Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine

Welcome to the WikiProject Medicine. The purpose of this project is to help editors assess and prioritize medical articles on Wikipedia. Category:Medicine is a broad field; while there are always articles that need improvement, there are some for which it is especially important to write a high-quality article. Both preclinical and clinical topics are welcome here. Feel free to add your assessment of unrated articles, and to update the status of articles that have improved (or degenerated). You may even create your own list, although it's probably best to bring it up on the talk page. Thanks to WikiProject Chemicals and WikiProject Anti-war for inspiration.

This project aims to assist with prioritization and collaboration (it also hosts the Medicine Collaboration of the Week). It is the "parent" of two WikiProjects, WikiProject Clinical medicine and WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. Guidelines for and discussions of relevant articles can be found at those projects, and at the IRC Channel

Editor	Article	Comment
User: chyu83	M.D.	This is among several articles thare are poorly written and have irrelevant and biased information. Please take a look and expand and correct. Chyu83 00:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
User:Mrzaius	Megalomania	After three years, this article remains little more than a dictionary definition. It has been proposed in the past that the page be rewritten, merged with others, or replaced with the disambiguation page, but nothing's ever come of it. Would someone qualified to make the call please let us know whether or not the megalomania, in the context of psychology, warrants coverage in a full-blown Wikipedia article, and, if it does, what sources to draw from to expand it? MrZaiustalk 11:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
User:OsteopathicFreak	Allopathic medicine	On-going dispute over the content of Allopathic medicine. Please comment.OsteopathicFreak 19:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
User:Fanra	Micromastia	Requesting comments: Talk:Micromastia#Request for Comment: Micromastia. Dispute over the meaning of the word and also whether the article should mention the controversy about the word. Fanra 17:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
