Talk:Sanguinarian

message: The work you have done thus far is great; they seem to reflect the consensus of the ‘community’. However, since I do not belong to said community, I’d just like to help you out. Thus far I have corrected lots of little things for you, set up a few redirects to make your life easier and today I’m sure ill help out more. However I’m having trouble finding creditable references, e.g. papers, medical journals, books, theses, et cetera. I do not feel that providing only POV web resources is the best, but so far you’ve done great!

message: I dont understand why sanguinarians are only confined to places in the US. Why dont we hear cases of it in Middle East, Russia, Africa etc. like some real diseases like AIDS.--82.194.62.22 12:05, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not confined to the US, but you'll need to be able to read foreign languages to understand the sites from other countries. I suspect some countries don't have the same extent of online-savvy people that countries like the US or UK do, however that doesn't stop individuals from those countries visiting US-based sites and chatting on US-based message boards.

message: * Keep as separate articles, remove duplicate paraphrasing and content about Sangs from lifestyle article, and merge that content to here.
* Change the "lifestyle" title (and content) to something less offensive to Sangs (Vampire_subculture? Vampires_in_modern_culture?), merge this content into that article once a better title is agreed upon.
*Keep bickering. :-) Ronabop 06:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Compromise suggestions 

message: It looks like a bunch of stuff is being added that's not backed up by reliable sources.  Unless proper sources can be found, it should probably be trimmed.  Personal websites are not considered reliable sources- it's too easy for a person to turn an article into their own personal essay that way.  Friday (talk) 16:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: As you can see from recent work I've done in the Renfield Syndrome article, merging it with Sanguinarian clearly doesn't make sense. The Renfield Syndrome is a psychological disease, while the term Sanguinarian is employed by those who think the affliction is physical. Merging the Renfield Syndrome with Sanguinarian would be like merging Hunger with Compulsive overeating, or Dieting with Anorexia nervosa--– sampi (talk•contrib) 07:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm here on behalf of the Cleanup Taskforce. I'm going to try and compile a list of things that need to be done here. There is basic formatting work that needs to be done. Anything else? --Kerowyn 21:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: This article appears to contradict parts of the Vampire Lifestyle article, including the point about its status as a hereditary condition.  Falcon 18:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Where in either article does it state it is a hereditary condition??? What are the contradictions? I can't see any, only in areas that are contested science anyway. Remember that Sanguinarianism contains a particular set of values commonly associated with vampire lifestylers and that most of the content on Vampire Lifestyle does not actually apply at all.

replies: text: There doesn't appear to be a mention of this being a herditary condition in either article. I'll remove the tag. --Kerowyn 18:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: Because we talked about the need for a merge in the past, the article author got all pipssy about it, but facts are that this article is the exact same topic as that other article and it goes against Wikipedia policy to have fork files on the same topic so different people can push different POVs on the same topic. Not to mention that this things has been tagged as needing severe cleanup and verification and so forth since November and it never got done. Instead it starts out right away talking about prannic energy and so-called Energy vampires and assorted poorly worded crap.
If you think anything from this article is worth salvaging, please go into the history and move anything worthwhile to Vampire lifestyle, where the editors are slightly more active and you can come to some sort of agreement on this whole bloodsucking thing instead of having separate POVs in separate locations.
