Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
• We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
• We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 02:10, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Your edits

Hello, I've just reverted your edits, then I undid my reversions once I realised what you were doing. I now realise that you're a prolific Wikidata user trying to do cross-wiki cleanup. To prevent this sort of misunderstanding happening again, please create a Global user page, perhaps derived from your Wikidata user page, and, when you're doing cross-wiki work, get your edit summaries checked by a native speaker of the language you're editing in. For English, "Remove MeSH parameter; now in Wikidata" would have been a much better edit summary than what you were using.

Here's basically what happened: I noticed your edit on my watchlist to Distraction osteogenesis removing a MeSH number with the edit summary "remove wrong MeSH number". That edit summary implies that you removed the MeSH number because it was incorrect, not because it was misplaced, so I reverted it because the MeSH link in question worked fine. I did notice the welcome on your talk page by Tom (LT), but didn't think much of it, because some Wikipedia users put welcome templates on just about every user talk page they find, even if the user is a vandal.

Because I had only checked your enwiki contributions, As far as I was concerned, from the information available to me, you were a single-purpose account without a user page who was removing valid info with misleading edit summaries. Therefore I began to revert all your edits on the English Wikipedia; I would have messaged you on your talk page first, but I saw you as basically a vandal, so I wasn't sure if that would've produced any results. I previewed the Long bone page after noticing your edit summary there, and finding that it came up with errors relating to {{Infobox anatomy}}. I checked the edit history there and realised that the last few edits were by none other than Tom (LT), and they were removing parameters in preparation for transferring them to Wikidata. I then checked [your Global Contributions], noticed that your home wiki was Wikidata, and realised what was going on.

I apologise for the misunderstanding; however, if you take the actions I've noted in my first paragraph, that will greatly reduce the likelihood of this sort of thing happening again. Graham87 08:08, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

A wikidata editor!! WELCOME, Okkn. Please let me know what I can do to help you out around here. So far with regard to Anatomy data... we are having a discussion at the talk page of WikiProject Anatomy and I have filed a request for a bot to help mop up the old parameters at WP:BOTREQ. Was a bee has been exceedingly helpful. Cheers, --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:19, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@Graham87 and Tom (LT): I'm terribly sorry for making you confused. Yesterday, on Wikidata, d:User:Wasabot (operated by User:Was a bee) created some invalid statements about "MeSH Code" and some of them were somehow valid "MeSH ID". I noticed that d:User:Wasabot were importing data from the "MeSH Number" parameter of {{Infobox anatomy}} on English Wikipedia, and that the value of "MeSH Number" should be what is called "MeSH Code" on Wikidata (like "A07.231.908.949" in the MeSH Number parameter of Venae cavae), not "MeSH ID" (like D019857). So that's why I removed MeSH IDs and other invalid values from the {{Infobox anatomy}} parameter, with the edit summary "remove wrong MeSH number". That aside, thank you for your generous welcome! --Okkn (talk) 11:57, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Oh, sorry Okkn. I should have include explanation or link to explanation in edit summary. Now I summarize situation at WT:ANAT. There were many erroneous usage of "MeSH Code" (P672). Thank you for checking! --Was a bee (talk) 15:48, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@Was a bee: It's all right. Thank you for your great contribution. --Okkn (talk) 16:03, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
