Hi Bluerasberry! I'm contacting all the members of the task force because we need some more votes for our properties. If you have about 10 minutes please visit d:Wikidata:Property_proposal/Term. After they have enough votes I can create them and a bot operator can start gathering information.
If you want to help with increasing the visibility of the data-project you can add {{User Wikidata Medicine}} to your user page. All the best! (Watching your talk page and the task force talk page) --Tobias1984 (talk) 15:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Panton Arms, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victorian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey Bluerasberry

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

The problem is that you placed this in the "Wikipedia" namespace, instead of the "Wikipedia talk" namespace. In order to keep your edit history, I would recommend you blank, and then request deletion, of Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Helen_Nelson, and then move Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Helen_Nelson to Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Helen_Nelson which will have been deleted. I can't move it, because it "exists" but Techatology is correct, it appears to the reviewer that your submission is blank. I hope that helps. 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 15:13, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Consumers' Institute of New Zealand

I have also edited articles about the hospital organization for which I work. As long as one tells the facts correctly and does not try to write promotional fluff or hide relevant adverse information, I would think that would be fine. No one has said anything to me indicating I cannot write about certain topics. Bill Pollard (talk) 20:55, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

You are referring to what I wrote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Consumers' Institute of New Zealand. Thanks for the support. I know the rules but I still recognize and have experienced myself what a pain it is for an organization to put a work burden on the volunteers in an effort to inappropriately promote itself, so I try to be as transparent as possible when I am in an article which is close to me. I am especially concerned about health issues and I wish that more health organizations could get good guidance to correctly contribute to Wikipedia articles in their fields.

DYK-Good Article Request for Comment

University of Mississippi Medical Center

Hi, I created this section on the University of Mississippi Medical Center page. There is not a lot of other information on this page, which is true of many of these organization articles. Does my entry make the page unbalanced? I feel like I am adding the little bit I know about UMMC that might be relevant and that over time similar additions from other users would produce a balanced article that would enhance short articles and stubs. I am trying to cull what I think is most valuable from the Innovation Exchange profile, but I am not the expert on UMMC history and general capabilities. Is this an acceptable approach? I see that we have another policy article about UMMC that I could also incorporate, but it deals with interpreter services to improve cardiac care. The interpreter services are certainly not the center's core capability, but does that mean that I should forgo these type of entries unless the article has more core substance. Are my edits useful to the aggregate style of Wikipedia? I feel like I have a lot of useful information that could be used to make small edits on many articles rather than large edits on a few topics. Thanks FieldsTom (talk) 21:21, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Health Information Technology

In 2008, UMMC implemented an electronic scheduling program called Healthy Linkages to establish formal referral relationships between the Medical Center and community-based clinics in order to reduce emergency department use among patients with nonemergent conditions and to provide access to specialty care for patients at Federally Qualified Health Centers that do not offer these services. The program allows staff at the emergency department to schedule appointments for patients with nonemergent conditions at Federally Qualified Health Centers, and staff at Federally Qualified Health Centers have access to video equipment that connects them with specialists at the university for consultations.[1]

Hey Lane, in this edit you tag the content with {{fact}} with the edit summary "there are 10 sources here and I expect most of them to support this statement"... if you know there are sources and you don't have any doubt that they support the statement, why tag it??

I know some of them must be right but not sure which ones. I put a note somewhere that I was going to read the sources and then try to bundle some citations - I will try to do that in a day or so. I tagged it so that I would not forget. Blue Rasberry (talk) 02:36, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

ICD browser by Indizen

Hi,

Why have you thought that is inaproppiate? Indizen have done the translantion to ICD-10 in spanish and have probably the best ICD-9 and ICD-10 browsers.

Best regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfernandezvalencia (talk • contribs) 12:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

I care a lot about ICD information but it is not clear to me what your website is. It looks like a commercial product. What is this website selling? Right now, it seems that the website will not let anyone do anything without registering an account. Is this so?
Other Wikipedians are interested in ICD development. For example, we have this past project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/ICD11.
Here is the explicit policy which says to avoid having links to websites which require registration - Wikipedia:El#Sites_requiring_registration. Wikipedia does get a lot of traffic to this topic and the others to which you linked - see this chart, for example. If you think that your website does go in the external links section then let's talk more. I have not even registered an account so I am not sure what you are doing. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


Hi, We are selling a terminology server, but the ICD browser is free for all users.The registration is required because we show the mapping with snomed ct and its necessary that people accept the legal terms. Looking forward for your response

The browser look like this: [ICD-9-CM / ICD-10 browser] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfernandezvalencia (talk • contribs) 13:46, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I will replace the link. If more people object - and I think they could because of the Wikipedia:El#Sites_requiring_registration policy - then we might need to have a broader discussion. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:56, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Visionary Heads

Bluerasberry, would you please take a look at the talk page of that article. It really isn't acceptable for the greater part of the substance of a Wikipedia article to be composed of cut'n'paste sections of people's books on the subject. This is not the way that Wikipedia articles are written. There is absolutely no reason why the editor of the article could not have drawn the facts from the quoted sources, rewritten them coherently in an encyclopedic manner, with the facts sourced. The inclusion of a longer direct quotation from the one that may represent a witness account would be desirable.

When assessing for a DYK, you need to think about this sort of stuff, as well as the interest of the article.

Wikipedia:Quotations#Overusing quotations

Amandajm (talk) 13:25, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure that I agree but I need to read and think more. I am an advocate of open access and I would like for previous work to be reused. I also have put a lot of thought into book summaries myself - I asked about this long ago and I write non-fiction summaries myself and like to quote reviews verbatim whenever possible. I have many of these listed on my userpage in "pages I created" in the "published works" section. There were a lot of reviews in this article on Visionary Heads but I liked it. I will join you in conversation - let me think some more and read the bit about overusing quotations. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:00, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
These are not reviews that are being quoted. It is biographical material. The 'facts need to be extracted in each case, and stated clearly, with reference to the source. Facts need to be stated encyclopedically, with the romantic 19th century overtones removed.
On the other hand, matter that is actually opinion may require direct quotation. A first hand account that captures the drama of the event is also worth quoting.
But clear statement needs to be made at the beginning of the body of the article that Blake claimed to see historical characters in visions and drew them (while seeing them or memory or whatever). This is the substance of the article, and needs encyclopedic statement, not merely a quotation that includes the facts. Someone other author's written work does not constitute the wikipedia encyclopedic statement on the subject matter of the article. It's hard to make this any clearer.
Amandajm (talk) 14:22, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
Let me think more about this. There is already a huge established precedent on Wikipedia from its earliest days that the author's written work is sufficient source material for creating a summary of a given work. For example, there are almost no sources cited in Harry_Potter_and_the_Philosopher's_Stone#Plot, and there is consensus that summaries of this sort belong on Wikipedia. I am not sure - let me think more about this. If direct quotations are the best way to convey information to readers then I would want them used in preference to anything which serves readers less well. I am not sure - let me think for a while.
