Shortcut

Every week, a Medicine Collaboration of the Week will be selected using this page. The article may or may not yet exist. The topics may either relate to medical basic sciences (anatomy, biochemistry, and so on), or clinical medicine (illnesses, surgical procedures, and so on). The aim is to have a featured-standard article by the end of the period through widespread cooperative editing. This collaboration is part of the WikiProject Preclinical Medicine and WikiProject Clinical medicine.

The project aims to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate and vote on articles (see Voting below). This collaboration uses approval voting. You do not have to be involved in the field of medicine to participate; the opinion of laypeople is valued both for article suggestions and to help ensure that articles are not too technical. New articles will be selected every Wednesday (see the record of previous collaborations). This collaboration is still new; rules may change or be bent as we find our footing. The next article will be chosen on Wednesday, August 17, 2005.

Voting

Collaborations
Articles
Science and technology
Miscellaneous

Please vote in favor of as many candidates as you like; oppose votes have no effect (approval voting is used). Any registered user may vote for an article, provided that account's first edit occurred before the nomination. You do not have to have any special knowledge of medicine to nominate or vote for an article. To vote for an article, simply edit the appropriate section and add # ~~~~. If you believe that a topic does not fall within the scope of this project, please mention your objections in the "Comments" section. Every Wednesday, the article currently with the most votes will be selected to be the new collaboration. In the case of a tie, the article nominated first will be selected. Articles not selected must receive at least two votes per week to remain in consideration. If a nomination fails to achieve sufficient votes, it may be renominated after at least two weeks. You may wish to see the archive of successful nominations.

Nominations

Nominations may be made at any time. Nominators must be registered users. To make a nomination, follow the following steps:

  1. Edit the list of nominations and paste the following text at the bottom: {{subst:MCOTWnew|article name|~~~~~|date in seven days|your reason for nominating|~~~~}}.
  2. Change the text accordingly (for example, {{subst:MCOTWnew|Histiocytosis X|~~~~~|August 2, 2005|It has an "X" in its name.|~~~~}}).
  3. Please add {{MCOTWnom}} to the top of the article's talk page.

Nominations for the next MCOTW

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome

Nominated on 04:00, July 26, 2005 (UTC); if not selected by August 16, 2005, needs 6 votes to remain in consideration.

This is a pretty important syndrome and really should have more than the criteria and a few causes.

Comments

Biochemistry

Nominated on 18:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC); if not selected by August 26, 2005, needs 8 votes to remain in consideration.

This article is woefully behind other closely related articles, like Molecular Biology or DNA. There's such a rich history, too.

Support

  1. Mr.Bip 18:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:50, July 30, 2005 (UTC) This one's not as bad as Human physiology was, but such a basic topic should be more well covered.

Protein

Nominated on 18:22, 5 August 2005 (UTC); if not selected by Aug 19, 2005, needs 4 votes to remain in consideration.

This article is not in terrible shape, but such a fundamental topic should be featured article quality.

Psychotherapy

Nominated on 21:06, 5 August 2005 (UTC); if not selected by 26 August, needs 6 votes to remain in consideration.

important topic that affects many people, needs further improvement

Support

  1. Fenice 21:06, 5 August 2005 (UTC) support withdrawn, as per comments of users below - I agree, it is probably not within the scope of this collaboration.[reply]

Comments

  1. This is a vast topic and only a collaboration can begin to build an article that does it justice. Lumos3
  2. I have a concern regarding this nomination: The introduction to this project states: "The topics may either relate to medical basic sciences (anatomy, biochemistry, and so on), or clinical medicine (illnesses, surgical procedures, and so on)." Although there is much scientific about the practice of psychotherapy, I am not certain that it primarily relates to what the original founders of this project had in mind. (edited) Edwardian 18:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK Guys - I would like to try to douse what seems like a spark that could start a flame war. I think that Edwardian is concerned based on comments that have been left by Fenice on the bottom of these talk pages: Vaughan, JoeSmack, siafu, Whicky1978, and especially Lumos3 - Fenice writes here that "I am doing these mass mailings a lot." <- (comment by Mr.Bip, signature added to clarify by --Fenice)

-- You are of course free to decrease the number of participants in any project again by spreading your own mass-mailing, Mr. Bip! In this case, I'll point you to the list of interested contributors for psychotherapy - if you want to do this, drop me a message at my talk page.--Fenice 09:57, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Psychotherapy is a perfectly fine nomination, but it is surprising to see such an unexpected surge of support. I think that if all of you are passionate about working on Psychotherapy, it's not necessary to flood a COTW project to acheive your goal - you can get together and edit the article yourselves. Since this is a small project, you can create a big hiccup in our normal operations by packing in votes on a particular nomination. If you'd like to help out this COTW and our parent projects, you are of course more than welcome to do so. I also welcome Fenice's point of view. Mr.Bip 05:39, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Bip's comments sum up my concerns nicely. As Edwardian alludes above, while psychotherapy is a part of medicine, my worry is that it will fall outside the expertise of most of the usual participants here—I personally would be able to add very little, nor do I have any reference books that would help. I was a bit troubled by the campaiging, but as long as the voters are prepared to work on the article, and hopefully can help us out in the future, I welcome the participation (and as Mr. Bip says, you don't need a formal collaboration—you can just go ahead and work on the article now!). In any case, I hope that the supporters will stay with our project and help us improve other articles in the future, and I thank User:Fenice for his efforts in publicizing our new collaboration. — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:10, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Carcinogenesis

Nominated on 17:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC); if not selected by 22 August 2005, needs 4 votes to remain in consideration.

Currently a one sentence stub. The brief overview of this process in Cancer is OK, but it lacks any detail and is somewhat confusing.

  2. Unbelievable this is so shoddy. JFW | T@lk 20:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vaccine

Nominated on 17:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC); if not selected by August 29, 2005, needs 6 votes to remain in consideration.

This article needs to be greatly expanded and brought up to date with all of the recent developments in the vaccine field (AIDS, H5N1, novel vaccines)
