Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!
editWelcome 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. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested 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 problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! JFW | T@lk 09:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
Cochrane-Wikipedia Work
editHello! It great to see you contributing to the Cochrane-Wikipedia Project. Thank you for helping with the recent updates flagged by the Cochrane bot. I noticed that you are also interested in contributing in French. We have a french project that was started a few years ago but lost steam. Here is the project page but unfortunately the individual helping is not longer on this project. Regardless, it is great to have you helping with the English Project! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if I can help support your efforts. JenOttawa (talk) 01:09, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

- One more quick note! We did try to get the Cochrane Update Bot up and working in French Wikipedia in order to flag reviews for which a more recent version has been published by the Cochrane Library. Each language Wikipedia has different rules in their communities and the bot was rejected. You can see the discussion here, in case you are interested! I have a really kind volunteer who can run the actual bot, it was the community that did not like the idea of the articles being editing with the "needs update" template. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Bot/Statut/Archive_10#Pi_bot_%3A_Discussion_avec_Mike_Peel JenOttawa (talk) 01:27, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, Glafoululle des Alpes.
Thank you for your work; it's really important. I believe that, if you wanted to help with French Wikipedia articles, then User:Zythème would be able to help you figure out where Cochrane reviews and other sources of evidence-based medicine are most needed there.

- Hello,
- I don't contribute much on medical articles but I plan to do it. Many important articles are at a very low level on French Wikipedia. The assessment table also helps target priorities. I suggest you write your request on the discussion page of the medicine project in French. Sorry, but I used an automatic translator, but I think I'm understandable :) Zythème (talk) 10:20, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Embryo transfer
editHello again! I happened to notice you recent edit to Embryo transfer and update to the Cochrane Review. Your edits are looking great! I made a small adjustment, removing the source of the evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Embryo_transfer&action=history In most cases, it is not necessary to share information about the actual review in the text. Since this is written for people who do not have a medical background, those that are interested in learning more about where the evidence came from and the PICO information can look at the citation. If you are interested, I wrote a brief "cheatsheet" for these types of edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia_editing_for_medical_experts Please feel free to reach out anytime!

- This Menopause edit looks terrific https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Menopause&type=revision&diff=1006251439&oldid=1005675583&diffmode=source Thank you again! JenOttawa (talk) 14:21, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

| Thank you for updating the Cochrane reviews! That's really useful, I might never have noticed that FRIN needed updating without your edit. It's good to have the article up-to-date, and I've templated the Japanese translation for the update, too. HLHJ (talk) 02:22, 15 February 2021 (UTC) |
I see you're fairly new here, but doing excellent work and sticking around despite the usual learning-curve frustrations. On taffeta, it seems like there might be useful information here, but translation and access are issues:
Matsudaira, M.; Nakano, K.; Yamazaki, Y.; Hayashi, Yoshiteru; Hayashi, Osamu (22 April 2009). "Effects of weave density, yarn twist and yarn count on fabric handle of polyester woven fabrics by objective evaluation method". Journal of the Textile Institute. 100 (3): 265–274. doi:10.1080/00405000701757727.
I hope you will not be discouraged from making edits on that sort of topic. I find it frustrating that our physics and math content is often so strangly conceptually unlinked to our content on everyday experience. This is especially bad for textile-related topics, with significant consequences, for instance for public-health agencies trying to tell the general public what cloth to make COVID-19 masks out of. Quantifiable physical properties are important. Wikipedia:WikiProject Textile Arts and its talk page may be useful to you.
In response to your user page, you seem to be doing well, I'm not sure if this will be useful, but the page Help:Wikipedia editing for researchers, scholars, and academics is aimed at people with your sort of background. HLHJ (talk) 02:22, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
WikiProject Medicine contest
editA WP:WikiProject is a group of editors who like to work together on articles. If you're interested in improving health-related articles, you're welcome to join us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine. It's a good place to ask questions or to help each other out.
You're also welcome to join the informal, low-key contest about adding citations to articles: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikipedia/WikiProject_Medicine_reference_campaign_2023?enroll=qyoufwds (All you have to do is sign up at that link, and then edit normally. Everything else is automated.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:09, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
