UCSF Inquiry Immersion 2022 - Workplan
Hello, we are current medical students who are working to edit and improve medical wikipedia pages as part of a learning initiative at UCSF!
We have a few goals for improvement that we would like to implement within this article and are categorically working on improving these aspects of the Gynecomastia page:
- Remove gendered terminology from this page to remain inclusive
- Review current content for outdated or vague information and edit accordingly to maintain clinical accuracy
- Review Signs and Symptoms content for appropriate accuracy and detailed language that is patient-oriented
- Engage with current medical literature in the field of gynecomastia and update the Causes, Pathophysiology, and Diagnosis sections to reflect the breadth of underlying etiologies to Gynecomastia
- Reorganize Causes, Pathophysiology, and Diagnosis sections with appropriate Headings and visual aids to facilitate ease of understanding
- Add clinically useful images to supplement the content of the page AN ucsf (talk) 02:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
UCSF Inquiry Immersion 2022 review-Javarcia
Howdy WikiCommunity, I'm a UCSF medical student (and classmates with the student editors who revised the Gynecomastia article this past month). I'm providing some feedback for additional edits that might be helpful for anyone who edits this article in the future.
After reading the article, I can see the hard work you all have put in! I appreciate the addition of the table, the additional and updated sources, and the restructuring of the pathophysiology section to be more specific and thorough. I did not find any irrelevant information, non-neutral claims/framing, or unsupported facts in the paper (though I could have easily missed something!).
With regards to future edits, I think these edits could be helpful: maybe clarify/change the wording around secondary vs. central gynecomastia (it's called one in the androgen deficiency section but the other in the hypogonadism section. Are they the same, different?); define AMAB upon first usage (currently AMAB is used for the first time in the Diagnosis section but is not defined there or prior to); revise the article additionally to make the AMAB/individual with testes usage more consistent (both with regards to using that language throughout the entire article AND maybe deciding to use one or the other throughout the article for ease of reading).
On a broader level for the WikiCommunity, it might be helpful for future editors to reduce some of the jargon present in the article overall. Most of this came from the previous state of the article (as opposed to from our med students' edits), but it could improve the article and make it more accessible.
Great work so far, I learned a lot reading this article!! ~~~ Javarcia (talk) 03:13, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- UCSF Inquiry Immersion 2022 Peer review #2 by Jvb26
Overall great job so far making the edits. It is very evident that this group has put a lot of work into improving this page. I want to address first that I believe that you have met all goals set on your workplan. You have successfully made the language of this article more gender inclusive. Also, I appreciate the changes made to the pathophysiology section from the new organization, extra level of detail that is included in each section, and that you updated the information that was out of date from prior revisions. The organization that you have now is consistent with wikipedia's manual of style for Medicine related articles.
Some more general feedback:
- This article includes relevant and recent publications, it also includes citations where necessary.
- The tone of the article is neutral and does not appear to have bias
- Facts are supported by reliable sources
- Most sources included are reviews from peer reviewed journal articles.
Small feedback the group can consider implementing: - The two images on the Gynecomastia box on the right of the summary of the article do not load properly. I tried this in different word browsers and they do not load, the link also takes me to a place that says the page does not exist. All the other images besides those two are correctly loaded. - Some of the wording can be simplified to include less jargon so that it is more understandable for people less familiar with the topic. - Under the "society and culture section", consider removing source 70 and associated information. This source is not as high quality and the information that it is used to cite is not in that article. (note: this was not an source included by UCSF students, it was included in prior revisions but I figured I might as well comment on here since its a minor edit)
Wonderful job at significantly improving this article!
