] from the past month (December 2024).
Thanks for reviewing my COPD edits. I appreciate it!
I noticed that you prefer the ncbi link removed from the references. These are put in automatically from the cite function. I can manually remove them after I have added a citation, unless you have any other suggestions. I usually use the cite function to add a new journal, and generate it using the PMID. I have tried the DOI, but it adds the journal's publisher.
Hope you are having a nice holiday!

Hi! For the last month or so, I've been working on the ] article, and I've noticed that you've been fixing up some of my work there. Thank you for that!

I've created a draft article on one of the classification systems commonly used in CP discussions these days at ]. I would really appreciate your ideas on this draft, because the articles on the ] and ] are so different in their presentation and content.

Hi Doc James, Thanks for your note on my page re the above. Sorry about that.

It makes me wonder, though, whether perhaps this article might be better as two separate articles, one "toxoplasmosis in humans" and another "toxoplasmosis in non-human animals", as the current intro features not much overview of the non-human info.

Also, as the 'research' section applies exclusively to humans, it seems to me to make sense following the human info better, not following the non-human info.

Kind regards, --''']]''' 03:16, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
::As humans most of our readers care more about the human related information and thus the layout per ]. Most human diseases can also occur in animals and we do have a collected of articles called "X in other animals". This is more for vet med related stuff rather they research on other animals to develop treatment and learn more about the disease in humans. Or for disease cycles in which humans are a part which we place under causes. ] (] · ] · ]) 03:20, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

== Reliable sources ==

Doc, in reply to the message you left on my Talk page - I have ten years' experience editing Misplaced Pages and do not need patronizing "tips" on what consitutes a reliable source. The tone and content of your note imply that you view yourself as being entitled to dispense advice and corrections from on high. The point of contention here (i.e. the ] article, and in particular the section on famous people who died of syphilis) involves historical facts for which 21st century scientific criteria of verifiability are not available. The judgment of competent biographers and historians in this case is just as reliable as peer-reviewed academic journals, if not more so. I think you need to do a bit of extra reading yourself: perhaps you could start with a lesson in epistemology, Thomas Kuhn's ''Structure of Scientific Revolutions'' for instance, or Foucault's ''Birth of the Clinic''. You could supplement that with some background reading on ] and ]. And then maybe cap the whole thing with a re-read of Misplaced Pages's policies on ] of articles. -] (]) 11:43, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Dear Doc James, I see we have an article on each of these topics, butI don't think they were linked to one another until just now, when I made each one into a ].

Happy New Year! I'm repeating here the reply below to your brief request for citation on the Down Syndrome page.

Sorry, I thought I included an auto-reference to the original hard cover edition of The Panda's Thumb: 978-0393013801

The full citation should wind up reading: 1941-2002., Gould, Stephen Jay, (1980-01-01). The Panda's Thumb : More Reflections in Natural History. Norton. pp. 167–68. ISBN 9780393013801. OCLC 781219337.

Sorry if my Wiki skills weren't up to posting that correctly. If you don't have a copy of the book handy to check my citation, you should be able to see it in full text on Google Books here, where it allows to expand out from snippet view.


The point citation is to page 167-168, where Gould writes in 1980 that the term "Mongoloid" is still in common use in the United States and, after some equivocation, coming down in favor of replacing the term with "Down's Syndrome". The text you restored says the older terminology was abandoned in the early 1970's, and I believe this citation forms a valid basis for my revision, which I urge you to restore.

Kindly also restore the references to Dr. Cookshank. The text you restored does what I consider to be a serious disservice to Dr. Down, by attributing to Down the racism that was only injected into Down's terminology 70 years later by Dr. Crookshank.

::Okay thanks ] will look further when I wake up. No disservice was meant to Dr. Down. ] (] · ] · ]) 15:44, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:::By the way we say "it is now considered unacceptable and is no longer in common use" ] (] · ] · ]) 15:51, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

What ref supported "Down was aware that they were not "real Mongols", and indeed inferred "the unity of the human species" from his observation that a disease process could result in the children of Caucasian parents presenting with facial features similar to those of another race. "

Per this text "In 1921 ] proposed that Down syndrome resulted from mixture of "Mongol blood" with European in the wake of the Mongol invasions, a false claim repeated for many decades." why are we using a 1924 book review?

What ref supported "This manifestation of ] was not thoroughly discredited until the trisomy 21 discovery in 1959 discussed above."
