Wikipedia Addiction[edit]

Wikipedia Addiction

While it seems pretty clear as to why Wikipedia might wish to down-play information that is not in its' best interests, should it not be brave and include more useful text in this section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.199 (talk) 12:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism of internet addiction disorder[edit]

Criticism section is missing. "Internet addiction disorder" seem to be kinda "fake" term created just to shift attention from "mental disorder" to "problem of Internet" - just to show internet as source of mental issues (demonization of the internet), or even if there are some people with true Internet addiction disorder, term "Internet addiction disorder" is definitely overused. Why is "Internet addiction disorder" overused over bibliomania? What is the difference? Eurohunter (talk) 17:08, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Trim "Related Disorders" section[edit]

It looks like the "Related Disorders" section is overly long and detracts from the article as a whole. I'm going to do a bit of pruning. If others want to join, that would be great. If others have any concerns, let's discuss below. Nowa (talk) 16:53, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
