Hi Whispyhistory, I've actually tagged the page for deletion based on being a large copyvio from [[1]]. While using info from a site is fine, you need to write the information in your own words, and not use information word from word from the source. RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:10, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timothyjosephwood was:

DYK nomination of Pankaj Chandak

Hi there. I wanted to let you know that I've received feedback on my Talk page of the the DYK nomination of Pankaj Chandak which I submitted on your behalf. It reads as follows:

Hello! Your submission of Pankaj Chandak at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 23:40, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

If you want this to proceed (and I do think it should), you will need to do a little more work on the article to meet the concerns. The main one is citations, supporting every single statement that you have made. I see you've changed the education section, and this is not now supported with references at all. I'm afraid this is a big 'no-no' for any biography of a living person, as all statements must be supported with citations, or removed. So, if you say he went to so-and-so school, you need to be able to prove this from reliable sources. You might have sat next to him in school for ten years, but unless you can point to reliable, independent references to support this, it simply has to not go in. If you could address the concerns raised here at the nomination's entry, and then go through, line by line to check that, not only are the statements true, but that they're also reference, this would be a great help. Ensure each award is supported by a citation, and remove the blank section on 'Postgraduate' - pointless to keep if there's nothing to put in it as yet.

The other issue mentioned is so-called copyright violation. This isn't much of an ussie as the reviewer doesn't seem to have spotted that most of the 'repeated words' are institutional names, award titles, or job titles. So, just go to the copyright violation checking tool, add the name to the page title search, box and look for the red-highlighted words in both columns, which show duplication. Most appear to me to be titles that can't be edited, as I had already had a go at removing closely paraphrased wordings. Just see what you can do to rewrite as many of these highlighted sentences or phrases as you can in your own words, then get back to me in the next few days and I'll see how you've got on, and can check it out and respond on the DYK nomination page. If these concerns aren't addressed, I'm afraid the DYK nomination process stops right there, which would be a real shame, I think. Regards Nick Moyes (talk) 07:59, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

I agree that COPYVIO is minor. Just concentrated in Postgraduate Medical career section when compared to Business Cloud.co.uk. If it was more serious I would have blanked the section. I will considered long job titles and organization names when reevaluating.

@Janweh64: Thank you, this is amazing. I will work on soon. How did you come across these? Whispyhistory (talk) 07:08, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Creative google searches like "Pankaj Chandak" "Worshipful Company". You could basically do the same with all his Universities and awards. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 08:15, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for creating Pankaj Chandak, Whispyhistory!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Lovely new article - a pleasure to read. Hope you'll consider submitting it for WP:DYK - you have a week for a new article to be eligible.

To reply, leave a comment on Nick Moyes's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

Nick Moyes (talk) 13:43, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes: Thank you for the lovely comment. There is still a lot more that can be added here. I will have a look at dyk article. Happy take advice any time. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:44, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes: I cannot thank you enough for your help already. Please could you check my amendments. I have deleted some information which I could not find good evidence for. I can't adjust the wording of awards. Somewhere was mentioned a problem with reference 7 (malaria paper). If so, check that paper's reference number 19. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Whispyhistory. I think you've done a really great job! I've checked the article again (though not the individual references), and found a couple of words like "distinguished" and "notable" which I've taken out. (The reason is these are seen as non-neutral opinions - so called peacock words - and we leave the reader to decide how amazing they think something is, based just on the stated facts you present.) I fixed one typo and you'll see I left a follow up message on the DYK nomination page, asking for a follow-up review which, I suspect, will go OK. I think any feedback will come direct to me as 'nominator' so do 'watch' the page yourself, though I'll forward any feedback - just in case. Once we get through this, I'd be happy to suggest a couple of unusual ways and rewarding ways you might like to consider developing your medical history interests on Wikipedia and making more great content here. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 12:03, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
@Nick Moyes: Thankyou and I look forward to your future guidance. I will continue to monitor this page and add accordingly. BW Whispyhistory (talk) 12:08, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
@Nick Moyes: Hi Nick, how are you? Wondered whether you had looked over this DYK and some of the other work I've done. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I'm away on holiday at present. Back September. Sorry I can't check stuff right now. Not sure of the current status of your DYK. Will try and check it out when I can. Nick Moyes (talk) 12:22, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Pankaj Chandak

On 17 August 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pankaj Chandak, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that surgeon Pankaj Chandak and his colleagues are believed to be the first medical team to act in a television drama, namely The Crown? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pankaj Chandak. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Pankaj Chandak), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

History of Medicine Society on Wikidata

Hi Whispyhistory!

It was great meeting you at the Oxford meetup last Saturday. I realize I have made a mistake when creating the Wikidata item for History of Medicine Society. The inception date on Wikidata is wrong, because according to the article it was founded in 1912. There was probably a misunderstanding between us, the date you gave me probably referred to something else! Do you want to try to fix it? Let me know if you need any help for that.

Cheers, − Pintoch (talk) 17:52, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

hi @Pintoch:Thank you. Your understanding is way better than mine. Is it something you can fix? Do you need me to answer any questions? I'm definitely going to next meet up in London. Otherwise, I'm ready now to fix.Whispyhistory (talk) 18:21, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
I am sure you can do it yourself! You just need to go to the Wikidata item, click "edit" next to the inception date, enter the correct date, and hit "save". Let me know if anything is unclear. − Pintoch (talk) 19:20, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
@Pintoch: You are a good mentor. I think I've done it correctly.Whispyhistory (talk) 20:57, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

  • Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
  • The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:06, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

September 2017

Information icon Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to James Parkinson. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:20, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

thank you Zackmann08 I don't understand but will go to next wiki meeting to clarify.Whispyhistory (talk) 18:24, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Francis Champneys, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages GMC, Nutley and FRCP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

A Barnstar for you

The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar

A new editor on the right path
For making a great start, and being keen to learn and develop as an editor. Nick Moyes (talk) 19:25, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Whispyhistory. Firstly, my apologies for not replying to your invitation (above) to comment on your work since you first became a Wikipedia editor in April, creating your first article on Pankaj Chandak and taking it to WP:DYK. I was on holiday in the mountains of France when you messaged me. Despite my promise to reply in September, I completeley overlooked this. Sorry.

I've now had a chance to look at your contributions and think you've done very well. I think you deserve the barnstar I've left above. I've looked at feedback on your talk page as well as looking directly at the pages you made.

  • You've done brilliantly with creating new articles and getting some of them through WP:DYK. (I can take a bit of pride in feeling I've encouraged you there!) Looks like you'll soon find yourself having to do WP:QPQ if you keep on like that!
  • It also looks like you've got the hang of referencing, especially using the same ref multiple times.
  • You've fallen foul of using thumbs a couple of times in Infoboxes, but that's no big deal. Someone soon spots the error and shouts a bit - but it's all with the aim of encouraging editors to follow the Manual of Style which is well worth delving into. You'll find odd subsections of the MOS which can be really helpful, like this one I found tonight, and had no idea there was a template available for post-nominal letters.

In no particular order here are a few observations.

  • Try to add an edit summary to every single change you make. (About 20% of your edits have no descriptive summary.)
  • Try and tick the box when you only make minor edits. (As your Wikipedia journey develops you'll find it really helpful to be able to look back for something in your own edit history to find something you edited, and as you're able to select out any flagged as 'minor' - it'll make the task so much simpler.
  • On Wikimedia Commons, do keep your filenames much shorter and less descriptive (put details in the 'description'd field. This should have been a lot shorter, in my opinion.
  • Make absolutely sure you definitely have the right to upload images. For eample, I did wonder whether you were OK in uploading the image mentioned above. You may have copied the image yourself, but unless you were the photographer all those years ago, or unless you inherited the rights to the image, or unless someone else put it in the public domain, I do worry that it might be challenged. If you accessed it from your work with the History of Medicine Society, you could do with ensuring they release permission via the OTRS process. (Well worth a read, but I'll pass on that and let others worry about it.)
  • Finally, I've quickly slimmed your draft of the Diploma in the Philosophy of Medicine you're working on. I'm not convinced this will merit an article of its own, and ought probably to be a part of the main article on the Apothecaries Soc. So consider whether this is a better approach, or how, on its own, it is notable enough.

I hope you find some of this feedback of use. Keep up the good work. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:18, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes: Thank you so much. It is completely your doing that encouraged me to carry on and I'm learning every day. I appreciate your observations and those of others. They only make my work better. Regarding honorary suffixes. I am working on the DPMSA so that it can be linked to some of the doctors who have this. If it doesn't end up looking substantial/notable enough then I'll review it. Thank you again. I'm off to celebrate. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of DPMSA, Diploma in the Philosophy of Medicine

A tag has been placed on DPMSA, Diploma in the Philosophy of Medicine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

  1. Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
  2. We do that, by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF)
  3. Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
  4. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead, that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
  5. More generally see WP:MEDHOW
  6. Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
  7. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  8. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
  9. Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
  10. Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
  11. Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
  12. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
  13. Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

I took the liberty of changing the layout of your userpage to what I think you are trying to achieve. You can reverse me with one click if you don't like it. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:52, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Thankyou @Philafrenzy:. Please feel to add anything that's helpful. It's amazing. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
We don't normally trespass on other people's user pages so that was an exception. You can find lots of boxes on other pages. Those tracking your progress can be good motivation to reach new milestones. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:06, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: Thank you again. I will check out other peoples and if you have any recommendation then feel free to ping me. While I have you, the dyk I did should be out on 19th Nov Whispyhistory (talk) 10:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Congratulations, you can list them on your userpage if you wish using either a single box giving the number done or separately as I do. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:21, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

London meetup

ClemRutter (talk) 14:20, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Missed you today, bit of a mix-up meant that we didn't get there until 17:20. I met Jasmine at Paddington as planned, around 10:45; then after the 11:00 2 mins silence, we intended to go to Bromley, out and back in 2 hours or so. Took Bakerloo line to Charing Cross, with the plan of changing at Grove Park and on to Bromley North. The man at Charing X said that there were no Sunday trains from Charing X to Grove Park, we would have to change at Lewisham. What he didn't say was that there were no Sunday trains at all to Bromley North, so we made the last part of the journey by bus. When all was done in Bromley, we found that Jasmine's 4-zone travelcard wasn't valid at Bromley South (Zone 5), so used another bus to get to the nearest convenient point in zone 4 - one of the Croydon tram stops. Into Croydon, but couldn't use East Croydon or West Croydon main line stations (Zone 5 again), so took tram all the way to Wimbledon and from there took the first London-bound train - one for Luton via Herne Hill, got off that one at Farringdon. Very circuitous route. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:57, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
@Redrose64: That's awful....you are very dedicated to have finally reached your destination. Will catch up next time.Whispyhistory (talk) 07:02, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
@Redrose64: How do I ping someone?Whispyhistory (talk) 15:00, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Short answer: like this. Long answer: in a single edit, you need to: add at least one new line containing text; that text must contain a link to the user page of every person who is to be notified (templates like {{reply to}}, {{u}} and {{user}} create such links); you need to sign it. More at WP:Echo. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:55, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Philip Caves

On 20 November 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Philip Caves, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Philip Caves' influence on attitudes at Glasgow's Children's Hospital in the 1970s was described as "whirlwind" as he operated on newborns previously considered unfit for surgery? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Philip Caves. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Philip Caves), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Alex Shih (talk) 00:02, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: The birth date and death date in infobox are not entered correctly. What do I do? Whispyhistory (talk) 13:53, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
I couldn't get the formatting to work properly either and when I got part of working it put the month first then the day so I have just changed it to plain text entry.

There are images in both, the first is probably most suitable but it is certainly still copyright and can therefore only be added under fair use once the article is live. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:37, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

the images @Philafrenzy: Whispyhistory (talk) 20:49, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

There might be a good DYK in it. Refs need checking now I have moved everything around. Found a great pic showing the baby peeping out from the mother's hood. Philafrenzy (talk) 01:57, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: You did an amazing job with Dodding, thank you. I'll have another look later. Let me know what else I can do on this article. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:04, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, it's coming along. I think it needs more non-Inuit material about Dodding or people will say it is really an article about the Inuit. There must be more out there. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
I think it is ready for a DYK now. I will nominate it shortly. There is much more and deeper analysis to be done but we have to stop somewhere. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:59, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: sure, I couldn't find anything else and even checked at Wellcome library. I saw the original Munk's roll 1578 which says what we know already. Interested to see what dyk you come up with. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:14, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

'The Doctor'

@Philafrenzy: and @Redrose64:. Can I make a new article on Luke Fildes painting 'the doctor'? There is lot to know about it. If so, how do I start a new draft or sandbox? Whispyhistory (talk) 15:18, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

A draft gets more comments from the community. LoopZilla (talk) 15:52, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
How can I start an article to work on @LoopZilla: Whispyhistory (talk) 15:54, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
My suggestion would be to go straight to a live article The Doctor (painting). As long as you create a paragraph of text with references you should have no difficulty. Start "The Doctor is a painting by Luke Fildes that is notable for ...." If you ping me I will keep an eye on it. There is material already in his bio so you will need to add sufficient to justify its existence as a separate article. If you don't want to you can just click on "Sandbox" at the top of your page and start typing. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:27, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: How do I start an article? Whispyhistory (talk) 16:32, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
I see it already exists as a redirect. Just start entering text using the link I posted above. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Do you want me to start it? Philafrenzy (talk) 16:37, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
yes please @Philafrenzy:. My sandbox has draft perioral dermatitis in it. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:39, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Done. Over to you. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:41, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: Thank you. I'm starting. Feel free to edit and add and advise. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:01, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Did you notice the image in use was a more colourful print, not the actual painting? I have changed to the real thing, though, if you ask me, the print is more aesthetically pleasing. The original is rather brown. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:11, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
I don't mind which is used. If original more accurate then use original. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
(talk page watcher) If there's space once the article is completed, it would probably be worth having both images. Because of the nature of 19th-century varnish and the tendency of carmine (the standard red paint of the time) to turn brown when exposed to light, a lot of unrestored Victorian paintings have discoloured drastically and quite often botched restoration or reworking has changed the layout of the painting, and prints are often quite informative for illustrating to the reader what the artist originally intended the painting to look like. See the twin lead image of The Combat for a particularly extreme example. ‑ Iridescent 18:22, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Agreed, I was just about to make that point. Let's see. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:24, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
I note some compositional differences too (e.g. stripe on the blanket) so it would be interesting to note if the artist did more than one version or if that was someone else's idea. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:27, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

"DID YOU KNOW" DYK. Suggest this is sent for consideration as a DYK? LoopZilla (talk) 18:38, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

OK. I can set it up since it is a little tricky. Must be done within the next few days. LoopZilla (talk) 19:28, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
See DYK LoopZilla (talk) 19:31, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
How about

Did you know that in Luke Fildes's ‘The Doctor (painting)’, the doctor resembles Luke Fildes himself. Did you know that the care his sons physician displayed during his illness inspired Luke Fildes to paint ‘The Doctor (painting)” Whispyhistory (talk) 23:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Fine. I will push it into the DYK system today. I might edit this (is it too long, for example???) LoopZilla (talk) 10:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Did you know that in Luke Fildes's The Doctor (painting), the doctor resembles Luke Fildes himself? is just over 100 characters. There is a 200 character limit. And should we have an image of the painting as part of the DYK? Or Fildes himself? LoopZilla (talk) 11:43, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Did you know that the care his sons physician displayed during his illness inspired Luke Fildes to paint The Doctor (painting) can be the ALT text (at just over 130 characters). LoopZilla (talk) 11:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
How about also Did you know that Luke Fildes's The Doctor (painting) ironically served as an emblem for both a celebration of Britain's NHS and a campaign against its equivalent in the United States.
Did you know that Luke Fildes's The Doctor (painting) was hailed as iconic due to the wish to be cared for as an individual. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
The penultimate one above is quite strong (with a little tweaking). Philafrenzy (talk) 13:26, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
.... that Luke Fildes's The Doctor (painting) ironically served as an emblem for both a celebration of Britain's NHS and a campaign against its equivalent in the United States. is 360 odd characters LoopZilla (talk) 14:19, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
"...that Luke Fildes' painting The Doctor was used to promote state-run healthcare in Britain and to campaign against it in the United States? Philafrenzy (talk) 14:26, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
great @Philafrenzy: and @LoopZilla: thank you. Who puts these on DYK? I like the last one best and then the ....cared for as an individual but all are good.Whispyhistory (talk) 18:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
I think that's you! You have done it before. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:43, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Please Template:Did_you_know_nominations/The_Doctor_(painting). How do I add image and where do I put Philafrenzy's name +/- LoopZilla. @Philafrenzy: and @LoopZilla:. Thank you so much. Philafrrenzy,,,you really added a lot. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
I have done it this time. All these things are in the fields shown in the nomination template, including the picture option which can get you top spot (probably won't be used for this one as doesn't display well in thumbnail). Are you using visual editor? Most of the "old hands" edit in the original code as that is easier in the end and more precise. You still need to add the template to the article talk page and to the list of nominations by date. Both are easy, just copy what others have done. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:28, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks @Philafrenzy: I did try to copy from previous dyk images, but was just not coming out correctly. I'll look for one to review now. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:17, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
If you are entering the article title here: Template talk:Did you know it should be difficult to go wrong. Have one that is correct open in edit mode (not visual editor) in a separate window at the same time. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:56, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Ling

Great work, I am sure you can get a DYK out of it as a 5 x expansion. I would normally use a word as a shorthand for a ref rather than a number as that is easier to understand in edit mode, either the source name or author, eg "Times" or "Smith". The Manual of Style also says don't use academic degrees in the lead, include them later in the relevant section. Honours, however, are mentioned such as OBE, medals, etc. Also, there should be no refs in the lead once we move beyond stub as everything in the lead should already be in the body of the article and referenced there per MOS:LEAD. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:25, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: How did you get an image? I need your help with all the other recommendations you mentioned. I believe I need to review a dyk before I can have another. Can you go through this at next meet up? Whispyhistory (talk) 11:33, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Of course, the reviewing guide is here Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide. I suggest you just choose something that looks straight forward and have a go. I will be happy to help. Images usually come from a Google search or a scan of a book or newspaper image. For recent deaths they will normally be "fair use" and you may need to ask for help there, but for historic bios there are often out of copyright images on Commons or you can grab a pic from a Google search if you are sure that it is out of copyright. It can be tricky but just post a message asking for advice on any particular pic you want to use. All will become clear as you progress. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:41, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
See this one for instance where I found four relevant images already on Commons: Tom Cox (highwayman) and just had to paste them in. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:15, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: I think I've exhausted this now, unless you think I can improve Whispyhistory (talk) 21:03, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Looks good, I suggest you nominate it for DYK. Just mark the review "to be done". Philafrenzy (talk) 21:49, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: ok...DYK that Robin Ling invented the Exeter stem hip which revolutionised hip replacement? Whispyhistory (talk) 21:53, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Good, Exeter hip stem might even justify it's own article. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:58, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: I've done a dyk..please check. I'm now reading through how to review Whispyhistory (talk) 16:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
I added another contributor to the article. You should mention anyone that had a significant hand in it. Please add it here: Template_talk:Did_you_know (instructions on the page). Philafrenzy (talk) 16:16, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: sorry, of course. Thank you, Whispyhistory (talk) 16:27, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: shall I try the DYK 24 Nov FVB Mice. Where should I be discussing this...here on on another talk page?Whispyhistory (talk) 16:41, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
I wouldn't but it might suit you very well. Find the nomination, click edit and add some words in the indicated section stating that you are beginning the review. The page linked immediately above has plenty of examples to copy. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:46, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
@Philafrenzy: Checked - it's new- 24th nov, long enough- 2739 characters, interesting article and referenced. They reference after first sentence...is that correct? first hook good and simple <140 characters. headings have capitals- is that correct? what do I do now and what have I missed? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:20, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Add all this below where you said you were reviewing it in the template. Use bullet points for clarity:
  • Article is new enough
  • Article is long enough at x characters
etc

You need to show everyone on the DYK project what you have done. See here: Template talk:Did you know Philafrenzy (talk) 18:31, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

  • Congratulations, you have completed your first DYK review! Its OK by the way to lightly copyedit the article for compliance with the Manual of Style or to correct obvious errors or shortcomings. For instance I linked some words and moved the urls for the refs to where they should have been. The lead should be longer and ideally shouldn't have any refs because any information in it should be in the body but on DYK we look for adequacy rather than perfection. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:10, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: you are a good mentor. thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 13:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Titles of books and paintings

Titles of books and paintings are italicised with the first letter of each major word capitalised like this Famous Book or Well Known Painting. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:12, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

got it, do the references in the 'doctor painting' look correct? Whispyhistory (talk) 10:26, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Yes. It can get tricky when a source, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales for instance, don't apply these rules themselves. Which is more right, the general rule or the formatting used in the source? Certainly in our body text we use those rules, for journals too. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:09, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Not all words are capitalised; for instance Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1. MOS:TITLECAPS gives full guidance. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:49, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Agreed, that's why I said major words. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:00, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Marcus Beck

On 8 December 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Marcus Beck, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marcus Beck.

@Philafrenzy: @LoopZilla: @Redrose64: and anyone else. Clement Price Thomas came across my way the other day as a stub.

I think more images must be out there etc Whispyhistory (talk) 10:40, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Haven't been through it in detail, but it looks sound to me. There may well be more photos but they will probably mostly be in copyright. Already removed one as a likely copyright violation. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:06, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: check please...Template:Did you know nominations/Clement Price Thomas. Do I add you, the original page creator and the other editor User talk:Verbcatcher to created by....? If so, I don't how even though I looked at how you did it. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:08, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Looks like you sorted it out. You still need to add it to the list of nominations at Template talk:Did you know or it won't be reviewed. Also his name is wrong, there is a missing apostrophe and you need to be more precise about which king it is. There are some errors in the Alt too. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:35, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Thx @Philafrenzy:. Amended but can't figure out image in dyk. Where am I going wrong? Shal I leave it out? Whispyhistory (talk) 06:21, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
The picture is fair use (still copyright) and can't be used in DYK so I removed it. Are you using the visual editor or editing directly in wikicode? I wonder if that is the reason you are having problems with some of these templates? Philafrenzy (talk) 11:14, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
P.S. Have you seen the new sources suggested on the talk page? Philafrenzy (talk) 11:26, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
P.P.S. Still isn't listed for review on the page mentioned above. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
thx @Philafrenzy:. yes moved dyk to appropriate page. I am increasingly using source editor now as I get use to it. Find it makes less mistakes. I've seen new sources. Verbcatcher was very helpful and I feel a better insight into Price Thomas's background. I used Ellis's book already and will look to add more info at some point. The caricature in Ellis's book looks good...can it be used? Thx for looking at DYK and sorry about uninteresting ones on the othe dyk. I would appreciate your comments on this dyk...you seem to word them better than me. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:23, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
I write clickbait for the Daily Mail in my spare time. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:29, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
The caricature appears to be mid twentieth century. Copyright is usually 70 years minimum after creation so I don't think it can be used. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Murray

Nice find on that additional source. I have developed a hook from it. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:59, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: I was hoping you would. It looks like he was well admired by Pinard who is felt to be pioneer of antenatal abdominal palpation. Had Murray not been so tied up with day to day work, he may have pushed his innovation and written more on it, maybe becoming the pioneer of antenatal examination himself. I really enjoyed this article. thank you too. I'll find his original article and I believe there is an image of him in the RSM archives which I will look for too. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:09, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Great. I was unclear on one point. The book states nobody believed him and implies Murray got a bit carried away. Was he able to do what he claimed? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:27, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Not much said after that. People obviously flocked to him. Realistically he probably could tell position of fetus and whether breech etc. This was at a time when palpation of pregnant abdomens was not done until labour. The fact he was doing them in the antenatal period is an innovation itself which was fobbed off by contemporaries. A bit like Lister and antisepsis,, Ross and malaria caused by parasite. Who knows, maybe he could really tell. Pinard appears to have taken much notice of it. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Chairs

Interesting point, they wouldn't have been able to afford those chairs, but we can only use it with a reliable source. Is it mentioned anywhere else? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:28, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

The point you raised for the Milk allergy DYK is the second time I have experienced a who-is-copying-what query. It appears that there is a lot of mirroring of Wikipedia content out there is the wide world of science writing.

Rose case

I've read through and copyedited what you have so far. The clarify tags I've left have reasons which explain why I think clarification is necessary. I've also added some citation needed tags, these are probably covered by the existing sources but this isn't clear (in at least one case because I rearranged the order of things). There are two other general notes/queries I have:

  • The paragraph about Charles Goodall (The Royal College of Physicians section) is unclear, e.g. is the dispensary scheme the whole nature of the competetion or an example of it?
  • The paragraph about apothecaries being the lowest category of doctor is essentially duplicated in the lead and in the parties section. It isn't needed twice, so probably best heavily trimmmed or removed from the lead and the latter section expanded.

Do feel free to revert any change you disagree with - you're the one with access to the sources and who knows the subject matter. Thryduulf (talk) 23:45, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

  • Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
  • We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
  • We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 22:10, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
