Clinical and medical topics

  • Talk:Edward Smith (psychologist) - If a person has made large and verifiable contributions to science and society, but they have uncertain identity, and have not necessarily gone through the official educational system, and have not been published in any major scientific journal, then should they be mentioned in wikipedia, or should knowledge of the existence and contributions of such subtle-but-important people be suppressed?

  • Talk:Thimerosal - Request for comments with regard to a variety of vaccine and autism related pages as to the appropriate content of the See also section. Multiple pages are involved - the disagreement centers on inclusion of a large number of links from one POV which often have little apparent bearing on the article at hand. 04:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk:Chi Machine - A device that "oxygenates" the body and supposedly heals a lot of things. Originally presented as fact. Claims and references were added, but the original editor keeps reverting them. 13:42, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Condom - a user has repeatedly added information claiming that talc on condoms was linked to cancer, that condoms had known carcinogen benzene in them, that pores in condoms were larger than the "so-called HIV", etc.08:08, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Zombie - request for comments, a user believes "there is a realistic zombie threat that might happen". 18:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Natasha Demkina - — POV conflict between two editors, one of which appears to be a primary source on the topic. A second editor who appears to have a passive involvement in the topic has altered the content to denigrate the research and the researchers, as well as the credentials and validity of the primary source. I'm not familiar with the research or the participants, and hoping someone with more familiarity can shed some insight. 17:53, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:MMR vaccine - Should the external webpage whale.to be included on this and other vaccine-related pages? Prior discussion about the topic and summary included on this talk page. 19:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:Penis - Discussion is ongoing about whether to remove one of the images of the glans penis from the page. One editor keeps removing it for what are clearly censorship/prurience issues. Other editors are responding — understandably — by restoring the picture because Misplaced Pages is not censored for the protection of minors. A third opinion is that the picture itself is inappropriate not because of a desire to censor, but because it is a poor photo, there are already other photos on the page that do a better job of illustrating the glans, and the number of photos on the page is making the layout of the page ugly. 15:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Talk:E. Fuller Torrey — edit conflict between two people, one of whom is aligned with an anti-psychiatry advocacy group, over how to adequately portray Torrey and his work in psychiatry. Neutral eyes needed. 03:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • præpuce —A dispute exists at præpuce about whether the præpuce helps protect the protective properties against heat cold, mechanical, et cetera, to such structures as the glans, meatus, frænulum, its own inner smooth and ridge mucosa, et cetera. One side claims it does, while the other side claims that the præpuce is devoid of function. The discussion on the talkpage can be found here: Præpuce . This topic was entered into the RFC November 5, 2005
