Applying to the ILAE Wikipedia Project

Hi!

I am a Mexican, 56-year-old psychologist, translator and Wikipedian, interested in epilepsy due to the following reasons:

a) I was a patient with epilepsy: first, I had several episodes during childhood (from 4 to 12 years old); later, I had another, isolated episode, in 2015, when I was 51 years old; the episodes during childhood were apparently provoked by the use of obstetrical forceps, and the isolated episode in 2015 was apparently generated by a loss (the unexpected death of a friend).

b) I was a student during two years at the School of Medicine (UNAM, a public school in Mexico City), and my interest in those years was mainly genetics.

c) I changed to the School of Psychology (also UNAM) because my father died. I finished my studies, which included several courses about neurosciences: then, my interest was mainly sleep medicine, and attended EEG labs to study epilepsy, sleep (insomnia) and some other academic issues.

d) I studied literary English-Spanish translation immediately after the end of my regular courses in psychology.

e) Several years later, I couldn't finish my PhD studies in neurosciences (which were about sleep neurosciences). I am still interested in doing them as soon as possible.

f) Meanwhile, since 2007, I have been working as a technical and scientific English-Spanish-English translator both within Wikipedia and for different legal offices and researchers.

Therefore, I may contribute as a Level 3 Editor, as a Wikipedian and as a translator.

Thanks a lot!! Hope you and your family and all your people are enjoying a very good health!!

Dear Gustavo, sorry for the delayed response. We are getting a few things ready and that is taking some time. Feel free to have a look at the project and to get work within the scope of the project. We would be happy to have you. We hope to get back to you soon. Please bear with us. Diptanshu 💬 18:33, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Colin

Diptanshu Das invited me on my talk page to join this project. I'm not so active on Wikipedia as I used to be some years ago. I wrote the featured article Ketogenic diet and the featured list List of people with epilepsy (the latter is a wee bit neglected). I also wrote a fair bit at Tuberous sclerosis. My fist edits to Wikipedia were epilepsy-related and I retain that interest. I have peer-reviewed articles that were heading towards nomination at Feature Article Candidates, helping other subject-expert editors to write prose that a lay reader can understand. I also helped develop the medical editing guidelines at WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS. -- Colin°^Talk 11:06, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Colin, sorry for the delayed response. We are getting a few things ready and that is taking some time. Feel free to have a look at the project and to get work within the scope of the project. We would be happy to have you. Additionally, let me know if you are keen on mentoring the academician folks whom we would be onboarding to Wikipedia editing. We hope to get back to you soon. Please bear with us. Diptanshu 💬 18:35, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
