We're very glad to have you editing here. I also wanted to point out Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine as a resource (most of the medically-oriented editors monitor that page closely.) --Arcadian (talk) 18:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Statistical?

In International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, you added the word "statistical" to the full name of ICD. The citation provided there is http://www.who.int/classifications/icd/en/ which doesn't have "statistical" as part of the name. Can you please specify a citation that shows "statistical" is part of the name? 156.111.111.162 (talk) 18:35, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

International statistical..." is the official full title of the ICD. It is permitted to make reference to it omiting "statistical" but here it should mention the full title, also to clarify that this is not a classification that you us to organize animals or plants, but that you categorize cases for statistical use Icdmaat (talk) 11:20, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Copy and pasting

We run "copy and paste" detection software on new edits. One of your edits appear to be infringing on someone else's copyright. See also Wikipedia:Copy-paste. We at Wikipedia usually require paraphrasing. If you own the copyright to this material please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials to grant license.

It does not as I am author and materials are shared globally. This copyright talks are becoming a real issue. I can not reinvent the text for WIKIPEDIA, the same way I can not redesign the death certificate template form that overly zealously has been removed leaving users miss the information.

Low quality edits to ICD-11

Hi Icdmaat. I've reverted all of your changes to ICD-11 because they decreased the article's quality.

• In this edit, you wrote: "[The TM chapter] consists of concepts that are a synthesis of traditional medicine diagnoses". I don't get this. The TM-chapter of the ICD-11 does not look like a synthesis to me. It's a collection of terms commonly used in TM, or TCM. Can you explain what you meant here?
• In the same edit, and the next one, you wrote that TM "has been recommended by all countries for use in primary care in the declaration of Alma Ata 1978, as well as more recently in the declaration of Astana". I read the documents you cited and they do not say that at all.
• One thing you should NEVER do is falsify quotes, i.e. having a quote say something it didn't say. You changed this quote: "[i]n many developed countries"; to this: "[i]n many high income countries" (in this edit). You also changed this quote: "to adapt that quickly"; to this: "to adopt that quickly" (in this edit).
• At the GLASS section, you changed "more closely in line" into "fully in line". But read the original source: "the codes relating to antimicrobial resistance are more closely in line with the ...".
• In this edit, you replaced "a large taxonomy" with "a large ontology". However, look at the definition of the world ontology on Wikipedia and on dictionary.com. I think you are confusing ontology with nosology.
• In the same edit, you changed "It will eventually replace the ICD-10" to "It replaces the ICD-10". I don't like this. Many countries have not even began the process of switching. In those countries, it is something that will occur eventually.
• In the same edit, you wrote: "In the ICD-11 MMS, blocks have unique codes that are shown in the print version, and not every entity necessarily has a statistical code, although each entity does have a unique id." I don't get this. In the ICD-11 MMS, blocks never have codes, only entity ids.

One thing I did like about your edits was your addition in the lead about the implementation process made by Uganda, Rwanda, Namibia, Egypt and India. Since the ICD-11 is an international standard, it makes sense to discuss this. However, this bit had no sources. If you add information, you should always tell where you got it from. I've googled it swiftly, but could not find anything. That doesn't mean it isn't true, but I would like to see some sort of evidence of your claims.

Please note that this is nothing personal. It is something I'm obliged to do to maintain the trustworthiness of Wikipedia, and to ensure that readers are getting quality text.

Take care, Manifestation (talk) 19:03, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
