I don't understand why exactly you undid my edit. I particularly don't understand why you undid the part of the edit that concerned Serotonin Syndrome. Please explain. Thanks! Dfdemt (talk) 04:07, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
- You provided no refs. Those are required. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:08, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
You added "Its use has increased since Darvocet was withdrawn from the market and all medications containing hydrocodone were moved from Schedule III to Schedule II in late 2014" and the ref was from 2004 thus does not support this. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:12, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry, my mistake. After my last edit in which I added the references, I think I must have clicked cancel instead of save page. Is there any way you can put back the portion of the edit that contains the info on serotonin syndrome? I will cite the references within the next 24 hours if so. I have to go back and locate the articles again. It would just help me out a bit. Thanks for your help! Dfdemt (talk) 04:16, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
- Here is the bit "Because Tramadol inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, caution is advised when using it for pain relief in patients already taking antidepressants of the SSRI and SNRI class, because the combined effects can cause serotonin syndrome." re add when you have a good ref.

Pelvic inflammatory disease references
[edit]I'm trying to understand the constructive edit that you made to the article. I believe that your intent was to remove a reference that probably is not needed, am I correct? I understand why it's not controversial, but what I'm wondering is this: are two references are better than one? If one becomes unavailable or is unavailable to someone, is it not better to have a second reference that supports the same statement? Also, I know I am not completely familiar with the discussion that is ongoing concerning the reliability of medical sources. But not are not some of the online web resources considered at least adequate for a layperson? I understand the idea that a medical journal is a better reference than an article from Mayo Clinic. But that doesn't disqualify the article from Mayo Clinic, does it? I don't want to waste your time, and I don't want to waste my time trying to find good references in support of the pelvic inflammatory disease article and I don't want to have to waste your time having you go back and take out all the references that I have found. Is it perhaps better to put the references that I found in side of no wiki tags? Similar to what you did in the lead? It seems to me, and of course I could be wrong because I'm just acting as a copy editor, that the article I relies heavily upon the one source. Am I understand this correctly?
Also, in light of my past editing history, would you be willing to give me helpful suggestions so that I will be able to recognize the potential of making a "controversal" edit and hesitate to do so without consensus?
- Thanks for the answer, so what you are saying is: if the review of the journal article appears somewhere else, the 'somewhere else' is a better reference?

Your edit at Talk:Electronic cigarette
[edit]I know you're a bit too experienced for user warning templates but it says it better than I can.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Electronic cigarette, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. SPACKlick (talk) 11:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

MST
[edit]Doc James,
Below is the email i sent to your gmail account, asking you to please refrain from editing the MST page. Here is the email. We do not want to engage in a editing war, however, it is clear you plan to keep imposing your view and only your view on this intervention that is supported by credible independent sources like Blueprints for Health Children.
I want to start a formal mediation process so that this can be resolved. Below is the email I sent you, to which you did not respond. You leave no choice but to get third parties involved. I would really like to understand your agenda.
lori cohenNehocirol (talk) 23:10, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for response. I think on some issues we have a genuine difference of perspective and are going to need to agree to disagree. This takes me to my next request. We are very concerned about the way you have chosen to restructure the page. Anyone who comes to it and begins reading might infer that MST doesn’t work. That may be your opinion but that is certainly not a widely held view. The references at the bottom of the page list a number of credible sources that disagree with this view.
We are requesting that you stop editing the page from the original layout that was posted years ago, putting effectiveness at the bottom of the page.
We have looked at many other pages—psychotherapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotherapy), Rational Emotive Therapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_emotive_behavior_therapy), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy, to name but a few. We even checked every intervention listed in the 128-page United Nations’ Compilation of Evidence-Based Family Skills Training Programmes. None of those with Wiki pages had effectiveness and criticism/adverse effects at the top at the page as you are insisting on putting them.
As I’ve said before, we will leave in the material you inserted. However we feel your format shows an intention to put MST in a bad light. Though I applaud your dedication for policing Wikipedia for false medical information, your extreme caution in this case is unwarranted.
In the coming weeks we will change the structure of the page back to a format that is more typical for Wikipedia entries of this kind. We respectfully request that you not change these edits.

I dont intend to make a big deal out of this, I just was triggered by the lead sentence which reminded me of a book I read in high school. They discouraged using the word "when" after a noun. e.g. "Hypothermia is when...". I'm not such a great writer myself but I thought I'd give it a try. Do you think the current wording is the best possible wording? I actually googled for the text of the book to see what they replaced it with before I made the edit, but I couldn't find it. —Soap— 03:17, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi James, there's a bit of disagreement on this page about whether the eponym Wegener's granulomatosis should be used or (IMO and the opinion of mainstream medical/scientific organizations) the term granulomatosis with polyangiitis should be used given that it is more medically descriptive. The fact that it's also an eponym of a pathologist with Nazi ties is also another reason for moving away from this terminology. I've opened a discussion about it on the talk page since RichieZ seems determined to keep it in (he seems ready to edit war over it). His justification appears to be that because the literature on granulomatous mastitis is rather sparse (true, only a few PubMed reviews in the last decade) and uses the term WG (because the literature is older), that we should continue to use that term. I do not agree with this reasoning since I think we should examine the literature as a whole (i.e., if GM literature preferred WG as the term but the rest of the literature did not, surely we would not use WG over GPA). It's true that I do see WG still used in the literature, but it's clear that it has fallen out of favor and been supplanted by GPA as the main term for this disease. There are even papers and reviews discussing this nomenclature controversy and explaining why we should move away from the old eponym. What are your thoughts on this? I'm considering opening it up to the Wikiproject Medicine talk page as well for additional community opinions. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 22:01, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- For your convenience, here is the link to the PubMed search for reviews with the search term Wegener's granulomatosis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=wegener's+granulomatosis You'll see that many papers use WG parenthetically but tend to feature GPA as the main term. Some reviews (a few of many available examples: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24790453 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24485158) even explicitly state that GPA was formerly known as WG. This is also an important article to take a look at (commentary not a review): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3095856/ One last article (probably the most important of all) is the International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference on the nomenclature of vasculitides. It states the following: "CHCC2012 adopted the recommendation of the American College of Rheumatology, the American Society of Nephrology, and the European League Against Rheumatism to replace “Wegener's granulomatosis” with “granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's)” (8–10)." Here is the article for your review: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.37715/full TylerDurden8823 (talk) 22:21, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

- Well, he/she now disclose that he/she are a paid editor on their user page. I believe that is what is required for paid editing. Liz Read! Talk! 13:40, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Use of Wikipedia Photos for the 68W Combat Medic Textbook
[edit]Dr. James, my name is Michael W. Davis. I am a curriculum writer for the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School at FT Sam Houston, TX. I am currently the photograph editor for a textbook we are producing for the 68W Combat Medic Handbook, which is a textbook being produced (non-profit) by the U.S. Army and published by the U.S. Army's Medical Department publishing department (The Borden Instutue). This publishing department works directly with the U.S. Army's Office of the Surgeon General. Dr. James you have released several photographs on wikipedia that display many types of medical conditions such as otitis media, strep pharyngitis, peritonsilar abcess etc.... The U.S. Army Medical Department would like to use your displayed photographs for the textbook being published. V/r. (unsigned edit by 139.232.139.46, 09:41, March 23, 2015)
