Talk:TikTok tics

Initial contributor's notes

here I outline the initial page source and the modifications I made to make the article better ComfyLemur (talk) 19:05, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

First, this page was a translated Spanish page es:TikTok tics. As a fluent English speaker with some reading skills in Spanish I used online translating tools, verifying the exact wording, style, precision, factual correctness. ComfyLemur (talk) 19:08, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

Then, I added more refs to English media, and to English research papers. Which gave me more valuable material for a slight page expansion. ComfyLemur (talk) 19:09, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

As the most crucial although short addition I found some research estimates of number of cases which I did put to the body, givin a brief characteristic in the lead section. ComfyLemur (talk) 19:12, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

I added a graph in the epidemiology section to give the rough idea why it attracted all the attention. I'm not sure it is formatted and set in the page in the most beautiful way though ComfyLemur (talk) 20:32, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

the reasons why this page needs its volume:

• hundreds of cases reported in a specific dozen clinics alone
• big coverage in press
• substantial coverage in research articles
• rare absence of polarization and politics involvment
• relatively big case of a major phenomenon, might be the biggest over the decade

I clarified the exact phrasing related to medical speculations, as result some become somewhat weaker. E.g. "were supposed to be" instead of "were" etc. If the consensus wasn't universal, I mentioned according to who a statement is stated. ComfyLemur (talk) 22:53, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

Spanish centered sections had to be shortened substantially, and the whole media coverage overhauled to include top international sources ComfyLemur (talk) 22:54, 20 October 2026 (UTC)

I made all the statements much more cautious and factual, it made the text somewhat drier but more precise ComfyLemur (talk) 17:43, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

so unlike the original Spanish version it lack categorical statements ComfyLemur (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
