Question

[edit]

Hi Renaissancee, I noticed that you placed a template on the Ali Said Faqi talkpage, if you believe he deserves an entry on wikipedia, could you please leave your thoughts at this discussion?[1], thanks in advance!--Scoobycentric (talk) 11:52, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ali Said Faqi

[edit]

Dear Renaissancee, thank you for your re-classification of Ali Said Faqi. I was under the impression toxicology would be part of medicine. And I hoped for some input from that WikiProject regarding the AfD discussion by people with knowledge on the subject. Best regards, Crowsnest (talk) 15:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation

[edit]

With regard to the Hey Slavs mediation-I have, in my last post, tried to start moving towards a solution. I would be very interested in your thoughts, especially if I've misunderstood something & got it wrong! Dotty••|☎ 19:35, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you do me a a favour & look at the Hey, Slavs talk page please & let me know whether you think I have made the right decision-I have a feeling Imbris will not accept it at all & so want to check that you agree with me. Thanks! Dotty••|☎ 16:02, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No I know we don't give out decisions, yet I felt that in this instance, it was the best way to try & see if we could resolve it, as unfortunately neither side was really going to budge. Dotty••|☎ 16:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC) Thanks for the thoughts[reply]

AfDs and stuff

[edit]

Hi Ren,

I came across your Afd nom for 10/90 gap and have quite staunchly defended it. I then had a little nose around and saw your RfA where one of the comments was that you should work on article building. Can I suggest you withdraw your AfD nom, I can then reduce 10/90 gap to a small, meaningful, compliant article which could then be 5x expanded and nominated at WP:DYK along with Global Forum for Health Research which I resurrected yesterday and needs improving with inline citations. How about it?

I'll keep this on my watchlist, so let me know here.

Cheers, Bigger digger (talk) 13:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, that sounds fine to me. Renaissancee (talk) 21:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved your message back here. It makes my head hurt to follow a conversation over multiple talk pages ;-). I'll pare down 10/90 gap to the bear bones as policy allows. You'll need to withdraw the nomination, not quite sure how to do that but I'm sure it tells you somewhere, it just closes early but will preserve the debate with the sources I found. I'll then leave you to improve the article with the sources listed at the AfD and the ones on the talkpage. We can reconvene on Monday to see how we've got on and to nominate the articles for a DYK. I've done some work over at DYK so can rustle up a hook and make sure the articles are shipshape. Does that sound like a plan? Bigger digger (talk) 21:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds lovely, and thanks for the help :o. Renaissancee (talk) 21:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I stumbled across the AFD via WP:MED, and attempted my first non-admin closure. I think it's all handled, but if I mucked it all up, please feel free to fix and berate me mercilessly. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:34, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c with Floquenbeam) - I'm looking forward to merciless berating, it's one of my stronger abilities ;-)
No worries. I think I'd be a bit wary of all that Huggle malarkey, but I can see that it's important, so it's only fair that I share some of what I've learnt with you. When I revert an admin because I've got no idea which Huggle button to press I'll come running to you!
I've got 10/90 gap to a base level of 800 bytes of prose. In order to be suitable for a DYK nom it needs to be expanded to 4010 bytes of prose, which is probably about the size beforehand. If you add importScript('User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js'); to your monobook.js you can see the prose size for yourself using "DYK check" which appears in the toolbox on the left hand column - see User:Shubinator/DYKcheck for more info, but if you can install Huggle I'm sure you'll be fine with it! Then all you need to do is edit the article, complete with inline citations from all the sources. Easy! If you need any more guidance, just write here, or on my talk page, or on the article talk page. I'll catch it wherever. Time to hang up those Huggle goggles and get to sorting out this article! Bigger digger (talk) 21:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

<--Only a day to go, no change? Are you going to let this DYK opportunity slip you by? No worries if so, just thought I'd poke you again in an attempt to get someone else (not me!) to improve the article... ;-) Bigger digger (talk) 23:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFA Thanks

[edit]

RfA thanks

[edit]
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which succeeded with 56 in support, 12 in opposition and 3 neutral votes. I am truly honored by the trust that the community has placed in me. Whether you supported me, opposed me, or if you only posted questions or commented om my RfA, I thank you for your input and I will be looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas :). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). All the Best, Mifter (talk)

Mediation Cabal

[edit]

Hi there, I noticed that you had were starting to become involved in the mediation cabal, as I would also like to do. I have been looking at older cases, and I was wondering if I could follow you around for a bit, and watch your mediations to gain experience? Also, I stole your mediation notes page, if thats okay with you XD. Let me know if you'd like me to delete it from my personal subpage. MacMedtalkstalk 01:27, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to have your input here, as it is my first attempt at informal mediation, and I would love to have someone to share ideas with. MacMedtalkstalk 22:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WPMED's scope

[edit]

WPMED's scope includes not only all hospitals and physicians, but all medical agencies, medical journals, healthcare workers, charitable organizations, and related companies -- the whole infrastructure of medicine. You may want to consider the advantages of the conservative approach: assume that any article that has been tagged with a WPMED banner is within the proejct's scope, unless you have been directly told the specific kind of article is no longer within the project's scope.

As always, you can (as I do) leave a message at WT:MEDA for questionable cases. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MED

[edit]

Hi there, I have noticed that you are also in WikiProject Medicine. As a high school student with a heavy focus on the sciences, and taking a full-day co-op at a hospital next semester, I was wondering if you thought it would be appropriate for me to join the project, or if it should be left with those with more experience (ie doctors, med students, etc.) thanks, MacMedtalkstalk 02:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC) == What article was it that I asked a question in the topic by accident?Omegakingboo (talk) 05:16, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Switzerland

[edit]

Hi, I appreciate your enthusiasm in nominating Switzerland for FAC, but you must be the primary contributor to do so. I don't think it's ready yet either, see the FAC page. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 00:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does this mean you withdraw the nomination? No hard feelings, just need to be sure. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA

[edit]

Just wanted to say that I suspect that WPMED has a number of articles that would meet WP:GA if we could just identify them. If you run across any, please let me know (perhaps at WT:MEDA?) and/or feel free to nominate them yourself. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 1.0 Editorial Team

[edit]

Hi Renaissancee, Thanks for signing up for the 1.0 Editorial Team. We're currently finishing up Version 0.7 (once the badwords cleanup is complete, we should be ready for publication. We will be starting on Version 0.8 shortly afterwards, and we are hoping to use a script from the Wikitrust people to reduce the "badwords" checking (which has taken me several months so far). I'm hopeful that once that's in place, we'll be able to roll out releases very quickly, and this group will really get quite busy with planning releases and fun things like that. Please can you let me know if you can help out, and if so, where your interest/skills/experience lie. Thanks again, Walkerma (talk) 06:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WPMED tags

[edit]

I've just found a bunch of WPMED-tagged anatomy articles at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:WikiProject_Medicine. This is a redirect for the actual page, and its presence is usually a good indication that it wasn't tagged/assessed any time recently (and/or by any of the regulars). It looks like there are some 600 articles using this redirect, and they're practically all anatomy pages. If you're interested in weeding a few out, please feel free.

"Hepatitis B carries the greatest risk of transmission, with 37 to 62% of exposed workers eventually showing seroconversion and 22 to 31% showing clinical Hepatitis B infection.[10][11] "

Is this in unvaccinated individuals? Needs clarification, no?. Reference #11 is from 1982 which would've been researched before Hepatavax was available (also 1982). I don't have access to the article to check. I'd think there's also more current information. Thanks.--MartinezMD (talk) 04:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

[edit]

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group 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. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

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?

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 [5]

Hello, my name is TCMemoire. I wanted to let you know that I changed your membership status for the South Dakota WikiProject from "active" to "inactive" because I noticed that you have not contributed to Wikipedia in one year. This change has no effect on your ability to edit SD articles, of course. If you do decide to become active on Wikipedia and contribute to the project again, feel free to move your name back to the Active members list. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach me on my talk page. Have a great day! – TCMemoire 03:53, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to merge ?

[edit]

Hi Ren:

If you haven't already seen it I left you a jest on this Talk page but on a more serious note I am wondering if it might not be a good idea to merge Genital tubercle and Primordial phallus? Aren't these terms synonymous? I mean they even use the exact same image file. I ask because I am not a medical person and I stumbled on these two terms at a forum discussing the social issues related to gender identification. 172.88.146.9 (talk) 20:15, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
