If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ _Talk 00:44, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Yennyyang, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

Hi, I think you did a great work on the iatrophysics edit. A lot of information was needed to give a complete summary of the topic, and you did well with adding that information. Mkang29 (talk) 12:20, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Iatrophysics

Hello, I'm a student in history of modern medicine this semester as well and am interested in working on Iatrophysics. What did you have in mind to write about Iatrophysics? I've a few sources on theories related to muscle mechanics and circulation but would like to hear about what you were thinking and go from there to decide on what to write on and such. Did you also clear this topic with your TA yet? I've yet to formally contact mine but would like to have a better idea on what exactly to write about as I think there are quite a few options available to pursue. I can be reached by my JHU email which is the same as my Wikipedia handle. Thanks, Hnguye68 (talk) 21:48, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Sorry it took me a while to see this. I did talk to my TA and he said that it may be easier to choose a topic that is about a specific person, since the topic of iatrophysics is pretty broad. I'm really interested in this subject though and I'm definitely willing to take on the challenge! I think it would be awesome to collaborate on this together. Muscle mechanics and circulation sounds great! I also thought about writing a little bit on Giovanni Borelli and his work in particular, since he had such a huge influence on the field. I also wanted to focus on how iatrophysics impacted medicinal thought and how it changed views of the body. Thanks!

Here are some sources that you can check out that I found for Borelli below.

iatrophysics to biomechanics - Borelli to Pauwels http://www.boneandjoint.org.uk/content/jbjsbr/74-B/3/335.full.pdf

I also have a rough draft/outline on the article in my sandbox here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hnguye68/sandbox

that you can take a look at. I find that while iatrophysics is indeed pretty broad, I think it could still use a brief overview along with specific people in iatrophysics. I can work on some blurbs for other iatrophysicists that I found if you have a lot to discuss on Borelli already. Let me know what you think, 19:57, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Your talk page looks really great. I really like the format and think we should go with it. I like how you mention a lot of different contributors to iatrophysics and their specific influence. I was also thinking of creating a section that very briefly talks about the relation of iatrophysics to iatrochemistry, since they aren't incredibly disparate in their ways of thought. What do you think?

A section discussing iatrochemistry and iatrophysics parallels would be a good idea after subfields since a quite a few people dabbled in both from what I've read. I do think that this will be ambitious since its broad so it probably won't be a whole lot for this time around. I'll probably focus on Descartes and maybe another person like Harvey or Sanctorio for this time around though. Also for easier communication you can reach me by my JHED (hnguye68@jhu.edu) since I check this more often than wikipedia pages. Hnguye68 (talk) 02:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Iatrophysics at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 11:49, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Iatrophysics

Hello! Your submission of Iatrophysics 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) 07:49, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you have added this nomination to the correct page—I've had to move it to the correct date, March 3, when you began the expansion to the article—you need to supply an actual hook for the nomination on the nomination page. We cannot review this without the hook. Your other classmates have provided such hooks on their nominations; perhaps they can help you, or you could always request the assistance of Ian (Wiki Ed), who posted to this page last month. Best of luck! BlueMoonset (talk) 07:49, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is your final notice to provide a hook for your nomination. Without a hook, we will have no choice but to fail the nomination. We will need a response from you within a few days. Thank you for your cooperation. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:07, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
