Talk:PANDAS
BeccaW1986, I want to be sure you have seen the Misplaced Pages policy and guideline pages you have been pointed to repeatedly at Talk:PANDAS, and this post, as your talk page contributions are veering towards disruption.
- WP:NOTAFORUM; some opinion is at times necessary to explain points, but the purpose of talk pages is to improve articles, not to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS.
- WP:MEDRS is Misplaced Pages's guideline page about how we use sources for medical content. To my knowledge, almost all of your posts -- including this lengthy list -- focus on primary sources, while you have seen on talk the discussions experienced editors have had about secondary reviews.
- WP:ADVOCACY will help you understand the characteristics of editors who seek to advocate for a given position in contrast to edits which seek to reflect the consensus of secondary reviews.
- WP:COI is a page that explains how to handle a conflict of interest when editing Misplaced Pages; if you are engaged in PANDAS advocacy in real life or elsewhere on the internet, it has some good pointers.
- Specific proposals for content changes will get more traction than general rants on talk pages; for example, please change "The sky is pink" to "While the sky can be described as pink during some sunsets, it is often described as blue" .
Plenty of editors are working towards improving this difficult topic and concerned the families get accurate information towards optimal treatment. If you have behavioral concerns, they belong on user talk; article talk is for discussion of how to improve articles using reliable sources -- in the case of biomedical content, meaning WP:MEDRS-compliant sources. Please read the linked pages thoroughly. Hope this helps, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
