Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

  • Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
  • The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! : Barbara (WVS)   17:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the warm welcome! I am looking forward to participating. AnaSoc (talk) 02:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Interruption (speech) for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Interruption (speech) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interruption (speech) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 23:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

[edit]
Cheers! You deserve a few of these for your excellent work! Michaelramirez (talk) 01:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I recieved an email from WikiEd (Ryan) about the success of the Fellows program. What a great article you have created! I am reassessing it as B class (because I can!). You have contributed some great content that is of high quality. Would you mind taking a look at Violence against women in the United States? I was working on it and can no longer do so because of a ban on my editing (welcome to Wikipedia). See my talk page for more details here. I also write for the Signpost, a news publication that is created by editors about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Would you be willing to respond to some interview questions? I would love to publish an article about what you have done so far AND what you are continuing to do. I want to also thank you for slugging right through the proposed deletion process. It can be daunting and just plain mean. Consider me one of your biggest fans.

The Very Best of Regards, Barbara   23:16, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Barbara, nice to meet you. Yes, I would respond to interview questions for Signpost. Ryan deserves the credit for preventing deletion of the interruption (speech) article. I may work on the VAW article at a later point. What kinds of improvements do you think need to be done? Thanks for contacting me.AnaSoc (talk) 00:25, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AnaSoc! You created a thread called how to nominate an article for WikiProject Sociology at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.

Redirects

[edit]

Hey there! I noticed that you had created the page Lesbian land movement, with the edit summary "redirect lesbian land movement to Womyn's land," but the content only had the target page's word. I assume that you wanted the page to be a redirect, which is what I've turned it into. In the future, you can create a page with #REDIRECT [['PAGE NAME HERE']] which will automatically make it a redirect, with 'PAGE NAME HERE' being the target page. For more info, see Help:Redirect. If you didn't mean to make it a redirect, please let me know or revert my edit, replacing it with what your intentions were for the page. Thanks! :)--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 02:43, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no, what did I do this time?Thanks so much! This was the first time I attempted a redirect. Thanks so much for fixing!AnaSoc (talk) 21:04, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citation refnames

[edit]

I see that although I've explained why you shouldn't, you're still using numerical refnames. So ... one last time ... just to be clear:

Names must not be purely numeric; they should have semantic value so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors.
For example, if the reference you are citing is a book by an author whose surname is Smith, that was published in 2008:
you can use:
<ref name=Smith2008>{{Details of Reference}}</ref>
— Same reference used more than once

The guideline also applies to cited web, news, and journal sources. Ciao. Pyxis Solitary 09:45, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pyxis Solitary Can you point me to an example of where I did that? I just looked at the work I did yesterday and the sources I added all use letters, not numbers. Thanks again for your help.AnaSoc (talk) 00:45, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Click on the "numerical refnames" link above (<ref name=":4"> <ref name=":3" />), followed by <ref name=":6"> and <ref name=":7">. Pyxis Solitary 12:06, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for your help, Pyxis Solitary However, when I click on the link you provided, the references show up as letters. Look at the Wade reference, the one after "enslaved." On my screen, there are letters, not numbers. I want to get this right, but I don't know why I see letters while you see numbers.AnaSoc (talk) 19:25, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pyxis Solitary: User:AnaSoc asked me to help clarify what's happening here. I took a look at what you're describing, and I understand you're referring to the RefNames that have ":1" or ":4" instead of, say, the author's last name or the publication. I'm not sure if you already know, but those RefNames are automated as a default by the VisualEditor when you reuse a source. AnaSoc, you can toggle over to the source editor (by clicking the tab or pencil in edit mode) and change the numbers to one-word names that clarify which source you're reusing, which I try to do, but it's not required. Just a nice habit until the Visual Editor reflects the community preference. Jami (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:11, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jami (Wiki Ed) Thanks so much for the assistance. I will try to adopt this technique as I am totally on board with Pyxis Solitary's desire to make Wikipedia user-friendly for visually impaired users.AnaSoc (talk) 22:36, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
AnaSoc: After I thought about what you see versus what I see, I started thinking that you probably where using Visual Editor and that was the culprit. I'm totes Source editor (it may seem masochistic, but I like the challenge of wiki markups). The Visual Editor has limitations that most editors are not aware of. It's meant to be editing's easy way out, but it more often than not creates more work for diligent editors who have to clean-up the inconsistencies it creates in an article's wiki markup, and it's the most infuriating editing done to tables in lists.
BTW, give this a try and see if you like it:
     Go to your Preferences > Gadgets > Appearance  and select "Display diffs with the old yellow-and-green colors and design".
When you look at the differences an edit made, they are highlighted in red. Pyxis Solitary 09:37, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red

[edit]

Hi there, Ana, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you are interested in writing articles on academics and social scientists. You might be inspired to cover some of the women listed in our crowd-sourced lists of social scientists or academics. As a relatively recent editor, you should have a look at our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need any help. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 14:03, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your userbox

[edit]

Hi there! I noticed that you put what I think you meant to be a userbox on your page, but then you removed it because it didn't work. If you did mean for it to be a userbox, the reason it didn't work is because you need to put the following text as input:

{{User Sociology expert}}

This input will output the following:

SOCThis user is an expert in Sociology.

If this was not your intention, then feel free to disregard the message or tell me what you're intentions were and I'll help you the best I can with that. Also feel free to let me know if you need help with anything else. Thanks!--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 16:14, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are awesome, SkyGazer 512. I had inserted that text, but I used the visual editor, so of course it didn't work. Thanks so much for your help, and happy star gazing!AnaSoc (talk) 01:14, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, the visual editor. The VE (visual editor) can be a huge pain sometimes, especially when copying coding, as coding demonstrations are usually written for the source editor. In the future, if you input a code with the VE and something strange and unexpected happens, try switching to source editing and then see if it works. I'm glad I was able to help you, and good luck! :) Also (unrelated), for what it's worth, despite my username I actually rarely star gaze, but thanks anyways! :P--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 02:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
SkyGazer 512 Wikipedia has so many cool tools! I am enjoying learning how to use them. Thanks again for your help.AnaSoc (talk) 22:41, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in study

[edit]

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 20:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Katharine Coman

[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Katharine Coman you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Catrìona -- Catrìona (talk) 13:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@AnaSoc: I just wanted to make sure you were aware that the article is under review. If you don't respond in the next few days I will have to put it on hold. The article is very close to meeting the GA criteria, but a few minor points have to be addressed. Catrìona (talk) 18:38, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Catrìona: Thanks for review. It doesn't look like AnaSoc has edited in since 8/7. It would be a shame for this not to move forward now that the review has started. If AnaSoc doesn't return to editing after a few days, would you ping me before closing? I may be able to jump in and help. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:57, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Rhododendrites: Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know. Catrìona (talk) 20:04, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay! I had some pressing deadlines to meet and have not been on Wikipedia in a couple of weeks. I'm delighted to hear that the article is under review for GA status! Thanks for your work.AnaSoc (talk) 01:26, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Katharine Coman

[edit]

The article Katharine Coman you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Katharine Coman for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Catrìona -- Catrìona (talk) 01:41, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Catrìona Thanks so much for reviewing the Katharine Coman article. I had several pressing deadlines that kept me from responding to your suggestions until today. I appreciate your work very much, and I look forward to your comments about the changes made.AnaSoc (talk) 23:55, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi AnaSoc, thanks for the changes that you made. Just so you know, the one-week time-line is just a guideline, not a rule. I'm happy to extend the review as long as you need. Catrìona (talk) 00:12, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, Catrìona! Take a look when you have time to see if I have made enough required changes. I cannot do any more extensive work on Wikipedia until after September 5. BTW, I found a copy of the Burgess book that has a lovely photograph of their home, The Scarab. The book was published in 1952. I might write the publisher to see if they will grant a CC license for use in the Coman and also the Bates article. Thanks for all you do.AnaSoc (talk) 00:56, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikimedia LGBTQ+ User Group is holding online working days in May. As a member of WikiProject LGBT studies, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.

We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.

More information, and registration details, at QW2021.--Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group 02:35, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia.

If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.

Hello! I know you haven't been active in some time, but I wanted to thank you for uploading your photograph of Mr Santa Claus from 2018.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

[edit]
Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
