Does

Does anyone know the best place to locate ambulance accident rates/statistics in the United States?

Research it on Google. Amos Han Talk 00:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

C for now, and a likely upgrade later. I'd like to see the lists towards the top turned into well-explained sentences or even paragraphs. It took me a while to figure out what the "third service" meant, even though it's sort of explained right there.

Also you might ask for a general copy edit, as there are some occasional grammar errors (for example, it should be "hospital-based", with the hyphen). Try leaving a nice note for User:Chaoticfluffy; she might have time to do it (and I think she does good work in that area) or be able to point you at the right group for it.

Hi, and thanks as always, for the guidance. I've expanded those lists at the top out into multiple paragraphs and added 14-15 references to support them. As always with your suggestions, it reads a LOT better!I've also established contact with Chaoticfluffy, who is looking forward to taking the copyediting project on (turns out she's an EMT!)and thinks it will be fun! Part of this is my fault...usually when I look at an article, I simply look at the existing content and then do a complete re-write. In this case, with so much content there I attempted, where possible, to enhance it a little, but basically left it the same style-wise and re-arranged to comply with the new format. I'm concluding that my original approach DOES provide a better result! Emrgmgmtca (talk) 14:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've upgraded the assessment based on the recent work. Thanks for your work. Have you invited ChaoticFluffy to join WPMED (or at least to put the EMS task force on her watchlist)? WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi guys :) I actually just added myself, I think (I had to join the Medicine project, or did I do it wrong?). I'm not sure what I can do besides copyediting, but I'm always open for that, at least. keɪɑtɪk flʌfi (talk) 17:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you did it correctly. I've also created a task force-specific list and added your name there. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
