Hi, I noticed you on the MSG talk page. I'm working to improve NPOV and welcome your input. Alrich44 (talk) 18:35, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- I will look over the stuff you are adding. Thanks. Dbrodbeck (talk) 19:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Autism
Hi,
I'm asking you about this new autism "key" because I don't know who else to ask. Project Autism has come up with this "key" which I fear is a way for the project to piggyback unseen on to the Psychology Project.
]
Since I don't fully understand how this "key" thing works, I'm asking your opinion.
Thanks, Parabolooidal (talk) 02:08, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Not sure what you mean by "key", but that just looks like a "Category:WikiProject Psychology" link renamed to appear as "Autism". I didn't even know you could do that, and am curious how putting "|Autism" in the category tag makes it appear different in any way. Where is that being discussed or used?

- OK I see you asked here... Parabolooidal be careful you're not over-reacting, let's see the explanation first.
Zad6802:41, 14 August 2014 (UTC)- If I understand this correctly, the autism tag would sort of piggy back on the psychology tag? Cuz, if it is that, I don't think it is a good idea. Dbrodbeck (talk) 03:01, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- I'd think Autism as a topic would find a better fit in psychiatry rather than psychology, and WP:PSYCHIATRY is already under WP:MED. Not even sure really... need to see the response first. It's unclear whether WikiProject Autism is really going to stand up and walk on its own legs anyway.
Zad6803:06, 14 August 2014 (UTC)- The editor who invented the "key" has decided to remove it. What it did was create an encapsulated category within the Psychology project category in which all the articles tagged with the Autism project were placed. Thus the WikiProject Autism became a subsection of WikiProject Psychology.
- The problem, from my view, is that the articles tagged by the Autism project are really a mixed bag of articles, mostly articles already tagged by other projects. Some are just articles about specific medications, or specific diagnoses, or types of therapy, or Autism advocacy articles, or BLP's of people who may be seen as doing something "Autism-related", like Rimbaud, or people who have been diagnosed with autism, or people who have been speculated to be autistic, as in Retrospective diagnoses of autism, or jpeg's deemed related to the Project Autism, or articles about subjects like Bullying, and more. See Category:WikiProject Autism articles for an idea of the range of the articles, images, even redirects that have already been tagged, many of which I think the Project Psychology would disown, IMO. If you think I was wrong, over-reacting etc., please speak up! The "key" can easily be replaced. Parabolooidal (talk) 22:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- I am pretty sure you are on the right track. No worries from me. Dbrodbeck (talk) 23:54, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I think I somewhat misunderstood and over-reacted as you suggest. Apparently the Autism project was already in the Psychology's project category, per an edit on 23 July 2014. See history page of it. At the bottom of the category you can see that it's also in the Neuroscience project (as well as a couple of others that don't bother me). Oh well, I personally don't think the project will survive because as somewhere someone said about the project, it's survival really depends on gathering enough editors willing to work on it and keep it going. I don't understand what the goal of the project is. It seems like a mixture of advocacy and "supposed" science, and I'm not sure project members understand about WP:MEDRS or even WP:RS.
