Talk:Tourette syndrome/Archive 11#Common

Eplee appears unconvinced. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:17, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That does not cover anything relevant. Like all relative terms, "common" is meaningless without quantification. It is just poor writing. This syndrome is more common than some things, and less common than other things. The useful information that anybody would want to see is actually how common it is, and that information is given. Eplee (talk) 00:22, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We already covered this (see extensive archive) when Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Moaia/Archive this happened. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:23, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are posting links that have no relevance. The useful thing to state is how common it is. The mere word common does not do that. Eplee (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This conversation has already been had. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:32, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the second paragraph of the lead: It is no longer considered rare; about 1% of school-age children and adolescents are estimated to have Tourette's. [1] SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:43, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"common"

well i'm late to the party but i also question how "common" this condition is in otherwise healthy populations? in what groups is it common? prevalence is stated to be 1%, which would make the world population approximately 70,000,000. is that an accurate figure? the section in archive 11 wasn't helpful nor was the above section. 173.87.170.14 (talk) 19:53, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
