Hirnantian article

You have done absolutely fantastic work with the Hirnantian stage article. I hope you are still interested in continuing to other geological time periods. Thank you!--Jyril 21:06, July 9, 2005 (UTC)

Next articles

Do as you like, I don't know if there are any articles that should to be created first. Maybe those stages when great changes occurred are the most interesting (like the Maastrichtian)? --Jyril 17:10, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Category:Historical medical landmarks

Thanks for your invitation. I'm interested in helping you, but I have two issues. The first is that I'm not sure your category is correctly named. In English, a monument is something like a plaque, statue, or something similar. For example, the plaque in front of No. 40 Broad Street, London, is a monument to the Broad Street Cholera epidemic. The items you have in your category list seem to me to be more items and locations of historical medical importance. For example, the Edwin Smith Papyrus is an item stored at a location in New York. It's not a monument.

This is not to say that I dislike what you are doing. On the contrary, I think a category covering items and locations of historic importance by country (and state/provence/etc.) is very important. It will alert people to resources and historic information in their localities, and provide a resource for students conducting research on the medical history of their areas. So, I think you should look into renaming the category.

A discussion about renaming or deleting (!) the Category: Historical medical landmarks by country(with all its subcategories) is going on. Please share your thoughts on the matter at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 October 24#Category:Historical medical landmarks by country. I agree with the fact that the actual name of the Category is an ambiguous one. But what else name could be better? "Medical landmarks by country"? "Historical medical monuments and memories by country"?... As you can see in the current discussion, there are some different opinions on the subjects.

The second issue is more practical. I can't figure out how to add my name to the list. Your members list doesn't seem to be like a number of other projects I've joined. Can you write some instructions for me on my talk page?

You just have to edit your UserPage (NOT the User Talk page!) and add Category:Wikipedians interested in history of medicine at the bottom of it. Many thanks for your appreciation. I will be very happy if some scholar or student will find useful this work!

One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 18:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
