thread_title: Article too "list-y"

message: I agree that the existing references aren't the best ones out there, but perhaps it may be reasonable to leave them in place for now until better ones are found.  Andrew73 20:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease can often occur simultaneously with Hydrocephalus [1,2,3], and can be due to the effects of Hydrocephalus [2,4,5,6]. The Parkinson's Disease symptoms may be caused by increased intracranial pressure reducing blood flow to the basal ganglia where dopamine is produced [6].

message: What is the difference between parkinsons disease and parkinsonism? I am a CNA and I currently work with a patient who was diagnosed with parkinsonism 2 years ago. We go to a support group once a month. But I haven't quite grasped the difference between the two. Can you help me understand the difference?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.184.128.15 (talk) 02:01, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  parkinsons vs parkinsonism 

message: I'm not certain if "pseudoparkinsonism" is a correct term, I personally believe it is a misnomer. Webster online dictionary gives it a definition.  When I search for Parkinsonism I get about the same definition as pseudoparkinsonism.  "Secondary Parkinsonism" is used currently and I suspect will replace pseudoparkinsonism.  
Parkinson's is not specific for disease or syndrome.  
Parkinsonism is specific for syndrome.  When someone has parkinsonism they can present in a similar manner as parkinson disease. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:CommonMed (talk • contribs) 00:23, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The text for the link from the Muhammad Ali page is "Parkinson's syndrome". At the destination page there is usually a note that like "redirects from...". I am not finding details on how to implement this, otherwise I would do it myself. Arbalest Mike (talk) 05:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: the initial link at Muhammad Ali to parkinsonism is correct, but the full story is not told.  According to Parkinson’s disease#Notable cases, he may have been later diagnosed with PD, but the old sources there are not clear.  To sort this out, someone will need to read the Neurology journal articles linked in the PD article (which are old), and find accurate sources explaining when and if his diagnosis switched from parkinsonism to Parkinson’s disease.  The problem is not with the links; the problem is that the Ali article is incomplete.   SandyGeorgia (Talk)  07:17, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I wasn't clear enough in my original comment. On the Ali page the link text is "Parkinson's Syndrome" but the destination page is "Parkinsonism".  Even if the same, when this happens there is generally a line at the top that says something like "Parkinson's Syndrome redirects here".  The line usually looks like the one currently in the article that says "Not to be confused with...".  Maybe it is not applicable in this case, but it was something I expected to see.

replies: text:   ah, ha, I see … does this fix resolve your concern?  SandyGeorgia (Talk)  16:33, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  No mention of redirect from Parkinson's syndrome 

message: The article has a mix of "Parkinsonism" and "parkinsonism". Which should it be? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:15, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Lower case.  For example, search this source. I found only one instance of an incorrect upper case (Parkinsonism, now fixed), so maybe I am misunderstanding your question. SandyGeorgia (Talk)  03:46, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Lowercase per this.  Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 03:51, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

text: Lowercase.  I fixed another instance in the article. Dicklyon (talk) 04:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

text: Yes, there were two of them. I find cases like this one confusing, since the word is derived from a person's name, and many other terms derived from personal names are uppercased. For example, "Dickensian", "Euclidean", "Jacksonian", "Keynesian", "Malthusian", "Marxism" and "Newtonian" are always uppercased, aren't they? On the other hand, SI units such as the watt, hertz, newton, pascal, and tesla are lowercased. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 07:05, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , I might have expected the same, but the evidence is what it is.  Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 09:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalization 

message: I added a bunch of good content I found that is important as the NDAA of 2021 finally added Parkison's and Parkinsonism to the list of "presumptive diseases" and what this does is enable affected Vietnam veterans (and their affected family members) claim disability benefits.  I got a warning notice however as a couple of the references I found online are from blocked... probably the root domain. But I did not do a bunch of research on "feelwellhealth.com" to determine why.  I plan to post on the whitelist request page to allow just the specific reference, but not the whole domain to be allowed while I continue to look for additional sources.  I also added a currently non-existent category for consideration by other wikipedians -- "list of presumptive conditions to receive VA benefits" is a mouthful, but I'm sure someone will come up with a better idea. Seems like it should be content that is networked via categories.     Tennis Anyone?Talk 22:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
