RfC on Talk:Electric_smoking_system#Pizza_image. QuackGuru ( talk) 01:55, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
Gee's Linctus is mentioned in two articles: Laudanum and Over-the-counter drug. Laudanum says, '"Gee's Linctus" is also available from most UK pharmacies, especially the Independent stores'. Over-the-counter drug says, 'Frequently, customers buying larger-than-usual doses of [P] medicines (such as DXM, promethazine, codeine or Gee's linctus) will be queried, due to the possibility of abuse'. I don't think either statement is true.
WP:OR. I first remember Gee's Linctus from the mid 1950s, when I may have been 6 or 7. I lost my voice. My best friend's mother, who was a pharmacist, gave me a teaspoonful, and it came back as if by magic. I feel pretty sure that it was available OTC as a cough remedy and expectorant into the 1960s. It then became restricted: I recall in the late 1960s or early 1970s being accosted outside a chemist's shop by a bedraggled young woman who asked me to buy a bottle for her (she had the money; I declined). I'm not sure if it's available nowadays even on prescription, or even if it's still in the British Pharmacopoeia.
I think it contained tincture of opium. You can see the problem.
I know nothing about Dr Gee or his formulation. It may have been a UK variant of paregoric. This might be an interesting research project for someone. Narky Blert ( talk) 21:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure if MOS / MEDMOS, etc has anything to say about usage of (doctor) as a dab term for a BLP. It seems to me that such usage makes an implicit claim to notability as a medical practitioner, with the potential to mislead the general public: cf Talk:David Bull (doctor) (TV doctor and politician).

Just as an update: see Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/IIT SSSUP polo Valdera for the issues raised so far (copyright violations and sourcing biomedical claims to primary sources). I've not had what I would consider a positive response so far, and I've not had time to examine all of the medical articles affected by this course (among those listed at Wikipedia:School and university projects/IIT SSSUP polo Valdera #Groups and assignments), so if anybody has a little time to scan some of those articles for the issues mentioned and add their opinions, I'd be grateful. -- RexxS ( talk) 23:52, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

The news media seem to have suddenly noticed that the WHO has assigned an ICD-11 code number to the idea of Occupational burnout (just like it did in ICD-10). The same chapter has codes for "my dog died when I was a kid" and "there are no schools around here". Please be on the lookout for well-meaning people who forget that "has a code number" is not the same as "is a disease". WhatamIdoing ( talk) 20:16, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

I have been working on some pages that I think are part of the WikiProject Medicine, so I thought I should post something here and say hello. I'm basically finished "re-writing" the WP page on Haematoxylin. Currently, I have made some progress (I hope) on the H&E stain page (I have not worked on the "mode of action" section for H&E, but I hope to get to that). I made a few changes on the Histology page, although much work is still needed there.

Can anyone see any reason to save the trainwreck of a pseudoarticle at Thermogenics? It's a genuine (albeit niche) topic, but the current mess of dictionary definitions, unsourced commentary, and a long aside about a completely unrelated use of the term in geology, is IMO worse than nothing. I'm inclined either to remove the medical aspect altogether and leave it as a geology article, or delete it altogether, unless anyone feels like improving it (I don't intend improving it myself; my interest in bodybuilders self-medicating with dubious nutritional supplements is nil); this is one of those cases where having a poor quality article is worse than having no article at all.
(At some point, someone who understands nutrition really needs to go through Category:Dietary supplements ruthlessly deleting the drivel. A lack of oversight, coupled with a steady flow of enthusiasts for various crank fads and a handful of outright spammers, have created the perfect environment for a big stack of questionably sourced fluff like Rejuvelac, Slow Cow and Hematogen to fester.) ‑ Iridescent 19:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
I been working on the Papanicolaou stain page trying to add references and generally clean it up. I tried to make it clear that this was not the page for the Pap test or Pap smear and that this page is about the stain which helps a pathologist make a diagnosis, and not test that give a certain result. There are still a few references missing in the "results" section (although I have removed some unsourced things). I'm hoping to have some other folks take a look at it and make any changes they feel appropriate. I wasn't planning to work on this page, but I felt that I should add some references; then I began to have a "you touch it, you buy it" feeling. There are certainly a few rough areas.

If you're working on content creation, please go to https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/ and see whether any of those sources would be useful to you.
Access is limited for some of these sources, so please consider signing up for just one to get started, see how much you use it, and then go back for more if it's working for you. If you want to coordinate a few, then these are currently available (at least one subscription available) and relevant for this group:
For most of these, to get access, you need to have made at least 500 edits (all wikis). Most people watching this page probably meet that standard. Please don't apply if you have access to the same collection at school/work. For example, if you're at a university whose library subscribes to the BMJ, then please use the university resources, and leave that account to someone else.
I encourage you to try this out for at least one, even if you're not quite sure if it will work for you. Anyone who does content creation could benefit from this. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 16:03, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi WikiProject Medicine,
Starting this week, Wiki Education will be working with the Society of Family Planning (SFP) to improve articles about abortion and contraception through our Wiki Scholars & Scientists program. Their members, who are medical professionals and medical educators, will go through a 12-week process of learning about Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS), evaluating articles, making minor edits, and finally drafting a contribution to an article. They will be working in sandboxes at first and will receive feedback before incorporating into mainspace. In effect, it will have a similar appearance of a course project, except the participants are not students but professionals. We will, of course, be exercising caution throughout the process given the controversial nature of the subject area and the challenges new users often encounter when starting to edit biomedical content.
Participants will receive an honorarium from SFP. Here are the steps we're taking to ensure adherence to best practices for COI/paid editing:
The list of editors will be available once they create their account on our Dashboard page here: SFP Wiki Scholars
We are obviously keeping a close eye on their work, but if you see any problematic edits, please feel free to flag them to me or to Elysia (Wiki Ed), who is also helping support the courses. Thanks! -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 16:24, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello community,
I am writing to request help from any experienced Wikipedia editors, especially those who are familiar with medicine and hospitals. I work at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, Mass., and after much frustration was able to create our basic Wikipedia page here:
/info/en/?search=Cooley_Dickinson_Hospital
Wikipedia has kept its weight/relevance rather low, I fear, since I am an employee and it considers me as a bit too close to be an objective author, though I strove to keep the material completely unbiased and simply factual/historical. Some editors have gone in since I originally created it and helped out a bit, but I would like to get it closer to our affiliate Mass General Hospital's page:
/info/en/?search=Massachusetts_General_Hospital
...which I sort of modeled ours on (even though we are a much smaller hospital). If anyone can help improve it; i.e. further expand the info box, add photos and our logo (which looks much like MGH's), I can provide files and would very much appreciate the experienced help.
I am a fairly tech-savvy person and happy to help however I can, but an inexperienced Wikipedia author/editor, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you, Tom

Recently, the article Sustanon was turned into a dab page after being moved to Testosterone propionate/testosterone phenylpropionate/testosterone isocaproate/testosterone decanoate and a separate article created at Testosterone propionate/testosterone phenylpropionate/testosterone isocaproate. Both of these article titles are horrendously cumbersome, and certainly not WP:COMMONNAMES. I think they should be merged under the title Sustanon again, notwithstanding the usual guideline of listing drugs under generic names. (Pinging @ Medgirl131:, who created the dab page.)

I have a bunch of Peer-Reviewed Journal articles that I plan on using for posts. The video for this Wiki Med group section talked about specific sources, is my peer-reviewed articles sufficient? I am aware of the hierarchy of health evidence and Systematic Reviews being at the top. I also wish to inform that I have a BHSc so am knowledgeable about a few topics. Citing everything is something I agree with and do. Hope to work with everyone in a positive manner.

"I have a bunch of Peer-Reviewed Journal articles"and
"my peer-reviewed articles"; I can't quite work out if you mean they're articles that you've been contributed to in some way (authoring, co-authoring, research assistant etc.), or articles you've otherwise found. I'm assuming it's the latter; but, just in case it's the former, self citing is discouraged. Little pob ( talk) 08:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
I am editing Wikipedia since 2012 and have created many articles. I have created and edited biographies, history, culture, geography and event articles. I am educated in dentistry but have never tried to create medical article. I tried once to start editing medical article but refrained because I was unsure about too many things. The biggest challenge for me was the identification of acceptable medical sources. I need a mentor who can adopt and guide me personally, answer queries and correct me and the article when I am wrong. Regards,- Nizil ( talk) 15:01, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

An up-to-date, sortable list of all WP:MED-categorised articles with maintenance tags is here.

Whether you're into copyediting, NPOV debates or purging spam, this is where you can find your thing.

I have noticed that cytology is redirected to cell biology. Although cytology might be defined as the study of cells, it seems to me the more common usage (Google cytology) is more in line with cytopathology. Based on the old cytology talk page it seems cytology was merged with cell biology. I have no opinion on whether the cytology page should be aspirated from the punchcards (or wherever old pages go), but wonder if it would be reasonable/useful to have cytology redirect to cytopathology instead of cell biology. Just an idea. Waughd ( talk) 14:26, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

This link is about a collaborative biomedical research event hosted by a nonprofit called Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence: https://sv.ai/undiagnosed-1 That webpage covers a research case involving a specific patient – who happens to be my brother – that signed an open data release of virtually all of his medical records (>200 pages of documents), proteomic data, metabolomic data, and genomic data (i.e., his sequenced exome and hybrid second/third-generation sequencing of his entire genome) for the purpose of permitting ~200 researchers from across the globe (e.g., USA, Canada, UK, India, Japan) access to his medical data during a hackathon in which they attempted to identify the biomolecular basis of his condition using statistical and data science (AI and machine learning) methods. My brother isn't at all concerned about his privacy, so there was no attempt to deidentify his medical data or even hide his identity from the public (e.g., his first name, medical history, and face are all included on that webpage and all over SVAI's twitter feed); going to the event to collaborate with researchers by answering questions sort of obviates the point in doing that. One of the recommendations from that event was for his family members (e.g., me) to have their whole exomes and/or genomes sequenced and included in the analysis; so, I too am going to end up openly releasing identifiable genomic and metabolomic data and possibly a few medical records as well. I'm bringing this up here since I have a couple questions.

My brother was talking at length at that hackathon about what he thought was the best approach to molecular diagnostics for rare disease patients individually and in aggregate; apparently he stuck a chord with a lot of people. The Indian woman who led the team from MedGenome contacted my brother and offered to provide him $6000 of free short-read
scRNA-Seq on samples from various tissues (i.e., multiple
transcriptome sequences). This morning, a researcher from Stanford's Undiagnosed program who participated in the hackathon offered to onboard him there, generate a few more long-read instruments and run algorithms on them, and then run the validation tests that were mentioned at the hackathon as well as validation tests on what their new algorithms implicate; apparently, all of that testing will be free as well.
@ WhatamIdoing: Some of the researchers at the event were talking to my brother about the possibility that it might be Marfan, but the clinical phenotype and genetic variant didn't seem to fit. @ Ian Furst and Evolution and evolvability: Following up on what Ian asked above, would the Wikiversity:WikiJournal of Medicine accept primary research submissions pertaining to various applications of AI, bioinformatics, biostatistics, and computational biology to genomics and/or molecular diagnostics? https://f1000research.com/ sponsored SVAI's recent event, so they promoted publishing team research in that open access journal.

Hi Seppi - I'm so sorry to have missed the post you made at WT:MED/Archive_124. I wanted to just add a quick note here that I think something like what you're talking about could very well be published through WikiJMed. There are some editors at WikiJSci (especially User:Jacknunn ( link) who could advise on considerations and format, and help out in gathering suitable peer reviewers. Depending on exactly what description and analyses are being done, it could be a series of small publications, or a single publication that goes through multiple versions as new parts are added (versioning like a textbook, or extending with addenda). Let me know if you're still interested in the idea. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo) talk 07:05, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Gee's Linctus is mentioned in two articles: Laudanum and Over-the-counter drug. Laudanum says, '"Gee's Linctus" is also available from most UK pharmacies, especially the Independent stores'. Over-the-counter drug says, 'Frequently, customers buying larger-than-usual doses of [P] medicines (such as DXM, promethazine, codeine or Gee's linctus) will be queried, due to the possibility of abuse'. I don't think either statement is true.
WP:OR. I first remember Gee's Linctus from the mid 1950s, when I may have been 6 or 7. I lost my voice. My best friend's mother, who was a pharmacist, gave me a teaspoonful, and it came back as if by magic. I feel pretty sure that it was available OTC as a cough remedy and expectorant into the 1960s. It then became restricted: I recall in the late 1960s or early 1970s being accosted outside a chemist's shop by a bedraggled young woman who asked me to buy a bottle for her (she had the money; I declined). I'm not sure if it's available nowadays even on prescription, or even if it's still in the British Pharmacopoeia.
I think it contained tincture of opium. You can see the problem.

Can anyone see any reason to save the trainwreck of a pseudoarticle at Thermogenics? It's a genuine (albeit niche) topic, but the current mess of dictionary definitions, unsourced commentary, and a long aside about a completely unrelated use of the term in geology, is IMO worse than nothing. I'm inclined either to remove the medical aspect altogether and leave it as a geology article, or delete it altogether, unless anyone feels like improving it (I don't intend improving it myself; my interest in bodybuilders self-medicating with dubious nutritional supplements is nil); this is one of those cases where having a poor quality article is worse than having no article at all.
(At some point, someone who understands nutrition really needs to go through Category:Dietary supplements ruthlessly deleting the drivel.

If you want to coordinate a few, then these are currently available (at least one subscription available) and relevant for this group:
For most of these, to get access, you need to have made at least 500 edits (all wikis). Most people watching this page probably meet that standard. Please don't apply if you have access to the same collection at school/work. For example, if you're at a university whose library subscribes to the BMJ, then please use the university resources, and leave that account to someone else.

Hi WikiProject Medicine,
Starting this week, Wiki Education will be working with the Society of Family Planning (SFP) to improve articles about abortion and contraception through our Wiki Scholars & Scientists program. Their members, who are medical professionals and medical educators, will go through a 12-week process of learning about Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS), evaluating articles, making minor edits, and finally drafting a contribution to an article. They will be working in sandboxes at first and will receive feedback before incorporating into mainspace. In effect, it will have a similar appearance of a course project, except the participants are not students but professionals. We will, of course, be exercising caution throughout the process given the controversial nature of the subject area and the challenges new users often encounter when starting to edit biomedical content.
Participants will receive an honorarium from SFP. Here are the steps we're taking to ensure adherence to best practices for COI/paid editing:
The list of editors will be available once they create their account on our Dashboard page here: SFP Wiki Scholars
We are obviously keeping a close eye on their work, but if you see any problematic edits, please feel free to flag them to me or to Elysia (Wiki Ed), who is also helping support the courses. Thanks! -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 16:24, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello community,
I am writing to request help from any experienced Wikipedia editors, especially those who are familiar with medicine and hospitals. I work at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, Mass., and after much frustration was able to create our basic Wikipedia page here:

Wikipedia has kept its weight/relevance rather low, I fear, since I am an employee and it considers me as a bit too close to be an objective author, though I strove to keep the material completely unbiased and simply factual/historical. Some editors have gone in since I originally created it and helped out a bit, but I would like to get it closer to our affiliate Mass General Hospital's page:
/info/en/?search=Massachusetts_General_Hospital
...which I sort of modeled ours on (even though we are a much smaller hospital). If anyone can help improve it; i.e. further expand the info box, add photos and our logo (which looks much like MGH's), I can provide files and would very much appreciate the experienced help.
I am a fairly tech-savvy person and happy to help however I can, but an inexperienced Wikipedia author/editor, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you, Tom

Recently, the article Sustanon was turned into a dab page after being moved to Testosterone propionate/testosterone phenylpropionate/testosterone isocaproate/testosterone decanoate and a separate article created at Testosterone propionate/testosterone phenylpropionate/testosterone isocaproate. Both of these article titles are horrendously cumbersome, and certainly not WP:COMMONNAMES. I think they should be merged under the title Sustanon again, notwithstanding the usual guideline of listing drugs under generic names. (Pinging @ Medgirl131:, who created the dab page.)
I don’t want to formally propose the merge myself, as my schedule is unpredictably intermittent these days. — Gorthian ( talk) 21:19, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

If anyone would be willing to take another look at the updated and correct WikiJMed article on Lassa Fever, it would be much appreciated.
Discussions with the author indicate that they were under two misapprehensions: that an inline citation was sufficient attribution when using text from a CC-BY source, and that WHO was published CC0. There is discussion on exactly how to make up the previous version (retracted or major revisions) and whether a case study will be submitted to COPE for feedback.

"I have a bunch of Peer-Reviewed Journal articles"and
"my peer-reviewed articles"; I can't quite work out if you mean they're articles that you've been contributed to in some way (authoring, co-authoring, research assistant etc.), or articles you've otherwise found.

I have noticed that cytology is redirected to cell biology. Although cytology might be defined as the study of cells, it seems to me the more common usage (Google cytology) is more in line with cytopathology. Based on the old cytology talk page it seems cytology was merged with cell biology. I have no opinion on whether the cytology page should be aspirated from the punchcards (or wherever old pages go), but wonder if it would be reasonable/useful to have cytology redirect to cytopathology instead of cell biology.

This link is about a collaborative biomedical research event hosted by a nonprofit called Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence: https://sv.ai/undiagnosed-1 That webpage covers a research case involving a specific patient – who happens to be my brother – that signed an open data release of virtually all of his medical records (>200 pages of documents), proteomic data, metabolomic data, and genomic data (i.e., his sequenced exome and hybrid second/third-generation sequencing of his entire genome) for the purpose of permitting ~200 researchers from across the globe (e.g., USA, Canada, UK, India, Japan) access to his medical data during a hackathon in which they attempted to identify the biomolecular basis of his condition using statistical and data science (AI and machine learning) methods. My brother isn't at all concerned about his privacy, so there was no attempt to deidentify his medical data or even hide his identity from the public (e.g., his first name, medical history, and face are all included on that webpage and all over SVAI's twitter feed); going to the event to collaborate with researchers by answering questions sort of obviates the point in doing that. One of the recommendations from that event was for his family members (e.g., me) to have their whole exomes and/or genomes sequenced and included in the analysis; so, I too am going to end up openly releasing identifiable genomic and metabolomic data and possibly a few medical records as well. I'm bringing this up here since I have a couple questions.

My brother was talking at length at that hackathon about what he thought was the best approach to molecular diagnostics for rare disease patients individually and in aggregate; apparently he stuck a chord with a lot of people. The Indian woman who led the team from MedGenome contacted my brother and offered to provide him $6000 of free short-read
scRNA-Seq on samples from various tissues (i.e., multiple
transcriptome sequences). This morning, a researcher from Stanford's Undiagnosed program who participated in the hackathon offered to onboard him there, generate a few more long-read instruments and run algorithms on them, and then run the validation tests that were mentioned at the hackathon as well as validation tests on what their new algorithms implicate; apparently, all of that testing will be free as well.
@ WhatamIdoing: Some of the researchers at the event were talking to my brother about the possibility that it might be Marfan, but the clinical phenotype and genetic variant didn't seem to fit. @ Ian Furst and Evolution and evolvability: Following up on what Ian asked above, would the Wikiversity:WikiJournal of Medicine accept primary research submissions pertaining to various applications of AI, bioinformatics, biostatistics, and computational biology to genomics and/or molecular diagnostics? https://f1000research.com/ sponsored SVAI's recent event, so they promoted publishing team research in that open access journal.

Hi Seppi - I'm so sorry to have missed the post you made at WT:MED/Archive_124. I wanted to just add a quick note here that I think something like what you're talking about could very well be published through WikiJMed. There are some editors at WikiJSci (especially User:Jacknunn ( link) who could advise on considerations and format, and help out in gathering suitable peer reviewers. Depending on exactly what description and analyses are being done, it could be a series of small publications, or a single publication that goes through multiple versions as new parts are added (versioning like a textbook, or extending with addenda). Let me know if you're still interested in the idea. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo) talk 07:05, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
