Phases of migraine terminology Migraine history page 2006 10 08T13 23 04 Msteri Talk contribs m Aura phase This was NOT a typo Headache phase is appropriate AND from the source cited Please do not change this again From User talk Milomedes When I typed headache phase that s exactly what I meant It was not a typo Headache phase is as correct as pain phase and headache phase is the terminology used in the source that I very carefully cited Why did you feel it necessary to make this change It makes no sense to me to take up people s time in this fashion Thank you This is a community issue so I m moving it to the talk page Milo First I didn t think it was a typo Both headache phase and pain phase terms are or were in use though I don t know which is used more commonly I do know that pain phase is a better term for three reasons 1 abdominal migraine isn t in the head 2 the headache word is recursively overused 3 ache underdescribes the sensation and 4 pain is shorter You can argue with 2 3 4 but 1 is technically a debate stopper Second with all due respect to your professional writing expertise just because you carefully copied the words that were used in your source doesn t mean that I can t substitute different words that I have reason to think are better I quote from concluding text at the bottom of every edit page Please note If you don t want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others do not submit it Third Wikipedia isn t about you or me I didn t know you wrote it and it shouldn t matter that you did This is an interactive community process If you think I m taking up your time then you probably don t have enough time to write here Furthermore if you assume that anything you write here is still going to be here say 10 years from now then you probably don t understand the nature of Wikipedia As to disagreements about which terminology to use in the article that is usually handled with a talk page poll I respectfully suggest that we use that tool as needed
