Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

'tendentious editor with a strongly anti-psychiatry point of view causing trouble'

My introduction to you, and to Misplaced Pages editors, was your starting a discussion of me alleging "'tendentious editor with a strongly anti-psychiatry point of view causing trouble", an assertion that is false and not in compliance with AGF. Your comment made no sense, since all I did was parrot the prevailing view among psychiatrists as to the reasons for the delays in DSM V. The story about the anti-science, bad science, and unscientific elements of psychiatry made "Top 100 Science Stories of 2012" in Discover Magazine, but those of us working in the field have long been aware of the problems, and resulting abuses.

User:AnthonyCole wrote on my talk page, as an explanation of what appeared to be un-thuoghtout reverts of what appeared to me to be well sourced edits, which would in no way be controversial in the field itself. He wrote "We've had a long-term problem here with people harrying the psychiatry pages out of personal grievance or religious (Scientology) zeal. No one here appreciates new editors making many significant controversial changes to many articles in a short time, because it takes time to check and discuss controversial changes". I was unaware of this problem. In this context, a series of rapid edits by me, filled with content from difficult to assess academic sources that would be impossible to verify by reading, at the pace at which I was editing, would not be appropriate.

So you thought I was an antipsychiatry nutcase, and I thought you and others were picking a fight for no reason whatsoever, about edits that would not be controversial in any room filled with psychiatrists. Perhaps we should both act on WP:AGF, not just read and re-read it. ParkSehJik (talk) 03:59, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

I didn't use the word "nutcase". I wrote what you quoted in the title of this section, and everything you have done confirms it. If you want me to AGF, stop fighting with everybody you encounter. Looie496 (talk) 06:09, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Having now read some of that article's history, I introduced the term "nutcase" as WP:Spade describing some of the editors of the past. Who am I fighting with? ParkSehJik (talk) 18:29, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

You are fighting with me here over minor copy-edits that were meant to improve the article. Sorry to hijack your talkpage Looie496 but I may be forced to take Park to ANI and I am looking to see if there are any previous patterns of this behaviour to determine if I am just being unreasonable in my assessment of him/her.Puhlaa (talk) 19:06, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Puhlaa is referring to my restoration of edits of others diffed here. ParkSehJik (talk) 20:58, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

"Very annoying book spam"

My personal theory is that it is a group of students, who all read this Schacter book, and their assignment is to use this book for making additions to articles in Misplaced Pages.... Lova Falk talk 09:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I think there's a good chance you're right, but it's spam nevertheless, and needs to be fought. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 19:56, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanksssss

I left without saying anything due to personal reasons and also a lot of burnt out sensation. Right now I am not really sure if I will stay for long or this will be only temporal until I fix a bit the multiple ssclerosis article. Nevertheless to hear from 3 people that still remember me has been a great experience of coming back. I am sure many things will have changed here in wikipedia and the med-project in all this time. I will try to catch up and ask for help if needed... --Garrondo (talk) 20:32, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Louie Louie Louieee, Louie Louie Louie Lou I-hi-hi / Louie Louie Louieeee-e-he, Louie Louie you're gonna cry.

(Let me know if you don't get the ref -- think Hits of the 70s. Anyway...)

I'm not sure how much I'll be around tmw (Wed), so can you keep an eye on ? This guy's on quite a tear. In fact, you might do better to watch Special:Contributions/87.67.21.139 directly, since in the last 24 hours he's been going through my contributions and reverting randomly. I haven't had time to look at whatever he did to Lobotomy, Persistent vegetative state and Physical punishment so if you want to take a whack at that go ahead, unless of course you're afraid of getting banned .

EEng (talk) 00:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC) P.S. Great about Garrondo, huh? I had these terrible thoughts he'd been hit by a car or something. He seems kinda troubled though, so let's help him not overdo it at first.

P.P.S. He's back at Phineas Gage again. I'll take care of it for now, but it's UTC-2 here and I'll need to get to bed soon. EEng (talk) 01:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I've done some reverting. Let's see what the upshot is. Looie496 (talk) 01:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

He's got two IPs now:

• Special:Contributions/87.67.18.206
• Special:Contributions/87.67.21.139

To bed now. Don't forget to look for your packet of cash (see edit summary here) in the Waterloo Station gents, behind the water pipes, 3rd loo from the left.

EEng (talk) 01:46, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I've opened a section at ANI. Looie496 (talk) 03:39, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
