Sorry for the editing conflict on
Metabotropic glutamate receptor! --
RichG 07:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
There is a statement in Metabotropic glutamate receptor,
"Rather than having much direct effect on postsynaptic potential, mGluRs serve to modulate the function of other receptors (Chu and Hablitz, 2000). "
I believe this to be in error. Though I cannot access the full article by Chu and Hablitz, metabotropic receptors do not modify other receptors. They usually modulate cAMP which leads to changes in ion channels - and through this they do change the postsynaptic potential. --RichG 10:33, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
and later in the discussion:
Sorry to bug you, but I'm having trouble with this page I'm working on, wound healing phases. I can't get the footnotes to match up to the numbers of the references; the numbers are automatically generated and just go in order in the article, so if I cite the same thing twice, it gets two different numbers. I've looked everywhere for how to get the numbers to correspond to those in the refs, can you tell me? Thanks! Delldot 14:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Medical articles on Wikipedia must be cited by the best available evidence and written in a consistent format. We typically use review articles. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN, additionally, the Citation Template Generator will aid in the formatting of references; all one needs to do is cut and paste the results. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note.

Hello RichG,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cold Therapy for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
SamHolt6 ( talk) 00:06, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Cold Therapy, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. -- David Biddulph ( talk) 01:13, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
I DID resolve the problem, and the person who put the tag agrees. As for the sources tag, I put a reference and I even read "when and how to remove this tag" RichG ( talk) 01:17, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
You are right about references and links, but sorry, you didn't look carefully enough. The link does discuss cold therapy. Here is a copy of part of it: "Cold Therapy Click HERE and HERE to Watch the Videos Developed by Sam Vaknin, Cold Therapy is based on two premises: (1) That narcissistic disorders are actually forms of complex post-traumatic conditions; and (2) That narcissists are the outcomes of arrested development and attachment dysfunctions. Consequently, Cold Therapy borrows techniques from child psychology and from treatment modalities used to deal with PTSD. Cold Therapy consists of the re-traumatization of the narcissistic client in a hostile, non-holding environment which resembles the ambience of the original trauma. The adult patient successfully tackles this second round of hurt and thus resolves early childhood conflicts and achieves closure rendering his now maladaptive narcissistic defenses redundant, unnecessary, and obsolete. Cold Therapy makes use of proprietary techniques such as erasure (suppressing the client’s speech and free expression and gaining clinical information and insights from his reactions to being so stifled). Other techniques include: grandiosity reframing, guided imagery, negative iteration, other-scoring, happiness map, mirroring, escalation, role play, assimilative confabulation, hypervigilant referencing, and re-parenting. Cold Therapy Lecture Notes Introduction to Cold Therapy (German) Cold Therapy, Warmly Recommended" RichG ( talk) 01:37, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Ahh.. thank you and sorry! Yes I had a "|" in the link causing a mistake. Now it is fixed. RichG ( talk) 02:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
The article Cold Therapy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No sources given to demonstrate notability of this particular technique, nor are any readily apparent. Possible promotion concerns given that the only thing resembling a source is a link to a page by the purported creator of this method (Sam Vaknin) and because the original content of the page was copyvio from that link. Regardless, seemingly niche psychological therapy about which there are not a mass of reliable secondary sources fails WP:GNG. Given the lack of third-party sources I think this fails a merge into Sam Vaknin but that's a reasonable fallback.
