Jean-Martin Charcot was a French neurologist and professor who named Tourette syndrome for his intern, Georges Gilles de la Tourette. In A Clinical Lesson at the Salpêtrière (1887), André Brouillet portrays a medical lecture by Charcot (the central standing figure) and shows de la Tourette in the audience (seated in the first row, wearing an apron).
Re, this edit, the image using upright is a painting, and the detail in the painting is relevant. MOS:IMGSIZE says:
Where a smaller or larger image is appropriate, use |upright=scaling factor, which expands or contracts the image by a factor relative to the user's base width.
For example:
upright=1.3 might be used for an image with fine detail (e.g. a map or diagram) to render it "30% larger than this user generally wants". (For a reader with the usual base width setting of 220px, this is 285px.)
upright=0.6 might be used for an image with little detail (e.g. a simple drawing or flag) which can be adequately displayed "40% smaller than this user generally wants". (For a reader with the usual base width setting of 220px, this is 130px.)
When specifying upright= values greater than 1, take care to balance the need to reveal detail against the danger of overwhelming surrounding article text.
Images in which a small region of detail is important (but cropping to that region is unacceptable) may need to be larger than normal, but upright=1.8 should usually be the largest value for images floated beside text.
Images within an article, especially those near one another and on the same side, may be more appealing if presented at the same width.

I am an adult with no history of disorders, but have found myself making sudden unexplainable quick comments in a group that “outed” some behavior heretofore kept secret. I was as surprised as everyone else and found myself ostracized from the people whose act or behaviour I had “outed.” Please note behavior's were not illegal or sexual in nature but instead just divulged secret(s) kept hidden. I had absolutely no intention to do this and was only triggered when the person I had never met entered the room and I was introduced to him. The experience has stayed with me to this day some 40 years later. 75.161.235.113 (talk) 00:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Please change and only one motor tic is required for diagnosis. to and only one motor tic (along with one or more vocal tics) is required for diagnosis.
The point in this change, besides making clearer the point in the original reference, is to prevent non-native speaking people who have motor tics but no vocal tics, such as myself, and are looking for diagnosis possibilities for those tics, to consider erroneously a Tourette diagnosis based on the original text. The WHO ICD-11 classification still requires at least one vocal tic for a possible Tourette syndrome diagnostic, as one can verify in the ICD-11 website, and not only one motor tic. Yes, I'm aware Wikipedia should not be used as a medical diagnosis tool. Yes, I do discuss everything I find with my doctor. But other people will look for possibilities anyway, and the text is better be crystal clear on what it says. Rpioveza (talk) 17:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
level-5 vital article is rated FA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Done I have corrected that, thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:40, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
