Back to old Medical Sociology article
[edit]Why was the info from medical sociology deleted and everything redirected to sociology? Med. Sociology is a real field and deserves its own article. I am putting it back - please provide explanation if you disagree --Chinawhitecotton 03:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Abnormal psychology is a real field, too, but it's a subgroup of psychology. This article should be merged into sociology because there is not enough unique information about this field to warrant it having its own article. Nothing "deserves" its own article if it can't fill one. --76.217.112.38 (talk) 06:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Which Howard Becker?
[edit]Please fix the link to Howard Becker. I would but I'm not sure which one it is. Thanks, Postpostmod (talk) 17:31, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Alot of copyright violations
[edit]The Key Themes section of the article appears to violate copyright policy with the use of this source: https://books.google.ie/books?id=C6g5DQAAQBAJ&lpg=PA337&ots=dY88QPmSNL&dq=We%20see%20%22two%20emergent%20lines%20of%20sociological%20investigation%20as%20we%20move%20to%20examine%22%20the%20future%20of%20medical%20sociology%E2%80%94each%20related%20to%20the%20other.&pg=PA337#v=onepage&q=We%20see%20%22two%20emergent%20lines%20of%20sociological%20investigation%20as%20we%20move%20to%20examine%22%20the%20future%20of%20medical%20sociology%E2%80%94each%20related%20to%20the%20other.&f=false
The History section also has big problem with copy/paste.
Adding this as a formal copypast template:

Thanks for this @Arch dude:. I didn't do an analysis of the lead, so I'm not sure what was questionable there. Also, the further readings, external links etc. are worth keeping. I will ask for help on Wikiproject sociology to start rewriting this page. However, I'd like to try to retain some of the material if possible. I don't suppose it is possible just to remove all the edits from the anonymous edit IP address that contributed the most word count? If not, what would be the best way to work with the earlier version of this article so that I can see what from the lead can be retained? Should I copy a previous version into my sandbox to work with it there? AugusteBlanqui (talk) 06:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- @AugusteBlanqui: The copyvio template includes instructions on how and where to begin a rewrite. Look for "Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material" within that huge notice. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:24, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I'm not really competent. In an ideal world, we could somehow retain the edit history of the non-copyvio stuff. Perhaps the admins will find this and figure out how to help. @John of Reading: what say you? I cannot figure out how to do this since there was a lot of editing both prior and after the copy/paste. Perhaps I should have started by reverting back the the version immediately prior to the huge insert, but an admin action would still be needed to delete the history. -Arch dude (talk) 07:57, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Arch dude:@John of Reading:If it would be possible to revert back to the version prior to the large copy/paste that would be great. The questionable content was added on April 1, 2014.AugusteBlanqui (talk) 09:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- If you began a "Temp" rewrite by copying in the March 31, 2014 version of the article, with a clear edit summary, I think an admin would be able to re-arrange the history of the article and the "Temp" page afterwards. Or just wait a week and an admin will get to the listing at Wikipedia:Copyright problems and work out what to do. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:21, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ok, I have attempted to start the rewrite using the 26 March 2014 version of the article. It is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Medical_sociology/Temp

More examples
[edit]I think some of the sections here are kinda theoretical it might be good to fill our some examples. E.g. prominent examples of medicalization or the role of professions. Perhaps early ethnographic research or something like that? Talpedia (talk) 23:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
