Media files
[edit]- Wikimedia Commons has 183 media files related to blood transfusion
- Most are historic and there is a dearth of diagrams (the sort seen at Commons:Category:Images from Cancer Research UK)
- These images were seen more than 700,000 times in August 2016, but as would be expected from the above the most viewed image is historical, dating from WWII
Next steps
[edit]To improve Wikipedia articles and track and co-ordinate efforts internationally a WikiProject (or task for of WikiProject Medicine) could be established.
- Establishing a WikiProject would
- create a central place where contributors can share their work
- Allow tracking of editors active on related articles to enable outreach, eg: Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory/Description/WikiProject Medicine/Cardiology task force
- Allow a 'clean up listing' will all the pages tagged with issues (eg: needing a global view, expert input, or proofreading). As seen here.
- Tracking of article quality based on Wikipedia's assessment scale. eg: this is how it appears for the cardiology task force
- Could use Wikidata to see what articles are missing based on other languages?
- Possible missing or uncategorised articles identified through Wikidata
- RN to check with WikiMed to see if there is any previous or on-going work around transfusion medicine and explore the possibility of setting up a WikiProject or taskforce
