Hello!
Deletion of Robert Sayre article
The article you deleted (and replaced with a redirect) had been on Wikipedia for five years. I disagree with your decision to unilaterally wipe it out without an RfD vote. Sayre is notable by virtue of his co-authorship of the Atom standard, an important and widely adopted technical standard in the syndication community, and none of the personal information in the article was controversial. As someone who wants to see better encyclopedia entries for the authors of popular Internet standards on Wikipedia, I don't see why Sayre's entry should have been wiped out in its entirety instead of improved. Also, you said on my Talk page that we need to be cautious about not invading the subject's privacy with things that are private information. I agree with this, but there was nothing in the entry of that nature. Looking at caches from other sites, I see one thing about a personal health battle overcome in childhood, but I think that was cited from Sayre's own writings from his blog on Mozilla.

- I've added more thoughts on my Talk page in response to yours. If you want to discuss it further, that's probably the best place. Peterkiesler (talk) 02:12, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Since we've discussed this, you can delete this from your Talk page if you like. Peterkiesler (talk) 00:18, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
Compensation
Is it publicly disclosed anywhere how much you will be compensated for the WiR program with Cochrane? If not, is this something that you would personally disclose? - 2001:558:1400:10:4D4F:DD4B:A6F3:7A90 (talk) 14:35, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, it was published with the initial posting of the job. I have the link on my user page but for your convience I'll add it here, too. Wikipedia:Cochrane/Wikipedian in Residence The position receives a stipend of $6,500 for 6 months of part time remote work. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 14:43, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Depending on how "part" is the "part time", that seems like a dreadfully meager stipend. I wish you luck in advancing factual information on Wikipedia, regardless. Eventually, we'll see corporate (business) WiR programs, and then we'll finally have some balance on the subjects of corporations (which, to my eye, seem to bias too heavily toward petty criticisms of product or service minutiae). - 2001:558:1400:10:4D4F:DD4B:A6F3:7A90 (talk) 14:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Congrats!
Just stopping by to say congratulations on the residency. That's awesome. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 01:47, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello from Wikimed at Sinai
Please see our course page. Thanks! Salubrious Toxin (talk) 20:24, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi
Great to see you again in NY. I had no idea you had the Cochrane connection - I just sent you an email related to Cochrane.--S Philbrick(Talk) 01:07, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Cervix - in particular Cervical screening
Sydney, I somehow ended up working on cervix, which is good as there is a bit of a vibrant collaboration happening. It only has rudimentary information on cervical screening. There is a pre-FAC peer review in progress at Wikipedia:Peer review/Cervix/archive1 - feel free to comment and have a look at the article and check and cochranise sources :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:12, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Cas,
HI
Hi Sydney! My best wishes on your new position at the Cochrane Library! I Just wanted to introduce myself as another Wikipedian-in-Residence! :) Where is the best page to find recent updates about the project? Yours, OR drohowa (talk) 19:44, 26 July 2014 (UTC) (email me at dorohoward@gmail.com if you want to talk more!)
David Baker
Hi I have added my full name and brief description of who and what I am. Plus a disclaimer. My plan with the Restless Leg article is not to edit it myself but to ask a well known and respected physician to add the text so it is coming from a credible source. My task is to figure out how to do it and make sure we go through the right channels and maintain the integrity of Wikipedia. All the best David --98.189.164.60 (talk) 18:02, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Task List
Glad you liked the task list instructions Sydney. Was just mainly repeating what you all keep saying. amosabo t@lk; 13:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter Aug./Sept. 2014
Medical Translation Newsletter
Issue 2, Aug./Sept. 2014
by CFCF
Feature – Ebola articles
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
- Just some of our over 60 translations:
- New roles and guides!
At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page!
- New sign up page!
We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed!
- Style guides for translations
Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes.
- Some more stats
- In July, 18 full article translations went live (WP:RTT), and an additional 6 simplified versions went live (WP:RTTS)!
- We have a number of new lead integrators into Dutch, Polish, Arabic and Bulgarian, with more to come in smaller languages! (Find them here old sign up page)
- We were mentioned in a Global Voices Online report by Subhashish Panigrahi at Doctors and translators are working together to bridge Wikipedia's medical language gap
- New medical professionals have started, dedicated to working in Odiya and Kinyarwanda!
- Further reading
- Translators Without Borders
- Healthcare information for all by 2015, a global campaign

WikiData
Hey Sidney, I just had a brainwave while working on a presentation. Would it be useful to link Cochrane reviews to clinical items on Wikidata? This would massively improve accessibility and would be easy to update whenever a new version of a review appears. JFW | T@lk 11:54, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- @ User:Jfdwolff Hi Jacob, that sounds like an interesting idea. Could you give me a specific example about how it will work? Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 18:29, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Give me a link?
Hey Sydney,
At this point, the article's hopeless, but I'm curious about the subject now. Can you give me a link to one of those many sources that talks about how a person develops epilepsy? A lay source is just fine, since that's what most of our readers will be looking at and therefore that's what our readers' expectations will be formed by. I haven't been able to find one. I can find plenty of sources that use the word "unknown" to describe the mechanism of epilepsy, and I find plenty of sources that talk about the well-understood mechanism of having a seizure. However, I find zero that identify a mechanism of getting epilepsy.
To be clear, I'm looking for a mechanism that can go in a section on the mechanism of epilepsy itself, not a section on the mechanism of having a seizure. (Act now, or someone will revert those links.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

FergusM1970
FergusM1970 writes here that you know "the articles [FergusM1970] was paid to edit." Is that true? When did he inform you of this? Were you aware that the Terms of Use, linked at the bottom of every page, says "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation?" Hipocrite (talk) 15:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- His statement on ANI was a bit disingenuous, no? Sorry for the formal tone above, he certainly implied he disclosed it to you well before today. Hipocrite (talk) 16:16, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- No problems, you were confused. And yes, it could be implied that I knew about it much longer. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 16:27, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Cochrane Collaboration
Hi Sydney,
I've just read that you're the Wikipedian in Residence at the Cochrane Collaboration - I don't know how I missed that, but belated congratulations! Since September, I've been Wikimedian in Residence at the Royal Society of Chemistry; see Wikipedia:GLAM/Royal Society of Chemistry for details. Do you have a page like that? I found Wikipedia:Cochrane/Wikipedian in Residence, but it's out of date.
We recently launched a Wikipedia Library donation: Wikipedia:RSC Gold which may be of interest to some of your collaborators; please let them know about it, and do let me kwow if you have any ideas on how we might collaboarate, or if I can help you in any way. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:24, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
