Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Antiarrhythmic effect of Quifenadine in children

Hi everyone! I'm working on expanding the article on the antihistamine Quifenadine, which appears to have an antiarrhythmic effect. Most articles on the drug are in Russian, and since I do not have a medical background I am having a hard time making sense of the results in the Google/DeepL translated article on the drug's antiarrhythmic effect in children. Could someone help me to summarise this study's conclusions in the article? Thanks, Doanri (talk) 17:16, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Doanri. This study was published 2 years later by the same authors as the article you are interested in, enrolled twice as many patients, and was published in English. It doesn't appear to address exactly the same question but is probably a better replacement. However, bear in mind that we would normally try to avoid citing primary research papers and instead aim to use secondary sources such as review articles. If a reliable secondary source can't be found to support the text you want to add, you should think carefully about whether the information should be added at all. Thanks, PeaBrainC (talk) 20:20, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! Doanri (talk) 08:51, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Need help with Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia

Could you please review the anatomy section of the article on paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, particularly the description of the ECG image? I added this section as a whole, although I'm not a cardiologist. Thank you! I also edited the paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in many other places. If you could, please then review the whole article. Thank you in advance! Maxim Masiutin (talk) 12:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Iztwoz, can you please help review the section and the image caption in this section? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 18:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Have made a few edits but I am no expert. Best Iztwoz (talk) 11:28, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Why did you remove the following explanation "Lead II of electrocardiogram shows 3 rapid heartbeats, supraventricualar extrasistoles due to atrioventricular nodal reentry, shown as red, demonstraining unexplained onset and stop of the episode in paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia among normal heart rhythm shown as blue"?

Your edit summary tells "minor ce", but it does not explain why removing this explanation is to be removed? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 11:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

All I removed was "Lead II" which is not understandable to a general reader.--Iztwoz (talk) 19:20, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

There were already "Lead" mentioned in another image in this reference. I hope that with a hyperlink it will be easier to understand when "Lead" has a wikilink, OK? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 19:23, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

I put wikilink to Lead II so now it would be easier to understand the term by clicking the wikilink Maxim Masiutin (talk) 12:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Per your request, I am more than happy to take a look at this section - cheers.
