[edit] Electroconvulsive therapy

Recently an Anon user started adding negative sounding POV about Electroconvulsive therapy which were repeatedly deleted by several users as being POV and for not giving full references (just a name & date). Being a new user, the Anon was unaware of various WP rules or how to see page's history or talk pages and was temporarily blocked after x6 reverts, I'm happy to assume good faith and don't bite the newcomers. However the issue which remains is that a huge number of references were given (Anon's last edit did mostly give full references) that are difficult for non-specialists to assess. DocJohnny has just spent a huge amount of time writing an analysis of the source and type of each reference that was given. I agree with DocJonny's comment that "Anon has a good point regarding one thing. The original article was poorly cited, rife with name/date citations"

Seeing that you are listed on the WikiProject page as being a Psychiatrist, could you help us assess these references and which are useful: here. David Ruben Talk 03:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hallo David!
I just searched some of the articles. It was obviosly no meaningfull order in this collection of papers. Perhaps he or she did a search with "fatality in ECT" and looked for the oldesd articles of the authors (Gralnick 1944, Jeter 1944, Meyer 1945, Sprague 1948) and collected it randomly. It ist not possible to decide wether this papers are worth to read and to cite them, because Pubmed only lists papers until 1950, and so you will not find easyly an abstract. Do you believe the ip did read this papers? There also mistakes: it is not WW Jeter but WW Jetter. I think that the ip must have manipulated the citations, because the whole text looks as ift is not manualy produced but copied. I wonder wether it is worth to do all the work.

Guten Tag Andy,

I noticed that you are a Doctor working in a psychiatric institution, and thought you might be interested in this project which I am involved in, The Psychology Wiki.

I won't say too much, as I'd like you to judge it for yourself, but you should find that it is different from Wikipedia, because approximately 90% of our contributors so far are psychologists, academics, or students and trainees.

Its hosted by a company called Wikia, which was founded by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. There are Google Ads on the site, but we dont make money from the project, they're just to pay for the bandwidth, storage and technical support that Wikia give us.

Have a look and see what you think

PS We are thinking of translating much of our project in the future. Perhaps you could be useful in this way? Even if you just give us some advice or criticism on how well you think we are doing, that would be great :)
