The[edit]

This entire article is just a paraphrasing of the Straight Dope article found at the included link. Just thought someone reading it should know. 24.128.68.185 01:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above comment now only applies to the USA section. I have not used that reference at all for the UK section I have now added

Just looked at the link and I would say the OPs comment is entirely unfair. The original article is in the form of conversational questions and answers with lots of personal reminiscing rambling, nothing like the wiki article.

Slate[edit]

http://www.slate.com/id/2234903/ (06 Nov 2009) seems very similar to the US section of this article. It's not attributed, and it's possible that the writer derived his information from the same sources, but I thought I'd leave a note here so that no one later thought that Wikipedia had copied the Slate article.

Proposed merge to medical condition[edit]

A merge has been proposed to medical condition (not by me).

Support articles appear to duplicate each other. --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:30, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure This is being used in a different manner than medical condition. A medical condition is generally used to mean the specific health problem well this is an overall description. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:09, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose have removed medical condition as aka that linked to disease. State refers to the condition of a person not to a medical condition. --Iztwoz (talk) 20:48, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the consensus that these are different things. Klbrain (talk) 17:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
