Dear doc James, the paywall of peer reviewed literature is not the only way to find the truth. Opinions in by neuroimmunologists on venous pathology and therapy reflect violation of the basic academic principal that one's opinion is only worth listening to when it is restricted to your own area of expertise. my statements tell a more accurate story and are supported by the references that are there. ~LaFemmeMSketteer~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaFemmeMSketeer (talk • contribs) 04:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Circumcision shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. // Liftarn (talk) 08:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
So you first attempt to add a tag with no claim. Than here claim that "newer sources says otherwise" without providing said sources. You then restore it a third time and finally provide the source in question and it is from 2011 making it older than all the sources supporting the current content . Finally you come here after I warned you for edit warring. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:17, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Could you please guide on the how to work around this? I see a lot of pages on branded drugs/medicines/etc that are have not been directed to the generic brand name page. They are standalone product pages. Some examples are Tylenol, Benadryl, Saridon, etc.
Mintop Solution is actually a very well known topical hair fall solution in India and the only one of its kind. No other topical hair fall solution in India uses the same Minoxidil concentration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NupurPathak (talk • contribs) 11:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Doc James,
I don't think it's fair to block this page, especially since several other branded pages exist, and have been around for a long time even though they have obvious deviations from Wiki guidelines, and have promotional content. I would like to open this discussion to a wider forum to sort this matter out.
Nupur, please respond to the COI issues I have raised on your Talk page. I suggest you resolve those before doing anything else. If you are being paid to edit and you are violating the Terms of Use by not disclosing that fact and acting accordingly - and it appears to me that you are - you will be banned from Misplaced Pages. Paid editing is allowed in WP, but paid editors must follow the rules governing that activity, Jytdog (talk) 13:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jytdog,
I have no issues adding the COI footnote. Though this is not a paid article/edit, I am willing to adhere to those guidelines and make whatever declaration needed. However, as I told Doc James, I am very new to Wiki (this article was my first) and need time to figure out how to do the HTML bit.
Please make the disclosures, then. Your User page would be the most appropriate place to make the initial one. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 14:54, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello Doc James. I just wanted to say thanks for that great article you wrote here "I Misplaced Pages for sale". I agree it is a problem. Also, I first saw your name on here from the circumcision page, where I admit I got emotional and wanted to edit it without reliable sources, but you pointed out Misplaced Pages is not the place for that, after I sat and cooled down I realized you are correct! Popish Plot (talk) 21:25, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
With respect to paid editing we need to form a group of editors that pressure this online forums to enforce their terms of service (ie no allowing jobs that break other websites terms of use) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:04, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Doc James! I see that you and I are crossing paths copyediting Ovarian cancer, and I just wanted to leave you a note about what I'm doing. Keilana asked me to give the article a thorough copyedit, but I am in no way a medical expert, so while I can polish the language, I may occasionally end up changing a phrasing that actually has medical meaning. If you'd rather I leave copyediting to you so you don't have to do cleanup duty, just let me know; otherwise please don't hesitate to check over my copyedits from a medical perspective so we can make sure both language and content are as good as possible. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 15:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
No worries. I just try to keep the lead using really simply language. Not so concerned about language complexity in the body of the article. Thanks for the note :-) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Your removal of articles on the Autism rights movement & See also sections on Autism related articles
The notion of Autism as a medical condition is controversial. This is contested by the Autism rights movement, which is a movement (headed by people in the Autistic spectrum) that fights for the perception/definition of Autism as a normal variation within human neurodiversity.
Your removal of content related to the Autism rights movement and Autistic culture on articles dealing with Autism prevents access to essential information on Autism.
The rainbow-colored infinity symbol represents the diversity of the autism spectrum as well as the greater neurodiversity movement.
The autism rights movement (ARM) is a social movement within the neurodiversity movement that encourages autistic people, their caregivers and society to adopt a position of neurodiversity, accepting autism as a variation in functioning rather than a mental disorder to be cured. The ARM advocates a variety of goals including a greater acceptance of autistic behaviors; therapies that teach autistic individuals coping skills rather than therapies focused on imitating behaviors of neurotypical peers; the creation of social networks and events that allow autistic people to socialize on their own terms; and the recognition of the autistic community as a minority group.
Autism rights or neurodiversity advocates believe that the autism spectrum is genetic and should be accepted as a natural expression of the human genome. This perspective is distinct from two other likewise distinct views: (1) the mainstream perspective that autism is caused by a genetic defect and should be addressed by targeting the autism gene(s) and (2) the perspective that autism is caused by environmental factors like vaccines and pollution and could be cured by addressing environmental causes.
The movement is controversial. A common criticism leveled against autistic activists is that the majority of them are high-functioning or have Asperger syndrome and do not represent the views of all autistic people.

Not sure about the title of this article. It seems like it would be on 'why spiders bite certain people' or 'why people get bit by spiders' or something similar. As it is, I'm not entirely sure what what the article is about. Deunanknute (talk) 05:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
What about something more along the lines of "Spiders that bite", or "List of biting spiders"? Those still aren't good titles, but they're more clear. Deunanknute (talk) 06:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
Actually any spider that has large enough fangs can bite a human, however the vast majority are not significantly toxic to humans. A better title would be "Medically significant spider bites" - this phrase is quite common in Arachnology literature. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:29, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
We’d like to invite you to participate in a study that aims to explore how WikiProject members coordinate activities of distributed group members to complete project goals. We are specifically seeking to talk to people who have been active in at least one WikiProject in their time in Misplaced Pages. Compensation will be provided to each participant in the form of a $10 Amazon gift card.
The purpose of this study is to better understanding the coordination practices of Wikipedians active within WikiProjects, and to explore the potential for tool-mediated coordination to improve those practices. Interviews will be semi-structured, and should last between 45-60 minutes. If you decide to participate, we will schedule an appointment for the online chat session. During the appointment you will be asked some basic questions about your experience interacting in WikiProjects, how that process has worked for you in the past and what ideas you might have to improve the future.
You must be over 18 years old, speak English, and you must currently be or have been at one time an active member of a WikiProject. The interview can be conducted over an audio chatting channel such as Skype or Google Hangouts, or via an instant messaging client. If you have questions about the research or are interested in participating, please contact Michael Gilbert at (206) 354-3741 or by email at mdg@uw.edu.
We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information sent by email.
I noticed you reverted my edit to Circumcision. However I think the phrase "Evidence supports that...", as it is in the article now, is grammatically incorrect because it doesn't say what the evidence is supporting. Given that you don't want it described as a "view", perhaps starting the sentence with "Evidence supports the use of male circumcision to reduce the risk..." ? Everymorningtalk00:41, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
I do not see anything wrong grammatically with "Evidence supports that male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection among heterosexual men in sub-Saharan Africa"?
Only medical circumcision in some studies reduces the HIV risk there in South Africa. . Other circumcisions in the same area have caused hundreds of deaths and half a million hospitalizations in the last 5 years as well as an increase in HIV. Why is it Doc James that you refuse to countenance mention of this within the article ?--— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht /Stalk01:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
As you both are well aware I have already done so. The references not the tears that is. Do either of you have a POV or cultural conflict of interest that should be declared on this subject ?Your severe pruning of the Foreskin article article DocJames has been noted. @Seppi - I am unsure what purpose your sarcasm is supposed to serve but it is certainly not a WP one. Are you attempting to infer that the deaths of Africans are a matter for mockery rather than inclusion ? --— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht /Stalk03:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
And exactly what conflict needs declaring? You did not feel this was sufficient "Note: I am entirely a volunteer here. I do not accept money or honorariums for any efforts related to wikis, Misplaced Pages or the Internet. I do accept travel costs for speaking events by organizations that can afford them. I do not and have never accepted pharmaceutical funding. I do not have any financial COI with respect to the subjects I edit." Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:41, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I have had my one trip to the NIH covered by the US government and have had one trip to UCSF covered by UCSF. Other trips to UCSF I have paid for myself. The last Cochrane conference I went to I paid for my own travel to India and accommodations. They did give me free entry to the conference. My trip to the World Health Organization I paid for myself. Most of the time I pay for my own travel and accommodations. I even sometimes pay for others accommodations. Misplaced Pages is a fairly expensive hobby.

Breastfeeding and relactation
Doc James,
Really? I thought we kind of had a working relationship. You may not have intended to jump levels by banning me for 24 hours, but it sure feels that way. One of the times you said I hadn't paraphrased sufficiently, I actually had. I had paraphrased a Bangladeshi guide to malnutrition, and you thought it was too similar to a WHO guide. It may have been. But when standard health advice is rendered in plain language, the results may often be quite similar.
And this time, I did make a mistake. I was pressed for time and working too quickly. At the very least I should have used quotation marks for the material from the WHO guide. Better yet, distill it down in pithy fashion.
And actually, you may not want to chase me off entirely. You and I seem to be among the few people primarily interested in the accuracy of health articles, and not just the formality of the writing itself.
PS And remember when I told you about a WHO guide recommending rehydrating a malnourished child relatively slowly, and that little bit enabled you to look up the very similar concept of refeeding syndrome? Cool Nerd (talk) 19:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
You must paraphrase User:Cool Nerd. This is not negotiable. It say every times you hit the edit button that "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." Using quotes is often not sufficient to make content acceptable. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I do paraphrase. Please don't view an earlier philosophic disagreement on our part as disobedience or something similar on my part. Cool Nerd (talk) 22:11, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
In this edit which is the edit that got you blocked you added
A WHO publication citing a 1992 source includes the following recommendations on helping a client to relactate (partial list):
• Make sure that she has enough to eat and drink.
• Encourage her to rest more, and to try to relax when she breastfeeds.
• Explain that she should keep her baby near her, give him plenty of skin-to-skin contact, and do as much as
possible for him herself. Grandmothers can help if they take over other responsibilities - but they should not
care for the baby at this time. Later they can do so again.
• Explain that the most important thing is to let her baby suckle more, at least 10 times in 24 hours, more if he is
willing:
- she can offer her breast every two hours;
- she should let him suckle whenever he seems interested;
- she should let him suckle longer than before at each breast;
- she should keep him with her and breastfeed at night;
- sometimes it is easiest to get a baby to suckle when he is sleepy.
• Show her how to give the other feeds from a cup, not from a bottle. She should not use a pacifier.
• If her baby refuses to suckle on an `empty' breast, help her to find a way to give the baby milk while he is
suckling. For example, with a dropper or a syringe.
• For the first day or two, she should give the full amount of artificial feed for a baby of his weight or the same
amount that he has been having before. As soon as her breastmilk begins to flow, she can start to reduce the
daily total by 30-60 ml each day.
• Check the baby's weight gain and urine output, to make sure that he is getting enough milk.
- if he is not getting enough, do not reduce the artificial feed for a few days;
- if necessary, increase the amount of artificial milk for a day or two. Some women can decrease the amount by
more than 30-60 ml each day.
Again, this is only a partial list. This publication also states: "If a baby has been breastfeeding sometimes, the breastmilk supply increases in a few days. If a baby has stopped breastfeeding, it may take 1-2 weeks or more before much breastmilk comes.""

Infobox disease
Hi James, with regards to Infobox disease, how do you propose we move forward. From your edit summary I make out that you reject the closure of the TfD. DRV seems the venue best suited for that. What do you think? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:07, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
To which discussion do you refer User:Martijn Hoekstra? It is very clear that there is no consensus to add these extra perameters
hm. hm. interesting. i appreciate that and respect your caution.
in my view, some among us have already started to treat the obligation to disclose paid editing like policy; i have seen one other admin indef for it that i can rememember and another upholdit (as I posted on the Arbcom request). I am curious how widespread that is. don't you admins all talk to one another on some secret batphone somewhere? :) Jytdog (talk) 02:51, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Undisclosed paid editing is a big issue but the question is how to deal with it. Most paid editors simply use one account per job (this case is the acception). Some CUs decline to run cases were the evidence is not based on Misplaced Pages diffs. Additionally if the person in question has already moved on to their next account what good is blocking all their previous socks unless you are going to use them to follow up and delete what they have done. I see three other potential approaches:
Higher standards for notability and deleting spam / advertising aggressively
Requesting the sites were the business is taking place to close the accounts involved. They have agreed to do this but often the individuals in question just create new accounts. Likely will need to meet with the companies and put in place better measures. Feel free to start reporting at Elance, Odesk and Fiverr though. All three are accommodating.
Work to get bad publicity for the companies involved. So for example Metronic and Premia Spine Limited have both aggressively tried to promote themselves via Misplaced Pages. The press I think consider this an interesting story. Also the FDA or the European Commission may be interested. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:46, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

"There is little evidence for treating most types of chronic pain with opioids."
This is a pretty glaring over-simplfication that requires a lot more explanation. I'm not sure why this should be in the introductory section for a page about "Chronic pain" when really the statement is entirely to do with treatment of CP (or rather a criticism of current treatment for CP). The opinion is by no means widely accepted and at most would belong in a controversial/criticism section. Furthermore, for such a bold statement, something much more authoritative than an NIH workshop should be cited (particularly as you have already declared a minor conflict of interest with the NIH). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.170.229 (talk) 18:23, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
I was sorting wonderful images of pit latrines and such on the Commons, and looking as the wiki pages, I became aware of you as a major force organising and implementing a sanitation project here. I'd like to join but I don't know how much I'm capably of contributing.
But I could be helpful to you on the commons. Right now we're into a big discussion on the best way to organising categories for sanitation-related images, including toilets, latrines, etc. many from African. Do you have any ideas about this? It involves many different cultures and parts of the world. We want everyone to find the categories useful.
I'm trying to organise the relevant images but I need input from knowledgeable people who have a world-wide view, so that the images will be easily accessible to people of deferent languages and cultures. Plus I want to understand of some of the technical stuff. Also I don't know what's really relevance and what is slush, broadly speaking. But I'm very interested in the whole subject! And especially input. (I noticed that the article Latrines is a new translation from the French. It's basic article.) EChastain (talk) 04:35, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Doc,
Just to be clear, it was not my intent to be provocative in editing duloxetine.

Thanks for the reference feedback. I am a medical professional as well and I would like to share with your that peer reviewed medical journal articles are not always "reliable credible" sources. Here is a site that will help you to see the very ugly truth about this. http://retractionwatch.com/
I am a very strong medical maggot therapy advocate due to me requesting this therapy over traditional methods to help heal a post surgical wound that I was left with. I have learned that here in the US most people don't even know that they have this as an option. It is a very unpopular thing among many medical professionals due to arrogance and ignorance and not being as profitable as surgery. The maggot therapy that I received at Stanford Advanced Wound Care center this past month was very successful and a huge learning curve for both myself and the wound doctor. The treatment worked and amazed everyone on the team. My goal is to raise the awareness of these excellent wound debriders and stop all the misinformation out there.
I am all about quoting reliable sources and much of what I have posted on the Maggot Therapy page is just that. I will continue to work on that page as it dearly needs it. Not sure why someone is trying to put the anti-medical-maggot vibe out there by quoting one poorly carried out study in the UK. I am about to load a ton of credible studies form around the globe to put a stop to this misinformation.
User:DeDe4Truth Yes well aware of issues with the published literature. The request is to use review articles which is different than peer reviewed. We use it sometimes here.
Hi James, I am not clear why you deleted my listings of MOA's for Medical Maggots and left the comment that we don't use popular press. I don't use popular press either. All of my page edits have verifiable sources and fall within the acceptable guidelines for Wiki edits. I don't want to battle you over this knowledge and information that I want to share to help stop the misinformation about medical maggot therapy. What specifically are you having issues with concerning my edits? DeDe4Truth (talk) 06:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Do you know the difference between a primary and a secondary source? This is a primary source Please spend some time reading about the difference between the two and please use secondary sources only. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Sure I know the difference and I am going to ask you to stop deleting my edits. I am following the wiki rules for posting and you are sabotaging my edits. All 4 MOA's for medical maggots is well documented and I have listed as you state in your how to edit wiki video that we need to reference peer reviewed published literature and that is exactly what I am doing. DeDe4Truth (talk) 06:58, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Okay so if you know the difference than I guess you are using primary sources on purpose and removing secondary sources? That is not allowed and will likely get you blocked.
We are not seeing eye to eye and you are making one claim in video and trying to force me to abide by your rules. You state in your video that we need to "reference peer reviewed published literature". Show me where I am not doing this. I want you to return my 4 MOA's known for medical maggots. I posted evidence based studies. Why are you deleting them? DeDe4Truth (talk) 07:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
For example your Disinfection edit on the medical maggot page is plagued with missing citations and yet you want to continue to post it. Where are your evidence based references? This should be removed.
The source you used to support the 4th one "Biofilm" was this primary source Biofilm however is part of the infection thus a separate point not needed. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:42, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Help me to understand what is wrong with using a primary source when I reference?
Bilfilm was mentioned to help further educate people about this topic.
What do you mean when you say please format it properly?
Also can you please answer me on the Disinfection section where you list all sorts of information without referencing it. How can this be acceptable on Wiki? DeDe4Truth (talk) 07:48, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
A) we do not typically allow primary sources. You are free to ask others.
Why don't you "typically allow primary sources"? I like to understand why vs. it is what it is. Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
If we are not expected to reference what we edit on Wiki then I suppose I can add a lot of medical maggot information and not have to reference any of it? Is this how it works? DeDe4Truth (talk) 07:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
