Hey Rytyho, I noticed that the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center article has no picture. Any ideas about how to get a picture of it on to wikipedia? I'm not an expert when it comes to the fair use stuff and I don't have experience uploading pictures to wikipedia. Anyway, just wondering if you had any insight about this. Let me know when you have a chance. TylerDurden8823 ( talk) 04:28, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
I saw your edit on the Lymphoma page which I had partly edited. You have rightly tagged it under Haemato-oncology taskforce. But I would strongly insist that you label all your edits (though you label most of your edits). Diptanshu Talk 10:58, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey Rytyho, I have a question for you about reference formatting. I've been working on the Touro College article a bit and I replaced a primary reference with a more objective reference but I cannot seem to format it properly. It's an https and it won't show the title of the page as a link but keeps the url separate for some reason and I don't know what to do. Can you help? Thanks buddy. Sincerely, TylerDurden8823 ( talk) 06:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey Rytyho, I think you can go ahead and change the title of the article. I haven't seen any objections raised. TylerDurden8823 ( talk) 23:52, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey Rytyho, I wanted to hear your opinion about Alexbrn's recent edit on this page. I've always been a bit wary of using Quackwatch as a source and I've seen that this has been extensively debated on Wikipedia and I don't think I ever saw a clear resolution/decision on the matter one way or the other. I ask because the article that Dr. Barrett wrote seems, IMO, overtly biased in tone, uses outdated terminology (and now outdated data), and paints, what I think, is a misleading picture of the osteopathic medical profession. However, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter. Perhaps there is more recent data showing that the statements Alexbrn put from this older article are no longer true. Anyway, let me know what you think when you have a chance. Thanks. TylerDurden8823 ( talk) 22:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
It's not terribly important but in a recent edit you replaced a university-produced reference with the most recent NACUBO public table with an edit summary asserting that the NACUBO data is independent of the university. The NACUBO datum was obtained from the university so the NACUBO tables aren't completely independent of the university. It's entirely possible that the university-published information is more up-to-date. ElKevbo ( talk) 22:06, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your edits to the Ross University School of Medicine page. Unfortunately, the page is under frequent attack from a disgruntled former student who has actually been issued a cease and desist order for starting a number of malicious websites designed to attack the school.

In 2013 you were one of the top 300 medical editors across any language of Wikipedia. Thank you so much for helping bring free, complete, accurate, up-to-date medical information to the public. We really appreciate you and the vital work you do! |
We are wondering about the educational background of our top medical editors. Would you please complete a quick 5-question survey? (please only fill this out if you received the award)

Hi Rytyho, I looked over this page today, so I'll tell you what I think. My first question is about the sentence in the history section discussing the Master of Science in Health Professions Education. What is this degree and what is its purpose? Regarding the pet hospital, I'm not sure about its notability. Do you believe there are enough news articles/media references to possibly create a Wikipedia page about the Banfield pet hospital? Also, I think the paragraph about Western's accolades (e.g., from the Chronicle on Higher Education) and other rankings could be its own section instead of under history since these are recent awards and rankings. The economic development part/impact on the community should stay in the history section IMO. If you can find more updated sources (I see one from 1995 for example) that also support this, that of course would be a place to improve the article. In the inter professional section, it is unclear whose understanding is supposed to be improved with inter professional education. I take it the intended meaning is that members of the health professions will learn about other health professions. Is that correct? Also, regarding the part saying IPE is being considered for incorporation into clinical grand rounds, is this specific to Western? The reference is a JAOA article, so I'm wondering if there are any news articles specifically discussing Western's take on this. Are there any such articles you can find? References verifying NIH funding, OneSight Foundation, and Potts Foundation funding would be a good addition as well (non-Western sources if possible, these tend to be looked upon more favorably/as more reliable since they're non-primary sources). Under the patient care section, should patient care centers be capitalized as it is in the first sentence here: "Western University of Health Sciences has two Patient Care Centers, one is located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and the other is in Pomona, California on the main university campus." I'm thinking not. Who calls the south building "The Daumier"? Students? Faculty? Someone else? Is this notable enough to mention in the article? Overall, I think the article is a very thorough look at Western and needs tightening in just a few places and perhaps a couple more sources. Otherwise, I think you might be ready to go for GA!

Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce
This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you * sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've ( CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as
Dutch,
Polish, and
Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not
MEDRS (
Polish,
German,
Romanian,
Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

A person using various IP addresses has been rewriting or removing the identical content six times in the past week on several pages and I was only restoring the page to how it appeared before the vandalism. You reverted one of those edits after reverting mine. He edited the page before your edit and again after you reverted my edit at a different IP. A couple other editors and myself have been doing blanket reverts on all these instances of vandalism. I apologize for not verifying that your edit was true and correct first.

Please do not continue to undo the edits which have removed the incorrect data cited by US News on WVSOM's wikipedia page. The correct indebtedness of graduates to date is found in the 2016 AACOMAS CIB, and WVSOM is not even in the top 3 schools with students graduating with the highest debt.
Please double check your references, as well as the sources they cite, before using them. In this case, US News has cited either incorrect or outdated information, and the US News article cited for this claim is both flat out wrong, and incredibly misleading to the general public. US News has been contacted regarding this oversight and has yet to comment.
Thank you for getting back to me. I'll try the things you suggested in order to update the Central Washington University entry. Richmoreno ( talk) 19:10, 31 August 2016 (UTC) Rich

Hi. I noticed that back in 2012 you made several contributions to James Carville article. He is a frequent contributor to The National Memo, so I assume that you know this media (and the liberal press) quite well. The article has been undergoing dramatic edits and I ask for your assistance in editing/improving this article.
I while ago I was asked to make several minor edits to the article as paid editor. At that time the article had minimal content and was no more than a stub. I’ve added some information following the structure of such articles as Salon (website), HuffPost, Politico adding infobox, improving categories and adding some well-referenced info. The article started to look like a normal website/media article. After that it got heavily edited in two waves by editors deleting large chunks of well-written (ok, my personal view :)) and well-referenced information. I believe that some of these edits/deletions are extraneous and actually make the article worse/less useful to Wikipedia users. I also believe that The National Memo article has an undisputable notability. There is an interesting discussion about this at the article’s Talk page.
A lot of what is going all around this article is plain nonsense. So if you are interested in the subject / in improving the article, please take a look at January 10th version or January 29th version. Also if you have any suggestions on improving the article, please share. Thank you in advance. -- Bbarmadillo ( talk) 21:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hey Rytyho, I wanted to hear your opinion about Alexbrn's recent edit on this page. I've always been a bit wary of using Quackwatch as a source and I've seen that this has been extensively debated on Wikipedia and I don't think I ever saw a clear resolution/decision on the matter one way or the other. I ask because the article that Dr. Barrett wrote seems, IMO, overtly biased in tone, uses outdated terminology (and now outdated data), and paints, what I think, is a misleading picture of the osteopathic medical profession. However, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter. Perhaps there is more recent data showing that the statements Alexbrn put from this older article are no longer true. Anyway, let me know what you think when you have a chance. Thanks. TylerDurden8823 ( talk) 22:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
It's not terribly important but in a recent edit you replaced a university-produced reference with the most recent NACUBO public table with an edit summary asserting that the NACUBO data is independent of the university. The NACUBO datum was obtained from the university so the NACUBO tables aren't completely independent of the university. It's entirely possible that the university-published information is more up-to-date. ElKevbo ( talk) 22:06, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your edits to the Ross University School of Medicine page. Unfortunately, the page is under frequent attack from a disgruntled former student who has actually been issued a cease and desist order for starting a number of malicious websites designed to attack the school.

In 2013 you were one of the top 300 medical editors across any language of Wikipedia. Thank you so much for helping bring free, complete, accurate, up-to-date medical information to the public. We really appreciate you and the vital work you do! |
We are wondering about the educational background of our top medical editors. Would you please complete a quick 5-question survey? (please only fill this out if you received the award)
Thanks again :) -- Ocaasi, Doc James and the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation
Hi Rytyho, I looked over this page today, so I'll tell you what I think. My first question is about the sentence in the history section discussing the Master of Science in Health Professions Education. What is this degree and what is its purpose? Regarding the pet hospital, I'm not sure about its notability. Do you believe there are enough news articles/media references to possibly create a Wikipedia page about the Banfield pet hospital? Also, I think the paragraph about Western's accolades (e.g., from the Chronicle on Higher Education) and other rankings could be its own section instead of under history since these are recent awards and rankings. The economic development part/impact on the community should stay in the history section IMO. If you can find more updated sources (I see one from 1995 for example) that also support this, that of course would be a place to improve the article. In the inter professional section, it is unclear whose understanding is supposed to be improved with inter professional education. I take it the intended meaning is that members of the health professions will learn about other health professions. Is that correct? Also, regarding the part saying IPE is being considered for incorporation into clinical grand rounds, is this specific to Western? The reference is a JAOA article, so I'm wondering if there are any news articles specifically discussing Western's take on this. Are there any such articles you can find? References verifying NIH funding, OneSight Foundation, and Potts Foundation funding would be a good addition as well (non-Western sources if possible, these tend to be looked upon more favorably/as more reliable since they're non-primary sources). Under the patient care section, should patient care centers be capitalized as it is in the first sentence here: "Western University of Health Sciences has two Patient Care Centers, one is located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and the other is in Pomona, California on the main university campus." I'm thinking not. Who calls the south building "The Daumier"? Students? Faculty? Someone else? Is this notable enough to mention in the article? Overall, I think the article is a very thorough look at Western and needs tightening in just a few places and perhaps a couple more sources. Otherwise, I think you might be ready to go for GA!

Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce
This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you * sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've ( CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as
Dutch,
Polish, and
Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not
MEDRS (
Polish,
German,
Romanian,
Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

A person using various IP addresses has been rewriting or removing the identical content six times in the past week on several pages and I was only restoring the page to how it appeared before the vandalism. You reverted one of those edits after reverting mine. He edited the page before your edit and again after you reverted my edit at a different IP. A couple other editors and myself have been doing blanket reverts on all these instances of vandalism. I apologize for not verifying that your edit was true and correct first.

Please do not continue to undo the edits which have removed the incorrect data cited by US News on WVSOM's wikipedia page. The correct indebtedness of graduates to date is found in the 2016 AACOMAS CIB, and WVSOM is not even in the top 3 schools with students graduating with the highest debt.
Please double check your references, as well as the sources they cite, before using them. In this case, US News has cited either incorrect or outdated information, and the US News article cited for this claim is both flat out wrong, and incredibly misleading to the general public. US News has been contacted regarding this oversight and has yet to comment.

Hi. I noticed that back in 2012 you made several contributions to James Carville article. He is a frequent contributor to The National Memo, so I assume that you know this media (and the liberal press) quite well. The article has been undergoing dramatic edits and I ask for your assistance in editing/improving this article.
I while ago I was asked to make several minor edits to the article as paid editor. At that time the article had minimal content and was no more than a stub. I’ve added some information following the structure of such articles as Salon (website), HuffPost, Politico adding infobox, improving categories and adding some well-referenced info. The article started to look like a normal website/media article. After that it got heavily edited in two waves by editors deleting large chunks of well-written (ok, my personal view :)) and well-referenced information. I believe that some of these edits/deletions are extraneous and actually make the article worse/less useful to Wikipedia users. I also believe that The National Memo article has an undisputable notability. There is an interesting discussion about this at the article’s Talk page.
A lot of what is going all around this article is plain nonsense. So if you are interested in the subject / in improving the article, please take a look at January 10th version or January 29th version. Also if you have any suggestions on improving the article, please share. Thank you in advance. -- Bbarmadillo ( talk) 21:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
