Facto Post – Issue 2 – 13 July 2017

Facto Post – Issue 2 – 13 July 2017

Editorial: Core models and topics

Wikimedians interest themselves in everything under the sun — and then some. Discussion on "core topics" may, oddly, be a fringe activity, and was popular here a decade ago.

The situation on Wikidata today does resemble the halcyon days of 2006 of the English Wikipedia. The growth is there, and the reliability and stylistic issues are not yet pressing in on the project. Its Berlin conference at the end of October will have five years of achievement to celebrate. Think Wikimania Frankfurt 2005.

Progress must be made, however, on referencing "core facts". This has two parts: replacing "imported from Wikipedia" in referencing by external authorities; and picking out statements, such as dates and family relationships, that must not only be reliable but be seen to be reliable.

In addition, there are many properties on Wikidata lacking a clear data model. An emerging consensus may push to the front key sourcing and biomedical properties as requiring urgent attention. Wikidata's "manual of style" is currently distributed over thousands of discussions. To make it coalesce, work on such a core is needed.

Heading

Fair enough. I am one of 3 primary publishers in this field and you will see that I am a coauthor on some of the articles and one you see listed. Where do I need to indicate that I am a co author? You are so fast! Thanks Not sure waht all the messages mean. Look forward to being brought up to speed. Dean Dr Reeves (talk) 21:40, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I will not be removing a reference unless I have a new one by the same author or unless it is irretreivably outdated. If I don't have same author to substitude I will try to leave it in to use for clarification with updated information about the incorrect comment. I want to confuse the least so will standby for further nudges.

Replied on your talk page. Stuff from the last 10 years is generally deemed okay. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:46, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

absent edit summaries

what makes you better than the rest that you can omit edit summaries? If you are referring to these edits the explanation is there[1]--Wuerzele (talk) 22:02, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Narcissistic personality disorder

Hi,

I noticed you restored some content I removed. In particular,

Various model have been presented with different ways to further subcategorise the disorder.

and

Therapy is often difficult as people with the disorder frequently do not consider themselves to have a problem

The first one; That's completely true, various models have been presented, none of which are accepted in clinical standards. I find my edit more clear, I take it you don't. I suggest a compromise with changing

While the DSM-5 regards narcissistic personality disorder as a homogeneous syndrome, there is evidence for variations in its expression

to

There is evidence of subcategories within narcissistic personality disorder, however no subcategories are accepted in diagnostic criteria as of 2017.

That's more clear with it's removal of 'variations of expression' and the 'homogeneous syndrome' and highlights that these are not clinically accepted.

For the second edit, if you read through the source, you'll note what I removed is a mischaracterisation of the source material (unless I'm misunderstanding the wikipedia's interpretation, in which case I'd argue it's ambiguous). Again, I suggest a compromise to

The disorder is rarely the primary reason for people seeking treatment, which may make therapy more difficult.

Hollth (talk) 11:16, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This "as people with the disorder frequently do not consider themselves to have a problem." was supported by the reference provided.

For example it says "the grandiosity and defensiveness that characterize narcissistic personality disorder militate against acknowledging problems and vulnerabilities and make engagement in any form of psychotherapy difficult"

Just a heads up

Your name came up more than once in ticket:2017071310023246 --S Philbrick (Talk) 13:59, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reverting "Hope Lee" entry?

Just contacted Wikimedia Support Team regarding the delete of "Hope Lee" entry. Mr. Stephen Philbrick suggested that I get in touch with you.

The "Hope Lee" entry has been deleted on Wikipedia, as explained by Mr. Stephen Philbrick, "it was deleted as a copyright infringement of http://hopelee.shawwebspace.ca/profile/. It was deleted on 9 August 2016 by Doc James"

Whoever put it up on Wikipedia initially, probably got the information from Canadian Who's Who, or the website at the Canadian Music Centre, or the Canadian Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians. As the information is always provided by the subject of the entry, in this case, Hoe Lee, this explains why the information is similar to Hoe Lee's webpage on ShawSpace. The ShawSpace webpage is no longer existing.

My question is, can the entry of Hope Lee be reverted on Wikipedia? Mr. Philbrick is willing to assist if necessary.

Thank you for your attention.

So the article is [3]

I assume this account is also you User:Anne Keng Wei?

The problem is that the article was nearly all copied and pasted from a previously published source if I remember corrected.

Prolotherapy pages

As I am make the first draft on these changes, it is important to convey that this will be a collaborative effort of primary authors, not just me, and there will be editing that goes on for at least a month after I am finished. Any primary references I delete will be updated, typically by a later version from the same author;

e.g., Dr. Rabago's 2017 review was substituted this morning for a further clarification of the definition.

e.g., Dr Rabago will have no trouble deleting his 2011 deference commenting on prolotherapy being considered alternative medicine, since the references are increasingly robust, but he will sign off on this soon enough.

I need to learn the style, and I like your rules. I better like them, as I just realized I am the listed coeditor of the WikiDocs section on prolotherapy that needs updating quite a lot as well. Hopefully the editing characters/method will be similar.

Have a good day. Thanks for your collegial corrections.

Ibuprofen

James, is this really necessary? I don't see the point of repeating the trade names in the Drugbox when they are mentioned clearly in the lead and—especially—when we have a whole article devoted to them. Last time I checked, there wasn't any clear-cut guidance in MOS:PHARM nor in the Drugbox documentation about how many trade names to mention; surely common sense should apply here. Besides, "three most common" is problematic for drugs so widely available worldwide. Why not Aleve, then, or Brufen as the IP insists? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:00, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We generally list a few brandnames in the infobox. Aleve is not ibuprofen but the brand for napoxen. We also list three and thus not Brufen. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:45, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Checking on a deleted page

Dear James,

I've been asked by a former client to check on why his Wikipedia page was deleted. I did some PR work for him in the past and he asked me to check into this for him. His name is Bernt Ullmann. Seems to me that he should be very qualified.

He has created global Lifestyle collections for big celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, her husband Marc Anthony, Adam Levine, Nicki Minaj, Rolling Stones, Steven Tyler, American Idol to mention a few. He has generated celebrity fashion transactions valued at over $6 billion. He has had a lot of press over the years about his business ventures.

Can you please provide insight into why his page was deleted and what can be done to restore it?

Thanks,

Yes the user who created the article User:Yeitnil was using socks in violation of a block and in violation of our WP:TOU. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:03, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, even if the person qualified, his page can be deleted without even a discussion? Seems unfair to the person and it also seems this doesn't serve Wikipedia users well with such a notable person not having a page. Thanks for your quick response. 184.88.249.218 (talk) 13:56, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this was the case we should get rid of rules about socking. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:44, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) I do not know if the person is notable or not, but if so, it could be perfectly reasonable to delete the socked page, but then (unless the pagename has been salted) recreate the page while following proper editing processes. But that depends upon the subject genuinely satisfying the notability guidelines. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:59, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input, Tryptofish So, what is the "proper editing process?" Can I submit it myself? Do you have the ability to look at the page and see if it "genuinely satisfies the notability guidelines?" If so, can you start the process? TriJenn (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Body Volume Indicator/Body Volume Index

Hi James,

I have edited a couple of pages today that were originally created by my company, and you have put a redirect to central obesity on here! By doing this you have removed all of the information and validation data that explains BVI - could you please explain why you have done this?

The information in both pages is the same, but this is because we have copied and pasted from Index to Indicator, as the index pages needs ammending.

I now can't access either page!

Thanks,

Ruth :) RuthEmaWalker (talk) 14:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
