Here is the link to the Wikiproject Sanitation but I can't figure out how to link to it, as the beta editor is not available? /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Wikiproject_Sanitation EvM-Susana ( talk) 16:12, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Section "Society and Culture": What does this section include? Can anyone give me examples what this section should be about? Thanks. Mll mitch ( talk) 16:41, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Should costs be part of "Society and culture"? Maybe yes, if the information on costs is anyway brief. EvM-Susana ( talk) 00:12, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
I have been having lessons in citation style today. The style suggested here does not appear to be the same one in use by those who monitor pages for medical edit issues. Given the likely overlap, I suggest we use their citation style. That said, lots of our pages overlap with other projects, so there is likely to be some confusion about citation styles. JMWt ( talk) 20:50, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Another point I've noticed: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Sanitation#Edit suggests some tools to use, but unfortunately the majority of sanitation articles are not on PubMed. Is there anything to use which does the same thing with a DOI? JMWt ( talk) 14:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
When I see the first section, I expect to immediate get advice about headlines. Instead, the first thing that comes up is the categorization of types of articles.
Then once I read that, I expect to see a list of "Recommended Headlines" for each and every one of the categories presented. Instead, there are suggestions for only 3 of the types. (And those are not in the same order as they are presented in the list of categories)
My suggestion: Pull the Categories list out and start with that, noting however, that you only have suggested headlines for the first three categories. (and list Technologies, Concepts and Medically-related first)
I have more suggestions for writing a Manual of Style, but thought I would start with this and see if I can learn more about what flexibility there is for changing the style itself. If the style as presented has been vetted by a group of people, I won't tinker with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PlanetCare ( talk • contribs) 00:32, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
I looked "and/or" up on Wikipedia. Lawyers throughout history have objected to and/or. I'm now cured of using it. PlanetCare ( talk) 13:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 ( talk) 04:08, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Sanitation) →
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sanitation/Style advice – Put it under the wikiproject where it belongs. And clean up the lead. It's not really permissible on WP (per
WP:OWN,
WP:EDITING,
WP:MERCILESS) for a page to state "This Manual of Style (sanitation) belongs to the WikiProject Sanitation" (and the first half of that is redundant – we already know what the page name is). But at least it's clear up front that it's a wikiproject page, not a product of site-wide input and consensus. Anyway, this is not an MoS page: not a guideline, never proposed as part of MoS, has material in it that would never be part of MoS, and isn't named correctly for an MoS page. This is a typical "how we like to lay out articles within the project's scope"
WP:PROJPAGE essay, and should be tagged (and thus categorized) accordingly, with {{
WikiProject style advice}}

By the way, how does a reader go from here: Wikipedia:Manual of Style to the Manual of Style for Medicine Articles? I can't see a way to navigate in that direction (I can only see it in the opposite direction)? EMsmile ( talk) 01:32, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
