message: *This article needs to be rewritten with regards to encyclopedic tone and NPOV (eg. not saying things are "unfair", no rhetorical questions, etc...).  Overall, pretty well written though.  Wickethewok 03:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I was very happy to discover that this article already has a substantial section on the Hallmark movie, and I've created a redirect page (with full categories) at Front of the Class (film). After looking over the section again, I actually think there's more than enough material there to justify moving it to Front of the Class (film), leaving behind a summary and main article link. However, I wasn't about to do that without discussing it here first. So please let me know if there are any serious objections. I'll check back in a couple of days. Nice work on the article!

replies: text: I was keeping it together so I'd have less to maintain, because I was (frankly) worried that we would have a huge coprolalia-related vandal fighting day when the movie aired.  My concerns were not realized, and I see no problem with having the separate Film article.  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

text:  PS, if you work on Films, perhaps you can also beef up I Have Tourette's But Tourette's Doesn't Have Me; I've gotten a solid, sourced structure in place for each, but just don't have time to take them to a higher level. For example, I don't know how to upload the non-free images that could be used on each film article.  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't done much work on Films, so I'm afraid I'm no help on uploading non-free images. Cgingold (talk) 13:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

text: The reason I created  is two-fold: it gives readers access through , and it separates out those people who suffer from Tourette's from the other people who are listed in :Category:Tourette syndrome because they carried out research, etc. I don't think there's any serious likelihood of it being deleted, because it's a serious, life-altering condition, and it's not a subjective category because it's only for diagnosed cases. I'll try to keep an eye out for juvenile vandalism, but in my experience the vast majority of such vandals completely ignore the categories, so I think your concerns may be unwarranted in that regard. As for the TS organizations, as with the "People with TS" category, it gives readers access through the  structure. Hope that helps! Cgingold (talk) 13:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK, then, but I hope you'll help watch these categories for vandalism and uncited or medically incorrect additions.  Perhaps along the way, you'll also read the Tourette syndrome article and avoid incorrect, loaded phrasing like "people who suffer from" and misperceptions like "serious, life-altering condition".  Most people with TS don't "suffer", it's not often a serious condition, and it's rarely life-altering. Thanks for the work on the categories and article.

replies: text: I understand your concern about language, Sandy, and I would have phrased things a little more carefully for an article on the subject. Just so you know, I've been very familiar with TS for quite a long time. By way of explanation, it's "serious" in the sense that it's not a "trivial" condition, which would result in deletion of the category. It's "life altering" simply in the sense that a person's life experience is different than it would have been otherwise. But I quite agree that running them together like that ("serious, life-altering condition") sounds overly dramatic, which wasn't what I intended. I suppose "suffer from Tourette's" is inartfully worded, since it's not direct suffering from the condition itself, but rather indirect suffering, as a result of the reactions it provokes. I suspect we're basically on the same page on all of this. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 21:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
