I think the majority of the active editors here know that WikiProject Medicine has an issue with unsourced statements in articles. I'm not blaming anyone; a lot of the citation issues come from editors not familiar with Wikipedia. Regardless of how this issue started, I think we need to have a conversation about how to fix it.
I've noticed that there are typically two different types of pages that have unspurced statements: pages that are almost completely unsourced (for example, 1q21.1 duplication syndrome), and pages that have one or two unsourced statements but are otherwise well cited (for example, 3-M syndrome).
For the first type of page, I believe it's best to do a quick literary search to see if you can find where the information came from; however, I've found that this is usually quite low-yeild, especially when the whole page is unsourced. I believe most of these pages need to be rewritten. Obviously, this is a time-consuming task, but something needs to be done about the issue.
For the second type of page, usually I can find where they got the statment by searching keywords from the unsourced statement in Google. When I can't find the original source, I think it's fair to delete the unsourced passage, assuming it is not somehow vital information (however, if it were vital information, there should be a source somewhere with that information).
I'm looking for other ideas, suggestions, advice, and knowledge on this topic. I'm still a fairly new editor, and I haven't worked much on correcting this problem, so if anyone with more knowledge could share their opinions, that would be great. I just want to emphasize that this is not me trying to bash any editors; I just think it's time we have a conversation about this very prevelant issue.

I've been working with Pete Nelson from UKY (and by "working with" I mean mostly doing some minor cleanup on his work) on User:WikiDan61/LATE which is intended to replace the current contents of Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy. As can be seen from the existing article, Nelson is clearly a recognized expert in the field for this condition. I got involved when he made a major wholesale edit to the article, basically blowing away the existing citations. Once I was able to mentor him through some Wikipedia basics, and help him with some article organization ideas, he has cleaned up the article (now living in my user space as a drafting location). I'd like to have someone from this project assess the present state of the draft and see if it is ready to be copied into place of the existing article. I might also need some Wikipedia expertise on how to do the merge to preserve the proper authorship attributions (his and my edits in my userspace). Thanks!! WikiDan61 ChatMe!

A new form of B12 deficiency affects the nervous system only, with B12 levels remaining normal in the blood: Transcobalamin receptor antibodies in autoimmune vitamin B12 central deficiency - Pluvinage et al., 26 Jun 2024. I wonder if it merits a mention in B12 deficiency or even a standalone article. The condition reminds me of cerebral folate deficiency. -- CopperKettle ( talk) 05:43, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Presently, Covid-Organics mentions a Phase III trial, published in a journal from Fortune Journals (who's apparently predatory per Beall's List), as if it was in a typical, credible journal, without further comment/context. I'm hoping someone with more experience and energy than me could e.g. add a sentence or two properly contextualizing the quality of the journal/trial. Cybercobra (talk) 22:31, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, my name is Pete Nelson (wiki username is Pete Nelson from UKY),
I wrote a web page about LATE: /info/en/?search=Limbic-predominant_age-related_TDP-43_encephalopathy It generally gets around 300 hits per month; not a ton but it's a disease with high public health impact.
I had written the web page in a somewhat essay-like format and I noted that it had a poor formatting score according to Wikipedia editors. Thus, I rewrote the web page and, under the advice and help by WikiDan61, we produced a Wikipedia page (in his sandbox) that conforms better the format and has a bit more info. Apparently this replacement (of my web page, by my web page) has struck the senior medical editors as problematic, and therefore WikiDan61 suggested I contact you on this page.
Can you help please?

I posted this story from the Signpost last month. Things have evolved a bit and now Retraction bot handles {{ Erratum}}, {{ Expression of concern}}, and {{ Retracted}}. These populate the following categories:
If the citation is no longer reliable, then the article needs to be updated, which could be as minor as the removal/replacement of the citation with a reliable one, to rewriting an entire section that was based on flawed premises. If the citation to a retracted paper was intentional, like in the context of a controversy noting that a paper was later retracted, you can replace {{
retraction|...}}
with {{
retraction|...|intentional=yes}}
/{{
expression of concern|...}}
with {{
expression of concern|...|intentional=yes}}
/{{
Erratum|...}}
with {{
Erratum|...|checked=yes}}

I put the list of articles within the scope of WP:MED in collapsed sections. Any help you can give with those are greatly appreciated. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 20:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm attempting to rewrite the page Connective tissue disease and I've kind of ran into an issue. When it comes to writting about catagories of diseases or more broad terms should we follow the classic format of signs symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment etc. or should this be modified a bit? The issue I've come across is that there usually isn't much information on the group of disorders itself as most research is directed on individual diseases. Meaning if i wanted to make a section for symptoms of Connective tissue disease the only resource i could find summerizing the general symptoms is the cleveland clinic page [2] and Cedars-Sinai page [3]. Currently a lot of the disease catgory pages just have the classifications for the disorders. Would it be appropriate to make the classification section its own section (instead of having it as a subsection of diagnosis) and moving it farther up due to it being relevant (like I've done in my draft for connective tissue disease). Sorry if this came off as a bit of a ramble but I've been meaning to ask this question for awhile. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath ( talk) 23:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
For some time not the first sentence in Addison's disease has been "Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency, is a rare long-term endocrine disorder characterized by inadequate production of the steroid hormones cortisol and aldosterone by the two outer layers of the cells of the adrenal glands (adrenal cortex), causing adrenal insufficiency." However there's a bit of a disagreement going on between me and another editor.
They removed the term rare stating "unquantified relative terms are meaningless". I reverted this edit with my reasoning being "taking out the fact that Addisons disease is rare doesn't make sense as it is well sourced and helpful to readers (eg. the average reader knows what rare is but may not understand that 1 in 10,000 is considered rare for a disorder" perhaps I didn't word this very well but i stand by this point. To which the other editor reverted my revert with the reaoning "an unquantified relative term does not provide the information that you seem to believe was taken out. the number you quote remains in the lead section" and started this conversation on the talk page.
I have weighed in on the talk page as to why i think rare should be kept in the lead but I'm not going to add it back as I want to prevent conflict and would appreciate some unbiased opinions on the topic. If anyone could weigh in on the talk page that would be greately appreciated. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath ( talk) 15:49, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
the australian euthanasia activist Philip Nitschke announced earlier this month that the sarco pod, a device used to help carry out assisted suicides, would be used for the first time. i found headlines saying switzerland was gonna ban the device, but its only been sort of banned in 2 swiss cantons.
problem is, most news outlets reporting on this are listed in wikipedias section on reliable sources as untrustworthy and only swiss news outlets have reported reliably about it. I dont think i have the full picture tho. this is a sensitive subject and i need help finding sources.
i need a bit of help on adding the info mentioned above to the page on the sarco pod. i need help finding out whats going on exactly. i cant find any announcements on these developments on Exit Internationals website or on swiss agencies regulating medicine.

Assistance is requested: With the wonderful help of the Wiki educators and LFS specialists at the National Cancer Institute's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, I have been able to update this page with clarifications to most all of the headings during my "Wiki science" course. However, due to potential conflicts of interest, I need to request assistance from another editor to add the "Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association" (aka LFS Association / LFSA) as a reputable source that promotes LFS research and supports LFS families, as well as connecting families with the best providers known, world-wide. The LFSA is comprised of an all-volunteer board, with medical and scientific boards comprised of the top international LFS researchers, along with a genetic counseling group of very active LFS/cancer genetic providers who contribute greatly. The LFSA holds the top international scientific symposiums on LFS wherein families are also involved every two years and we offer an international Youth Program with fun and educational workshops every other year. I volunteer for the LFSA, so if someone else could add our website to this page, it could help many cancer-prone families connect with each other and the best resources for care. Thank you.

As per the heading: the July/August 2024 Print Edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) used a WikiCommons picture of eosinophilic esophagitis.
Does any one happen to know User:CoRus13? (He doesn't seem to be around much. I wonder whether he knows the CMAJ liked his image enough to use it.)
Note: The article was published electronically in February.

PS - CMAJ previously used one of my images of diffuse alveolar damage on the cover (for an article about ARDS in July 2021)... and violated the terms of use. (I saw the image when it was published. They ended-up publishing a correction.) Nephron T| C 22:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Some members of this WikiProject might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UCSF/Foundations II (Summer 2024) because it appears all the participants in that course have chosen articles about medical topics to try and improve. Given the added difficulty associated with editing such articles, it might be a good idea for someone to check their work to see whether it's OK, and perhaps also offer suggestions on how such articles should be edited. I've already asked the course's Wikipedia Expert about this at User talk:Ian (Wiki Ed)#Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UCSF/Foundations II (Summer 2024) because of some edits I saw made to Overmedication, but other articles might need to be checked as well. In addition, given the apparent interest of these students and their course instructor in this genre of article, they might be good candidates to join this WikiProject. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, i wonder if I could have some extra eyes on the article for Intensive interaction?
The article was raised at WP:COIN earlier this year after it was edited by an account called user:Intensive Interaction Leeds and some form of COI was suspected. The user turned out to be an ex practitioner who wanted to improve the article. As the article had previously apparently been curated by non independent users from the Intensive Interaction Institute I gave this user some advice on the article talk page re: how the article might be improved.
The article is now, I think, somewhat improved - especially re: the removal of PROMO text. The user has now asked me if the 2017 flags for addl citations, promo and original research can be removed. I am unsure if this would be appropriate and thought it best to ask here. Any assistance gratefully received. Axad12 ( talk) 00:29, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi all, I'm not someone who usually edits medical topics but I have some concerns about the tone and content of Low-dose naltrexone and would appreciate having some more experienced editors look it over. I don't feel that I'm personally equipped to address this so I've gone ahead and tagged it for promotional content, but as this is a medical matter I wanted to raise it here to get some extra eyes on it.

As the article had previously apparently been curated by non independent users from the Intensive Interaction Institute I gave this user some advice on the article talk page re: how the article might be improved.
The article is now, I think, somewhat improved - especially re: the removal of PROMO text. The user has now asked me if the 2017 flags for addl citations, promo and original research can be removed. I am unsure if this would be appropriate and thought it best to ask here. Any assistance gratefully received. Axad12 ( talk) 00:29, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi all, I'm not someone who usually edits medical topics but I have some concerns about the tone and content of Low-dose naltrexone and would appreciate having some more experienced editors look it over. I don't feel that I'm personally equipped to address this so I've gone ahead and tagged it for promotional content, but as this is a medical matter I wanted to raise it here to get some extra eyes on it.
