Proposed merge of Feigned madness into Malingering
[edit]This article is about malingering in regards to mental illness, and mostly lists examples. What is to be merged requires discussion in order to establish what merits inclusion, and what can be verified, as sources are lacking. BlockArranger (talk) 16:00, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- BlockArranger, it's been a few months without any opposition, you should be good to carry out a WP:BOLDMERGE if this is something you're still interested in. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:18, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for reminding me! I agree with you, BlockArranger (talk) 01:48, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
Ethical considerations removal
[edit]I have noticed that relatively recent edits by RandomEditor256 removed various sentences claiming them to be AI generated. It seems that these were concerned with ethical considerations.

David from the Torah
[edit]It was odd to see a statement treating mythology as history and suggesting a diagnosis of epilepsy. The source was from the 1800s and I tried to improve the sentence by adding context. It still appears to be synthesis, it's unlikely that it would refer to "malingering" itself. ~2025-31363-35 (talk) 09:58, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
