Silent flute man

I took out the statement about the silent flute man; that article was deleted here as not verifiable. It is still not verifiable so far as I can see, and unverifiable references to his "believed" condition shouldn't be used in other articles, either. Kafziel 23:11, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amnestic

The word amnestic redirects here in several articles but the word isn't used anywhere in the article.

Vandalism

Just noticed the page seems to be rife with "dumbasses" and one or more people talking.

I just edited some vandalism out also. The guy might be simply changing computers to vandalize... Does anyone else think so? Kennard2 00:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wordings

I don't know whether it's right to label source amnesia a "memory disorder", isn't it a quite common phenomenon, even among the unimpaired?

whoops, didn't notice retrograde amnesia was already mentioned. My mistake. Just to be clear, although H.M.'s main problem was anterograde amnesia (he still presumed he was 18-something, and presenting him with a mirror would give him great distress, seeing his withered face), he also had light retrograde amnesia I believe (up until two weeks before the surgery in which his hippocampal area was removed).

Dissociative amnesia

Just a passerby here. If this Amnesia page is a pseudo disambiguation page, why does Dissociative amnesia link to this same article? At the very least, if there's no separate page for it, it doesn't make much sense to link back to "amnesia." There's only about 2 sentences about it here. [unknown user]

separately, this page suggests that dissociative amnesia is different from retrograde. i think they're effectively the same, no? 71.234.109.192 03:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Curious about personalities

Juxtapozbliss 23:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC) Something i was wondering about, that perhaps someone could address for this article...what are the common effects on the personality of someone who experiences amnesia. Is their personality fairly consistent? Or does it sometimes change radically? It would be interesting to see what effect memory has on personality...or is it mostly driven by something else.[reply]

Incomplete Sentence

The line about Transient Global Amnesia is incomplete. It reads "Transient Global Amnesia is a well described medical and clinical phenomenon. This form of". Could someone who actually knows about this stuff fix it please? Sailorknightwing 03:11, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

fr:Amnésie sélective de guerre

Hello, have you an article such as "War's Amnesia: Amnesia about wars and Wars' crims". French have one article, explaning that people, government, soldiers may voluntary or unvolontary have a global amnesia about things happen in war time. Have you, on the english wikipedia, something about that ? and then may you add the french interwiki link. Thanks 61.228.29.8 (talk) 10:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
