Complex[change source]
This page is too detailed and complex for this wiki. It needs a more radical editing of its essential features (retain) and peripheral details (cut out). Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:57, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
- You know what...... The 'article' wasn't touched for 3 years. You write the article and the other guy can add tags it. Maybe you can ask the self-titled "Doc James" for some pointers on writing medical content. Incredible. 7mike5000 (talk) 16:51, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- I think the problem is that we would rather have a simple but less complete article than a complex one. Our entire purpose is to be simple, if the articles aren't simple then they often are better off deleted as they end up scaring away readers who come looking for a simple explanation. -DJSasso (talk) 16:56, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- You know what, one I'm not done, but courtesy doesn't exist in Wikipedia land it's just a word bandied about to the convenience of some. Informative does not translate to complex. And a half-a**ed article does not translate as simple. Notice I was creating Illustrations to EXPLAIN concepts? To remphasize I WAS NOT DONE- oops am I shouting, me culpa.

- Let me clue you on something read the English Wikipedia article on Migraine it's a mishmash of dijointed facts, that could be a trigger for migraine just looking at it. I can,t do anything there because the purpose of blocks is to prevent useful contributions to articles and maintain the status quo of incompetence. Sooooooooooooooo I am trying to do something useful here for the whole 3 people who read the Simple English Wikipedia per day. You people don't even have the courtesy of talking directly to others, come off like know-it-alls and yet despite the alleged concern do absolutely nothing positive about what you are allegedly so concerned about, like make an illustration. So delete my articles mister snarky I don't want to scare anybody with KNOWLEDGE and block me too if you want, you don't need a valid reason just ask Heilman. 7mike5000 (talk) 17:23, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- You want people to be courteous to you and yet you attack anyone that is trying to help you? Good luck with that. I should point out to you WP:ONESTRIKE since you have already most likely used your one strike. But I will give you this chance to please tone down the hostility and try to work together with people instead of freaking out when they don't agree with how you have done things. -DJSasso (talk) 17:29, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Precisely what I am talking about. That's courteous? That's the way to help people? Making rude comments no matter how veiled they are "if the articles aren't simple then they often are better off deleted" and then making threats not based on fact but because you can. I read Wikipedia:How to write Simple English pages and the part about "The language is simple, but the ideas don't have to be".. Simple English does not translate into Simple Minded, even young children can understand fairly complex ideas if explained, I am trying to do that; I have to work on simplifying the language not the concepts.
As far as the block on the English Wikipedia it was done by somebody who misused the administrator tools, specifically the rev-delete tool as I was correcting the lede on the Anxiety article. So that's a big no-no right there. I have a personal history with him, another no-no. The administrator who seconded him who doesn't has two articles to his name. When I try to defend myself he restricts my access to the talk page.
I'm not supposed to get pissed off over boorish, rude and obnoxious behavior. As far as the Simple English article on Migraine, nobody cared about even adding one simple reference to it[1], it was one paragraph, unreferenced with two tags. Somebody takes an active interest, then the critics all of a sudden pop up. What's a headache diary? A basilar migraine? A menstrual migraine? you can't find that out on the English Wikipedia but you can on the Simple English Wikipedia.
And commenting on content is admissible am I correct? Have you written any medical articles? When my block occurred on the English Wikipedia there was a West Nile Virus epidemic in the United States, the Wikipedia article was right under the CDC's and sometimes on top and it was poorly done with of course tags on it. I rewrote the entire thing with images. Wikipedia's article on suicide is the first one NOBODY availed themselves to make use of it to provide information to get through to people, like there is treatment that works, I did. Silent stroke affects millions, no mention on Wikipeda at all, I wrote it, Depression (differential diagnoses), affects the lives of millions, I wrote it, the neurological affects of Foster care, I wrote it, etc. etc. Yet I get blocked by people who have written little if anything and threatened. Blocks are supposed to prevent disruption to Wikipedia not as punitive actions and not because somebody feels like it.
So what's my disruption on the English Wikipedia, none whatsoever. The block disrupted Wikipedia because the medical articles I was writing have not been touched since, like Skull bossing, Pituitary adenoma, Child abuse (skin signs). So who got screwed? Me or people looking for information, Am I being disruptive here? Obviously not. So your threat of block does what? Prevents or creates disruption?
Simple courtesy, I am, or depending on whether you act on your threat, was in the process of trying to create a resource for people who have a limited English vocabulary, including trying to gain proficiency in at least simple medical illustrations of which there is a paucity of public domain images. I an not done. Unless those who feel comfortable putting in the two cents also want to get involved in a constructive fashion they should refrain from criticising. 7mike5000 (talk) 00:01, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
