ageing page uneeded section

I was wondering if you think the effects of aging section, on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageing is unneeded. the page already covers effects of ageing in other sections of the page, and dose it better, the section is just a list. Seems redundant to me for that section to exist.

I provides an overview Ageing#Effects_of_ageing does. The other section more provides the underlying mechanism. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:03, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I get that but I am wondering if that overview is even needed. to me it is not the rest of the article provides more detailed information of what ageing is and about, the effects of ageing section dose not and like I said is basically just a list which makes me think it is not really needed to me

I think it is useful personally. Have you asked for further input on the talk page. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:24, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

no I have not I wanted to get replies as soon as possible and I notice on a lot of talk pages questions can go unanswered for years which is why I am asking people who edit the page directly like you. to me the overview is not really useful the rest of the article goes into detail of what ageing is about and it's effects as well having a overview which is just a list of different things, some of which are talked about in more detail seems redundant and unneeded to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lankeyman (talk • contribs) 22:30, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We tend to organize article per WP:MEDMOS. We have a section that presents the symptoms and we separate that from the one that discusses discusses that mechanisms that may bring about those symptoms. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:34, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Lankeyman: Why the removal of information and/or sources to Hypogonadism and Late-onset hypogonadism (no wp:ES)? You removed/changed the wording to hypogonadism to state that testosterone levels do not decrease with age which is contrary to sources. You also removed sources and changed the wording to Late-onset hypogonadism which also disassociated the link between aging and testosterone. Jim1138 (talk) 22:49, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Confused

Is there an explanation of your removal of content and references here and your edit summary of 'hum' and 'moving'? A move didn't occur unless you meant re-move. Even a bot came after you to restore references. Regards,Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 21:15, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This [2] does not belong on that page. It belongs on the phytobezoars page if supported by proper sources. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:25, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Take to talk

We have got to get some consensus going here. Please take your concerns to the talk page of....I can't remember the name now since you changed it! Seriously, this is getting funny.Regards,Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 22:07, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect renaming

Good morning DocJames, I've responded to your message on my talk page, but just in case a confirmation here. I saw that you incorrectly renamed the IQOS article to a more generic name - I really do not understand your logic there as IQOS is a brand in a broader category (just like Eclipse and Premier), and currently the only one that is really distributed globally (all other products are still being test-marketed or have been discontinued). Can you please help me move it back (at least do the re-renaming)? Thank you for your help, SimonDes (talk) 07:16, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We name stuff by the generic generally. So it is now correctly named. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning!

Hello Doc James,

I had a few questions regarding editing footnotes on material for conditions. If I edit content for something like, cervicogenic headaches, how long before my edit will show up on Wikipedia and/or be reviewed? I added content last night and it was gone this morning. I included work cited resource for the edit.

Thanks much! I'm new to Wikipedia and interested in adding to the knowledge.

Your revert on Snakebite

About your revert on the Snakebite article – the cited CDC source is an article entitled "Venomous snakes", and its scope is limited to that topic. Saying that a snake bite "often results in two puncture wounds from the animal's fangs" can give the reader the impression that snakes typically have fangs. That's not true, although it is a common misconception. The vast majority of snakes have no fangs and no venom. An article about snakebite as a health problem would tend to be implicitly limited in scope to bites from venomous snakes, simply because bites from nonvenomous snakes are basically harmless. The Wikipedia article needs to be clear about that, and should not encourage misconceptions. In an article about venomous snakes, it's fine to say that fang marks are a symptom of snakebite, but at that point in the Wikipedia article, there has been no limitation of scope to the discussion of venomous snakes. Among the snakebite symptoms listed by that cited CDC article about venomous snakes, essentially none of them would be exhibited when bitten by a nonvenomous snake (perhaps there would be a little redness and swelling, and puncture wounds although not a pair of them, and breathing disturbance as an emotional reaction). —BarrelProof (talk) 18:18, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I am happy with the clarification of "venomous snakes" that you make here. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:58, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Juul electronic cigarette

This is a notable cigarette I absolutely contest this bold merge. I don't writing articles without putting a considerable among of time in before determining notability I've been doing so for the last decade. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 04:20, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is simple one of hundreds of brands of this product. I disagree that it is notable by itself. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:21, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to open an AfD if this is merged, should we just skip to that step as AfD is more final? An editor I never dealt with already began a raid of personal attacks. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 00:14, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No AfD is not "more final". No need to open an AfD. You appear to be making a number of personal attacks :-( Would likely be good to take a step back. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:27, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just letting you know AfD is more final and if merge I'll open an AfD for final consensus. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 13:39, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After it is done sure. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Join the next cycle of Wikimedia movement strategy discussions (underway until June 12)

Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.

You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.

Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:

On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

Stomach cancer

You have reverted my edit saying the content is 'well referenced'. There is no reference or inline citation to picked vegetables 'causing' cancer, and the text body is contradictory. Why have you reverted this? I will revert this again if no reference or evidence that picked vegetables 'cause' cancer can be provided.
