Why the tag?

I see that this article has received a tag saying that it has multiple issues, namely that it is "is written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay", and that it "contains weasel words: vague phrasing that often accompanies biased or unverifiable information". As the original author of this article, I beg to differ. There is objectively nothing resembling a personal opinion in this article. Almost every sentence is accompanied by references to scientific publications. Sure, the second sentence under "Absence of sleep" starts with "It is argued that...", but surely there is nothing wrong with presenting a serious hypothesis that has been put forward in a scientific publication? As to the charge of vague phrasing and unverifiable information, this boggles my mind. Could specific examples of this be given? Again, the article contains numerous (48) references, mostly to the primary literature. I respectfully submit that this tag should be removed.

Reference 6 and 25 are equal

So why not just fix it :) --Epipelagic (talk) 20:36, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

The first, second paragraphs are just wrong, the 'definition' is also wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikslkd (talk • contribs) 01:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

What is the connection? It might be useful as a cultural reference.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:39, 20 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
