==Speedy deletion of Aviasca destinations==

A tag has been placed on Aviasca destinations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Prashanthns ( talk) 23:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Request to move article Lyon - Saint-Exupéry Airport, etc. incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Lyon - Saint-Exupéry Airport to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

  1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
  2. Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
  3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR ( talk) 16:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Berlin Airports

Hello, at the moment the naming of the three Berlin airports is inconsequent: There is Berlin-Tegel Airport ( de), Tempelhof International Airport ( de), and Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport ( de). Acutally, none of them bears the word "International" in its official name, but all of them contain the word "Berlin" (see links to their Wikipedia articles in German). Therefore Tempelhof and Schönefeld should be renamed and moved consistently to Berlin-Tempelhof Airport and Berlin-Schönefeld Airport. Best regards, -- Komischn ( talk) 09:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't have a problem with the airports being renamed, all you have to do is:
Put {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of that airport with the suggested name where it says NewName,
Put {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of that same page, with 'reason for move' replaced with your reasoning
Put {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} on the Wikipedia:Requested moves page under the current date
This way, the other editors who contribute to the article have an opportunity for their input. After a few days have gone by, if it seems like there is a consensus to move it, then it will be moved. Thanks, ( D.c.camero ( talk) 21:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)) reply

Not yet, I will be taking it this summer, though I don't know the exact date yet. Do you know of any good review books or study tactics?( D.c.camero ( talk) 21:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)) reply
For step one, I only used First Aid for USMLE Step I, and supplemented it with strictly two things (1) better equations for calculating acid/base compensation, and (2) better notes regarding the brain stem nuclei. I figured there was no way I could memorize all of first aid, so why add more books to my review? And that strategy worked for me. Regardless of what you do, this is my biggest piece of advice, study really hard for step one and do well. Out of any of your medical school achievements (grades, research, AOA, etc) NOTHING matters more for getting into the residency you want than your step one score. You can simply pass all your classes, not be AOA, do no research, and if you have a high score on your step one, you can get interviews anywhere, and get into any residency. Again, it is ALL about your step one score! Kilbad ( talk) 21:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Yeah, it has been a long time. Things are going well here. I finished step 1 and am in the hospital finishing up my third year clinical clerkships.

So far I have done all of my rotations in New York City, and I am thinking that I would like to do some rotations in other parts of the country. I am really loving my rotations since I really prefer learning medicine in the clinical setting of a hospital as opposed to the classroom. How are things going with you?

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Medical Translation Newsletter


Wikiproject Medicine; Translation Taskforce

Medical Translation Newsletter
Issue 1, June/July 2014
by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery


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 Medicine

Spotlight - 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?


IEG grant
CFCF - "IEG beneficiary" and editor of this newsletter.

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.

Wikimania 2014

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.

Integration progress

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.

  • Swedish
    Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
    Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
  • Dutch
    Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
  • Polish
    Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
    (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
  • Arabic
    The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
Integration guides

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]

Help with article review?

Hi,

I noticed you were a member of the Cardiology task force. I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and have written a new article about a biomedical engineering firm called Alivecor. Draft:BC1278/sandbox/Alivecor They make the first FDA and EU approved medical device for the Apple watch, combining an ECG and artificial intelligence to spot early signs of atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm abnormalities. The Mayo Clinic is a major investor in the company.

Even though I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor, as a paid consultant to Alivecor, under Wikipedia Conflict of Interest policies WP: COI, I must have an independent editor review all my work and then decide whether to bring it live. I follow not only this policy but all Wikipedia policies as strictly as I can manage.

I wonder if you might have time to review the article? I'm available to make revisions, as requested. Then when it's ready to publish, you'd move it from Draft:BC1278/sandbox/Alivecor to Article: Alivecor

Thanks,

==Speedy deletion of Aviasca destinations==

A tag has been placed on Aviasca destinations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Prashanthns ( talk) 23:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Request to move article Lyon - Saint-Exupéry Airport, etc. incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Lyon - Saint-Exupéry Airport to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

  1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
  2. Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
  3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR ( talk) 16:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Berlin Airports

Hello, at the moment the naming of the three Berlin airports is inconsequent: There is Berlin-Tegel Airport ( de), Tempelhof International Airport ( de), and Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport ( de). Acutally, none of them bears the word "International" in its official name, but all of them contain the word "Berlin" (see links to their Wikipedia articles in German). Therefore Tempelhof and Schönefeld should be renamed and moved consistently to Berlin-Tempelhof Airport and Berlin-Schönefeld Airport. Best regards, -- Komischn ( talk) 09:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't have a problem with the airports being renamed, all you have to do is:
Put {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of that airport with the suggested name where it says NewName,
Put {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of that same page, with 'reason for move' replaced with your reasoning
Put {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} on the Wikipedia:Requested moves page under the current date
This way, the other editors who contribute to the article have an opportunity for their input. After a few days have gone by, if it seems like there is a consensus to move it, then it will be moved. Thanks, ( D.c.camero ( talk) 21:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)) reply

Not yet, I will be taking it this summer, though I don't know the exact date yet. Do you know of any good review books or study tactics?( D.c.camero ( talk) 21:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)) reply
For step one, I only used First Aid for USMLE Step I, and supplemented it with strictly two things (1) better equations for calculating acid/base compensation, and (2) better notes regarding the brain stem nuclei. I figured there was no way I could memorize all of first aid, so why add more books to my review? And that strategy worked for me. Regardless of what you do, this is my biggest piece of advice, study really hard for step one and do well. Out of any of your medical school achievements (grades, research, AOA, etc) NOTHING matters more for getting into the residency you want than your step one score. You can simply pass all your classes, not be AOA, do no research, and if you have a high score on your step one, you can get interviews anywhere, and get into any residency. Again, it is ALL about your step one score! Kilbad ( talk) 21:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Spotlight - 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?

CFCF - "IEG beneficiary" and editor of this newsletter.

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.

Wikimania 2014

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.

Integration progress

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.

  • Swedish
    Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
    Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
  • Dutch
    Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
  • Polish
    Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
    (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
  • Arabic
    The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
Integration guides

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]

Help with article review?

Hi,

I noticed you were a member of the Cardiology task force. I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and have written a new article about a biomedical engineering firm called Alivecor. Draft:BC1278/sandbox/Alivecor They make the first FDA and EU approved medical device for the Apple watch, combining an ECG and artificial intelligence to spot early signs of atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm abnormalities. The Mayo Clinic is a major investor in the company.

Even though I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor, as a paid consultant to Alivecor, under Wikipedia Conflict of Interest policies WP: COI, I must have an independent editor review all my work and then decide whether to bring it live. I follow not only this policy but all Wikipedia policies as strictly as I can manage.

I wonder if you might have time to review the article? I'm available to make revisions, as requested. Then when it's ready to publish, you'd move it from Draft:BC1278/sandbox/Alivecor to Article: Alivecor

Thanks,
