Hi Doc James,

I 've heard you might be able to visit the ] meeting in Vienna. Somebody (]?) reserved some time for a wikipedian pre-colloquium . We've skyped with FloNight about this recently, and several people would like to attend, but we need some details. Are you, or ia FloNight planning to give a speech, a workshop, or anything else?

{{userlinks|FILWISE}} has edited a number of medical articles without adding sources. I see you warned FILWISE in more than a few times. Some of the added info seems rather dubious. Such as "runny nose" being a symptom of . I don't see runny nose in the source. I have looked at a number of FILWISE's edits and have yet to find one where a source is added. The edits are quite wide-ranging and I would be quite surprised if FILWISE is that competent in all those areas.

Sorry to make all this noise, but there is a technical problem of some kind at ]. I thought I might be able to fix it, but the html is above my pay grade. The issue is that ] is putting a heading and logo at the top, but that is obscuring the navigation links—when logged on in Firefox, the edit and history buttons are hidden, and when not logged on, other bad things happen. That's probably due to "margin-top: -120px" but someone at ] should be asked to fix it. It seems to work in Internet Explorer. It's trivia but it should be fixed. If wanted, I'll ask at WP:VPT. ] (]) 00:47, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

:::Ouch, what a kludge! Yes, it works, but if you think many people are going to see a page using that template, it would be better to ask someone at WP:VPT to fix it. At the moment, a logged on Firefox user with the Monobook skin sees the logo overlap the "Progress (short)" tab so the final "ort)" is not visible. If not logged on, or if using the Vector skin, the logo is above the tab boxes and so is ok. In both cases, there are three large blank lines at the top. This is all trivia, and I guess your users won't have Monobook, so an optimum solution may not be worth the bother. ] (]) 03:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

</div>
Can you please just link it to the article about suicidal ideation without trying to rephrase it? Suicidal ideation is not the same as suicidal or thinking too much about suicide. Suicidal thoughts = considering suicide. Suicidal ideation = not necessarily suicidal, but preoccupied with suicide and especially suicide scenarios. Thus the "ideation." We don't need to dumb this down, anyone reading the article about olanzapine should be capable of knowing what suicidal ideation is or can click on the link to read more. Otherwise it needs to be clear that the side effect is not feeling suicidal or suicidal thoughts (if you're a doctor you should know that "Have you had suicidal thoughts?" is a key question.) ]<sup>]</sup> 😜 21:43, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Doc! Why'd you make that change at ]? The narrative no longer flows or makes sense ... is there a MEDMOS change I should know about ? I will now need to restructure all of the text to recover a narrative that makes sense. To talk about TS, you have to first understand what a tic is, and to understand TS, you have to position it on the spectrum of tic disorders, which also requires first a basic definition of a tic.
