Could you explain what you are doing to the fatty acid and the antibody pages? You are removing important links that are there to remind us that we need to create these pages. Red links help us to figure out which important pages need to be created, such as the fatty acid and the antibody pages. By removing important red links, we lose track of which pages need to be created. All your changes will need to be reverted when the pages are created. If you are looking to simplify things, then we can get rid of the categories, rather than the main pages for the categories. In this case, we would combine all pages in the category into the main page for the category, so that we have one page, rather than a whole category. Please explain.

I already discussed this with User:Kmdenmark as I think you've already seen Talk:Single_nucleotide_polymorphism here - others you tagged earlier did not respond. Those pages won't have enough content to be worthwhile do terms are now added to the glossary. They have been stub pages for many years rather than wanted pages - I have looked for content and there is simply too little to justify a page. Fatty acids is a category that does not need a summary article in my view, plus there are articles for very long chain fatty acids, short chain fatty acids, etc. Please think carefully about making mass reverts without checking.

Hi Njt! I just wanted to briefly clarify what I said on Kmdenmark's talk page. I'll use bullet points because I find it easier to organize my thoughts:

  • There are three different language settings in MediaWiki:
    • The wiki's default language setting (specified in LocalSettings.php)
    • The page's content language setting (reflected by the language code suffix such as "/de")
    • The reader's preferred language setting (specified in preferences, for now)
  • The visible screen in MediaWiki is divided into user interface and content.
    • The user interface should always match the reader's preferred language setting.
    • The content should always match the page's content language setting.
  • Now, template messages mostly count as user interface, not as content, so templates mostly follow the reader's preferred language, not the page's content language. This is why templates use {{int:}} or {{int:lang}}, since these parser functions follow the reader's preferred language, not the page's content language.
  • However, when you're editing content inside a regular page, your content should follow the page's content language. In this case, you should use {{PAGELANGUAGE}}, not {{int:}}. Of course, since each language gets their own page via a suffix like "/de", you probably won't need to use either.
  • Example: Template:Cleanup displays a message about the page at the top of the page. This is best considered part of the user interface, not part of the page itself. Therefore, this template will follow the reader's preferred language and use {{int:}}, not {{PAGELANGUAGE}}.
  • Example: Glossary/de is a content page. Therefore anything added to this page should follow the page's content language, not the reader's preferred language. To put it another way, the content of a page ending in "/de" should be in German, no matter what the reader's preferred language is.
  • More complicated example: Template:Citation needed displays a message embedded inside the content of a page. Does this make it part of the user interface or part of the page content itself? If we consider it part of the user interface, then it should use {{int:lang}}. However, if we consider it part of the page content then it should use {{PAGELANGUAGE}} instead of {{int:lang}}. This is kind of a grey area, but the more I think about it, it should probably be considered part of the content, not part of the user interface. Therefore, we should consider switching it from {{int:lang}} to {{PAGELANGUAGE}}.
  • NOTE: {{PAGELANGUAGE}} does not yet work, as it needs a developer change in order to make sure that it returns the same language as the "/de" suffix.

Hope this is clear!
Pyrrhus (talk) 00:04, September 7, 2019 (EDT)

Thanks for the great explanation. Does PAGELANGUAGE use system messages? I guess having a main page in different languages would probably be too much to maintain? Although if it was possible to create them using system messages it might be simple since the page doesn't change often. Do you know if the word Portal is translated in the user interface? I think it might not be. A more recent developer tasks list would be appreciated on Slack since I am not sure if we have requested certain things or not. notjusttired (talk) 09:23, September 7, 2019 (EDT)
PAGELANGUAGE is just a global system variable that returns the page content language of the current page. I don’t think having the main page in different languages will be such a big deal, it’s short and it doesn’t change much. Plus, you don’t need admin privileges to create Welcome to MEpedia/de, like you would need in order to create a system message. But more importantly, if someone chooses to view the German version of the main page using the interlanguage links in the sidebar, then they should expect to see the page in German, not in whatever their reader preferred language setting might be at the time, which is why system messages are to be avoided in a content page. This will all probably become much clearer when the developer changes are made and we can test things out for ourselves. I’ll send you a link on Slack to the “DRAFT Developer Suggestions” as it currently stands. Hope this helps.
Pyrrhus (talk) 20:41, September 7, 2019 (EDT)
Great! My thinking with system messages was to use without int:, eg MediaWiki:mymessage/{{PAGELANGUAGE}} notjusttired (talk) 15:51, September 8, 2019 (EDT)

Category banners: Medical hypotheses and Potential treatments[edit source | reply | new]

Compatibility with all skins

Both the pivot and Timeless (dark) skins rely on classes being used - without that no banner appears on the Pivot skin and the colors are messed up on Timeless skin (it adds a dark shadow to text to improve contrast: it's also a "low vision" skin). Current banners are created by MediaWiki:Common.js Javascript using the following classes and css (note: banner position can be moved below heading if "append" is used instead of "prepend").

//$(".mw-body-content").css ("background-color","#f8d6c2");
     //$(".toc").css ("background-color","#f8d6c2");
     $(".firstHeading").prepend ('<div style = "margin:auto;padding:20px;width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#00ee54;">This is a <a href = "/wiki/Category:Potential_treatments">Potential treatments</a> page</div>');

// pivot fix
$("h1.title"...

So any h1 headings should apply class="title" and text not using the "h1" style should include class="firstHeading". We should probably move these colors to MediaWiki:Common.css, perhaps creating a class for each banner style with the relevant background and font colors.

Suggested new formatting: using low vision sky blue to slightly improve contrast, fixing text color rather than changing depending on if the link has been visited or not, and a text shadow to improve visibly.

Add to MediaWiki:Common.css

.title {
   background-color: #56b4e9;
   color: white;
   margin:auto;
   padding:20px;
   width:100%;
   text-align: center;
   font-size: 1.8em;
   text-shadow: 1px 1px black;
}
.title a.link:active, .title a.link:hover,
 .title a.link:visited, .title a.link,
 .title a {
    color: white !important;
    font-weight: bold;
}

Change code on MediaWiki:Top-notice-Biopsychosocial model to:

<div class="title" style="background: #56b4e9">This is a [[:Category:Medical_hypotheses|Medical hypothesis]] page.</div>

~Njt (talk) 16:55, October 25, 2019 (EDT)Njt (talk) 16:40, October 25, 2019 (EDT)Njt (talk) 16:08, October 25, 2019 (EDT)

Code now above. I think I over-complicated explanation - won't add new features, just better color contrast and text shadow which works on all skins (light and dark). Once confirmed working small updates needed to MediaWiki:Common.js for both Potential treatments and Medical hypothesis banners. Pretty much looks like this (but with a link):

This is a Medical hypothesis page.
User:Pyrrhus ~Njt (talk) 16:55, October 25, 2019 (EDT)
This sounds like a new feature request. You can start a new section for this request at MediaWiki talk:Common.js. This talk page will be deleted once I am done testing the new banner.
Pyrrhus (talk) 16:31, October 25, 2019 (EDT)
I think I understand now. One question: Is "title" a new CSS class or an existing class? If it's a new class, maybe we should choose a more unique name such as "custom-header" or something that won't conflict with other classes? User:Notjusttired

I've tried to translate it into Dutch an French but it isn't that easy. These Copyright terms are quite specific and ifrequently used in ordinary language. So perhaps you could let other Dutch/French speakers check if it sounds ok. - Sisyphus

Thanks for your help User:Sisyphus, I will do that with the copyright specific ones. notjusttired (talk) 17:50, August 17, 2019 (EDT)

Tweet[edit source | reply | new]

Hey Njt! I noticed a weird error message regarding the Tweet/doc page at category:Pages_with_incorrect_formatting_templates_use. I really don’t know what to make of it, maybe it makes more sense to you... Cheers!
Pyrrhus (talk) 20:07, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

Do you mean the date script error? I think the Math extension might be needed for that template (which isn't in use yet). It fails because the Extract template it uses doesn't work. notjusttired (talk) 15:13, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

Deleting pages problem[edit source | reply | new]

Hi notjusttired! I started deleting some of the pages you cited for deletion, however, without them the references no longer populate, so I restored several. Please advise. Thanks, Kmdenmark (talk) 16:44, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

Hi Kmdenmark! I see that the "Articles for deletion" category is broken, and it is showing a number of template pages that were never marked for deletion. I will look into the problem later on today or tomorrow and then I will get back to you. In the meantime, please restore the following templates that still need to be restored: Template:Chem2, Template:Chem2/doc, Template:Citation needed/doc, Template:Composition bar, Template:Composition bar/doc, Template:Coord/doc. Thanks!
Pyrrhus (talk) 17:16, June 26, 2019 (EDT)
Pyrrhus Thanks! Take your time with it. I'll restore the ones deleted and will ignore the list until further notice. Kmdenmark (talk) 17:40, June 26, 2019 (EDT)
Yikes! User:Kmdenmark All the ones I marked for deletion today start with "Template:Template:" so those should be fine to delete, and all should have a similarly named page with "Template:" just mentioned once. I can't imagine what happened here. notjusttired (talk) 18:05, June 26, 2019 (EDT)
Please hold off on deleting anything. There maybe some weird unanticipated link between the templates we want deleted and those we don’t want deleted...
Pyrrhus (talk) 18:26, June 26, 2019 (EDT)
Pyrrhus and notjusttired, I'll hold off from deleting anything for now. I'm assuming that keeping the pages for now will not interfere with other operations. Kmdenmark (talk) 11:51, June 27, 2019 (EDT)
User:Pyrrhus User:Kmdenmark I believe it's fixed now. I accidentally marked 2 templates that are needed for deletion, and they must be transclusions, so they added the deletion category to every template that used them. Can you please add protection to these 2 pages to prevent this happening again - the pages are Template:Template_other and Template:Template_error_report. The pages I had intended for deletion all had "Template:" in the name not just "Template", and all should be blank except for the deletion category. Perhaps you can both check if Category:Articles for deletion looks right now. I'm really sorry for the problems caused by my mistake. notjusttired (talk) 14:16, June 27, 2019 (EDT)
looks good to me, thanks njt!
Pyrrhus (talk) 14:48, June 27, 2019 (EDT)


Pivot[edit source | reply | new]

Hi Njt! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. In case you missed it, the Pivot skin comes with some configuration variables. For more info, see https://pivot.wikiproject.net/wiki/Pivot_features
Here is some example code you may be interested in:

$wgPivotFeatures = [
 'navbarIcon' => true,
 'addThisPUBID' => 'ra-5cdfe8dacb9028fa'
];
$wgAddThisSidebar = true;
$wgAddThispubid = 'ra-5cdfe8dacb9028fa';

(Code obviously comes after wfLoadSkin( 'pivot' );.) Hope this helps.
Pyrrhus (talk) 17:40, May 25, 2019 (EDT)

I've seen that, thanks. The publisher ID I requested and should sort the sidebar issue. Oddly the side bar setting does not work as you'd expect given the name! The logo setting might be withwhile but only applies to the smallest mobiles and puts the logo in the centre of the top bar! I've swapped the font and style of the title bar for the moment, and got it displayed #MEpedia. See code on MediaWiki_talk:Pivot.css for .p-logo-text. When the weekend is over In going to put in a request to add the MEAction fonts for ALL skins, which will mean we can use the logo text style anywhere. notjusttired (talk) 17:51, May 25, 2019 (EDT)

Hi! Just checking if you need me to make any other changes. Hope all is well Kmdenmark (talk) 17:31, 16 May 2019 (EDT)

Thank you for the offer of help. I'm making a lot of changes to the 2 new skins so that would be great. Can you do the new code for Timeless, like you did for the Pivot one? It's on here MediaWiki_talk:Timeless.css and needs to overwrite MediaWiki:Timeless.css totally, which will be easier than deleting the sections causing layout issues. Thanks again notjusttired (talk) 15:41, 17 May 2019 (EDT)

Archived[edit source | reply | new]

"Hi Njt! I noticed the following suggestion of yours in the Dev queue of MEpedia:Suggested_tasks:
"Create custom Special page for tracking pages using NeedsImage template requested by User:Notjusttired"
I was under the impression that this page accomplishes this: Category:Articles_that_need_an_image_or_photo
Am I wrong or missing something? Thanks.
Pyrrhus (talk) 19:22, 28 March 2019 (EDT)

Have done that now. I originally hoped to add or as a Tracking category in special pages so it's easy to find, but there's no simple way to do this. Would rather focus on other dev tasks.
Have you got any thoughts on different skins? I added some to the Dev queue including a dark one. notjusttired (talk) 17:18, 30 March 2019 (EDT)
BTW, I recently created a page to collate all those weird special pages together: MEpedia:Pages in need
The idea is that there would be a link in the lefthand sidebar to this "Pages in need" page so that contributors would have quick access to all these weird special pages. I'm pretty clueless on skins, so no opinion here, but I'll try to take a look. Thanks for all your help, Njt!
Pyrrhus (talk) 18:47, 30 March 2019 (EDT)
okay, I’ve finally taken a look at skins. It looks like you are recommending TimelessDarkCSS as a light-sensitive option and Pivot as the Mobile option. Is this correct?
Also, i note that your user page mentions “collapsible lists”. Do you know of any way to do that? That would be ideal for the Contents page...
Pyrrhus (talk) 18:59, 10 April 2019 (EDT)
Hi Pyrrhus. Yes to the Timeless-DarkCSS for those with photophobia or preferring a dark background.
The Pivot skin is brilliant for mobile devices and tablets but actually looks excellent on a Desktop (in my view) - Timeless without the dark CSS is a serif font I seem to remember and also looks good on mobiles, tablets and desktops. The norm is to default to Vector for wikis but Vector is really hard work on small screens because you can't hide the side menu - either you zoom and scroll a lot or need the most amazing vision.
Assuming these get installed and work as well as expected it should be nice to have a button to flip to the dark skin for those not logged in . I haven't seen the code to do this yet though. notjusttired (talk) 16:44, 11 April 2019 (EDT)
okay, here’s what it looks like we should do:
  1. Install Timeless-DarkCSS and Pivot skins
  2. Put two links in the lefthand/top sidebar: “Light-sensitive interface” and “Mobile-friendly interface”. These links will bring up instructions for how to switch skins in the user’s Preferences. When we find the code for a not-logged-in-user button, we’ll replace the links with buttons.
  3. If the Pivot interface turns out to be as good as you say, we should talk about making Pivot the default interface for all devices.
Does that look right?
Pyrrhus (talk) 17:25, 11 April 2019 (EDT)
Yes, that's right, although I think calling it "dark view" or "dark version" would be better. Dark timeless is simply a skin called Timeless with extra CSS, Timeless has almost the same features as Pivot so it might be a case of seeing whether Timeless in white is more popular than Pivot - I prefer Pivot myself. There's 2 different ways to automatically switch skins for mobile users Method 1 and Mobile Frontend method which would allow desktop users to stay on Vector automatically. If you want to checkout hope they look on different screen sizes then Screenfly is pretty good notjusttired (talk) 18:50, 11 April 2019 (EDT)

Renaming?[edit source | reply | new]

I renamed this page to use the US spelling, as per the Manual of Style. User:kmdenmark But should the category be renamed to British Organizations? This would be easier to browse from Category:Organizations because the country make would be first and the name is shorter. The same issue is there for Universities. This would also fit with the Standard MEpedia country categories eg Category:British research initiatives. I've created a temporary MEpedia Page Outlines for both Universities and Organizations but would welcome input / Ch changes from others. notjusttired (talk) 18:14, 20 February 2019 (EST)

The changes are fine with me. I have no attachment to either way. I think "Organizations based in the United Kingdom" is a bit long and awkward but it's the category title that Wikipedia uses.

Categories for UK politicians[edit source | reply | new]

Hi. Can you avoid removing politicians from the categories for political parties? This is crucial information for advocacy and not held elsewhere. Labour/Co-op members are considered members of both parties so need to be in more than one category. Keeping them as categories allows someone to look for UK adbocates, then use the subcategories to find just politicians for political parties or fod which committee they are on - one committee is investigating the PACE trial Parties cover both MPs and the unelected House of Lords.

Thank you for explaining the need for categories for politicians. I see your point and will not delete them anymore. Kmdenmark (talk) 14:29, 11 February 2019 (EST)
Thanks notjusttired (talk) 19:01, 11 February 2019 (EST)

Also please don't mark redirects for deletion - they are there to help from the correctly spelled page - searching the incorrect name means MEpedia then find the correct page name too. notjusttired (talk) 13:06, 7 February 2019 (EST)

Re: misspellings - I don't think misspellings should be honored with redirects. It is impossible to conceive of every misspelling that someone could use. I think the misspellings clutter the drop down menu in our search engine and make articles harder to find rather than easier. I support using redirects for alternative spellings, but not misspellings. If you can give me an example of one of the redirects you want to stay, it would help me understand your reasoning. I, also, eliminated some redirects where pages were not medically the same and to keep them as such would be inaccurate. A better way to link similar but different pages would be with links in the 'See also' section. (I don't know if you were the author of those redirects, but I wanted to explain why I eliminated those redirects, also.) My best, Kmdenmark (talk) 14:29, 11 February 2019 (EST)
It depends on the reason for the mispelling and how common it is. Eg if you delete the redirect for Intestinal permiability and type of into a search the correct page name won't come up - there's no results. Delete redirects for different spacing in page names and that search phrase may not work any more (eg The M.E. Society vs The ME Society). There's also a few unexpected UK vs US spellings (diarrhoea), and a few researchers with names that are commonly mispelled or have very similar spellings, which sometimes means their research is under several different names (AT Anbu vs Theo Anbu). When it comes to linking redirects have a link icon next to the page name, so it's easy to pick the right one - although perhaps there is a hidden property that can be used.
I'm fine with trying it your way. Let's watch how the redirects work and see if we get other feedback from users.
A couple specific points: Sometimes the search engine is extra slow or temporary not working; that may explain why the correct spelling for Intestinal permeability didn't come up when you originally searched. I tested it and it came up every time I searched this morning.
Re: British spelling. I wholeheartedly agree that redirects for British spellings should have redirects. The main title is to be in American spelling as per MEpedia manual of style. My best, Kmdenmark (talk) 12:01, 12 February 2019 (EST)
Thanks User:Kmdenmark - I've noticed performance problems but that has been loading pages rather than on searches. Maybe there's something else going on.


With making redirects for deletion, they need any pages using them to be updated first. The Contents page (which I can't edit) has a non-standard List of Quotes link, so deleting to use the correct capitalization breaks the link on the Contents page.

Notjustired: Severe and very severe ME Chronological order goes from earliest to latest. Citations are not placed under the study and instead, they are cited. If details like pages are necessary, they can be entered into the citation. --MEcfsFMS (talk) 09:51, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

Hi. Is that somewhere in the editorial standards? I don't remember reading it. I think it's important to add doi to citations of they aren't already in there. I will look at adding author links to the citations too. I created a talk page for the Severe ME image to discuss ideas. notjusttired (talk) 10:15, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

I put doi in and the PMID? But PMC causes an error and I don't think they have figured out why yet. Authors links don't get created and I thought they were in the "Reference" area.--MEcfsFMS (talk) 10:39, 20 October 2018 (EDT)
I see, if the citation automatically creates the citation, authors internal links are created. If they have to be manually input then it does not seem to create them.
That makes sense. I thought people had been spending ages manually adding them or copying and pasting the code for the most common ones. I normally automatically generate a citation, if it doesn't work I use another link or the doi, then replace the finished link with a full text link if necessary. Links from investinme and researchgate normally don't generate automatically so I use a PubMed link and overwrite the link only after the citation is generated.

Could you update the Manual of style with anything else that isn't in there? I'll go back sort the citations I changed. notjusttired (talk) 10:53, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

MOS - Dates[edit source | reply | new]

Hi Notjusttired:

Somewhere at some point early on, I remember the date format was to be US, Jun 10, 2016, and not 10 Jun 2016. I can't remember where or when I read this but a few of us started changing dates in UK format and going forward we used US format. I think Jen had posted about it but I'm not sure. Also, we were to change any UK spellings to the US spelling unless it was a quote.--MEcfsFMS (talk) 14:26, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

ty for letting me know, can you fix what I wrote on MOS - does the same apply to date in citations? Sometimes they cause an error so I presume I put them in as Jun, 28 2018 now?

Yes, that is how I write in the citations, but move the comma so it is Jun 28, 2018 or Jun 2018. I will change MOS.--MEcfsFMS (talk) 14:43, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

- Will do, do you know about fixing the citation template error at all? Dates generated in the form 2018-06 always give an error when you generate a citation from a link - I presume it's possible to fix this? notjusttired (talk) 14:49, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Fibromyaliga Page[edit source | reply | new]

Please be careful where information is added on the Fibromyalgia page. The blood test information you added should go on the Fibromyalgia notable studies page as it is not an accepted blood test yet. I moved the EpicGenetics blood test under the subheading "Blood tests" under "United States" and put the study you had added on the Fibromyalgia discussion page. You can post this research on the Fibromyalgia notable studies page.

I created and edited most of these pages starting with the username DxCFS. I lost my PW when FF crashed and could not get it back using the PW retrieval as there is something wrong with MEpedia carrying out this task. I have had many usernames because I am really bad with remembering my usernames and usually just use a VPN now.--77.111.245.10 12:07, 25 March 2019 (EDT)

Also, the Fibromyalgia page became too long to use the "Edit" tab and the "Edit source" tab is not an option due to citations and that is why I broke Notable studies off. There is an area at the bottom of the Fibromyalgia page to post news articles about research as people usually want to read about research by media and bloggers and not the hard research.--77.111.245.10 12:13, 25 March 2019 (EDT)
Thanks for the input - I've never edited that page before. I will update the redirects for blood test info - when I searched before adding it the Fibro Notable studies page wasn't near the top of the results (I don't recall seeing it at all). notjusttired (talk) 16:49, 25 March 2019 (EDT)


Simon Wessely Page[edit source | reply | new]

content hidden

Wessely Page - Hi Notjusttired. I'm currently editing the page on Simon Wessely by inserting many references. Please leave the page for a moment otherwise we crosspost and I loose all the changes which is many hours of work. Kind regards, Sisyphus.

I've just seen your notice. I will leave alone. I am going to put some improved citations on the talk page and leave it at that. notjusttired (talk) 08:08, July 16, 2019 (EDT)

Thanks. It's ok now. The references have been inserted (It took a while). Could you delete the warning "This article may require cleanup to meet MEpedia's quality standards"? If not, could you explain which sections or claims you disagree with (for example in the discussion section of the page). Kind regards, Sisyphus.

I will take a look. Did you see the citations I suggested on the talk page, including the Camelford ones? notjusttired (talk) 10:45, July 16, 2019 (EDT)

I used some of them. I only briefly mention Camelford as an example where Wessely controversially pointed towards psychosocial factors in a case that isn't clear. More information about this could be posted on a seperate MEpedia page. I unfortunately do not know the details of this case, so I'll leave it to you and others. - Sisypus.

User:Sisyphus Can you explain why so many sections have been removed or pretty much reverted? It was only recently changed about 3 weeks ago. It now reads as if everything Wessely claims via journalists or is in his research is a fact - even though at times he contradicts his previous statements so making it hard to know what he thinks. Eg the fact that Wessely claims CFS is part of MUS is his opinion, not a generally accept fact and that needs to be clear. In fact, one of the controversies around Wessely is him repeatedly making the claim that it can be classed as a psychological condition in the ICD-10 manual - despite confirmation from the World Health Organization that it is explicitly excluded and only classified as neurological. Including the death threats. The carefully phrased sections I added about those contesting his many claims are gone. He is known for saying one thing to one audience and something totally different to another. The links to the 3 pages of quotes complied from him are gone. I haven't seen a reason in the history or a mention of the removals or changes to the headings. Even his retirement claim is not a fact - he carried on publishing CFS research for years after "retiring". Eg police freedom of information act requests contradict that. As far as Wessely's claims of victimization go, we should be reporting "In a 2017 interview, Wessely stated that" but not in a way that suggests that it is factual. Wessely refused to appear before the UK's Gibson Enquiry which was pressing him for answers on his views. notjusttired (talk) 11:59, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

I tried to rewrite the page in full text and provide more context to his work and the controversies. I’m sorry if have deleted things without providing a reason why. Regarding the ICD, I personally think he was trying to say that patients with the symptoms of CFS can be diagnosed as having CFS (G93.3) or neurasthenia/fatigue syndrome (F48.8) and don’t see this as a big issue. If you disagree, perhaps we can make a section on this under controversies. Regarding the quotes: I am not a fan of quotes without context, certainly if it is used to criticize someone or cast someone in a certain light. That’s certainly the case of the links you mention. If you want them restored perhaps we could use them as example of criticism of Wessely rather than as an resource of quotes from him? Regarding the death threats I’m ok with restoring the info for example regarding the freedom of information request. I didn’t think this was vital because the information doesn’t permit us to make conclusions about what happened. And regarding the Gibson Enquiry if Wessely did actually get serious death threats, than I could understand why he prefers not to be questioned about the details on this. So I don't think this means much. If you insist on including more info about this, perhaps there is enough to make a separate page on this (there’s also some relevant info about this from Valerie Eliot Smith’s blog). Kind regards, Sispyhus.

I'm happy to have the quotes back under a heading "Quotes critical of Wessely" or similar. The classification of ME/CFS is a huge issue because it is part of his claims that it is not a disease / has no disease process and that it is psychological or mostly psychological which justifies the CBT and even GET. He refuses to acknowledge any science he does not like such as mitochondria or immune days. It's quite likely he quit research rather than having his work proved wrong. Same with Michael Sharpe, also from the PACE trial. Peter White of the PACE trial allegedly retired early from clinical practice to avoid GMC complaints that could have removed his license to practice (he was under investigation). Wessely also helped design the PACE trial - a crucial fact now missing from the top of his page. Wessely and his policies largely in control of UK treatment and has been for over a decade. Regular political questions on him and his Wessely school. Thanks to his attempts to re-classify the illness all UK ME/CFS treatment comes from a mental health health budget, he controls the media via the Science Media Centre, and gives numerous interviews making nasty persons attacks on patients. Wessely and Deale provided the key randomized controlled trial in the 1990s still used as "evidence" for CBT. The Gibson Enquiry was a scientific one, many years before he stated his death threat claims - which some have suggested are simply a way to detect from PACE trial criticism, since that's when they appeared. Absolutely nothing to fear from that except scientific scrutiny. Several Freedom of Information Act requests have shown that PACE trial critics are not harassing let alone threatening anyone. Although they tried to use this argument to prevent the release of the data.

I feel that the page re-write portrays Wessely incorrectly as mostly not controversial, and portrays his science as student accepted, and endorses his views given in newspaper interviews as accurate and unbiased. He will make claims like Gulf War Illness doesn't exist, then later claim to have originally discovered it! He's also a social security advisor and does not believe patients should be entitled to disability benefits.As regards the quotes - they come from several charities and are certainly not taken out of context. It's very hard to see how many of the statements could be out of context given how rude and nasty they often are about patients, who he calls "disgusting" and "not wanting to get better".
What do you think about adding back in the references that were removed, and then working together to tackle a section at once? I think it important to be very careful not to claim Wessely has reported the truth about himself since this is often untrue or contradicted (either by himself or by independent sources). notjusttired (talk) 13:35, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

I have thought about your comments but I think we have to be neutral and objective on this. I don’t think the texts of Margaret Williams and Malcolm Hooper should be used as a basis for the MEpedia page for exactly this reason. The page already contains much criticism of Wessely. It says in the introduction that his work is controversial and has been repeatedly criticized and it already contains numerous controversial quotes of him (including the “not wanting to get better” one). Regarding the quotes out of context: I do think this is a big problem. The one about ME merely being a belief for example has been circulating within the ME community as it were to mean that ME patients are malingering, which isn’t what Wessely was saying. These kinds of misunderstandings are very unfortunate and distract from the real issues with his work. I also think the MEpedia page should not only be directed towards patients but also to outsiders such as journalists or researchers who want objective information about Wessely. So a link to a list of controversial quotes with comments mocking what he said seems inappropriate. There are plenty of blogs and articles that criticize his work or scrutinize every word he said during his career, looking for inconsistencies or poorly nuanced statements. I don’t think the MEpedia page should be another of these and instead should offer an overview of his work and career like we do with other pages on researchers. If you see further problems with the page, I don’t mind discussing it further. But I think the current version is well balanced. - Sisyphus.

I think the issue we are disagreeing on here is mostly neutrality. While parts of the previous page were not put across in a way that was fully neutrally totally excluding critical sources has in fact done the opposite. We can look at phrasing at the amount of text given to criticism but removing it is entirely inappropriate. I have an issue with passing off Wessely's views as facts when they are not - such as claiming CFS is part of MUS. We should not be doing that on any researcher's page. There is no doubt that Wessely is controversial - in fact he has given a number of interviews knowing that they would be controversial. "Controversial" is not a negative judgement - the Enterovirus theory is also controversial. ME itself and much of the research is controversial. The fact is his research is controversial too - after all the CDC, NHS and others followed it and the CDC and others then dumped it, plus there was the Stop GET petition too. The Institute of Medicine report disputes it. On neurality, we also can't claim Wessely invented CBT for CFS when he actually was one of 3 - Trudie Chalder has separately claimed to be the inventer. I am going to make some edits today, keeping in mind what you have said, to add in more neutral phrasing on his research "Wessely stated", in "Sir Wessely's view" etc. And add back in some references critical. While Margaret Williams and Malcolm Hooper are very critical, that does not mean they should be totally left off the page - that's not neutrality - but neither should they be emphasized. Patient groups critical of Wessely should certainly be referenced, along with Freedom of Information Act requests since they are neutral and accurate. This might mean overall that less text is critical of Wessely than before, but that there are a large number of sources supporting certain points. Part of the guidelines we are writing for is to allow others to find out more information, so we do need to either reference or link to quotes or Hooper's Mental health movement, but also any articles praising him and summarizing his contribution. If Quotes aren't used as a heading then they could go in Learn more for example. Clearly given the significant time taken to collect all these, they do have significance and may bring people to do the page who are looking for "Weasel words" - in which case they would then see an article more balanced than just those quotes. Perhaps you would like to look for those, or have some in mind. Re: Malingering: Wessely has said exactly that, in fact using the phrase "malinger's charter". Part of the basis of his scientific arguments is that around the "secondary gain" - his work and especially interviews repeatedly make this claim. That doesn't necessarily mean that particular quote needs including, but it is representative of his views. notjusttired (talk) 07:12, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

With all the respect notjusttired but I disagree with some of your changes and would prefer the original to be reinstated. I don’t want to use an argument of authority here, but my text does include 135 references, mostly scientific publications. I have worked many months on this and I know what I’m talking about. For example regarding the Gulf War syndrome: there’s not really a contradiction: his 1999 epidemiological study demonstrated that there was an adverse effect of going to the Gulf war that goes beyond deployed to war or being a soldier at that time period. So his study was one of the most important ones in demonstrating that the health of soldiers who went to the Gulf War was affected by something. But he doesn’t want to say there is a Gulf War Syndrome because there was no evidence for a unique constellation of signs or symptoms – the Gulf war veterans reported more of all the 50 symptoms assessed in the study. That’s his view and it’s unambiguously presented in his publications. It’s only by relying on fragmented quotes or misrepresentations by Hooper and Williams that things get obscure and that’s what I’m trying to avoid on the page. Malingering is another example. There is no evidence that Wessely thinks CFS patients are malingering. In fact he has repeatedly warned against this idea, saying “there is little evidence to suggest that the fatigue results from impaired motivation, and the use of terms such as ‘malingering’ or ‘hysteria’ is to be deplored.” (Source: https://studylib.net/doc/7895242/chronic-fatigue-syndrome). He made similar arguments about Gulf War Syndrme (see minute 50 of this lecture: https://vimeo.com/52995882). I can also attest that Wessely developed CBT for CFS: he was to first to publish about this in 1988 and to first to publish a trial on this in 1991. Chalder worked for him at the time so when she says she first developed CBT, she probably meant she was part of the team that did and that team was lead by Wessely. I highly doubt that she would contest that. She has no problem with crediting him, even about the scale that now bears her name: “I think its more Simons research than mine that we developed a fatigue scale, which is now called The Chalder fatigue scale.” (source: https://www.s4me.info/threads/13-march-2019-chalder-%E2%80%98medically-unexplained-symptoms%E2%80%99-my-clinical-and-research-journey-over-30-years.5576/page-3#post-152193) I have reread the page and don’t understand what you mean by presenting Wesselys' view that CFS is part of MUS as a fact. I constantly use the phrase “they argued…” Williams and Hooper are allready on the page, they are references as examples of criticism of Wessely’s work. And I don’t quite understand why you made a separate heading for the PACE trial: Wessely wasn’t an author of the PACE trial. It seems weird to focus on this. He has published approximately 600 papers, several books and numerous newspaper articles – most which don’t get a mention because of a lack of space. I’ve waited on editing the Wessely page until I’ve read most of his work and got an overview. By working this way I hoped to achieve a balance in attention each items receives without making the page too long. So please be mindful of that if you change things. Kind regards - Sisyphus.

"CBT is is based on a psychological and fatigue-based approach, with an expectation that exercise would normally be part of the treatment." is also not correct. In contrast to the CBT developed by Bleijenberg and Vercoulen, the CBT model developed at Kings' College does not necessarily include exercise. Instead it is focussed on graded actvity which can be increases in social activities, reading etc. Furthermore it is strange to describe it as a fatigue-based approach as it was inspired by the treatment of chronic pain. Wessely and other CBT-authors acknowledge this repeatedly.

Do you mind if I move this conversion to the Talk page for Wessely? We are getting into what feels like a stalemate, I think input and suggestions from others would help. There shouldn't be a question on authority here, I would like to achieve a consensus and that should be possible. One of the very difficult issues with Wessely is that he contradicts himself, and these are worth pointing out. He will claim one thing in one place and another to a different audience - "malinger's charter" is a direct quote from him which he later contradicted (just as an example). So we should be careful in claiming his view or one thing or another when he himself has contradicted it elsewhere. The new section I will respond on in a moment, with a paste from the research to clarify.
I recognize you have worked hard on this, but I think to make huge changes at all once causes issues for other editors. I also have worked extensively in this page, in Nov/Dec, and in March and then in June, plus on related topics recently - eg CBM model, and CBT. I too would prefer a revert to before you made the changes (!) but I think a looking towards a consensus would be a better approach. notjusttired (talk) 09:20, July 18, 2019 (EDT)


Yes perhaps it's best to move the conversion to the talk page for Wessely. Perhaps we can just copy paste what we wrote here so that others can follow our conversation? I also agree in working towards a consensus. But changes need to be carefully argued with good references (not just something someone else has claimed on a blog or tweet). I haven't seen any evidence that Wessely often contradicts himself, excepts perhaps for his statements on not seeing Ean P. Of course if one dissects everything a researcher has said or published in the last 30 years, you'll always find something. But haven't noticed clear contradictions. I'm not aware however where the 'malinger's charter' quote comes from - was this during a lecture? One option would be to add more detailed criticism and information about Wessely on a seperate page - for example 'Wessely school' and to add a prominent link on the Simon Wessely page to this one for further details on the criticism of his work, including what Hooper and Williams have written. I apologize if I deleted information you saw as important. I tried to incorporate most in the text I've wrote. I appreciate the hard work you put into MEpedia.

Tagging -- Brettz9 (talk) 16:06, July 23, 2019 (EDT)[edit source | reply | new]

Hi there... I'm really too drained and preoccupied to do much these days with the wiki, so if you wouldn't mind only tagging me in cases where I had added the content myself, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Brettz9 (talk) 16:06, July 23, 2019 (EDT)

Slow down[edit source | reply | new]

Please slow down with your edits on Dutch topics. You're making lots of mistakes. As I suffer from ME, I can't possibly keep up. Guido den Broeder (talk) 21:24, September 12, 2019 (EDT)

I can slow down editing, although I have no yet seen evidence that I had said anything not supported by references notjusttired (talk) 13:18, September 13, 2019 (EDT)

I am now asking you to stay away from the Dutch pages that I'm editing. If you don't do that voluntarily, I will ask for you to be topic-banned. Guido den Broeder (talk) 17:25, September 14, 2019 (EDT)

Explain your reason please. There are several editors reversing your edits, you are not following editorial or science guidelines, and even reversing some manual of style changes at the same time (eg date format). And you have a clear conflict of interest with this topic because you are founder one Dutch charity and wrote here - on MEpedia - that you previously lead a revolt against changes in another. So I find this request of yours quite unexpected. notjusttired (talk) 20:03, September 14, 2019 (EDT)
This is not Wikipedia. Conflict of interest is not even defined here. If we were to apply the Wikipedia policy I would have a conflict of interest with every topic on this wiki, and so would all knowledgable editors, and the wiki would remain empty. So instead we just do the best we can, because it's important and there are only a few of us. All that you contribute on these pages is a lot of mistakes. That costs too much of my time and energy, so it needs to stop. There is plenty of technical work to do, so why don't you do that and leave the content to others. Guido den Broeder (talk) 20:27, September 14, 2019 (EDT)
With regard to dates: when I'm creating an article, I avoid using citation templates, because those clutter up the source text so badly that my ME brain can't cope very well. So the date format is irrelevant and I use the same format that I apply everywhere else, again saving time and energy. Content is important, minor differences in style are not. Guido den Broeder (talk) 20:51, September 14, 2019 (EDT)
So basically, you don't have a reason other than "mistakes". Please see the MEpedia:Manual of style including the talk page for it on dates. Everything here is US format, with short month names. It is up to you whether you use the Visual editor or not, but it would create ask the citations for you very quickly. Alternatively, just paste in the link as you do now, without the [ ]square brackets , then when you next use the Visual editor click it, and you will get a "Convert" option which will do so the citation for you. The citation template is not optional - but we are always keen to find ways to reduce the concentration needed to edit or read. I am somewhat surprised that you have not edited your own charity page now (I was on the website earlier but can't find some of the standard info we normally add). Brain fog I can never get used to. notjusttired (talk) 21:31, September 14, 2019 (EDT)

Signature in section headers[edit source | reply | new]

Section headers should not auto-generate a signature in them. Not only does that makes things messy, it affects Google searches. Can you please change that back to default? Guido den Broeder (talk) 16:34, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

This is an automatic feature on MEpedia for editors using the toolbar button. There is no option not to include the name and signature. If you want this to change you need find out how it works and request the change, although it may have been added because inexperienced editors were forgetting to sign their posts. MEpedia talk pages are not indexed. notjusttired (talk) 17:45, September 15, 2019 (EDT)
Not so much inexperienced editors, but you do forget to sign your posts. Apparently, despite offering technical help, you don't have access to the backside of this wiki. That's OK, I will ask elsewhere. Could you explain what your offer of technical assistance means instead? Guido den Broeder (talk) 17:55, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Manual of style[edit source | reply | new]

The Manual of style was in part created by editors that are no longer around, with random edits by you in between. I intend to change it to make it easier for ME patients to contribute, before inviting other ME patients to join this project. For now, just remember that the MoS is not mandatory, especially not on pages that are still work in progress. They are guidance, not policy. Allowing users to contribute in a style that they feel comfortable with has priority. Guido den Broeder (talk) 17:36, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

That is a ridiculous statement. I hope that you did not mean to suggest that the ill health of editors should be used to disregard their views and contributions entirely. It would appear that you have total disdain for the current MOS, editorial guidelines and science guidelines, and the fact that we have over 2,000 pages following these. Repeated uncivil behavior toward several users is also apparent. As I understand from your message here and your repeated failure to follow what has been agreed, you appear to have chosen not to engage with the process and feel that you will just change them as how you choose and without discussion. This is a collaborate project rather than a website you can simply hijack. notjusttired (talk) 17:57, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Guido den Broeder[edit source | reply | new]

I refuse to accept further messages from you on my talk page. You are repeatedly harassing me and edit warring, and at times insulting me. This is not civil behavior.

In future, if you have something to say to me use the relevant article talk page instead. User:Guido den Broeder notjusttired (talk) 17:57, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Dorsal root ganglion or Dorsal root ganglia -- Loopy (talk) 08:51, November 18, 2019 (EST)[edit source | reply | new]

Hi, Notjusttired.

I wanted to ask if you felt that the Dorsal root ganglia page should really be Dorsal root ganglion. I see it both ways but usually Dorsal root ganglion. Wikipedia has a page that uses "ganglion". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_root_ganglion

--Loopy (talk) 08:51, November 18, 2019 (EST)

I'm not really sure to be honest. If you want to rename it, leave the old redirect in place in case anyone searches for the old name. The wiki reference (ref 1) should be replaced with an encyclopedia or similar to meet the Science guidelines. ~Njt (talk) 13:19, November 18, 2019 (EST)

Edit Issues? -- Loopy (talk) 05:14, April 17, 2020 (PDT)[edit source | reply | new]

I am having problems with editing. Only "Edit source" will let me edit, and even this option does not seem to be working well. And suddenly my FF browser will not let me edit here due to it not being an HTTPS site? Are you having problems? Trying to use the "Edit" tab, but keep getting the error "Error loading data from server: apierror-visualeditor-docserver-http-error: (curl error: 7) Couldn't connect to server. Would you like to retry?"

Hi there. I think we are all getting the same - it's been raised with the developers since it only started after they did a migration. I found that using https allowed editing in the source code, eg https://www.me-pedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_19 - but it keeps flipping back to http and thinking I am not logged out, so I end up typing https over the top of the address again. This also means we can't get the visual editor to convert links into full references like normal. I am also having issues with editing categories at the bottom of pages - it seems to work but when you go to the category directly, it isn't getting updated (I have moved several pages from the Infectious agents to Infectious diseases categories). I am not sure if others are getting this too. Ben from MEAction is talking with the developers on this. Btw: it should let you edit most pages with http but still show up as an anonymous edit, pages with some protection eg the primers or CFS page soupy need you to log in (and use https). It's very frustrating. ~Njt (talk) 12:09, April 17, 2020 (PDT)

Slack -- Fireballsky (talk) 20:21, October 30, 2020 (UTC)[edit source | reply | new]

I could check out the Slack for the devs. I don't always get notified when you reply to my messages. So I just now saw your message regarding this.

Thanks

Hi User:Fireballsky. I think it might be Ben H. who adds people to the Slack channel, there should be contact details on the MEAction website. Some of the things at the top of the list on MEpedia:Suggested tasks are for the for to upgrade MediaWiki and looking at adding some extra extensions. There's an option in your user preferences to get emailed when someone tags you on a page or for edits to pages you are watching. I usually just check the Talk are on Recent Pages on the left menu myself. There's also a "pages in need" option that suggests small tasks. ~Njt (talk) 00:18, November 3, 2020 (UTC)

Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 -- Loopy (talk) 13:20, April 24, 2021 (UTC)[edit source | reply | new]

The page Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase seems to be spelled incorrectly. It should be indolamine-2,3-dioxygenase.

There is an extra "e" for the page name on MEpedia.

See the Abstract info on this study. https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4418/9/3/82/htm


--Loopy (talk) 13:20, April 24, 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out User:Loopy. I checked with the source cited in that page, and it appears that both spellings are used. I've added the additional spelling to the page and cited the article you mentioned. Sorry for the slow response. ~Njt (talk) 19:42, June 1, 2021 (UTC)

A new Ally -- Silliestchris (talk) 17:30, September 25, 2021 (UTC)[edit source | reply | new]

Hello User:Notjusttired, I would like to introduce myself. I see you are a contributor to the MCS page. This is also the primary reason I joined MEpedia. I see the MCS page is protected... very wise move as the other side of the argument would certainly target it for disinformation.

After developing full blast MCS 4 years ago, I have become extremely familiar with the topic from a scientific and Canadian perspective in particular.

Anyway, I've made a couple of suggestions for additions on the discussion page and opened up some new discussions that I anticipate will become more relevant as research progresses.
