Nevertheless it's a slow process for one person and if anyone is able to help, I think it would make a great featured article. Despite what you may think there is plenty of academic reference material available on him - look on JSTOR for example if you can, it's just a case of putting it all together into one coherent article.)

- By last check, Nintendo is worth more than
$10 billionand has two of the most successful systems in the industry today, one of them being far more successful than any competitors or even non-competitors. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)- My mistake; they possess >$10 billion. Back when they were in second place to Sony, Microsoft wanted to buy them for $25 billion. And with the DS being more successful than the PS2 in Japan and Europe, and being pretty close in North America, I believe that they would be worth much, much more. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

- The media circus surrounding the article and the intentions of the various editors is enough. As I said on the article's talk page, we as a collective whole as editors and contributors have to demonstrate we can produce articles that are excellent sources of information, that are reliable, non-biased, and ones as a whole, the community can be proud of, and we can use the media attention to show we can produce such article.

- The series of protest are among the largest in Turkish history as well as human history. Mind you, this article is about a current event that has been going on for the past month. There have already been 4 rallies and a 5th one is scheduled for this weekend, another is scheduled for 19 May. It is very overwhelming for a single person to try to maintain this article and I would welcome any assistance. When the rallies come to an end, I hope to have a near feature article. It will be very hard to write about the protests once they conclude. It would loose the historic perspective too. -- Cat chi? 10:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

- The article about ME/CFS is unbelievably poor. This disease, whatever your personal opinion on it, is known to affect 4 million americans and around 1 in 1000 people in Western populations. However, the article is unbelievably long, full of useless and biased information and as a resource is pretty poor. There are also continuing and unresolved arguments over lots of the information, and information about research and upcoming clinical trials, for instance, is mentioned either sparingly or not at all. This article may not interest you personally, but it is important that it is thoroughly improved to make it useful to the public. Please vote! Thedreamdied 01:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Last time I looked (admittedly years ago) the US estimate was 800,000 patients so I think I detect definition/dx criteria creep (not suggesting Thedreamdied is responsible for that; increasingly inclusive diagnostic criteria is seen as a big problem in ME/CFS advocacy). AvB ÷ talk 10:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I was going on the CDC estimate in their recent cfs public information drive, which said 4 million. Thedreamdied 13:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- The CDC have different estimates in different publications. 800,000 sounds about right for the Fukuda definition. More accurate diagnosing should (more quickly) eliminate other diseases than ME from the CFS population and thereby reduce this number. I agree that the article is presently a total mess, it is more a collection of 'my two cents' bits than a proper lemma.--Guido den Broeder 01:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I was going on the CDC estimate in their recent cfs public information drive, which said 4 million. Thedreamdied 13:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- The article is presently filled with poorly verified information added by people with an agenda. We need to be crystal clear on what can be included and what is out. I suggest small case series that have never been cited by a systematic review are not suitable.
- In general I agree however I think that leaves out some very promising recent research such as this small study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed Renwick 01:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
JFW | T@lk 21:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Creating a separate article on ME could help sorting things out, IMHO. The text as it is shows a lot of confusion about the relations between a number of entities. The related lemma on Post-viral fatigue syndrome also needs work.--Guido den Broeder 23:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- You think so? It seems to me that they're all the same thing with different names - hence 'CFS/ME' in the US. Thedreamdied 00:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Having separate articles for ME and PVFS could confuse things even more, a ME or PVFS diagnosis isn't based on diagnostic tests that distinguish them from CFS, but perhaps the difference between chronic fatigue and CFS needs to be further highlighted. - Tekaphor 06:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- They're not quite the same, although they target the same patients. ME is a disease, CFS a syndrome. In practice this means that all ME-patients have CFS, while the diagnosis of CFS is (or should be) a temporary thing until it is established that the patient has ME, or not. Furthermore, some aspects of ME are typically not included in CFS criteria, and there is a long history of ME research from before CFS was even invented. Diagnosing ME is also quite different from diagnosing CFS.--Guido den Broeder 09:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Tekaphor. To me, ME and CFS are broadly different words for the same thing, and thats how they are intended. Chronic Fatigue by itself is a totally different thing, its a symptom and not a disease. Thedreamdied 15:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- They're not quite the same, although they target the same patients. ME is a disease, CFS a syndrome. In practice this means that all ME-patients have CFS, while the diagnosis of CFS is (or should be) a temporary thing until it is established that the patient has ME, or not. Furthermore, some aspects of ME are typically not included in CFS criteria, and there is a long history of ME research from before CFS was even invented. Diagnosing ME is also quite different from diagnosing CFS.--Guido den Broeder 09:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Having separate articles for ME and PVFS could confuse things even more, a ME or PVFS diagnosis isn't based on diagnostic tests that distinguish them from CFS, but perhaps the difference between chronic fatigue and CFS needs to be further highlighted. - Tekaphor 06:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- The article is too large, somewhat fragmented and needs more references for the controversial aspects of it. - Tekaphor 06:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think that its FAR too large - it should be divided up into other articles if necessary, similar to the Multiple Sclerosis article. There also needs to be a much better lead, and the endless 'sniping' where one POV is followed by another is ridiculous. The article should be written from the POV that CFS is real, then there should be a clear section suggesting that some people/doctors believe it isnt. The etiology section is also appalling - the only serious etiologys are "its all in the head", "it doesnt exist at all", gene/immune problems, and persistent low grade viral infections. All the other rubbish is unsourced and really unneccessary. Thedreamdied 15:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- A lot of the stuff in the etiology section may be useful but should be moved to a section called differential diagnosis/diseases with similar symptoms or something (which I think a lot of medical articles on rare/ hard to diagnose diseases should add). Celiac disease and arnold chiari malformation may cause similar symptoms but are definitely not the same thing as CFS/ME, they have their own articles and they do not need a lot of elaboration on the CFS/ME page. Also treatments should be listed in a single section not spead out in the etiology section- treatments for diseases such as celiac disease, allergies, etc. are already mentioned on their respective pages and shouldn't be on the CFS page at all. This section also lists tests such as testing for herpes virus/epstein barr virus, these should be moved to the testing/diagnosis section. Renwick 01:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- There is also enough immunology information to warrant its own subsection. - Tekaphor 03:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Re-Renwick, i do see why it the etiology stuff should be kept, but maybe a seperate article on 'Chronic Fatigue' could have them, and then keep CFS/ME as a seperate page relating only to seriously proposed etiologies. Thedreamdied 13:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps the relevant information can be "strained" out and the rest deleted. - Tekaphor 15:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

- This is an article that is in decent shape so far, and is of personal interest to me for two reasons:
1. I studied this in my GCSE geography.
2. It was also the subject of ITV's Police, Camera, Action! in the 1996 episode The Man Who Shot OJ Programme 2, about the Los Angeles News Service.
Any help would be appreciated if you can: I would like this to be the Featured Article one day. If you want to help me or have any questions, leave a note on my talk page SunStar Net talk 18:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

- It gave its name to a whole age, so is historically crucial and should be better than B-class.

- It could be a really useful article to review the major geopolitical changes of the 20th-21st centuries. There are blanks in the knowledge of all of us (for example, it was a surprise to me that a country named Eritrea exists – because it wasn't until 1993 that it was created and it was just missing from my atlas) and it would be interesting to see how the worldscape differed from the present one just a couple of decades ago and how it changed over time to reach its today's state. There are useful articles available as resources in its "See also" section. Adam78 10:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
