Issues to be mediated

[edit]
Primary issues (added by the filing party)
  1. What is the current medical consensus concerning amphetamine's neurotoxicity?

I have very little time currently, as it's finals season at college. I'll be on break in a couple weeks.

Additional issues (added by other parties)
  • MEDRS is required for a statement on neurotoxicity, as it is a medical claim (in particular, WP:MEDANIMAL (also - MEDMOS#Careful language bullet 8), WP:MEDDATE, WP:MEDPRI, and WP:MEDSCI must be satisfied).
  • Information in a drug article is about humans, unless contained in veterinary section (per PHARMMOS) or insufficient clinical data exist (approx. 80 years of clinical data exist, starting with Benzedrine).
  • The above two issues were added by Seppi333 (talk · contribs) and contain opinion/conflict (unlike mine, which was impartial), so I might as well add my own. The citations I added that contradicted their conclusion were MEDRS, but they decided that the only sources that are MEDRS are those that agree with them. Additionally, they insist on MEDRS outside of the scope MEDRS is intended for (when we're discussing speculation and opinions, non-MEDRS is okay).

Decision of the Mediation Committee

[edit]
  • @Seppi333: @AGK: @PhilKnight: I have absolutely no time to work on this right now (so little that I shouldn't even be posting this comment). The bad blood between us has indeed subsided. I may be adding more information to the neurotoxicity section sometime soon and if (god forbid) that kicks up more dust, I'll come back. I'm confident that we're at a mutual understanding now, though. Thanks. Exercisephys (talk) 20:51, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
