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. 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 requires recent secondary sources to support information; its 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.

• Wikipedia is a kingdom full of 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, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it 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! --LT910001 (talk) 21:58, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Please advise

Hi,

You've classified the articles I added re. an online tool for helping individuals assess and monitor their well-being as promotional material. The online tool is actually free for users and we intend to help individuals improve their well-being by talking about our work on appropriate pages in Wikipedia. What can I do to make sure that it is not considered promotional in nature? Should I change the language or is it something else? Nimpal (talk) 08:25, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

• The trouble is wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a place to promote a product, even one that it doesn't cost money to use. You could have a look at What Wikipedia is not for further info on Wikipedia's policies about this. Drchriswilliams (talk) 08:42, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Thurso

Congratulations, you've just thwarted any chances of this article being rewritten and perhaps promoted to GA. It's a mess, it needs rewriting from scratch which I was going to do over the next few days, I won't bother now.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:04, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

• Hi Dr. Blofeld I agree that there are serious issues with the Thurso article but I hope you will recognise that when you blanked much of the content didn't give any indication of any plan you might have had to do any of the rewriting. I would like you to understand that I had reverted your removal of content on the basis that I couldn't see anything to signal any intent to improve the article. If you are able to spare any further efforts to work on the article further I would appreciate it. I'll also try to lend a hand. I'm sure there would be many other people who would welcome this page being improved. Thanks. Drchriswilliams (talk) 11:15, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

The idea was to restore it section by section with proper sourcing and removing a lot of the bloat and poorly formatting. It makes it much for difficult approaching the article now as it is. Rosie and I started Thurso Castle.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:35, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

There you go, that wasn't so bad was it? That's the initial cleanup. Perhaps I'll expand it further later today/this coming week.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:02, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Social work portal

Category:NHS Scotland hospitals is a sub-category of Category:Social care in Scotland, which is the reason for its inclusion in the social work portal. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 03:32, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Okay, its a sub-category of a sub-category Category:NHS Scotland, but Category:NHS Scotland hospitals is still part of Category:Social care in Scotland, please stop reverting. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 03:37, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Spamming? How is it spamming? WikiProjects on talk pages say, "This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:", it is "of interest" to social care, or are there no free prescriptions for anyone in a Scottish hospital? --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 03:47, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk before Undo the edits

What is your Problem in the Link added by me in Scottish independence referendum, 2014? Talk before you undo.--Tenkasi Subramanian (talk) 20:43, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

It is not an "external link". It is an article from a newspaper. Please integrate it into the article if you feel that there is content that belongs in the article. Drchriswilliams (talk) 20:47, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

oh Ok. Thanks.--Tenkasi Subramanian (talk) 21:12, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Message for Chris (re EE) ~ Alasdair writing

Never tried this before, so don't really know if it will work, or if it is correct etiquette? IN case you are fed-up of EE, there is some explanatory/apologetic info in the talk pages. As I say there, your comment pointed me to a the material on lead writing from which I cut the following: "The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies . . ." It is clear that the lead which includes the text "property of the relationship" does not really achieve any of these objectives effectively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.152.168 (talk) 14:44, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Alasdair. This is the correct place to leave a comment. As I said on the Employee engagement talk pages, I don't particularly support the material that had been used so far in this article's lead. As I also said, it would be good to reach consensus. I note that there was a significant difference of opinion between you and another editor. I would again repeat my advice that working to improve other sections of the article might be the best way to be able to establish consensus around the lead section.

i created an article "list of indian doctors associations" some one disrupts the order , so today i edited again....my id *ydsameeksh*....thanking you sir , i created this article on 26, april 2014 , wikipedia accepts this article ...thanking you sir— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ydsameeksh (talk • contribs) 16:23, 4 March 2015

I have made edits to remove material that you have added to the List of Indian doctors' associations article. I have done this because the material that you are inserting does not appear to belong in this online encyclopaedia. For further information on the relevant Wikipedia policy, have a look here: WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Drchriswilliams (talk) 17:56, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

LMS

You have deleted my addition, saying it is copyrighted material. But the reference is given. This is what I don't understand. If this is copyrighted and then the first reference on that page is also copyrighted, then why that can stay there. Thanks.
