Please refrain from removing my material about Dutch research into "picture thinking" from Visual thinking, it looks like a very non NPOV attempt to sensor the article. If you look at the early history of the article it resembled the current Dutch version nl:beelddenken, it talks almost exclusively about picture thinking, -not- visual learning! The US article was originally also created to be about "picture thinkers", but all of that has been stripped during recent years untill nothing was left, and the article was only about the fact that 60% of the population use visual learning styles, which might be true, but is not what the article was created for, or what is most relevant.
The developments in the Netherlands concerning the discovery of the phenomenon of the existance of "picture thinkers" is considered very important here, especially by the people who now start to discover this previously unknown fact about themselves. I am such a person myself, and my sister found that two of her three children have the same "problem". Luckily because picture thinking is now a well-known phenomenon in the Netherlands the teachers of her kids knew about the phenomenon, and could give her children the right kind of help. I am aware that in the US the phenomenon is relatively unknown, or there is not much "belief" in the reality of it, but here the situation is totally different, which is a very -good- thing in my opinion.
I would like very much that picture thinking is taken seriously, and that much more research is being done, but for that to happen people should know about the fact that such research -is- being done in the Netherlands. therefore i ask you to not remove this fact from the wikipedia article.

I have no problem with your perspective, hence the removal wasn't personal, its just that it was completely written as opinion and the references were not reliable by wiki standards your references function as advertisements so if you could find ACADEMIC references (ie in academic journals, not in the individual works of specific private authors), government agencies (not private consultancies) these would verify FACT as distinct from OPINION
Happy Holidays! Thanks for your contributions. Articles are kept based on notability as demonstrated by including citations to reliable sources such as articles and book. Let me know if I can be of any help. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Please see my comments on the talk page before replacing your edits to dissociative identity disorder. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 12:12, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
The following section was removed on 5 February 2013 as unreferenced and unsubstantiated; although I would agree with the reasons for removal, I would expect the statement is correct and wonder if substantiating sources might be found:
“Though there are no established preconditions for limerence, there is a high rate of coincidence between limerence, depersonalization/derealization disorders, and dysfunctional attachment environments in childhood. This might suggest that sustained exposure to a psychologically unstable environment in childhood, or unhealthy/incomplete attachment between a child and their caretakers in early life, may make an individual more susceptible to limerence. There is also a statistically significant correlation between limerence and post traumatic stress disorder.” Tablethree (talk) 12:04, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your attention at Burning mouth syndrome
Unfortunately I have to revert your removal of the content
Some consider BMS a psychosomatic illness, caused by cancerophobia or other form of hypochondriasis.<ref name="Kalantzis 2005" />
The edit summary you have left is invalid, as there is a source which supports this content. If you can't accept that, I don't know what else to say.
Regarding your recent additions:
BMS has been found to be correlated with Trigeminal neuralgia (common in MS) [1] with Sjögren's Syndrome[2]
When generating medical content on wikipedia, please familiarize yourself with the sourcing policy: WP:MEDRS. Unfortanately, the first source is a primary source and therefore is unsuitable. The second source (about Sjogren's syndrome) is a secondary source, but from what I can see it does not mention burning mouth syndrome. Note that the article already mentions xerostomia, which in turn links to the SS topic.
Thank you, Lesion (talk) 13:06, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the reply, I have looked at the resources for the suggestions BMS is psychosomatic etc... these resources are books for sale on Amazon. They also don't directly address BMS. I've been through the content and can't find any mention of BMS. At the very least, it is misleading to say 'some consider BMS a psychosomatic illness as it also occurs with nerve damage which is dealt with by a neurologist, not a dentist. Less misleading may be 'some cases of BMS have been thought to be psychosomatic'... but that's like saying some cases of MS have been thought to be psychosomatic.. its a very big statement... and with only Amazon pages (selling books) as the resource that seems to do more disservice to those with the condition than help develop understanding of it.
for example, here is one of the sources... if you do a search for Burning Mouth in regards to this work it is not found http://www.amazon.com/Oral-Maxillofacial-Medicine-Diagnosis-Treatment/dp/0443068186 -- 1210donna
on the Amazon page I did a find for 'burning mouth' and come up with nothing... so I cannot see how the entire chapter was called 'burning mouth syndrome' yet if I search for the term on that page get no results... oh well, you're obviously so committed to that piece of work I'm not going to argue with you.
as for psychosomatic... sure that can also have part physiological causes, but when you put it in the same sentence as hypochondriasis, you are clearly suggesting the cause is not just psychosomatic but mental illness. Fine that you can't see that bias, but so be it.
I did add this reference and mention of TM and BMS but it was removed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15911160 so, sure, so be it. But if I'm looking for all round info and there's so little mention of nerve related conditions and BMS I don't fine this Wiki page then to be balanced.
and sure, I'm probably a complete moron, and clearly you are so aware of what is in the book, but if you could be so kind as to show me where in this text is any mention of 'burning mouth', I would love to know because I've now searched the page three times and can't find any. You say chapter 21 pp 171-176... but I guess I can't see that unless I buy the book... perhaps you own the book and hence you know, perhaps you even wrote the book so of course you would know.
ah.... now you have given me the chapter and page numbers, sure I can find the chapter... I didn't realise I could check inside the context (I don't buy books on Amazon or online) so I'd only done a find on the front page. it must be frustrating to someone as advanced as you to deal with those like me who think we took have a right to contribute. -- 1210donna

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Peripheral neuropathy may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Peripheral neuropathy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Celiac (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
