Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical 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 our 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 WPMED 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!
  • Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
  • The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Carl Fredrik talk 14:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Managing a conflict of interest

Information icon Hello, TransfusionDoctor. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Blood management, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{ request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 13:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Further information on conflict of interest and copyright

Hello TransfustionDoctor. Thank you for your interest in working on wikipedia. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. There are a couple of problems with your submission. You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials which explains how it works.

The second problem is conflict of interest. According to our terms of use, paid editors and people editing on behalf of their employer are required to disclose their conflict of interest by posting a notice on their user page or talk page. I have placed some information about conflict of interest in the section above. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 13:11, 16 January 2018 (UTC) reply

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pre operative optimization haemoglobin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.isbtweb.org/working-parties/clinical-transfusion/3-pre-operative-optimisation-of-haemoglobin/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright violations and close paraphrasing

I am replying to the message you left on my talk page which said: "I have permission to use the public access ISBT resources to assist in populating the wikipedia. I had done quite a lot of paraphrasing of this work but want to know how I can pass the copyright issue when these are freely accessible sources that I have been given permission to write and in some cases written myself".

You need to have a look at WP:COPYPASTE and also the advice that Diannaa has pointed you in the direction of. Drchriswilliams ( talk) 14:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Transfusion practitioner

Hello TransfusionDoctor,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Transfusion practitioner for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Spamming choosingwisely.org and its national extension sites

Information icon Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jytdog ( talk) 15:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Edit war warning

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Choosing Wisely shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Jytdog ( talk) 15:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Primary sources

You're citing things of the form "X exists, source, website of X". Instead please use reliable independent secondary sources that establish the importance of the fact you wish to add. Guy ( Help!) 15:52, 22 August 2018 (UTC) reply

I realised I had copied a list of facts from a table, turned it into a bullet point list and added additional facts. I did not reference each fact individually within the list and although the order and number of facts in the list had changed it might have been seen as copyright infringement because of my initial cutting and pasting of the list of facts and formulae.

I realise now that I cannot copy a list of facts from elsewhere on the internet and have to rewrite the list again and add additional references to show the list has come from multiple sources of information. I will not do this again. TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 04:24, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap. This gores beyond copying a list. You also copied copyright prose to the same article from at least two other sources, here and here. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 07:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Re potential copyright infringement

Thank you for highlighting the overlaps. I can see how this appears as though I copied from these other papers but I did not copy the text. One of the papers, the Elsevier text, I have never even read but because of the large number of technical terms used and the way scientists write text there is overlap. The two other texts I know very well and so despite not wanting to copy the text I have accidentally done this. How can I avoid this in the future. If there is a piece of text that cannot be phrased any other way does putting it in quotation marks avoid the problem. I tried very hard on this entry to avoid copyright issues and spent over a day writing the text so want to avoid putting in a huge amount of effort and ending up with the same result of being accused of copyright infringement.

Is there a way of checking that I have not infringed copyright by accident? For example the paper I have never even read but apparently copied. Thank you for letting me know TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 10:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

I am confused. You told me by email that you had permission from the copyright holder to copy their material. Now you are saying you copied by accident? They can't both be correct. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 17:51, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Copyright

Sorry for confusing you. The thing I would like clarification on is how am I supposed to know that I have written something in the same way as someone else without ever seeing their work (Elsevier publication you highlighted).

Also, in the future if I want to use part of a sentence that is the same I assume I can avoid copyright issues by putting the section in quotation marks with associated reference?

The Stanworth et al publication I had permission from the original authors to re-use their work. However, looking through the copyright rules in more detail I have also asked the publishers Wiley for authorisation to reuse on Wikipedia. This would be permission to use up to a page of text from the published review and maximum of 400 continuous words from the original review.

For the NHSBT publication I have authorisation from the original author to re-use their work.

I do not want to infringe copyright and with very technical medical language it is often difficult or impossible to rephrase parts of sentences without changing the meaning which is why I am asking the advice about putting sections in quotations marks if I know they have been used previously and how I manage something if I never knew someone else had written it in exactly the same way. TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 13:20, 23 December 2018 (UTC) reply

The way I write is by reading the source, understanding what the source means, and than writing down that understanding in my own words in easy to understand language.
By writing in easy to understand language, that will make sure you will not be to close to the original. I write generally one or two sentences from a source. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 02:15, 25 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Thank you Doc James

Thank you for your advice.

I realise now that some material that was too similar to the original sources and I will fully paraphrase going forwards.

I will use plain and easy to understand language whenever I can and keep technical terms to the minimum necessary.

TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 09:45, 25 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks. User:Diannaa have chatted with User:TransfusionDoctor and they agree to be much more careful going forwards. Transfusion one should never use the copy and paste function when working from a source as that can easily get one in trouble. Diannaa I think it is reasonable to give them another chance.

A tag has been placed on Pre operative optimization haemoglobin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.isbtweb.org/working-parties/clinical-transfusion/3-pre-operative-optimisation-of-haemoglobin/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright violations and close paraphrasing

I am replying to the message you left on my talk page which said: "I have permission to use the public access ISBT resources to assist in populating the wikipedia. I had done quite a lot of paraphrasing of this work but want to know how I can pass the copyright issue when these are freely accessible sources that I have been given permission to write and in some cases written myself".

You need to have a look at WP:COPYPASTE and also the advice that Diannaa has pointed you in the direction of. Drchriswilliams ( talk) 14:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Responding to your email

As soon as the permission email is received and processed the content can be restored. There's a large backlog at present, so please be patient. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 21:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Transfusion practitioner

Hello TransfusionDoctor,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Transfusion practitioner for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Spamming choosingwisely.org and its national extension sites

Information icon Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jytdog ( talk) 15:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Edit war warning

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Choosing Wisely shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Jytdog ( talk) 15:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Primary sources

You're citing things of the form "X exists, source, website of X". Instead please use reliable independent secondary sources that establish the importance of the fact you wish to add. Guy ( Help!) 15:52, 22 August 2018 (UTC) reply

I realised I had copied a list of facts from a table, turned it into a bullet point list and added additional facts. I did not reference each fact individually within the list and although the order and number of facts in the list had changed it might have been seen as copyright infringement because of my initial cutting and pasting of the list of facts and formulae.

I realise now that I cannot copy a list of facts from elsewhere on the internet and have to rewrite the list again and add additional references to show the list has come from multiple sources of information. I will not do this again. TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 04:24, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap. This gores beyond copying a list. You also copied copyright prose to the same article from at least two other sources, here and here. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 07:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Re potential copyright infringement

Thank you for highlighting the overlaps. I can see how this appears as though I copied from these other papers but I did not copy the text. One of the papers, the Elsevier text, I have never even read but because of the large number of technical terms used and the way scientists write text there is overlap. The two other texts I know very well and so despite not wanting to copy the text I have accidentally done this. How can I avoid this in the future. If there is a piece of text that cannot be phrased any other way does putting it in quotation marks avoid the problem. I tried very hard on this entry to avoid copyright issues and spent over a day writing the text so want to avoid putting in a huge amount of effort and ending up with the same result of being accused of copyright infringement.

Is there a way of checking that I have not infringed copyright by accident? For example the paper I have never even read but apparently copied. Thank you for letting me know TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 10:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

I am confused. You told me by email that you had permission from the copyright holder to copy their material. Now you are saying you copied by accident? They can't both be correct. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 17:51, 22 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Copyright

Sorry for confusing you. The thing I would like clarification on is how am I supposed to know that I have written something in the same way as someone else without ever seeing their work (Elsevier publication you highlighted).

Also, in the future if I want to use part of a sentence that is the same I assume I can avoid copyright issues by putting the section in quotation marks with associated reference?

The Stanworth et al publication I had permission from the original authors to re-use their work. However, looking through the copyright rules in more detail I have also asked the publishers Wiley for authorisation to reuse on Wikipedia. This would be permission to use up to a page of text from the published review and maximum of 400 continuous words from the original review.

For the NHSBT publication I have authorisation from the original author to re-use their work.

I do not want to infringe copyright and with very technical medical language it is often difficult or impossible to rephrase parts of sentences without changing the meaning which is why I am asking the advice about putting sections in quotations marks if I know they have been used previously and how I manage something if I never knew someone else had written it in exactly the same way. TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 13:20, 23 December 2018 (UTC) reply

The way I write is by reading the source, understanding what the source means, and than writing down that understanding in my own words in easy to understand language.
By writing in easy to understand language, that will make sure you will not be to close to the original. I write generally one or two sentences from a source. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 02:15, 25 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Thank you Doc James

Thank you for your advice.

I realise now that some material that was too similar to the original sources and I will fully paraphrase going forwards.

I will use plain and easy to understand language whenever I can and keep technical terms to the minimum necessary.

TransfusionDoctor ( talk) 09:45, 25 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks. User:Diannaa have chatted with User:TransfusionDoctor and they agree to be much more careful going forwards. Transfusion one should never use the copy and paste function when working from a source as that can easily get one in trouble. Diannaa I think it is reasonable to give them another chance. I am willing to do spot checks on their work to make sure no further problems. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 11:43, 25 December 2018 (UTC) reply
