Hey

Praise the Lord, a psychiatrist! Welcome to Wikipedia (I see you've been welcomed before, but one can never be welcome enough). I'm thrilled to see you are addressing the views expressed on some psychiatry-related topics. I've had the honour of defending the medical viewpoint in a few discussions, despite having had fairly limited exposure to clinical psychiatry.

Please let me know if there are any issues I could help with. You have already shown on talk:Psychiatry that the only solution to neutrality debates is evidence, evidence and more evidence. Well done. Cheers. JFW | T@lk 02:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When it comes to what we should perhaps call clinical apologetics, the most important character attribute is patience, followed by persistence. We have several key policies, and citing them judiciously is a vital tool in guiding debates on article content: WP:NPOV (bias issues), WP:NOR (brand new theories and interpretations), WP:V and WP:CITE (accuracy and verifiability issues), and the guidelines WP:AGF (assume good faith) and WP:NPA (no personal attacks). If a debate is unsolveable, early requests for community opinion on WP:RFC can be very helpful. Irrational attacks and undesirable behaviour is best reported on WP:ANI (the administrators' noticeboard).
Alphabet soup, innit? But in the end it's great fun. Having access to a repository of citation is immensely helpful. JFW | T@lk 11:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi !

I just wanted to say "hi" ... I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, a layperson, and have been attemtping (mostly in vain), for about a month, to clean up the Tourette syndrome article. If you ever want to have a look, I could sure use some input ... I'm not a good writer, or a medical professional, but the article was in such dismal shape at the end of '05, that I decided to dig in and do what I could! Sandy 22:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Just wanted to say hi also. I do gastroenterology. Welcome to Wikipedia, look forward to your contribs. -- Samir (the scope) 02:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
