Happy editing!

I also have noticed that your edits to Alcohol (drug) often did not use an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!

Thank you for your work so far, and I hope to see you around the encyclopedia! EducatedRedneck (talk) 11:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contributions to various articles ont he topics of psychology and psychiatry. Please keep in mind, however, that edits should only be marked as minor when they are correcting obvious vandalism or a typographical error, regardless of the number of words altered. When edits are marked as minor, they generally do not appear in the watchlist for others to review. Kind regards, Димитрий Улянов Иванов (talk) 11:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, that is my bad. I did know this but must have not been paying close enough attention. Thanks for your comment. I also did not know about the watchlist so that’s good to know. Slothwizard (talk) 18:31, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work on Addiction and related articles. Would you be willing to lend a hand with a little project? Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine is trying to get at least one ref into every medicine-related article. The list is getting shorter, but we've still got a bit more than 100 to go, and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/November 2024 ends in just less than a week. If you could add a source to even one or two of them, it would really help us out. Here's how to help:

1. Pick an article from the list. Most of them are organizations, people, or other subjects that do not require any specialized medical knowledge.
2. Find at least one reliable source and add it to the article.
3. Remove or update any maintenance tags at the top of the article.
4. Edit the list to mark off the item or leave some notes about it so the next person will know that this one is done. (Try editing the page in the visual editor, because it's much easier for tables.)
5. That's all!

Also, if you ever need help with medicine-related articles, please feel free to put Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine on your watchlist, and to join the discussion whenever you'd like. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

As a note, per these community-authorized general sanctions, there is a one-revert rule in place for all articles related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, broadly construed. This means that an editor in this area may make no more than one revert per article per 24 hour period, unless an obvious exception applies. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 21:28, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw your edits on High-functioning autism specifically the wikilinks where you put italics on the texts. It's possible to do the same thing without typing the text out after the "|" by putting the italics over the original wikilink, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-functioning_autism&diff=1273192638&oldid=1273002339 Opecuted (talk) 06:07, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I did not realize that happened as I was using the mobile editor, so I’m not sure why the link was piped. Will keep this in mind in the future. Slothwizard (talk) 06:10, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a draft at User:WhatamIdoing/Broader autism phenotype. My goal is to replace the redirect at Broader autism phenotype. Do you have any sources you can recommend for it? WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:07, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Slothwizard, regarding your edit on the Syrian civil war template, that article lacks the activity to discuss as to whether it has ended or not. I added an edit request to change the dates and received 0 replies, hence why I edited it to say that it ended. It was supported by sources. Idk2716639 (talk) 07:26, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your discussion post was unsigned; I wasn’t aware it was yours. The article has some activity so I imagine any comment there won’t go completely unnoticed. The template talk page is actually the same as the original article talk page (it redirects to it), so it will still be visible. The template for Syrian civil war is likely going to be merged into the original article, so hopefully this won’t be an issue anymore.

It would be better to post this in the Syrian civil war talk page and ping me (that way I will be notified) and I can respond there. This is my personal user talk page. Slothwizard (talk) 08:29, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert my sourced edit? Dasomm (talk) 20:52, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am starting to see more sources refer to it as the 12-Day War; maybe it should be added as a note next to the name. It is still too early to add this as an alternative title next in the lead. There are also alternate spellings of it and would like to see how it plays out. Sorry, I should have added an edit summary. Slothwizard (talk) 21:16, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Patar knight. I noticed that you have been adding short descriptions to articles. However, the short descriptions you added are too long to be effective, such as at Schaaf–Yang syndrome. The guideline is that short descriptions should ideally be under 40 characters long, and no longer than needed. For more information, see the short description guidelines. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 00:13, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, thanks for letting me know. I will check character counts going forward. Slothwizard (talk) 00:16, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

the vast majority of the world still uses ICD 10, dsm 5 is a purely american system. the current wording also implies that the disease is no longer diagnosed, when in reality it's just a question of nosology. The same symptomology is very much present but has been split between a number of disorders like somatic symptom disorder, bodily distress, some functional and the functional neurological disorder, wheres the article only mentions the latter 5.44.170.181 (talk) 08:15, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The DSM-5 is used around the world, not just in the US. The DSM is published by the APA, which is what makes it American. The DSM-IV is used in some countries as well, but it is still outdated. I reverted your edit because there were grammatical errors, multiple links that lead to the same article, and issues with WP:REFERS. I will note, as an example, Asperger syndrome is considered an outdated diagnosis despite the fact that the DSM-IV is still sometimes used. Somatic symptom disorder could probably be added to the article, just probably not the first paragraph since it’s not the primary successor and we should not clutter the lead with too much information; it may be more appropriate in the body. "Bodily distress syndrome" is a synonym, adding this is not necessary. Slothwizard (talk) 18:34, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note to say please be careful about edit warring. See WP:EW You have not broken the 3RR, but you are very close and just reverting and being close to the brightline can result in being blocked too! It is often best to just leave things for a while when things get heated like that. Slp1 (talk) 17:45, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it. Slothwizard (talk) 17:46, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Look I don't know what a good picture is I took a lot of time uploading this picture. And this is the first picture I Uploaded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cfpb_headshot-russell-vought_DA8Ama7.original.png I think it's a great picture. It's a picture I don't care about how good it looks.

I am a 28 year old from MI now in SC I am Special Needs Mild ADHD, My girlfriend and my best friend are Special Needs also she has Down Syndrome and he has Depression! I look forward for your reply. Thanks:BobPunk1997 (talk). BobPunk1997 (talk) 20:52, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason many editors have an issue with the image is that it is lower resolution. In Political appointments of the second Trump administration, the original image you replaced, here, is higher resolution and still relatively recent being from 2018. It would not make sense to change the image, even if a new one is uploaded in Commons, unless there's a good reason (e.g., it is higher/same resolution while being recent or being an official portrait). See MOS:IMAGEQUALITY. If you want to discuss with other editors, you can go to the Talk page for Russ Vought article and the one I just mentioned.

Just as a warning, please do not violate the three revert rule, which you may have, as it may cause your account to be temporarily blocked by an administrator. Editing while not logged in will not negate this rule.

I myself have autism and ADHD, which I am being treated for. I do relate to this struggle. I can see you have a lot on your plate, so I hope you take care. Let me know if anything, thanks. Slothwizard (talk) 22:30, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But my addition, of the (3) to 4 fold increase in the for humans important cortex-regions is written two blogs above in the same pharmacological section of this article. The rest of the content is just a logical deduction, see, neurodevelopemental disorder, functional impairments, you can discuss about these terms, yet is it not findable in any other descriptions for the main disorders in the common population, not even in borderline- or schizophrenic disorder describtions. I also thought my edit repairs in this way a bit the scientific consensus of the complete distingtion between IQ scores and disorders. Any patient with every disorder can everytime perform every possible IQ score humanely reachable. 2001:9E8:9090:6300:6DD3:6940:B1FF:8529 (talk) 11:08, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph you added is unclear and, more importantly, unreferenced. Citations can be re-used, but they must always be present. Slothwizard (talk) 17:57, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
