Alternative Medicine?

Hey CFCF (great band btw),

I don't want to go "bold" and change the infobox title back to just "Alternative medicine" since you seem to watch the page often, but didn't the consensus on the talk page discussion end with "no consensus to change title," which means that we're not supposed to change it to "Alternative and pseudo-medicine?" I don't want to take side on this issue, and obviously this is quite a controversial one, but I think we need to conform with the consensus and stick with "Alternative medicine" until further discussion can take place. Let me know what you think. --AsianHippie (talk) 05:39, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

The infobox reads "Alternative medicine", not entirely sure what you are referring to. Carl Fredrik talk 09:51, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
My bad. I'm referring to the Template:Alternative_medicine_sidebar. I saw on the talk page of it that concluded a discussion on changing the template title to "Alternative and pseudo-medicine" with "no consensus on changing the current title." Any explanation is much appreciated. --AsianHippie (talk) 00:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Yes, the title was not changed from Alternative and pseudomedicine, i.e. we continue to include both. Carl Fredrik talk 10:26, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Edit notice at WT:MED

I'm not wild about {{Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine}}. Have you tried editing WT:MED with "New wikitext mode" enabled at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures? Edit notices appear as pop-ups, which is great (better than the older wikitext editors) at getting people to read them, but very annoying when you edit the same page, and therefore get urgently warned about the same issues, over and over and over again. (They're also invisible to people using Mobile Web, but that's not a lot of the traffic for that talk page.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:04, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

What do you propose? It might be a tad long, but that is only because I did nothing to rewrite it upon implementing. That one is warned about the same issues over and over again may be worth talking to the team working on the feature about (maybe you should suggest a "do not show again" box). Carl Fredrik talk 20:11, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
How about just removing it entirely? It's redundant (the material is copied from the top of the page), it addresses problems that we don't actually have (when was the last time you remember seeing a request for medical advice on that page?), and nobody reads it (because banner blindness is a thing).

Neck manipulation

Hi CFCF! Just noticed you reverted some of my old edits in Neck manipulation. In my opinion the wording of the Risks section is pretty biased as it shows a risk without citing properly that the mentioned risk is admittedly minuscule. My sources were not meant to disprove a chance of VBA, but rather show it's incredible unlikelihood of occurring. I'm going to add in a simple sentence to the end of the paragraph which I think, in hindsight, will work better. Let me know if this is ok. I know you are a medical student and likely wary of chiropractic (look, I get it) but removing well-sourced information isn't the purpose of Wikipedia, even if personal opinions differ. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 12:43, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey again! Sorry for the double post, I have went ahead and made some changes to the article. I think you'll find my changes non-biased and well-sourced. I added in the lead some information found elsewhere in the article and found additional citations for those in addition, just in case any of it could be construed as controversial. Hope you agree with my changes, please let me know where we can improve on the page rather than reverting them all. Thanks! SEMMENDINGER (talk) 20:06, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Dead link

Hi Carl—what an interesting user page you have. I'm getting the sense that you do really valuable work on en.WP. Thank you!

I see that you added a few images to the article "Lateral pterygoid". I know my lateral pterygoids only too well, unfortunately. My question is whether the tufts anatomical link, which appears to be dead, has a new URL, or is not worth bothering with, or perhaps you can suggest an equivalent. Should I remove it from the External links section?

My very best,

Tony (talk) 13:42, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Tony1 — feel free to remove such links even if they are in the format of templates, if you do not find them useful. Unfortunately many old rests from Wikipedias infancy remain in anatomy articles, as there is quite a small community curating them. Good to see you working on them :), keep it up. Carl Fredrik talk 23:25, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Neck Manipulation

Hey again, what issue did you take with those sources removed here? All were formatted correctly and all clearly supported the sentence I had before them. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 00:58, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Semmendinger They are unacceptable per WP:MEDRS. Carl Fredrik talk 06:26, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
Good deal, thanks for the information. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 11:02, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Disingeneous to pidgeonhole

Hej, vad betyder "disingeneous to pidgeonhole"?--LittleGun (talk) 11:11, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a Move review of 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. ( I'm pasting this template as requested per the instructions at WP:MR). I would have waited (for your response), but Hzh suggested I put the move to review sooner rather than later. Sorry and Regards) Sean Heron (talk) 23:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm totally uninterested in participating Sean Heron. Starting a review is only a waste of time — which was what I wanted to avoid by closing the RM. I do not see anything that I did being out of the ordinary or wrong and have nothing to contribute to a review. Carl Fredrik talk 02:48, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Sean Heron — I've now responeded regardless, but would like to make you aware that I find this to be tedious and not a good use of anyone's time. Carl Fredrik talk 03:21, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I've been reluctant to reply while things were still ongoing (I've been involved in too many not so nice disagreements here over the years - nothing to do with you personally!). Just wanted to say I honestly didn't mean to be disruptive, and that my view still is that the review was useful - of course I may be misjudging, but I had the feeling it helped catalyse the discussion on the move that now went through. (I guess you might also view your "close" as being a part of that catalysis, so with hindsight I guess I see it in a more friendly light than when I put it to review!).

At the same time I can definitely see your honest intentions when you closed the RM, so I certainly hold no hard feelings! Hope the whole thing wasn't all too frustrating, and best regards, Sean Heron (talk) 23:22, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Sean Heron — No hard feelings for me either. I'll leave you with the odd thought that … maybe … the article was moved faster than if the RM had been left open. Carl Fredrik talk 17:07, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
