Account creator
[edit]Hi, I'm just letting you know that I have removed the account creator permission from your account as the recent creation of the event coordinator user group makes that permission preferred. If you need the permission to create accounts in the future for an event, you can request it at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Event coordinator a few days before the event is slated to begin.

developing training programs for new editors
[edit]I read over the training program you are developing at User:JenOttawa/Introduction to Medical Editing: Cheat Sheet. This looks great!
The major challenge here is that since 2001 Wikipedia has established no popular or broadly praised online training system. At various times various groups have invested hundreds of thousands of US$ in trying to design a process. Countless volunteer hours have gone into this. Some processes are more popular but nothing is an obvious recommendation.
Your guide is the most practical and direct explanation that I have seen to target academic writers with an invitation and instructions to edit Wikipedia. It seems good and it seems fine to share.
I see that this guide includes a link to the dashboard training. I am also here sharing a video and a document. What these three other training materials have in common is that they offer little practical advice and instead express abstract concepts and do some socializing. Personally, when I do Wikipedia outreach, I emphasize how new Wikipedia editors should learn to talk about Wikipedia with other people on and off-wiki, and de-emphasize understanding technical aspects of Wikipedia. My system has a lot of faults, and although I have presented it to hundreds of people, I cannot say that it has any better outcome than other ideas in circulation. My theory is that if people feel good about editing Wikipedia then they will overcome technical barriers. Alternatively, if they only learn the technical process, then they may not come to feel good about editing until and unless they later have some social experiences. If a person's time is scarce then at least sometimes guiding them to a positive perspective quickly can be a more effective start than giving them a skill set without social context.
I am not sure which way is the right way! Almost all training programs attempt their own system. Yours is off to a more developed start than many other programs reach in their finished state. If I were to suggest any changes it would be what I recommend for almost any writing - make it shorter and make it even easier to understand. It is already very good.

Event coordinator granted
[edit]After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
- The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
- The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
- Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux Talk 18:13, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

User:Paolocmartin
[edit]Hi Jen - ProcrasinatingReader bought Paolocmartin (talk · contribs)'s contributions to my attention - It seems they're associated with your project.
I'm a bit concerned about contributions like this, this, and this which whist relevant to your project have been created in inappropriate locations.
It seems the contributor is simply inexperienced with Wikipedia, and is "leaping without looking", so to speak. Is this something that could be handled internally within your project? I'm concerned the editor may end up blocked if they keep creating articles / pages in inappropriate locations, since it's quite a lot of work for other editors to go through and tidy things up.
Please get in touch here, through my talk page, or through Special:EmailUser if there's anything I can do to help.
Thanks in advance,

Leprosy pre-print in WikiJMed
[edit]Hi Jen - can you take a look at the pre-print? There is one review in which you may want to start addressing and we continue to see more. Also, can you check your ORICID? It takes me to a person of the same name who is a nurse in Australia! Rwatson1955 (talk) 15:24, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Dear @Rwatson1955: thank you for noticing my ORCID error! That nurse with the same name looks very talented, but I am not her ;) We feel honoured to have the Leprosy article reviewed by such an expert and we look forward to improving our submission and the current Wikipedia article. We are addressing these improvement suggestions and I will post on the talk page as soon as we are ready to improve the article. Thank you for your help here!

WP:MED Newsletter - August 2020
[edit]- Issue 3—August 2020
- WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
Despite continued tumult in the real world, the show–and the newsletter–must go on at WP:MED. As always your comments, concerns, and ideas are welcome at the newsletter talk page (and at WT:MED). Here is what's happening this month:
|
|
News from around the site
- If you've got the time, please review a GA nomination (criteria/instructions). Nominations currently sit two months before review. Let's aim for a month or less.
- Starting July 3rd, the WMF's "Wikipedia" social media accounts will highlight an "article of the week". If you've got the bandwidth, you can watchlist Social media/Article of the week (on meta) where they'll post the article around a day ahead of time for us to clean up. You can also suggest articles to highlight.
- A new sister project has been approved by the WMF Board: Abstract Wikipedia.
Discussions of interest
- Several medicine-related FAs promoted 5+ years ago could use a review and update. An effort to organize our efforts is at WT:MED.
- A large university class is working on medicine-related articles this month. They're largely focused on articles with maintenance tags. The students are working in small groups and posting their goals at each talk page. Consider watchlisting some of the assigned articles and helping the students (and us regulars) have a positive experience.
- Tom (LT) is spearheading an effort to clean up and organize medicine-related templates, resulting in many active TfD discussions. See a list of active TfDs at WP:MED/Article alerts.

Under the Wikimedia Research Spotlight
This month's Wikimedia Research Showcase was on the topic "Medical knowledge on Wikipedia". It featured two presentations from invited academics (link).
First, Denise Smith (Mcbrarian) at McMaster and Western Universities received a WMF grant to review the academic literature on "Wikipedia as a health resource". She found 89 papers on the topic, most of which aim to assess our health content's accuracy, comprehensiveness, or readability. Findings vary, but are complicated by poor comparators (e.g. Wikipedia vs. a surgery textbook), the fluidity of content (research becomes dated quickly), and attempts to generalize to "health content" with no discussion of how our content is a patchwork of articles in vastly different states. The remaining papers fall into one of three categories: the use of Wikipedia as (1) a general medical resource, (2) a tool for health education, or (3) a tool for research. Interesting papers in each group, but I'll leave further exploration to the reader. There's a general trend of more papers on this topic over time; Smith is hopeful the stigma towards Wikipedia in academia and healthcare could be eroding. With any luck, her review will help orient academics as they consider studying our content. For more, see her paper in PLoS ONE.
Second, Giovanni Colavizza at the University of Amsterdam sought to assess the reliability and comprehensiveness of our covid-19 coverage by studying our citations. He collected the ~3k citations in our covid articles and compared them to the ~160k total papers on covid/coronaviruses. He found we disproportionately cite articles in more reputable journals, as well as articles that are highly cited, mentioned on Twitter, downloaded on Mendeley, etc. We disfavor citing preprints. To investigate the comprehensiveness of our citations across topics, he used the titles and abstracts of all covid papers to cluster them into five broad topical groups. He finds our citations to each group largely match its proportion in the total literature, with some exceptions (we overcite molecular biology and epidemics papers relative to their proportion in the literature, and undercite clinical medicine and public health papers). One might assume this means our coverage of covid-19 is fairly balanced to the broad topics of the literature. For more, see Colavizza's slide deck and biorxiv preprint.
For the time/interest constrained, see summaries from the authors and from WhatamIdoing.

Drugs in Preganancy
[edit]Thank you for your edits on the drugs in pregnancy article. I think that the section for medications containing opioids should be integrated in the opioids section under recreational drugs instead. 8.3.20 Jx130 (talk) 16:33, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Good point @Jx130: I agree and noticed that there was some repeat. I left it for now so that both uses of opioids (illicit and prescription) were accounted for in the article. Any additional improvements that you make would be great! Could we mention opioids in pain control section and then link to the recreational drugs section, for example? Thank you for touching base JenOttawa (talk) 16:49, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Sounds good! I mentioned opioids in the pain control section and linked opioids back to the recreational drugs section. 8.3.20 Jx130 (talk) 17:25, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Jx130:Looks terrific so far! Thanks! If anyone in your class wants to take a go at writing a Lead for this article, info on what should go in the lead is shared in WP:MEDMOS (med manual of style). Thanks again.JenOttawa (talk) 17:27, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter – September 2020
[edit]- Issue 4—September 2020
- WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
Greetings! A relatively quiet month yields a shorter newsletter. The featured section is taking the month off, but please continue to drop comments and ideas at the newsletter talk page. Here is what's happening this month:
|
|
News from around the site
- A few restrictions on signatures are being gently phased in to make signatures consistently machine-identifiable. This will enable the development of new talk page tools (and fix some holes in our current tools). Affected editors (~ 900 at English Wikipedia) will be contacted. You can see if you're on the naughty list here.
Discussions of interest
- There are numerous ongoing discussions regarding notability/deletion. Open disucssions focus on draftification, restricting comments on AfDs, and the occasional conflict between SNGs and the GNG.
- An ongoing enormous discussion considers deprecating in-line parenthetical citations.
- At WikiProject COVID-19 editors are catching their breath and taking stock of our Covid-19 coverage thus far.

common cold
[edit]Hi Jen, I’m a neutral party when it comes to COVID so I tend to convey information from both sides to educate each party using as much humility and understanding as possible.
In the common cold page, it references face masks as showing some effectiveness at preventing transmission referencing “Eccles p. 209“ but I have been unable to locate this source. So you know how the original research can be examined?
Thank you for your time. And if you aren’t able to reach back, I understand you have much bigger fish to fry!
- Thanks for reaching out. I replied on your talk page. JenOttawa (talk) 14:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Old Project Page Clean up
[edit]Hi Jen! There is an old project page from way back when we started this engagement, Evidence_based_content_for_medical_articles_on_Wikipedia. Should we merge any relevant content and remove the duplicate page? Manum56 (talk) 15:57, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - October 2020
[edit]- Issue 5—October 2020
- WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
Greetings! This month celebrates our second (I think) new medicine FA in 2020, a handful of newly reviewed GAs, and of course another month without major on-wiki disaster. The newsletter's featured section is off again, but please continue to drop comments and ideas at the newsletter talk page. Here is what's new this month:
|
|
News from around the site
- An ongoing drive at WP:Good article nominations seeks interested editors to help review the ~600 current GA nominations. The oldest unreviewed medicine-related GAN was nominated 1.5 months ago.
- An open contributor copyright investigation involves edits to many medicine pages that need to be checked for copyright infringement. Interested editors might skim User:Moneytrees/Money's guide to CCI, and jump right in.
- An update to the appearance of various WMF sites (including this one) will be developed and rolled out slowly over the next year. For details see the WMF blog post and the page on MediaWiki where individual features are being mocked up and discussed.
Discussions of interest
- A discussion over wording at WP:PAID that centers on the extent to which folks that volunteer for an organization have an editing conflict of interest.
- Editors could use more eyes to help sort through a number of data-rich templates at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#DONTHIDE_-_estrogen_template_problems.

Pi bot
[edit]Hi Jen. Just to let you know that the cochrane bot didn't run as scheduled yesterday because I moved the code over to a new Raspberry Pi (provided by Wikimedia UK), but forgot to check that script. I fixed a few issues today (updating file directories, and code to python3), and it's running today, hopefully next month it will run as usual. I also fixed the code for the French Wikipedia version, so fr:Projet:Médecine/Cochrane/Bot is being updated again, but I don't know if anyone's looking at that? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:20, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Dear @Mike Peel: thank you for the update. I appreciate you helping and noticing that there was a problem with the bot. I see some updates came in, which is great for us to keep up the momentum. If there is anything that I can do to help please let me know. JenOttawa (talk) 00:04, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

- The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
- The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
- Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! stwalkerster (talk) 23:33, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Recent improvements
[edit]Hi @Ozzie10aaaa: I just did a little work on this article using paraphrased evidence from the background section and (weak) conclusions from a 2019 Cochrane Review on surgery versus conservative approach. I just looked at the history and noticed all the work that you did in October! It is great. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes or if you have additional suggestions. JenOttawa (talk) 20:44, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Student editor at mumps
[edit]A student editor recently added a few paragraphs to the article for mumps. The issue is that all of the information was either already included in the article or is US-centered. There are smaller issues as well such as reference formatting and reference duplication. Overall, the contributions lower the quality of the article in my opinion. The student is in this course, and the assignment ends on 11 December so is it okay to revert the article to its prior state after then? Velayinosu (talk) 03:15, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @Velayinosu: thank you for the message. I agree that it is a fine balance- being hesitant to jump in and revert student work (unless the evidence added is incorrect, not appropriate for Wikipedia, etc). Can the contribution be tweaked for the time being? Mumps is a pretty high-impact article. I feel that all courses should have their instuctors do a final "quality control" check. I see that this is a WikiEdu supported course. I find that WikiEdu does not usually review the final edits, however, prehaps the course instructor can if we reach out? I cannot look at it this morning, but will keep it on my radar as well. Thanks for reaching out! JenOttawa (talk) 12:15, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

- As you can see, the medicine GA queue is full-to-bursting, with the oldest medicine nomination waiting over three months for review. Please help review when you have time, so your colleagues can move on to their next projects.
- The WP:MED Collaboration of the Month was Tonsillitis, attracting edits from 11 medicine editors! December's collaboration will be Dexamethasone. Head to Talk:Dexamethasone to coordinate our efforts.
- Thanks to the medicine editors who helped out, Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Walidou47 is now closed. If you see other medicine-related backlogs that you'd like announced in the newsletter, please post them here.
Discussions of interest
- There is a large, ongoing discussion regarding the status of subject-specific notability criteria.

Backlog of the month
This month I'm trying out a new element of the newsletter – a backlog of the month. The WikiProject Medicine template is on the talk page of 44,944 articles, of which 18,111 have some kind of maintenance tag on them, indicating problems large or small. Each month, I'll highlight some small task to get you out of your normal editing focus and chip away at the project's massive maintenance backlogs. I'll aim for tasks that can be worked on in small chunks, perhaps on days when you can't focus on big problems, or have 15 minutes to burn at your computer.
The first backlog of the month will be the 410 medicine articles that cite no sources. These tend to be lower-traffic topics. Some just need verification that the topic actually exists, along with a quick reference. Others are best redirected to more substantial pages, or even brought to AfD. Feel free to scroll through the list for topics that interest you, or just start at the top. This feature will last as long as folks are interested enough to engage with it. If you see backlogs that would be a good fit, post them here. Thanks all, and happy referencing!

WikiProject Medicine
[edit]Hi JenOttawa. I'm so sorry for the late reply on your message. Yes, I am focussing on Medicine-related articles in Malay Wikipedia and started WikiProject Medicine this year. I'm working on it with another user but we don't really have enough member in the team, so I'm working on them bit by bit with him. May I help you? CyberTroopers (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- As for collaboration, I'm (also as User:WAqil) also one of Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia member. Maybe we can start through our Wikimedia organization. Kindly email me at wafiq.wikimedia@gmail.com just in case if I mislook the notification here. Thank you for notifying me! I'm looking forward to have a collaboration with Cochrane Malaysia! CyberTroopers (talk) 18:08, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- @CyberTroopers:Thank you for sharing your email address. Do you mind if I share it directly with my Malaysian collaborators? We look forward to speaking with you!JenOttawa (talk) 01:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
Osteoporosis
[edit]I made a lot of recommendations on the Talk page of the article. Please consider reviewing/implementing, as I am not sure if the other editors who have been participating in the Talk discussions will be comfortable making large changes to the article.

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - January 2021
[edit]- Issue 8—January 2021
- WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
2020 is behind us at last. Off Wikipedia, the year has been trying. On Wikipedia, I hope you've found the time you spent here fulfilling and diverting. I've taken the opportunity to place a few end-of-year statistics for reflection below. If you think of any data that would be useful to find (or begin gathering) to gauge the project's success, please let me know. With that, here is what's happening around the project:
|
|
Year in Review
With 2020 now in the rear view mirror, a few numbers to give a sense of where our project is at: In 2020 we added a record number of medicine articles (i.e. articles with the WP:MED tag on their talk pages), starting the year with 41,243 and ending with 45,247. The ~4,000 new articles is well above the norm, presumably due to new covid-related articles. In terms of reviewed content, we added three featured articles (Dementia with Lewy bodies, Complete blood count, and Buruli ulcer), and lost three to the ravages of time, leaving our total at 66. We also added 42 newly reviewed good articles from 23 different nominators, bringing our total to 296. See a full list of reviewed content from 2020 here. Outside of reviewed content our contributions are more challenging to measure. I'm sure much our time was spent making small improvements, guiding new editors, removing junk from articles, and dealing with the raging global pandemic (on and off the site). I am interested in ways we can quantify and assess our project's progress going forward, so if anyone has ideas for other data we could find or collect, do let me know.
Other notes
- The WMF's Community Wishlist Survey has ended. Results are posted here.
- If you missed it, consider reading folks' thoughts on helping new editors at this recent WT:MED discussion.
- After a quieter month at the Collaboration of the Month (Dexamethasone), we'll be taking this month off. The COTM will return in February. Propose and vote on nominations here.
- Thanks to all who helped deal with last month's backlog, medicine articles that cite no sources. 28 down, 382 to go. We'll pick a new backlog next month. In the meantime, for any interested, I've posted an updated list of articles that lack sources here.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Cochrane/Cochrane Review List
[edit]ow Hi JenOttawa. I was wondering on the updates and percentages in table. Is that manually done by you? The calculations and etc in the table. Looking forward for your reply. Thanks. WAqil (talk) 07:49, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Dear @WAqil: thank you for reaching out. The percentages in the table and 52 lists of reviews to consider are updated by me, yes. We run a code that compares Cochrane Reviews published in the past 10 years with what is on different languages of Wikipedia and generates a csv table and a set of .txt files with the updated review lists. This is run quarterly. For the update list, we have an amazing volunteer who runs the Cochrane Bot for us that generates this list (and archives the "done" list). If you have any specific questions or need more information please let me know. Suggestions are always welcome too! Thanks again, JenOttawa (talk) 11:48, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- I ran this data on Malay Wikipedia earlier this week as well to share! I there were about 90 Cochrane Reviews published in the past 10 years that are presently shared on Malay Wikipedia. JenOttawa (talk) 11:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- JenOttawa
May I know how you fetch the data of Cochrane reviews that's in Malay Wikipedia articles? I'm working on the table in Malay version. Is it pucblicly accessible? Would be glad if it did because I have no idea on how to calculate reviews the already have in articles. WAqil (talk) 13:08, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @WAqil: I did not set up the coding myself so I would have to ask the individual who set it up. I am generating a Malay-Cochrane-Wikipedia summary table in excel and had planned to email it to the group from Cochrane Malaysia this week with an offer to provide the raw files on a quarterly basis. Do you want to touch base for a quick call to coordinate our efforts? I can send you an email!JenOttawa (talk) 13:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

- Lung cancer will feature on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on August 4th. Anything you can do to improve/update the article before then would be a big help to the many readers likely to see the page on that date.
- The Books namespace will be deprecated and its contents deleted. All books have been moved to subpages of Wikipedia:Books/archive so that they can be undeleted upon request after the namespace is gone. There are around two dozen medicine-related books (14 tagged with WP:MED). If you wish to keep any, you are welcome to move it to your userspace.

- WP:URFA/2020 is reviewing and updating FAs that were promoted long ago. Several medicine-related FAs are on the list. Noting current work below. Feel free to jump in and help wherever you're interested:
- Acute myeloid leukemia (promoted in 2006) is getting a thorough update led by Tom (LT) and Spicy. Help is welcome.
- Influenza (promoted in 2006) was updated by Velayinosu and is awaiting review.
- Lung cancer (promoted in 2007) was updated by Axl, Graham Beards, and JenOttawa in preparation for a now-aborted run as WP:TFA.
- Autism (2007 promotion) and Major depressive disorder (2008 promotion) have requests for featured article reviews on their talk pages.
- I believe the oldest unreviewed medicine-related FAs are Michael Woodruff (2006 promotion), Bacteria (2006 promotion), and Coeliac disease (2008 promotion). These are likely to receive some attention soon.

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia
[edit]Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.
