Talk:Narcissistic personality disorder/Archive 2

message: Initially, the talk on this page is a squabble regarding permission to quote and/or paraphrase the DSM-IV-TR. The talk then segues to a discussion involving IPs, and whether or not Sam Vaknin is actually a Macedonian woman. Following we have a who can delete whom first and faster pissing match, that culminates with the posting of Zeraeph's personal information, presumably by Sam Vaknin, who heretofore was attempting to post with an alternate ID or anonymously. When was this talk ever about Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Am I missing something? Or, is a certain participant presenting with various aspects of the DSM-IV-TR NPD diagnostic criteria in action? 72.16.41.16 17:22, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Could we get back Narcissistic personality disorder now?

message: [Somebody keeps putting this site up on "external links" http://www.chameleongroup.org.uk/npd/index.html it has to be one of the most ill-informed, amateurish sites I have ever seen and I don't think it belongs here. Far better sites have been removed from this article with my heartfelt blessing. Thoughts? .—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.195.137.125 (talk • contribs) .21:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sam,
 
We are inclined to deny Wikipedia permission to use our content as we do not allow anyone to alter our material and we do not want our material posted online. I can assure you that we have complete rights to our material and Fair Use does not apply to DSM material or any other APA/APPI content. Please forward any permission letters, previously obtained, to me for review.
 
Thanks
 
Chad

thread_title: No permission to reprint DSM critera

message: I have just realized that another poster was using this same IP (a router with many users) on 23rd November with very negative effects. This was NOT me. I continue to use this IP without logging in because I do not feel safe to identify myself further around the followers of Sam Vaknin, and if anyone knows a nicer way to put that truthfully, feel free to edit my comment without sanction but I really doubt that such is possible.
Unless (and I do not recall with any certainty whether I did or not) I posted while logged in, from a totally different IP on one quite different topic, over a year ago, (rather mundane) I had never posted ANYTHING on Wikipedia before yesterday.
Perhaps people would like to factor that into their thinking before continuing? .—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.195.137.125 (talk • contribs) . 21:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Something I Should Clear Up

message: As a lot of information was lost during a talk page edit I have saved the old version in archive 1 and deleted duplicate content from this page.
On 4 December  uploaded a version of the page that had beed approved by the Nupedia psychology editorial board. Today,  has been editing the article heavily without actually indication what concerns there are about the content. Some discussion will be taking place below.

thread_title: Refactored

message: Why are the entries that are only a day old (Dec. 9-12) being archived? Comments that young may still be relevant and should be replaced. --DanielCD 17:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: My thoughts exactly, hiding the problem here will never solve it --82.195.137.125 17:25, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This has nothing to do with hiding the problem. As a result of Sam's edit much information was lost. I restored this in the archive and removed sections here that were duplicate with that page. If you think certain points should be addressed you are free to move these sections back to this page.

replies: text: Ok. I just thought someone might be being a little overzealous about archiving. I can see there was some kind of mishap. Thx. --DanielCD 19:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Isn't the definition of Megalomaniac is someone delusional about power. MegaloManiac 13:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it is. A truer modern synonym would be "pathological compulsion to control". It's quite different to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. --Zeraeph 19:44, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It should have and I meant to research and reinstate it...so much wikipedia, so little time...so I have reinstated the last stub Megalomania (without the lists, see talk, decent article first, THEN lists...) let's see if we can get a good solid article up there in the next few days? --Zeraeph 11:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wait(Megalomania) 

message: Mnemonics are common in the medical literature. So, I think they ought to be apart of Wikipedia.  They make things more memorable. 
Examples from PubMed -- that is the medical literature:
*Pinkofsky HB. Mnemonics for DSM-IV personality disorders. Psychiatr Serv. 1997 Sep;48(9):1197-8. . See article on antisocial personality disorder.
*International Myeloma Working Group. Criteria for the classification of monoclonal gammopathies, multiple myeloma and related disorders: a report of the International Myeloma Working Group. Br J Haematol 2003;121:749-57. . See article on multiple myeloma. 
*Nakamura T, Higashi SI, Tomoda K, Tsukano M, Sugi K. Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-CREST overlap syndrome with coexistence of Sjogren's syndrome and thyroid dysfunction. Clin Rheumatol. 2006 Feb 22; .  See article on CREST syndrome.
*Thapliyal N, Shukla PK, Kumar B, Upadhyay S, Jain G. TORCH infection in women with bad obstetric history--a pilot study in Kumaon region. Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2005 Oct;48(4):551-3. . See article on TORCH infections.
*Cobb WM. Facial mimetics as cranial nerve mnemonics. J Natl Med Assoc. 1972 Sep;64(5):385-96. . See article on Cranial nerves.
I see no reason the mnemonic should have been deleted, thus I re-inserted it. Nephron  T|C 23:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
