary sources. I wonder what is going on in those articles that they seem to be afflicted that way. Coretheapple ( talk) 17:53, 25 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Coretheapple I was so glad to see your comment at the bottom of the GAR, because until then, I honestly thought I was in the twilight zone. You were really spot on when you said... "fancruft", "echo chamber", "systemic issue". My gut reaction to skimming some WP:MILHIST GARs since yesterday, is that it feels like a WP:WALLEDGARDEN of massively undue weight and fringe promotion of obscure WWII military topics. It would be less confusing if it didn't seem like it was supported by the project. I'll take a look at the Uanna article. PermStrump (talk) 19:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Thanks very much. I actually understand the enthusiasm. Figures from WWII tend to be either evil or heroic, even if one is not related. But I do think that there is a tendency to get stuck in the weeds. And yes, when I brought what I thought was a slam-dunk GAR I was stunned by the replies too. Uanna at one point had little substantive on the reason for his notability, which is that he was head of security for the Manhattan Project. Instead, because of heavy editing by the article creator, his son, the article was a repository for family reminiscences and sheer trivia sourced to primary documents. Coretheapple ( talk) 20:27, 25 June 2016 (UTC) reply

I believe you guys are spot on the "echo chamber" effect. As far as dismissive comments from the lead reviewer, the explanation perhaps can be found in the MilHist coordinators thread, where unnamed editors (presumably myself, as I'm mentioned later) are described as "aggressively pushing" what the editor refers to as "the very hard line anti-Nazi de WP [attitude, being adopted] to the detriment of numerous articles and lists...". He also suggests that the retired editor "has been hounded off WP (a least in part) by such actions".

On my Talk page, the same editor alludes to "en Wiki" as if rules here are different vs other wikis (?) and describes a "dim a view on deletionism" that en Wiki supposedly has. He also refers to my "unique" interpretation of what WP:RS is: Nominations for deletion of Knight's Cross holders.

Bruce Grubb

My original message. PermStrump (talk) 01:16, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your note. Just a clarification — I had noticed the yearlong block and its rationale. My point was that every other block had been unrelated or had had sockpuppetry as a complicating factor.
  • 30 June 2016 — breaking his ban
  • 15 March 2015 — sockpuppetry and breaking his ban
  • 18 March 2014 — sockpuppetry and breaking his ban
  • 25 September 2013 — sockpuppetry
  • 18 October 2012 — sockpuppetry
  • 30 May 2012 — edit-warring
  • 29 May 2012 — edit-warring
  • 21 December 2009 — edit-warring
  • 9 December 2007 — edit-warring
So basically, I couldn't say "Last block for ban evasion was for a time of X" because he hadn't previously gotten blocked merely for ignoring his ban. Thanks for the additional details! Nyttend ( talk) 12:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC) reply
My reply. PermStrump (talk) 01:16, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply
My meaning was (b), since the previous blocks were for ban violation and sockpuppetry; this block was for stuff that wouldn't have warranted sanctions if not for the ban, but all previous blocks warranted sanctions even aside from the ban. Nyttend ( talk) 00:58, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply

I noticed that a few months back you removed content from Medical social work ( | visual edit | history) · Article talk ( | history) · Watch which was reverted by an anon.

Jim1138 Since you pointed that out, I was reviewing my old edits and noticed that the IP hopper archived [3] my comments on the talkpage and placed an autoarchive template set to 30 days [4], which is absurd considering the almost nonexistent volume of posts there. If I restore it to this version [5], think I'll just be inviting a war? Out of all of the articles to spend energy on, Medical social work isn't exactly at the top of my list. I have a lot of social work articles on watchlist, so it seems like I'm always stumbling across drama with the IP hopper. I haven't interjected, because it's always so hard to follow.

Jim1138, will do. As of now, I can't think of any articles that aren't already on your list, probably because I never realize it's the IP hopper until someone else calls it out. Each time, I think "The IP hopper again? On this article?!" Like when I removed that junk on Medical social work, the IP hopper hadn't occurred to me until your message. It's all starting to make more sense though, so I think I'll be able to pick up on it next time. PermStrump (talk) 21:54, 25 November 2016 (UTC) reply
I forgot to mention. I don't have any objection to the content added by the Kerala sock per se. If you want to restore all or part that would be fine. Just as long as it is not added by the sock.

Antisemitic canard / Accusations of controlling the world financial system

Jargon

Hi. This refers. You make two points. (1) that the references are all to a work from the 1880s. But this is because the article is precisely about that work from the 1880s. (2) That it is difficult to understand because of jargon, etc. It's very hard for me, being familiar with the subject and the sometimes technical vocabulary, to grasp which parts would be unfamiliar to a beginner reader. I agree that Wikipedia has an target audience which is not specialist and the whole point of an 'educational resource' is to be educational. But you will need to help me out here!

DYK for Emotional lability

On 7 February 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Emotional lability, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that emotional lability can be seen in conditions such as personality disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and alcohol intoxication, or after a stroke? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emotional lability. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Emotional lability), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Redirects

Hey! Would you be able to explain why you keep creating so many redirects to Frederick Douglass High School (Baltimore, Maryland)?. TheDragonFire ( talk) 17:55, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply

@ TheDragonFire: I had trouble finding it because other schools with common names are disambiguated with just "(Baltimore)", e.g., Western High School (Baltimore). At first I was just going to create the one redirect for Frederick Douglass High School (Baltimore), but then I figured I'd do a couple more while I was at it. Was that annoying? I didn't think anyone would notice. PermStrump (talk) 18:03, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply
Hey! That's all good. All article creations — including redirects — go into a patrol queue, and are reviewed, so I was just ensuring that it wasn't vandalism. I don't think we need that many redirects, so I've tagged some of them for deletion, but the one from Frederick Douglass High School (Baltimore) is fair. The article may actually need to moved there, but I'll leave that for someone else to do. Have a great day. TheDragonFire ( talk) 18:11, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply
@ TheDragonFire: Would you mind also keeping the redirect from Douglass High School (Baltimore)? Locally people usually just call it "Douglass". PermStrump (talk) 18:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply

Bruce Alexander, Ph.D.

Your views on Alexander are such nonsense it's sad that you are this ideologically possessed that you perpetuate in your position.

InSite injection site in Vancouver has been doing research with same conclusions where addiction is increasingly seen to be a disorder of social disconnection.

What about R. Corey Waller of the American Society of Addiction Medicine? Or Robert Malenka of Stanford?

I urge you to divest yourself of this discussion if you earn money counselling or providing any sort of service or product for addiction because that will come out.

I'll bet good money that you are a hardened self-determinist (probably Jewish upbringing) that insists on perpetuating the model of society that rejects more attached familial and communal relationships that would support some individuals and move them away from addiction and other disorders of social disconnection. Johan Hari's book says the same thing, as does tons of other research from Europe and Canada. The US continues this most lucrative of all the matters for the psycho-babble profession.

Category:People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Hi, if you believe that the category Category:People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is not defining under WP:CATGRS, then you would need to nominate it for deletion rather than emptying it. Take care. Tanbircdq ( talk) 12:23, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Tanbircdq I suppose for some of the people it could be defining, so that's why I didn't nominate it for deletion. In the first half of the alphabet, there were about 5 people that it was at least arguable, so I didn't remove their names from the category. Most people just had a passing mention of ADHD in a questionable source (or no source). PermStrump (talk) 14:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply
I restored the category on articles where there are available sources supporting its inclusion and left it omitted on the articles where there is not. Tanbircdq ( talk) 15:50, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Tanbircdq, the ones where I left the statements about ADHD within the body at least had sources that seemed like they were verifiable and indicated noteworthiness. The standard for WP:DEFINING is higher though and I had a pretty low bar for "defining." For example, I didn't remove Katherine Ellison from the category, because she's written a book about raising her son when they both have ADHD. There are plenty of sources about her that don't reference ADHD, because she was notable before that, but even though someone could argue that it's not defining for her, I left her in the category, because there's at least an argument that it is. On the other hand, the one source for Avril Lavigne was a video of her saying, "I'm, like, so ADD I couldn't sit still on the plane" and the other was a gossip mag/not RS. The vast majority of sources about her don't mention ADHD, so it's clearly not defining, and I'd say it's even questionable that she ever meant it more than a figure of speech.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder definition updates

Hi Permstrump - Thanks for agreeing to take on the rewrite of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I would be happy to help but I do not know the nuances of the Wikipedia copyright/extensive paraphrasing policy at all let alone how to avoid violating it in a tricky situation like this where we want to preserve fidelity to the definition without veering into "extensive paraphrasing" or use beyond what fair use allows, which already seems to have been an issue in WP articles on DSM topics. As you're probably aware, there is greater attention on NPD right now than ever before. Some are even arguing that one or more current U.S. presidential candidates may meet the diagnostic criteria. It would be incredibly helpful for educating voters in the U.S. if we could point them to a WP article that included up-to-date diagnostic criteria so they can study and make their own decisions on the topic, or at least learn a bit, so if you have time to work on this soon it could be a very timely edit. Everydayrationality ( talk) 19:04, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi Everydayrationality - I did update the criteria with this edit a few hours after I posted on the talkpage. Here's a link to the edits with the previous version before I removed the copyright violations. It wasn't copied from the DSM, but from whatever was the source given. Did you think it was still too closely worded? PermStrump (talk) 19:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply

RFC

I share your pessimism about getting a useful result from an RFC. Few outside respondents would read the article before replying, and even fewer would spend any time looking for other sources. It would have a higher than usual risk of attracting personal opinions instead of source-based editing.

At this point, there's so much traffic and so many discussions going on that I don't expect good results. It might be effective for you to pick a single, less-controversial fact or a single, less-disputed paragraph (not in the lead) and see if you can find consensus around that single thing. It's slow to work through an article like that, and you may have to put up with them trashing the rest of the article around you, but you might be able to get a few bits stabilized.

I confess I've never heard about young Earth creationist movement until last week, so your latest Talk page msg struck me as funny.

K.e.coffman Do you mean the comment where I said I was removing the unsupported line from lead that said, "Tenets of Young Earth creationism nevertheless enjoy substantial support among the general population in the United States..."? They have such substantial support, I can't imagine how you hadn't heard of it until last week! That's funny about "unchurched". I thought it was the guy trying to be polite and not say something like "heathens" or "blasphemers". Did you see my comment on WP:FTN#Creation Museum about "theistic evolutionists"? The one person who responded didn't think it's a dig, but I'm not so sure. I feel like there's no reason to specify otherwise. PermStrump (talk) 02:50, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Yes, exactly. Such a popular destination that I've never heard of the Museum either. My general editing area is World War II history, but I'm finding a lot of similarities between pseudoscience and WWII mythology (check out my user page for examples of the weird POV, apologia and downright silly stuff that I found). Creation Museum, AiG, etc. all have the hallmarks of mythology: taking the org's word as gospel; portraying every minute fact in intricate detail; obfuscation; using dubious sources and / or primary sources; etc. BTW, I responded on the Noticeboard discussion. I'm not that well versed in creationism, but anything that looks like obfuscation is suspect to me. Good work checking in on the sources and highlighting the synthesis that was going on.

GAR

I agree with your comments and I was dismayed by the derogatory, attacking and dismissive comments made by others, especially regarding "core policies" and the disparaging remarks such as "waste of time." I noted too a tendency of some commentators to relish the detail of this article, which is as excessive as I've ever seen. Perhaps the only place where they were more excessive was in William L. Uanna before that article was edited, principally by k.e. coffman, after I initiated a GAR. It still relies excessively on primary sources. I wonder what is going on in those articles that they seem to be afflicted that way. Coretheapple ( talk) 17:53, 25 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Coretheapple I was so glad to see your comment at the bottom of the GAR, because until then, I honestly thought I was in the twilight zone. You were really spot on when you said... "fancruft", "echo chamber", "systemic issue". My gut reaction to skimming some WP:MILHIST GARs since yesterday, is that it feels like a WP:WALLEDGARDEN of massively undue weight and fringe promotion of obscure WWII military topics. It would be less confusing if it didn't seem like it was supported by the project. I'll take a look at the Uanna article. PermStrump (talk) 19:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC) reply
Thanks very much. I actually understand the enthusiasm. Figures from WWII tend to be either evil or heroic, even if one is not related. But I do think that there is a tendency to get stuck in the weeds. And yes, when I brought what I thought was a slam-dunk GAR I was stunned by the replies too. Uanna at one point had little substantive on the reason for his notability, which is that he was head of security for the Manhattan Project. Instead, because of heavy editing by the article creator, his son, the article was a repository for family reminiscences and sheer trivia sourced to primary documents.

I believe you guys are spot on the "echo chamber" effect. As far as dismissive comments from the lead reviewer, the explanation perhaps can be found in the MilHist coordinators thread, where unnamed editors (presumably myself, as I'm mentioned later) are described as "aggressively pushing" what the editor refers to as "the very hard line anti-Nazi de WP [attitude, being adopted] to the detriment of numerous articles and lists...". He also suggests that the retired editor "has been hounded off WP (a least in part) by such actions".

On my Talk page, the same editor alludes to "en Wiki" as if rules here are different vs other wikis (?) and describes a "dim a view on deletionism" that en Wiki supposedly has. He also refers to my "unique" interpretation of what WP:RS is: Nominations for deletion of Knight's Cross holders.

My original message. PermStrump (talk) 01:16, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your note. Just a clarification — I had noticed the yearlong block and its rationale. My point was that every other block had been unrelated or had had sockpuppetry as a complicating factor.
  • 30 June 2016 — breaking his ban
  • 15 March 2015 — sockpuppetry and breaking his ban
  • 18 March 2014 — sockpuppetry and breaking his ban
  • 25 September 2013 — sockpuppetry
  • 18 October 2012 — sockpuppetry
  • 30 May 2012 — edit-warring
  • 29 May 2012 — edit-warring
  • 21 December 2009 — edit-warring
  • 9 December 2007 — edit-warring
So basically, I couldn't say "Last block for ban evasion was for a time of X" because he hadn't previously gotten blocked merely for ignoring his ban. Thanks for the additional details! Nyttend ( talk) 12:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC) reply
My reply. PermStrump (talk) 01:16, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply
My meaning was (b), since the previous blocks were for ban violation and sockpuppetry; this block was for stuff that wouldn't have warranted sanctions if not for the ban, but all previous blocks warranted sanctions even aside from the ban. Nyttend ( talk) 00:58, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply

prenatal psychology

there is nothing contradictive. the first assumptions concenrning prenatal mental life stem from rank. also others were thinking about that and had anecdotes of prenatal life. later academic psychologists and physiolgists and so on delivered empirical data.

so, in fact, the sentence you deleted describes the historical development perfectly right. Mr. bobby ( talk) 13:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC) Mr. bobby reply

Doc James I thought it was a mistake because of the font...
like when I accidentally put a space in front of a new line of text and it looks like this.
It didn't seem like it had a reason to be there since "manic depression" is already an alternative title in the lead the other two phrases had the word "bipolar" in them, so my first thought was "That had to be an accident. I'll tidy it up." But if it was a conscious decision, I don't really care if it's there. :) PermStrump (talk) 22:36, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Bipolar

You're wrong, gender differences are not covered in the 'Epidemiology' section. Bipolar disorder is generally evenly distributed by sex, however, it's clearly detailed that Bipolar type I is more common in men, Bipolar type II and Cyclothymia is more common in women. Again, this is not detailed in this 'Epidemiology' section.

Furthermore, I had good information and studies, sourced from the NCBI that you deleted - I would recommend reading the studies and reconsidering.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zuormak ( talkcontribs) 12:58, 10 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Narconon - errors in referencing

On 23rd of June you have removed (hid in comments, actually) some references in the main text of Narconon article – special:diff/726677937.

However you have not removed the citations themselves, and now they cause a list of errors at the and of the article:

Cite error: A list-defined reference named "....." is not used in the content (see the help page).

Could you, please fix that, either by restoring <ref>–s or by removing unused citations...? -- CiaPan ( talk) 11:52, 30 August 2016 (UTC) reply

CiaPan: Thanks for the heads up. I didn't notice those error messages all the way at the end of the reference list before. I think I fixed it.

I noticed that a few months back you removed content from Medical social work ( | visual edit | history) · Article talk ( | history) · Watch which was reverted by an anon. This would appear to be an IP Hopper from Kerala, India. See User:Jim1138/IP Hopper from Kerala Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 20:51, 24 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Jim1138 Since you pointed that out, I was reviewing my old edits and noticed that the IP hopper archived [3] my comments on the talkpage and placed an autoarchive template set to 30 days [4], which is absurd considering the almost nonexistent volume of posts there. If I restore it to this version [5], think I'll just be inviting a war? Out of all of the articles to spend energy on, Medical social work isn't exactly at the top of my list. I have a lot of social work articles on watchlist, so it seems like I'm always stumbling across drama with the IP hopper. I haven't interjected, because it's always so hard to follow. PermStrump (talk) 09:33, 25 November 2016 (UTC) reply
I deleted about 12k of the anon's text here. ( wp:deny) So, the conversation is rather moot. If the anon reverts me, he will probably be blocked as a sock. Feel free to do what you want with the archive - restore or leave. I set the archive age to 120 days. I doubt that the anon will bother you much given the trouble I have dealt him recently. Please let me know if you see activity. Any other articles I should add to my watch list that are not on User:Jim1138/IP Hopper from Kerala? Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 09:49, 25 November 2016 (UTC) reply
BTW: feel free to revert anything on social-work related articles that an anon who geolocates to Kerala, India. Leave and ES of "rv sock per [[wp:deny]]" or something like that. If the anon is reverted by more people, I would think he would be more likely to give up? Or, maybe work harder. OCD? Thanks Jim1138 ( talk)
Jim1138, will do. As of now, I can't think of any articles that aren't already on your list, probably because I never realize it's the IP hopper until someone else calls it out. Each time, I think "The IP hopper again? On this article?!" Like when I removed that junk on Medical social work, the IP hopper hadn't occurred to me until your message. It's all starting to make more sense though, so I think I'll be able to pick up on it next time. PermStrump (talk) 21:54, 25 November 2016 (UTC) reply
I forgot to mention. I don't have any objection to the content added by the Kerala sock per se. If you want to restore all or part that would be fine. Just as long as it is not added by the sock. ( wp:deny) I think it does need more references. Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 07:13, 26 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Jargon

Hi. This refers. You make two points. (1) that the references are all to a work from the 1880s. But this is because the article is precisely about that work from the 1880s. (2) That it is difficult to understand because of jargon, etc. It's very hard for me, being familiar with the subject and the sometimes technical vocabulary, to grasp which parts would be unfamiliar to a beginner reader. I agree that Wikipedia has an target audience which is not specialist and the whole point of an 'educational resource' is to be educational. But you will need to help me out here!

DYK for Emotional lability

On 7 February 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Emotional lability, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that emotional lability can be seen in conditions such as personality disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and alcohol intoxication, or after a stroke? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emotional lability. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Emotional lability), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Proper attribution of sources at Common Era

In this edit to Common Era you gave the edit summary " copy and pasted from the source "in the year of the Lord" the brackets are unnecessarily distracting". However, no changes were made to the citations, and I am unable to find the passage you inserted in the cited sources.

Redirects

Hey! Would you be able to explain why you keep creating so many redirects to Frederick Douglass High School (Baltimore, Maryland)?. TheDragonFire ( talk) 17:55, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply

@ TheDragonFire: I had trouble finding it because other schools with common names are disambiguated with just "(Baltimore)", e.g., Western High School (Baltimore). At first I was just going to create the one redirect for Frederick Douglass High School (Baltimore), but then I figured I'd do a couple more while I was at it. Was that annoying? I didn't think anyone would notice. PermStrump (talk) 18:03, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply
Hey! That's all good. All article creations — including redirects — go into a patrol queue, and are reviewed, so I was just ensuring that it wasn't vandalism. I don't think we need that many redirects, so I've tagged some of them for deletion, but the one from Frederick Douglass High School (Baltimore) is fair. The article may actually need to moved there, but I'll leave that for someone else to do. Have a great day. TheDragonFire ( talk) 18:11, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply
@ TheDragonFire: Would you mind also keeping the redirect from Douglass High School (Baltimore)? Locally people usually just call it "Douglass". PermStrump (talk) 18:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply
Sure. Feel free to remove the speedy tags from any you are particularly attached to. It's just so many is unnecessary, especially one's with incorrect capitalization. TheDragonFire ( talk) 18:17, 15 April 2017 (UTC) reply

Bruce Alexander, Ph.D.

Your views on Alexander are such nonsense it's sad that you are this ideologically possessed that you perpetuate in your position.

InSite injection site in Vancouver has been doing research with same conclusions where addiction is increasingly seen to be a disorder of social disconnection.

What about R. Corey Waller of the American Society of Addiction Medicine? Or Robert Malenka of Stanford?

I urge you to divest yourself of this discussion if you earn money counselling or providing any sort of service or product for addiction because that will come out.

I'll bet good money that you are a hardened self-determinist (probably Jewish upbringing) that insists on perpetuating the model of society that rejects more attached familial and communal relationships that would support some individuals and move them away from addiction and other disorders of social disconnection. Johan Hari's book says the same thing, as does tons of other research from Europe and Canada. The US continues this most lucrative of all the matters for the psycho-babble profession.
