WP:MED is an overview of the medical aspects.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.

Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:12, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this thread and I wondered if there was any thing I could help you with. You can reply at my talk page or go to my user page then under the toolbox there is an option to email. Thanks. Biosthmors (talk) 17:27, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replied at User_talk:Biosthmors#WikiProject_Medicine_Elective_at_UCSF. Best! Biosthmors (talk) 04:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also I sent you an email last week perhaps. Did you get it? Thanks. Biosthmors (talk) 05:12, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael - I think we may have met in person at some point, although I am horrible at names and not too sure. I'd love to help out with your upcoming UCSF elective in any way I can. If you'll be in the bay area at that point, would you be available to meet up and chat on the 17th of this month or so about it? (I can come to you in the city.) I'm not the most experienced person as far as medical editing goes, but have a decent grasp on most of the problems classes working in these areas have run in to in the past, and have a good chunk of experience facilitating educational assignments in general. Given the problems that a lot of medrs classes have run in to in the past, I'd absolutely love to help make sure we have a successful local one :) Kevin Gorman (talk) 06:17, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Michael. Where are we at with the launch of the elective this spring? Do we have potential candidates lined up?

A tag has been placed on Open mHealth requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. — PinkAmpers&^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 20:21, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter if you are affiliated with the organization as you claimed on the deleted article's talk page, or if you have been given permission to re-post copyrighted content. The point is, Wikipedia does not have permission to re-publish copyrighted content, and that permission is not granted by virtue of some random user like you or me asserting that such permission exists. Wikipedia needs communication through official verifiable channels that permission is granted to re-publish that content. See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for further information. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:40, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you will need a release through the WP:OTRS process were those who own the copyright agree to release it under a CC BY SA license. Let me know when you have it and I will restore the page in question. Also if you feel that you have paraphrased sufficiently I can restore as well. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 20:42, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Sorry I had to do this. Reuse of content is a very confusing area, and I know that having once made the mistake myself of using material copyrighted to a group affiliated with my family. If you say that you've been permission to reuse this material, I believe you, but I hope you understand why we ask for official verification; the matter of allowing reuse for any and all purposes – required of all contributions to Wikipedia – confuses things a bit more. I hope this hasn't been too much of a bother, and I encourage you to take Doc James up on his offer if you can get OTRS verification. — PinkAmpers&^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 12:57, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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 :)

Hey, I just sent you an email with details of a medical-related Wikipedia talk I'm giving in the east bay this fall -- hoping we can join forces if you're available! -- phoebe / (talk to me) 18:47, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on the NYT article on your project! I showed it the campus here and they are quite impressed. Working on getting a meeting with the head of our medicine program to see how to continue the work we began last school year. [1] Thelmadatter (talk) 15:31, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know what Dr. Azzam's WP name is so could you please pass along my best wishes? Thelmadatter (talk) 15:32, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feature – Ebola articles

During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!

Just some of our over 60 translations:

• Xhosa
• Northern Sotho
• Zulu
• Tsonga
• Venda
• Hausa
• Igbo
• Yoruba
• Kinyarwanda
• Swahili
• Tigrinya

New roles and guides!

At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page!

New sign up page!

We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed!

Style guides for translations

Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes.

Some more stats

• In July, 18 full article translations went live (WP:RTT), and an additional 6 simplified versions went live (WP:RTTS)!
• We have a number of new lead integrators into Dutch, Polish, Arabic and Bulgarian, with more to come in smaller languages! (Find them here old sign up page)
• We were mentioned in a Global Voices Online report by Subhashish Panigrahi at Doctors and translators are working together to bridge Wikipedia's medical language gap
• New medical professionals have started, dedicated to working in Odiya and Kinyarwanda!
