Cleanup

[edit]

Hi, Benutzer ... your edits to autism (a featured article) are introducing cleanup needs. Could you please hold off and review the changes that are needed? First, FAs must maintain a consistent citation style, which you aren't using (see WP:CITEVAR, this article uses vcite and PMIDs). Second, some of your text might be better placed in sub-articles. Third, please have a look at WP:OWN#Featured articles. Off to fix your latest citation ... but please have a look at talk. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer to keep discussions together; when I post to your talk page, I have it watchlisted, and will respond here. When editing any article, one should follow the citation style established in the article, but that becomes more critical in the case of featured articles, as part of the criteria for FAs is that they have consistent citations. In several of our heavily cited medical FAs, it was discovered that the routine cite journal template slowed down load time, so User:Eubulides switched them to the vcite journal template, which uses (I believe) the Vancouver citation style. So ... the autism suite of articles is a bit different from some other medical articles. Also, since so many of us use the Diberri citation filling template, and access PubMed to check abstracts, it is always helpful to include the PMID on any medical citation. Hope this helps! And we should get that employment thing sorted soon ... it's just that editing an FA is a bit different than any other article, as we have to make sure that everything stays in compliance with the crierion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:03, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
HI, Benutzer ... you can post here and I will respond here ... fragmented conversations hurt my brain :) Diberri got busted, so BogHog rewrote that tool just in the last few days ... you can find the new tool in the userbox on my user page (click on my user page, not on my user talk page). As far as I know, there aren't too many other articles that use vcite as the autism suite of articles do (except I think maybe Major depressive disorder or schizophrenia, not sure), but all you have to do is a) go into edit mode on the article and double check the citation style before adding citations, and b) when using BogHog/Diberri, just switch the cite journal returned by the tool to vcite. On "normal" articles, you don't have to worry too much about this small change, but whenever editing an FA, be sure to try to keep citation style consistent with that already in use in the article. Do you have the tool/gadget installed that lets you know when you are editing an FA or GA? If not, go to your preferences, click on Gadgets, and scroll down to the Appearance section, where you can check a box to "Display an assessment of an article's quality ... " Hope this helps!

Medical Translation Newsletter

[edit]


Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce

Medical Translation Newsletter
Issue 1, June/July 2014
by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery


This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.

note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

IEG grant
CFCF - "IEG beneficiary" and editor of this newsletter.

I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.

Wikimania 2014

For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.

Integration progress

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.

  • Swedish
    Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
    Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
  • Dutch
    Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
  • Polish
    Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
    (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
  • Arabic
    The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
Integration guides

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

News in short

To come
