Keesiewonder talk edit

Execllent! Thanks for your note. Yes, perhaps we can collaborate on something. I'm buried in an assignment on immunology right now, but did notice this morning that Wikipedia lacked an entry for SIS (Small intestinal submucosa), so I added it and began a discussion page for it. So, that could be an alternative to your work on connexin. Just a thought. I expect you are more advanced in the science material than I am, and you're certainly more fluent with all things Wiki! I'll study up on your connexin material when I get a breather, and will at least put a watch on it now. By the way, I'm in New England, USA. Keesiewonder 19:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey, that sounds good. I doubt I'm more advanced in science (just a lowly undergrad :) but I know my way around PubMed. So, ya that sounds good. I'm not well versed in GI but I'll do some research on the submucosa. I'll check some other stuff too tomorrow. Maybe we can get a couple articles going and a couple other people in on this. I'm at UWO in London, ON. JE.at.UWOU|T 23:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ah ... well, then *all* of your education is current while mine spreads out for probably 20 years more than yours. Could make for a good collaborative team ... Thanks for your enthusiasm. And I voted for connexin! --Keesiewonder 12:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey, Keesiewonder (by the way, do you have any idea what the general concensus is on posting messages to people? Do you respond on the talk page where the convo was started or do you keep posting on each others talk page?) Anyway. I created a page for SIS and put up a small definition so the new page patrollers don't delete it, but I don't know a lot about the subject (though it sounds very interesting). Unfortunatly, it seems I slept through most of cell biology in second year and struggled woefully with it, however, though other courses I have learned a great deal about molecular biology at it pertains to clinical or laboratory applications (e.g. c-fos). However, it sounds interesting. Is it a current topic of research for you? As you become more of a wikiholic, you'll find yourself editing pages on things you've just seen lectures on or researched (see sex determination and differentiation(human) for an example of how I just had to run home and create a page from a lecture in reproductive physiology, lol). Anyway, you should probably add a much more concise and articulate definition on SIS. I better get to class. Best Regards JE.at.UWOU|T 18:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • I'll have to get back to you Tuesday since I have an assignment due. All I'll say for now is material I had submitted yesterday or Saturday has disappeared ... I had started a page also and had provided a paragraph I'd written plus 2 scholarly resources. Do you know how to find what was deleted ... Or shall I recreate it? What a pain. It is so discouraging that some people have time to ruin things but not time to make the world or themselves a better place if only in some small way. More later ... :-) --Keesiewonder 19:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
So true. I'm not sure how to find that out, but I will look into it. Enjoy the wikiholiday and good luck with the assignment. I'm lucky that I have a relatively low workload until xmas finals :) --JE.at.UWOU|T 20:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Hey, I found it. Hope you can see it too. I probably created it in the wrong way.[[1]]--Keesiewonder 20:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
What's the page link? -- JE.at.UWOU|T 20:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ahhh, I see the problem. Wikipedia is all "case sensitive". I've recently found out that its best to create articles that contain lowercase letters i.e. small intestinal submucosa instead of Small Intestinal Submucosa. Check out WP:MOSHEAD for more info. I'll create a redirect instead. Best, JE.at.UWOU|T 20:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Moved my SIS discussion page under your SIS article page. I probably did it wrong though ... used copy/paste then realized I should have exercised the move tab. I see you're interested in immunology too! :-) I'm late for work ... --Keesiewonder 13:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Glad you like my user page updates! I posted a citation for an article discussing cardiac stents on the/our SIS discussion page. I'll track down the NEJM article you mentioned - I see aortic stents daily in my work. I'm much better reading French than writing it ... need to brush up on the tenses ... I take it you've lived in France for 4 months ... but French speaking Canada all your life ... Later ... Keesiewonder 19:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
I found the link to the journal article (via PubMed). And dispite popular belief, most people in Canada don't even like French, haha, i had to take it in grade school and hated it. I'm glad I kept with it though, because it is useful having another language. I'm trying to pick up a bit of german because my moms family is german and my grandpa stil speaks it a bit. My girlfriends greek so I might try and learn a few words of that too:)

Immune system edit

I kinda like the image that is there now, for the simple reason that the text is easier to read at a smaller size. I did not "create" any of the original images and am not particularly attached to them, I just like them because A)the one there now is easy to read at small size (and this one does show the disulfide bond) and B)the original one shows where the antigen binds to the antibody. But like I said, not particularly attached and like you said I don't own the page and if you feel your image is better, put it in.

Anyhow I do have a few suggestions of antibody based images that would be nice to include in several other articles, and would be really easy to add if you feel like modifying your diagram. Off the top of my head a diagram showing the FC and FAb regions, but others too.

Also, would you consider uploading your images to the commons? I have been trying to compile all of the immunology related images there (when possible), so that that are all in one place and so that all of the wikis can use them easily. You can see what else is there if you want:Category:Immunology. Let me know if you want me to move them to the commons, I can do it pretty easily. Keep up the good work, and thanks! Cheers--DO11.10 02:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have moved four pictures to the commons (they are tagged with "Now commons".) If you feel that the information is presented fine on the commons page you can delete the image from wikipedia, and they will remain at the commons and in all of your articles. As always you can anonymously edit at the commons, but you cannot upload anything. Keep up the good work--DO11.10 18:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: "General Comment" edit

Thanks, it is good to know that someone is getting use out of the article. Since there haven't really been any changes to the immune system article in the last two months I was thinking about maybe putting the article up as a candidate for Featured Article. What do you think???

I would like to be able to contribute more, especially over the holidays, but my research (and more specifically my boss) need much attention at the moment. If there is anything though.... Cheers and happy editing!!!--DO11.10 21:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey Je noticed your edit to Trevor Marshall, and wanted to point out that those Keogh EJ, et. al. papers are not papers by Trevor Marshall. "T Marshall" could refer to Tom Marshall or Terry Marshall, or Thorvald Marshall. For the most part, you have to be specific and type in "Trevor Marshall" to bring up the correct citations. Just trying to help- good move though, cleaning it up. Also did you happen to notice this bit by Sarabrate: "In regards to your corrections of the first paragraph, I feel it goes a bit overboard. Give the reader a little credit! I think they can certainly infer from the original piece that the MP is one of many treatments for chronic disease. I also think readers can infer on their own that the treatment is controversial, seeing as there are no statements in the piece that even come close to saying that the MP is the only treatment option for sarcoidosis etc." Shheesh! As always, Cheers!--DO11.10 18:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Oh wait I see you just move that part, well maybe it is him???--DO11.10 18:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

James Clerk Maxwell FA Status edit

lol, "edit" button? I never knew there was an "edit" button :). Normally, I would actually edit the article and fix problems I pointed out; lately though, I haven't been finding enough time to do this, so I tend to simply copy+paste a bunch of examples.

About the grammar, User:Tony1 has an useful guide at User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a. Also, while I'm here, the "See also" section is bloated – why is there a link to a redirect to the article (Maxwell, and twice)? Thanks, AZ t 23:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

AfD Nomination: Wii elbow edit

An editor has nominated the article Wii elbow for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wii elbow. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Wii elbow during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

Unspecified source for Image:James_Clerk_Maxwell.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:James_Clerk_Maxwell.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:46, 30 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lokal_Profil 18:46, 30 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Londonflag.PNG edit

 

Image:Londonflag.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MRIjournal.gif edit

Thanks for uploading Image:MRIjournal.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Milton-hand.jpg edit

Thank you for uploading Image:Milton-hand.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Schulich logo sm.gif) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Schulich logo sm.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Improving Immunology Articles edit

Hi Je at uwo, I am simply an editor who thinks some of the immunology articles on Wikipedia are far from complete and the quality can be easily improved.

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!) edit

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Nomination of Small intestinal submucosa for deletion edit

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Small intestinal submucosa is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Small intestinal submucosa until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. LT910001 (talk) 03:23, 21 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

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 Medicine

Spotlight - 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:

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?

CFCF - "IEG beneficiary" and editor of this newsletter.

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 [4]

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers edit

Hi Je at uwo,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
