Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
|
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 21:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I see you've tagged this as disputed - there have been several disputes, mainly 'amongst friends', on the article - can we check which one particularly caught your eye please. Bob aka Linuxlad 17:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Chapman University Incident
[edit]you still haven't apolagized for calling this entire organization a "retard." i have a mentally retarded sibling and your comment has very much offended me. the word "retard" should not be used as a perjorative. please excercise discretion with your diction in the future.
instead of attacking experimental users (future wikipedians), you should greet them. instead of calling them "retard," you should direct them to the sandbox. you must ASSUME GOOD FAITH, or you must stop biting the newbies.
i ask that you apolagize.
the organization is Chapman University.
nevermind, i retract what i wrote. good job as a wikipedian.
Thank you. I'm glad this is resolved SuperTycoon 16:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Give me an oppertunity
[edit]Are all of the children listed on the catagory of "Child Bloggers" the most important and genius people of their country? is the addition of article about a football player who never played on his national team, useful for wikipedia? After the requestment of AYWJ for an autobiography by myself to be placed on the site, I sent them a copy of my published curriculum viate, and they published it using my personal user Identification on the site. The statement expression about gathering the "World's youngest journalist" record, is not written by me. I think that the personal struggles and the difference of opinions, ideas and nationalities have not to be caused to such unequalities. I desire all Wikipedia editors to not delete this page now and let me to introduced like all children and young prodigies who own pages on wikipedia. I don't claim to be important and very well-known but we have to accept truth because WE CAN NOT FIGHT AGAINST REALITIES...
Your VandalProof Application
[edit]Dear SuperTycoon,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. Daniel Bryant 22:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
vandalism warning?
[edit]No, I removed the vandalism this was my edit - you put it back in your edit. Please be more careful with your reverts and your warnings. Regards, Bencherlite 20:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- And again here. What are you doing?! Bencherlite 20:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Last ones for now: this (why did you revert the IP's changes?) this (although you at least noticed your mistake), this (why?). 5 mistakes in your last 9 reverts is, well, unimpressive. Whilst enthusiastic vandal-fighting is all very well, can I suggest you slow down when you return and take the time to look at the edits before you leap in. Regards, Bencherlite 21:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Criticism of Islam edit conflict
[edit]Hello, SuperTycoon … Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Islam-related articles)#Islamic honorifics … you reverted my edit to Criticism of Islam (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), which was a revert of vandalism by Muuneeb (talk · contribs), a user who has been indefinitely blocked for their disruptive edits … please check users' edit histories before you assume vandalism.

Your recent edits - July 2010
[edit]Sorry I feel I have to take issue with the quality of some of your recent edits. Per the long-standing guideline MOS:CAPS, the first letter of all words should be in lower case, unless the word falls under one of the very limited exceptions such as being a noun or part of a noun phrase. Therefore, this templated warning of yours is inappropriate. Secondly, since you did not actually revert the edit in question, the warning to the editor is unnecessary and misleading. I see you seem to have issued several similar templated warnings recently. Please be more careful in future. Since these edits seem to be completely out of character, even more so given your academic credentials, would you like to verify that your account has not been compromised? Thanks, 61.245.81.52 (talk) 09:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
The first edition of The Pulse has been released. The Pulse will be a regular newsletter documenting the goings-on at WPMED, including ongoing collaborations, discussions, articles, and each edition will have a special focus. That newsletter is here.
The newsletter has been sent to the talk pages of WP:MED members bearing the {{User WPMed}} template. To opt-out, please leave a message here or simply remove your name from the mailing list. Because this is the first issue, we are still finding out feet. Things like the layout and content may change in subsequent editions. Please let us know what you think, and if you have any ideas for the future, by leaving a message here.

Medical Translation Newsletter
[edit]
Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce
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 MedicineSpotlight - 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:
- WHO's list of Essential Medicines[1]
- Neglected tropical diseases[2]
- Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
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
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]
