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. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles, such as your edits to the article Abbott Laboratories; it's great to have a new 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 require recent secondary sources to support information; their 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, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them 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 questions. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! — Prodraxis {talkcontributions} (she/her) 14:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so much for you encouragements and guidance. For years now Wikipedia has made my work easier. I figured it is time for me to contribute! I have been working offline on a bio. I might ping you for p2p feedback when I am done. Particleshow22 (talk) 23:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Did you know? nominations edit

Hiya, Prodraxis here :) (same username, new signature, eh?) You may remember me as the editor who left a welcome message on your Talk page a few months ago. I've been seeing that you've been writing more articles about medical subjects since you've joined, which is amazing - they are very much well referenced and well written. Do you wish to nominate one of the articles you created to be featured on the Did You Know section on the Main Page? Articles that were created, expanded fivefold in prose or taken to Good Article status within 7 days of nominating are eligible for getting Did You Know? credit. Articles must have at least 250 words of prose to be considered for DYK. You can use this gadget to help nominate articles, and you can refer to this as an example DYK nomination that I've done in the past. If you need help with this, feel free to reach out to me anytime. All the best, #prodraxis connect 18:37, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oh thank you @Prodraxis: for letting me know. I didn't know how to nominate so this is definitely valuable. I am a bit busy writing some valuable articles. It would be great to nominate of of my articles. I will try to do it soon when I find some spare time. Particleshow22 (talk) 11:45, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Prodraxis: Hey! Would please help me and review this book article I just finished working on? Always appreciating your constructive collaboration. Particleshow22 (talk) 16:52, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Particleshow22:   Done Reviewed. Do you want to nominate it for Did You Know as well in addition? #prodraxis connect 17:08, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Prodraxis:Thank you! Yes please it would great if you can nominate it as well. Particleshow22 (talk) 19:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Particleshow22   Done see here. In the future feel free to self nominate your articles though as most DYK articles are self noms. #prodraxis connect 21:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

John Oghalai edit

Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Medicine. I am seeking assistance in a matter regarding the page of Dr. John Oghalai. W12SW77 (talk) 04:00, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sure I'll look at it and get back to you when I got the time.Particleshow22 (talk) 18:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

DYK for War Against Smallpox edit

On 13 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article War Against Smallpox, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that War Against Smallpox describes how Edward Jenner's vaccination technique spread across Europe during the Napoleonic Wars? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/War Against Smallpox. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, War Against Smallpox), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started edit

Hello, Particleshow22. Thank you for your work on Gary Gereffi. Herpetogenesis, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Nice work!

@Herpetogenesis: Thank you! I read Gereffi's book Global Value Chains and Development (Cambridge Univ. Press, 2018) which led me to do some research about him. I was surprised there wasn't an entry about him considering his extensive work on Global value chains, and so I decided to do it. Particleshow22 (talk) 20:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have sent you a note about a page you started edit

Hello, Particleshow22. Thank you for your work on The Market Opportunity Navigator. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I wonder whether you could take a look at the last 5-or-so references on the current version. They seem completely out of place - biomedical papers from the 1970s, before the creator was (ah) active.

@Klbrain: Thank you for your detailed and on-point feedback. I took action: copy-edited and removed irrelevant sources. By the way, the last couple of weeks I have noticed that pages take longer to be reviewed, it is because of some sort of a huge backlog of pages waiting to be reviewed? Thank you. Particleshow22 (talk) 20:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is a very large and rapidly expanding backlog on new page review; in fact, I've only just joined the team of reviewers (I usually focus on merging), in part because they need the help! You can see the backlog at the top of Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol. We're seeing lots of translation drives, plus the Women in Red initiatives; all good causes, but it does create some work. Klbrain (talk) 21:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wow 13837 articles in the backlog as of the time of writing this. I am thinking about devoting more time to writing articles and I might even think about becoming a reviewer myself. One has to give back to the project! Particleshow22 (talk) 10:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

One more request,

Can you help ?? Rathod Dharmarajsinh (talk) 08:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rathod Dharmarajsinh: It should be patrolled by a reviewer soon. There is currently a huge backlog which is heavy and hard work for reviewers; all you can do is wait. Particleshow22 (talk) 23:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
