If anyone agrees, I would like to add "The Big Hit" to the list of movies, which are "attempting to depict characters with the disorder", due to its main character. [[Special:Contributions/83.17.84.82|83.17.84.82]] ([[User talk:83.17.84.82|talk]]) 08:25, 13 August 2011 (UTC) |

If anyone agrees, I would like to add "The Big Hit" to the list of movies, which are "attempting to depict characters with the disorder", due to its main character. 83.17.84.82 (talk) 08:25, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
according to this [3] article, Marlyn had it. Kittybrewster ☎ 16:43, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- That article is a dead link. There are a number of celebrities that show signs of personality disorder. However, wikipedia is not the place for such gossip. Reub2000 (talk) 03:43, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Archiving
Since this talk page is so long, I'm turning on auto-archiving, so messages older than 90 days will be moved to the archive sub-pages. This will make it easier to follow discussions. Let me know if there are any objections. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:10, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Where are those? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.19.137 (talk) 05:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for noticing; it wasn't showing up properly because the older, manual archives made in 2006 & 2007 were not named the same way that we currently name archives. I've moved the old pages to conform to the current naming scheme. There's now a box in the upper right, just below the Wikiproject info and to the right of the To Do list, that has all of the archives listed. For some reason, there is no Archive 3, but I don't believe any old information is missing. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Misuse of term
When referring to Star Wars, you use the term hexology. The correct term for a series consisting of six is hexalogy 76.179.134.194 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC).

The section:
Borderline personality disorder was once classified as a subset of schizophrenia (describing patients with borderline schizophrenic tendencies). Today BPD is used more generally to describe individuals who display emotional dysregulation and instability, with paranoid schizophrenic ideation or delusions being only one criterion (criterion #9) of a total of 9 criteria, of which 5, or more, must be present for this diagnosis.
Should read:

i.e. the word Schizophrenic should not be present. Paranoid ideation is the correct term. Paranoid schizophrenic already implies the person has schizophrenia. This may cause alarm and confusion swell as being incorrect. Gyulafekete (talk) 15:37, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Semi-protection?
It says that this article was semi-protected sometime last October because of excessive vandalism, but I didn't see anything in the talk archive. Looking at the entries above, it looks like the newbies have many constructive edits to add. Is this really justified? Reub2000 (talk) 03:47, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- You're always welcome to request removing semi-protection. :-) The best place would either be the protecting admin's talk page or at WP:RUP. Avicennasis @ 07:41, 17 Sivan 5771 / 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, we can give it a trial - a lot of medical articles seem to erode or amass material at a fairly steady rate - not a problem over a week or two but can be a headache to monitor over months to years. We can see how it goes. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:51, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm a (relative) newbie who will likely come and go on Wikipedia occasionally. I did some edits on this article in the section that was titled, "Mediators and Moderators," which was tagged for being overly technical and hard for a nonspecialist reader to understand. While I'm not the author of the original section and hope the author reviews my edits, I hope I have made a step in the direction of a clearer section that's relevant to the article topic. I didn't know the article was semi-protected and am not even sure what that means, but hope someone will let me know if they have any concerns about my edits, thanks.

- I like it. I just made some minor changes--section titles only get caps on the first word (unless there's a proper noun); we don't include the years of the article publishing in the text like journal articles do; and refs are usually, though not always, better at the end of sentences. Semi-protection means that only editors who have a registered account (i.e., not editing as an anonymous IP) and have been editing for at least 4 days and 10 edits can edit the article. You've already passed that threshold, which is why you were able to edit the article. It's used mainly to stop vandalism from anonymous editors. I felt your version was such an improvement that you've fixed the problem that the template mentioned, so I removed it. Thanks! Qwyrxian (talk) 12:06, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
