I'm only on every few weeks, and I will tend to avoid looking at messages for quite a while. It may take me a month or more to respond to anything.

WikiProject Medicine
==Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!==
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
- The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages!
Even though I am a psychologist, I have found WP:MED to be much more active, and therefore much more helpful to me as I've learned the ropes. Feel free to ask me any questions. All the best - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 15:53, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- From your user page, it sounds like you might also be interested in joining the small group of editors at Wikipedia:WikiProject Disability. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:42, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- oops I thought I already had. Thank you for the reminder!

Quick note
Hey, just saw your message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Psychiatry task force, and went ahead and created User:Xurizuri/Gender differences in ADHD for you to use as a sandbox/playspace to get it sorted out how you want it to look, etc before officially making it a new article. That way it'll look impressive when people first become aware of it ;) I think just calling it "gender differences" is better than "women and..." since then you'll have people pointing out we don't have "men and..." articles, etc. HLPD (talk) 19:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for doing that! That's a good alternate name, I was struggling with it. --Xurizuri (talk) 04:08, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Be aware that medical/health topics are held to a high standard for what qualifies as reliable source references. See WP:MEDRS for guidelines. David notMD (talk) 14:29, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Also, consider improving Epidemiology of attention deficit hyperactive disorder or the Epidemiology section of Attention deficit hyperactive disorder rather than a separate article. Or else copy content and refs from those to put in your draft. (copying within Wikipedia is allowed as long as the Edit summary is explicit in where content was copied from.). P.S. My daughter diagnosed as ADHD, so familiar with the situation firsthand. David notMD (talk) 14:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
You were correct about this page in your comment to me on the Typo Team Moss project. The brackets weren't for an acrostic, they were just for lower case letters. I must have been doing two things at the same time when I wrote that. I removed the remaining brackets because they aren't in the titles. Thanks.

Metaxyonycha/Colaspis
Hi, I noticed you edited Metaxyonycha just now. The species lists in this page as well as Colaspis (and other Eumolpinae pages) are largely from my own divings into the literature for the species involved, so if there's any real mistake it's my fault.
Apart from that though, I tried to explain in the articles themselves for these two, but the two genera were apparently historically confused. It seems in 1950, Jan Bechyné took Metaxyonycha as being a synonym of Colaspis in 1950, based on Colaspis testacea Fabricius, 1801 as the type species for Colaspis, while moving all the species of Colaspis itself into a new genus named "Maecolaspis" based on the type species Chrysomela flavicornis Fabricius, 1787. However, it turns out Bechyné actually got it wrong, as in fact Chrysomela flavicornis is the correct type species for Colaspis, so Maecolaspis is a synonym of Colaspis and "Colaspis" as defined by Bechyné is actually Metaxyonycha.
From the above I assumed anything referring to Colaspis from 1950 onwards in Bechyné's publications actually was Metaxyonycha, including the entire species checklist in "Notas sobre el género Colaspis (Col. Phytophaga Eumolpidae)" by both Bechynés in 1960. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much of that can be considered original research or not. Even worse, I don't think the mixup between the two genera has been fully fixed even now. It's all a big mess and I wish there was at least some complete uptodate checklist with all the names corrected, but sadly there isn't one yet. Monster Iestyn (talk) 05:01, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- Some time back I did manage to find an online version of Flower's 1996 article, which contains a list of all Central American Eumolpinae including the two genera here, it's archived on Wayback Machine here: [1]. On the other hand, the South American species have largely not been talked about since Bechyné's time, frustratingly. Monster Iestyn (talk) 05:14, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
@Xurizuri: hi are you active? I don't really want to sit on this for weeks on end, so I may decide to revert your changes soon unless you have a better idea about dealing with these species. Unfortunately in the end, it's a mess left behind by leaf beetle experts of the past because of poor communication between each other, and I made an attempt to make sense of it all. Monster Iestyn (talk) 18:43, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Monster Iestyn: Oh oops sorry! I'm very bad at responding to things, my eyes kinda skip over the top bar... No worries about reverting it, you've clearly done heaps more active research than I did and have a far more informed opinion. I typically rely on taxonomy databases because of the basic nightmare you've described, especially GBIF because it has a lot of others indexed. But from memory, I got confused because I couldn't really find what was on the page on a few databases and the citations seemed to confirm there was an issue. But that makes sense as a conclusion on your part, and explains that discrepancy. I do think that'd be original research in other fields, but honestly who knows with taxonomy - I think your conclusion does fit within the ISO taxonomy standards. By any chance, have you asked the relevant WikiProject/s? They may be able to say if it's OR in this context. And thank you for taking the time to explain the reasoning to me! --Xurizuri (talk) 02:26, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for responding. No, I haven't asked any WikiProjects about it yet. I probably ought to have done so years ago, but I never really thought whether I was handling this kind of problem the right way that much until the last year or so. Glad to clear things up anyway. =) Monster Iestyn (talk) 02:38, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Naomi Higgins
Hello Xurizuri,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Hatchens, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Naomi Higgins, for deletion, because there's already a page about that topic at Draft:Naomi Higgins. Please don't be discouraged; we appreciate your effort in creating new articles. To avoid this in the future, consider using the search function to find pages that already cover what you want to write about.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hatchens}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
