Hi Leopardtail, how are you? Looks like u may not have been editing recently, but there’s a really important issue up for discussion- whether to change the title of the CFS article to “ME/CFS.” We could use the perspective of an informed editor like you… “It has been proposed in this section that Chronic fatigue syndrome be renamed and moved to Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.” Talk:Chronic fatigue syndrome#Requested move 15 April 2023
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcitriol - the start of this article is far too technical. It also needs reference to action of parathyroid hormone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.75.120 (talk) 18:00, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the shout-out. I listened to the audio for the article when it came out but not since, but that rings a bell about a 'tiny minority' of users. Thanks for working on editing the CFS page, it is extremely important and we don't have enough people working on it obviously. I currently don't have time for it as i have been fighting the IoM redefinition and am crashed. Best of luck with your treatment! JustinReilly (talk) 21:00, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Could we perhaps start by identifying our shared objectives and individual concerns and actually move this forwards?
While there is great confidence in the science for some here with regards to CBT/GET, this is by no means a consensus here or in wider science. First this page treats ME and CFS as synonymous - THEY ARE NOT. It is not even widely agreed that ME is a subset of CFS though they are all too often used synonymously, that aspect of the introduction is quite correct. Ellen Goudsmit has givn her expert opinion on this issue in the BMJ along with the distinction between the effect of CBT/GET on patients. She expresses the expert view that for patient's meeting the stricter ME definitions (e.g. Canadian) this combination is more likely to do harm - I have witnessed such harm first hand hence for me this issue is far more than academic. She further expresses the view that for patients meeting the more lax CFS definitions the likelihood of benefit is raised. Surveys of patients show very roughly an even split between no effect, benefit seen, and harm caused.--91.84.93.126 (talk) 15:50, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi Leopardtail. Just FYI, interspersing answers in someone else's comments isn't very commonly done on Wikipedia. While it does make it clear what you're responding to, it also makes it difficult to read the conversation as it actually progressed, and in many cases, causes a "diff" (difference between revisions) to fail, making it nearly impossible to figure out what you've changed. Interspersed responses are used on rare occasions, usually for a small aside in the context of a larger discussion, or when there are clear delineations of the topic already (like responding to someone else's comments on voting pages where the initial vote is the delineator), but that's about it. Generally speaking, it's preferable to respond as if you were responding to a letter: quote a portion of the original, cite the person's name, or mention the specific subject that you're responding to as part of your response. – RobinHood70 talk 22:28, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
