Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Ampimd (talk) 22:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Age dysphoria

The article Age dysphoria has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fundamentally bogus medical article using three distinct sources, none of which are about the subject (one source, listed twice, has the words "age" and "dysphoria" adjacent, but as separate elements of a list.) Strong suspicion of WP:LLM generation.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Age dysphoria for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Age dysphoria is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Age dysphoria until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

On medical topics

PE!

It looks like you're a fairly new editor. I appreciate you coming on board trying to improve Wikipedia!

I expect you may be frustrated with the situations regarding the age dysphoria article. One thing that you should understand and may help you in your future editing is that while Wikipedia always wants "reliable sources", we require a special level of reliabilty for biomedical information (which includes psychology.) That's partly because it's very important that our content is correct on such matters, and partly because sources that are normally very reliable tend to get sloppy when it comes to medical information. For example, the New York Times, which we would trust for almost any kind of information, cannot be used for medical claims.

I hope that those links are helpful for you. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 19:18, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nat Gertler! Thanks for sending over this note--I am fairly new, and absolute appreciate and welcome any feedback.

This particular topic was a bit difficult to find scholarly articles on--I can understand the gap now that you've shared these resources, though unfortunately I am not sure if there are currently adequate sources given the special guidelines outside of what I've found. Search results for this term are quite limited potentially indicating a notability issue.

Again, I appreciate the message and hope to continue to improve upon future posts! PsychologyEditor (talk) 21:22, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
