Hello. I'm sure you have grammatical reasons for these changes. Regardless, please do not change them when they are quotations, such as here The JPStalk to me 14:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I see now. Thank you.

"It can be to a greater or lesser degree treatable, depending on the severity, but cannot be cured."
Hmmm, is that well-defined and documentable? Does the severity depend only on the amount of the phase delay, or also on the patient's flexibility, age or psychic condition? Obviously, I'm playing devil's advocate here, but I do wonder. --Hordaland (talk) 17:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Yes, we have each other pegged and are on the same page and all that. On WP, as you know, editors must avoid Original Research, Point of View, etc., which in a way is a bother but I feel it's also good for me to have to document verifiability. Also, just to mention it, I feel it's important to not rock the boat re: the external link to our mailing list; such online support groups have been disallowed in articles about other disorders.
The article already has one severity definition: The ICSD's severity criteria, all of them "over at least a one-month period", are:
There, they've used both amount of delay and degree of "impairment of social or occupational functioning." Pretty good, actually, though I think some people with a 2-hr delay experience severe impairment while some people with 4-hr delay have adjusted their lives so that the societal impairment is only mild to moderate. The terms mild and severe are also mentioned in the section on Adaptation.
We're generally quite defensive about the psychiatric comorbidities that 50% of us have, and I feel we should try to be a bit less so, but it's a fine line. It's only recently that CRDs (except for SAD) have been moved from psychiatric to neurological. There seems to be growing acceptance for the concept that the CRD in society is the cause of (at least some of) the psychiatric conditions rather than vice versa.
You write: I would think it is important for people who read the Wikipedia page to also not get their hopes up that they are going to be able to be easily cured if they do in fact, have it. I agree absolutely. All too many of the Ask-the-Doctor type sites indicate that with good sleep hygiene and maybe a bit of bright light you're good to go. Ha! --Hordaland (talk) 20:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Regarding your question about organizations- we found the information and have incorporated a chart. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 11:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Religious indoctrination. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Kilmer-san (talk) 02:19, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Was with referring to: "Religious indoctrination is particularly effective on children and on insecure individuals, as they can lack a set self-image and/or have low self-esteem, as well as be more easily pressured by authority figures. Many religions have commitment ceremonies aimed at children 12 years and younger, such as Bar Mitzvah and Confirmation; and others have rituals in the form of emotional/social assessments like Scientology. The unusual situation exists in secular societies where children who in no other circumstances would be regarded as able to form a reasoned commitment to an ideology (such as political etc.) or sign a contract, are expected to commit to religious teachings with affirmations in public."mmortal03 (talk) 14:50, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
That paragraph actually came from another already existing page on Wikipedia, Indoctrination, so it isn't my own viewpoint. I found it to touch on religious indoctrination issues somehow not included in the actual religious indoctrination article, so I slightly edited it and appended it there for consistency of information across the two pages. My editing of it was so that it would be MORE neutral (as it previously made a claim about the intentions of the mentioned religious organizations). I agree that it needs to have citations added to it when someone gets to that, but I think it is general enough in its points, and I don't think it is inherently biased or controversial such as to prompt omission. Let's discuss this further here regarding the specific contents that you find questionable, and then make a decision on editing it to make it mutually agreeable.mmortal03 (talk) 02:47, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that you caught some further leftover vandalism in the Gus Malzahn article that I missed when I was doing some cleanup. Thanks for being so observant! Risker (talk) 05:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you created this Category:National Basketball Association players from Cameroon. While creation of such a category will not be a problem, please bear in mind that a player such as Joel Embiid does not belong in such a category until he has played in a regular season or postseason game in the NBA. - Hoops gza (talk) 19:43, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Irshad Manji, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Egyptian and Gujarati. 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.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:31, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
