Protection needed?
Hello all,
Does anyone else support the idea of restricting who can edit this article? With the amount of traffic this receives, I think it is a good idea personally. JamesJohnsonJo (talk) 19:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
:No. There has not been significant editing conflict, nor vandalism. Wikipedia does not protect articles just for being high-traffic. 157.181.130.150 (talk) 13:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Wiki Education assignment: Brain Tips
Placement of information on psychopathy according to the AMPD
Very recently, while reading this article, I stumbled upon the Sociopathy section under History. I was surprised to see it focuses heavily on the relation of psychopathy to the diagnostic conceptualization of antisocial PD as described in the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders, which, incidentally I published an article on (<= the one linked to) two weeks ago. Naturally, I decided to wikilink to it, and I also made a few minor changes. This got me thinking, though, "why is this information included under Sociopathy?". I find it very unclear in which way this has anything to do with sociopathy, or even really the history of psychopathy, as the AMPD is a very recent model, introduced in the DSM-5. This is an important article and I don't want to do anything too radical, but wouldn't it make much more sense for the AMPD-related stuff to be included under Diagnosis, as the AMPD is notable in this regard due to it actually at least almost having psychopathy as a specifier to ASPD?

:BlockArranger, I fully agree with you that it should be removed from history - sociopathy and into diagnosis. Lova Falk (talk) 14:17, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
::Done! I have moved the content and also made a few changes. BlockArranger (talk) 17:49, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
