Occupational hazard has been nominated for Did You Know

Hello, James Hare (NIOSH). Occupational hazard, an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. APersonBot (talk!) 23:46, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Occupational hazard

On 15 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Occupational hazard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that occupational hazards can be as diverse as infectious diseases, asbestos, poison ivy, and noise? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Occupational hazard. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Concerning s:Index:NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods

Firstly do you have a style manual for this?

Secondly, The way the current Proofread page seems to work, listing a multipage PDF as the file for a single page doesn't actually work. You should consider making a Portal and making index for each data-sheet, or uploading a combined volume. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reference errors on 21 April

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

On the Occupational hearing loss page, your edit caused an unnamed parameter error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:17, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Occupational epidemiology

Hi, I'm East Anglian Regional. James Hare (NIOSH), thanks for creating Occupational epidemiology!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Try to add more content

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. East Anglian Regional (talk) 19:22, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oil refinery

"NIOSH criteria for occupational exposure to refined petroleum solvents have been available since 1977." - this adds nothing to the article and appears to be designed solely to attract traffic to a website with which you have a conflict of interest. . . Mean as custard (talk) 19:48, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mean as custard. I am happy to review the cited literature and contribute more useful content. (Also: my apologies for the double-revert. I had forgotten that I reverted once.) James Hare (NIOSH) (talk) 19:51, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, if you change your approach. Most of your edits up to now (and those of your colleagues Special:Contributions/Brock-brac and Special:Contributions/Flarf21) seem to have been intended to promote an external website, rather than to improve Wikipedia articles by adding useful content. . .

A Barnstar for You

	The No More Bhopal Disasters Barnstar
	Thank you for your work in support of the nation's leading scientists in occupational health and safety! Flarf21 (talk) 21:26, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Technical Barnstar
	For your awesome tools at WikiProject X. I have some ideas about where to move next, where the systems you built can be put to really good use. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 22:37, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, CFCF. (On a technical note, this should probably be on my personal-account talk page, User talk:Harej.) James Hare (NIOSH) (talk) 17:03, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. The thread is Drum brake. Thank you. Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:13, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is resolved now. I apologize for over-dramatizing the situation. Several editors in the discussion linked to above made good suggestions on how to avoid the appearance of COI issues, particularly seeking consensus on talk pages rather than reverting. I look forward to working together to exapand the coverage of maintenance safety on drum brake and related topics. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:28, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Safety advice

Please note: per this edit: an article should not read like an advice column (legal, medical or otherwise). They should also follow WP:TONE. Thought I would let you know because this is pretty basic. I have removed the edit to talk so it can be rewritten to describe, not advise. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 16:20, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fountains of Bryn Mawr, understood. I indeed try to not write "advice" so much as documenting known hazards, but it makes sense that this would be hard to pull off. If you have advice on how to rephrase I would appreciate it. James Hare (NIOSH) (talk) 21:29, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs

Thank you for your recent articles, including Police officer safety and health, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:01, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including Police officer safety and health, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:01, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article idea

Is Workplace safety in healthcare settings on the needs-improvement list for you or User:Keilana? It looks like it has been changed very little since it was created by an inexperienced editor in 2009. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:47, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WhatamIdoing, great find! I didn't know that article existed. James Hare (NIOSH) (talk) 21:38, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I found it by following a link to aggression in healthcare. It's amazing how many articles there are, isn't it? WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:58, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health

Hello James Hare (NIOSH)! I do know a good deal about the subject matter but probably not as much as you. I observe that you associated with NIOSH, one of the most important organizations (governmental or nongovernmental) in the world that is concerned with workplace safety and health. Please tell me what is involved with the WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health. Iss246 (talk) 23:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Iss246! It's been a while since I've run across your name.

In general, helping a WikiProject means watching the talk page (e.g., to see if anyone asks for help), telling the others what you're working on (e.g., asking for their help), and improving OSH-related articles. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:07, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:WhatamIdoing, you have been helpful to me in the past when I've had questions about certain aspects of Wikipedia. I have appreciated you for your helpfulness. I supposed that I could watch the talk page. Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health. I will put the WikiProject on my watchlist. I will help when I can. Iss246 (talk) 04:22, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
