The sentence "People with BDD have a very high suicide rate compared to all mental problems" needs a citation--Bärliner 15:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

But it says that on EN Wikipedia. IamR 15:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
ENWP is not a source, it repeats a source, --Bärliner 15:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
So are you saying someone put it on EN incorrectly? Oh, also, the reference I found (its on here) wasnt correct from EN, but i've corrected it here... it may be necessary to correct the one on EN using the one I corrected here. IamR 15:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
I an editing SEWP, I am not saying anything about ENWP. If you want to put a controversial statement on SEWP you should cite a proper source. Read the ENWP article.--Bärliner 15:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
But if you are saying it needs a source, then surely the same should apply to ENWP as well, and it should be removed there too...? IamR 16:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Revert

That paragraph is there twice and one of them should be removed. · Tygrrr... 16:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re-worded a bit, may not fit but could work. --Gwib -(talk)- 16:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
I don't think you re-worded the paragraph I was talking about, Gwib. The paragraph in question was removed by me [1], returned by IamAr [2], and then removed by IamAR [3]. It's fixed now but I was right. · Tygrrr... 16:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
and I hope it stays out this time. Iamandrewrice has asked me for help with some of the references here, so I will keep checking to see what he is adding, and remind him to simplify.--Bärliner 16:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

the pictures on the page aren't exactly that good

but i couldn't find anything better on commons... any suggestions? IamR 21:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Complicated

change

I think there is too much explanation of how a person with BDD may feel before the unexperienced reader who wants to understand the main features will look at the contents where he may find what he really looks for. (To be honest I have the feeling there is some repetition in the first chapter as well. But I won't argue.) --Cethegus (talk) 20:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes you are right... there is some repetition in the first section of things that are mentioned later on... i will try go thru it... (again ¬_¬ lol) I-R 21:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Overall

Too long, sentences too long and too complex. Overall not simple enough. Macdonald-ross (talk) 13:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
