== A g.o.a.t. for you! ==
{{ul|Scott Martin}}, it used to be the case that whenever a rash of new accounts showed up on a medical condition, one could easily find the message board support group forum where the recruiting occurred. Now, with so many Misplaced Pages hits, mentions and mirrors, it's much harder to find them. (In fact, how did you find that, {{ul|Anthonyhcole}}?) <p>Scott, I'm off for the day, won't be able to get any work done on the CH article today, but you might want to mine the search engine at the cluster(nospace)headaches(nospace).com message board forum for hits on Misplaced Pages (can't link you there-- it's blacklisted, no surprise, tons of hits to Misplaced Pages, most likely not good) for more examples of misinfo on Misplaced Pages or of how dangerous Misplaced Pages can be. CH is precisely the kind of article where, yea, people take our content seriously and make life-altering decisions based on it, and the kind of topic that flies under the radar of most editors, but certainly not of people suffering in pain. With such acute pain, there is the same kind of desperation one saw in autism parents who firmly believed vaccines had caused their child's autism, or PANDAS had caused their child's tics, and would resort to things like chelation therapy, which killed children. ] (]) 14:05, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

: Um, I was busy IRL for only a day-and-a-half, but that was enough to really fall behind; I need time to catch up, but we still have a problem with the whole ] situation. I owe {{ul|Sasata}} a response, but am still working through the sources and finding how many other articles we have that reflect this problem. It is beyond just ] (those folks did us a favor by bringing this to our attention), and I'm not sure where to coordinate the discussion (it's an issue of MEDRS v UNDUE, because we have studies of ... ''seriously'' ... nine patients, not reflected in any broad overviews of the condition, or ''interviews'' conducted with no kind of control getting brief mention in secondary reviews in the psychedelic literature but not in broader reviews about the conditions -- and we have similar in several articles). <p>I will need most of today to catch up with all of you here, but I am reminded of the situation where a class wanted to insert evolutionary considerations in numerous articles about conditions based on specific low-impact evolutionary reviews, when those theories had gained no traction in the broader literature about those conditions. In those cases, {{ul|Jfdwolff}} was able to provide information about the dubious quality of the low-impact journals, and demonstrate that the theories had gained no traction outside of those narrow reviews ... so, we are going to need to look at all the places where we are claiming psilocybin has effect on X condition, based on very weak secondary reviews, small studies, low-impact journals, etc. MEDRS does not tell us we ''must'' include something that may be UNDUE just because it's in a secondary review-- MEDRS tells us to access the quality of the evidence. I'm still looking for one overview of OCD that mentions psilocybin treatment (haven't found it), and as far as I can tell, the significance of those psilo studies (even on cluster headache) is not whether the treatment is effective (we just don't have the evidence to be saying that), but what the response to psilocybin can reveal about underlying causes. I guess, considering this info is in several articles, the discussion may need to be coordinated at WT:MED, but I want to finish reading the sources. <p>{{ul|Alexbrn}}, is ] dealt with? {{ul|Kevin Gorman}}, long time no see! <p>{{ul|Jmh649}}, I see you dealt with ], but the problem is also at ], based on the reviews I've read so far, I think even the mention of psilo we now have at ] may be undue, also at ], ], ], and ]. I haven't gotten close to finding all occurrences yet-- would appreciate help. <p> Separately to {{ul|Sasata}}, I owe you an apology-- a sincere one :) I will catch up over there once I've read all the sources, but one of the reviews is not flagged in PubMed as a review; that sometimes happens, but I failed to pick it up this time. When I saw so much text cited to something that I didn't recognize as a review, plus old reviews, plus a primary source, combined with "vetted at FAC", my "nothing is ever vetted at FAC" adequately lately red flags went off. For many years, "vetted at FAC", has meant that if we're lucky, three or four editors looked at the article, and not necessarily the issues raised. I apologize for being ridiculously over-snippy with you about promising a FAR because I thought you had used primary sources-- I still believe we have an UNDUE problem, but we don't have a FAR issue-- we have a content dispute in an area over which reasonable people can disagree, and I have every expectation that we'll sort through it and consensus will emerge. Of course, the concern surfaced because we saw how this information is being used on a support group message board, and the sources I've read so far are very clear that they are talking about psilo administration in a very controlled environment-- our text isn't conveying that, and we have internet folk doing what worries us most-- using Misplaced Pages as a source for treatment decisions.<p> My sincere apologies, {{ul|Sasata}} for a very poor attitude towards one of our best contributors.

::Apology accepted. Sandy. I was a bit miffed with your MEDRS tagging, as I've worked hard on the article to bring it into (and keep it in) good shape. I thought after the GA review by Looie496, the rigorous peer review, feedback from WP:MED members specifically about MEDRS issues before FAC, and finally the FAC grilling by you (a good grilling, I'm not complaining!), that the article was MEDRS complaint.

And thank you for the gracious acceptance of my apology. ] (]) 17:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


== A cup of tea for you! ==
:{{ul|Sasata}}, I apologize for multiple, conflicting responses (this is why I need to catch up :) I've now looked carefully at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3181958/ and it confirms my concern. There was a study of ''nine patients''. We've heard nothing of this in serious OCD reviews. The source you list has one sentence about it, and that sentence says ... pretty much nothing. Compare that to the rest of what the source discusses, and you may see my concern that we are giving this UNDUE attention, even if mentioned in secondary reviews. I have as yet found nothing from a serious OCD review that looks at this study, and reporting a treatment option based on ''nine patients'' gives me serious pause. In some of the literature, it is specifically pointed out that these reactions may give us clue to etiology, but we're using the sources in ways that are causing people to experiment with psilo for treatment-- the source you listed does not ease my concern-- it increases it, since the review pointedly has nothing to review ... it is one sentence. ] (]) 17:53, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
:*One has to understand the context behind the study... "The first clinical study of psilocybin approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1970". I imagine they were lucky to get n=9 approved for what has been such a controversial drug. I agree that mentioning psilocybin in the OCD article would be undue, but it is not undue in the psilocybin article (indeed, if the study were not mentioned, that would be a failing of WIAFA 1b "it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context". I'm not sure why the 2010 Kellner review is not a "serious OCD review"; is there a helpfile to help me determine whether a secondary source is "serious" or not? Regarding "and reporting a treatment option" we are ''not'' reporting a treatment option, we are summarizing the results of study, and I think the article makes that clear. ] (]) 18:26, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
::* Yes, that's the direction I'm heading (that is, what we might say at ] is different than what we might say at ], ], ], ], and then ], ] and ]. I'm concerned that we don't have good evidence/reviews to be saying anything in the individual conditions that is not UNDUE, and even at psilocybin, I'm worried that there are some things in the sources that we aren't making clear. But let me catch up and summarize before I continue wasting your time ... I got distracted by a refrigerator repairperson, and have made no progress since my last post. <p>Oh, by serious review, I mean that review doesn't actually "review" that nine-patient study-- it only mentions it in passing, in one sentence, and makes no attempt to even analyze the strengths, weaknesses, methodology-- anything we would normally see in a good review. Although it isn't really appropriate for us to "original research" the primary study, I haven't yet read the primary study and don't even yet know what measure of symptom severity they used ... I'm pretty well familiar with OCD research because of the overlap with ], I've never seen mention of psilo in OCD reviews, and I'm wondering (in the absence of a review that discusses the methodology) what the methodology was ... it would be optimal if we could find a review that actually reviews the psilo work.

Hi. I just want to let you know that in this article – ] – I've spent a lot of effort. I mainly used the ′Lennard′ source, but I used some other sources from Google Books as well. I typed ′Intecostal nerve block′ in Google Books search and than I read some of the books' content and interpreted in the article with mentioning the source used in referenced. I had known the original books' pages, but I forgot to insert them. As for many sections I've used one book or other online source, I didn't want to get the articles' section overcrowded with only single reference so I avoided repeating the same references in some places. I have never inserted plagiarisms or close-parapharasings in any Misplaced Pages article, and those accusations bother me. I was originally planning to add 30% more content, improve the article to meet the GA criteria, and propose it, but your tagging the article with various templates majorly demoralised me for doing so. However, do you have any suggestions of how can I still improve the sourcing and content so the GA criteria is met? I mainly agree some that some books openly advocate this specific procedure, and I think that is the point of your referral of them as primary sources? Furthermore, I am open to remove or change the assertions based on MedCentral and some other clinics' citations. Also, can you tell me why is wrong using “” over "" as a quotation marks?

== A barnstar for you! ==
: {{ul|Aleksa Lukic}}, your final question seems to refer to the use of curly quotes over straight quotes (see ]. Since curly quotes are not generated by Wiki software, they are sometimes a tipoff to copyvio; the reason I mentioned that a close paraphrasing check is needed on the DYK is that the "voice" changes in the article, there are no page numbers supplied for verification, and the language in the article is at odds with your writing style. At any rate, a copyvio check is routinely requested at DYK. <p> As to getting the article to GA standard, a first step in the right direction would be adding page numbers on the book sources and removing the non-MEDRS sources. ] (]) 17:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

SandyGeorgia, I recalled your offer regarding Spanish sources, and was hoping you would have time to look at the DYK nomination for ], or rather the translation of the two Spanish language sources, FN2 and FN6, for the article. It seems to me that the article text is making claims that the sources do not support, at least in the case of FN6—does it really support the statement that there were reports of the team withdrawing for the 1939–40 season? I've already had the creator tone down the FN2 claims (the article had said that players left Prince of Wales to form Jubilee), but I'm not sure that what's left doesn't overreach still.


The article has other issues, which I can handle since the sources are in English, but these I can't with surety, lacking sufficient knowledge of the language. (Google translate, and even looking up individual words in online Spanish–English dictionaries, can only get you so far.) Thanks for any help you can give. ] (]) 03:32, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

SEMI-RETIRED

My will to participate in Misplaced Pages has waned due to the harassment it brings, both on and off Misplaced Pages, with real consequences to living persons and their families. I am following only those articles I have contributed to extensively, and issues or content areas where bullies predominate. I receive pings by email only; I may continue to occasionally check my watchlist and email, but please don't count on me to regularly respond to queries or to keep up with the work I once did. This user is no longer very active on Misplaced Pages.

In appreciation

The Helping Hand Barnstar
Hi Sandy! I was assigned to the AD article a long while ago with some peers in my class and have been keeping tabs on the article since then. Similar to the previous barnstar (above), I'm honestly a huge fan of your work - you were super helpful back when I was learning the ropes of Misplaced Pages editing and I wanted to come back and say THANK YOU for all that. I hope all is well and that you know all your efforts are appreciated and remembered :) Bharatss-SB (talk) 20:37, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Request for input

Sandy, I know you're quite busy, but I was wondering if you could spare the time sometime to look over Talk:Landis's Missouri Battery#Revamping. I either slipped a substandard article through FAC in 2020, or my perfectionism is flaring up again. Or maybe a mix of the two. Hog Farm Talk 03:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diligence
Went through some of the J. K. Rowling archived discussions from the past few months, out of curiosity. Your diligence in trying to clean up the article, your tireless attempts to keep a civil environment all-around, and most of all your continued efforts to remain impartial and mindful of proper policies and guidelines, impressed me, regardless of whether I agreed or not with your suggested changes. Thanks for your work. LaughingManiac (talk) 23:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

The sentence is convoluted, not sure why the slash between the two ranges, not sure "politically" is needed, the border clause is hard to understand, and there's a wayward period between the and the . Also I'd completely re-organize the fist three sentences in the lead (the reader has to click out to know that Juriques is another volcano, so I'd join the "it is part of" sentence to the first sentence, and move the "south of the" clause elsewhere.
