This seems somewhat misleading, given what the section actually says about the likelihood of someone being affected by simply coming into contact with a person who has taken or overdosed on fentanyl. Such poisonings do not appear to be possible.
The heading was previously "Misconceptions and moral panic", which is probably too far in the other direction. What's a good heading for this? Belbury (talk) 15:27, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t see the statements are all supported when reading the references, and the posting seems to be written intentionally to diminish the problems with Fentanyl, suggesting the possibly this was written by someone with interests in the Fentanyl industry. How is anyone to know?
You claim the following: "...[T]he posting seems to be written intentionally to diminish the problems with [f]entanyl, suggesting the possibly this was written by someone with interests in the [pharmaceutical] industry". First, what are these problems you claim exist with fentanyl? Second, please explain how this article appears to be written by the pharmaceutical industry. I cannot find any significant adverse reactions to fentanyl that exist which have been not documented in some degree by this article. Furthermore, I've struggled to find this alleged bias you speak of. I looked at the user names of recent contributors to this article and have found none with names like User:JanssenPharmaceuticaRep or similar. There is little to suggest that fentanyl is any but a safe and effective medication when its carefully used according to preparation labelling and dispensed under the supervision of a physician for a valid medical purpose. If you can find anything to back-up your claims, please let me know. Irruptive Creditor (talk) 21:37, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The OP has had almost three months to respond, so there's not much point in asking for clarification of the drive-by complaint. Meters (talk) 21:53, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought something more internationally recognisable than a US penny would have been better for physical size comparison like a ruler with metric and imperial measurements present. Many people have no idea of the sizing of US coins, especially those who live elsewhere. I realise pictures showing a physical difference may be hard to find, so perhaps the metric size of a US penny could be put in brackets next to it. 81.174.158.84 (talk) 04:53, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and removed that image from this (and other) articles. Unless I'm missing something, the source is just a photo gellery with no description; the amount and the claim that it's a lethal dose seem to be unsourced. –dlthewave☎18:22, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are you questioning the validity of that spelling? There are numerous sources that use the "i" spelling. If you want a source then just add one of them. Meters (talk) 22:40, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeedy - and in the US and in a clinical setting - ME - I have not seen the variant spelling - my OR world might be very small - but I ran numerous checks - it is NOT that big of a deal - I guess. BeingObjective (talk) 22:48, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BeingObjective:Looking at the results of my cursory Google search more closely, I'm not seeing any solid sources for this spelling. There are quite a few search results that seem to show "fentanil" as appearing on a web page when actually it does not. It appears that the term is being added to page descriptions to catch misspelled searches. Other pages do use "fentanil" but with wording very similar to Wikipedia's "Fentanyl, also spelled fentanil," and may just copies from Wikipedia. This article has included the supposed alternate spelling since 2010, when it was added by an IP [1]. If no-one can come up with a solid reliable source that cannot be a case of citogenesis then WP:BEBOLD and remove it. Meters (talk) 03:16, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for this - it might seem to some a trivial matter - but I was fairly certain it has no solid bases - I tried to correct this previously and got really beaten up - I will likely just leave it for some future individual - I have so many Admin warnings I'm trying to play super nice - many thanks again.

I made the small change - I am expecting to be kicked off for edit warring - I really do not see this as that - it has been a fairly painful WP initiation - I do feel rather attacked -- BeingObjective (talk) 15:09, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
