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.

For individuals wishing to notify others of articles being created or for which they seeking collaborators, or ask for completed pages to be peer-reviewed, please see WikiProject Clinical medicine/Collaboration.

Voting

Showcase

Featured articles are considered to be Wikipedia's very best work; they must pass through a review process as featured article candidates before being selected. Articles in bold indicate that the article has been featured on the Main Page on the date noted.

Featured lists are considered to be the best lists in Wikipedia; they must pass through a review process as featured list candidates before being selected.

Other featured content

Types of content other than articles—such as images, portals, sounds, and topics—can also achieve featured content status.

Articles pertaining to the project

Journal articles

Good articles

Good articles have been evaluated for their quality, but they have not been through the featured article process. For good articles in the biology and medicine category, see Wikipedia:Good_articles/Natural_sciences#Biology_and_medicine.


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, although collaborations may be extended from time to time (for instance, during featured article candidacy). 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

Screening (medicine)

Nominated at 06:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC); if not selected by 31 January 2006, needs 6 votes to remain in consideration.

Screening is an important link for many medical articles, as discussed on Talk:Prostate cancer. As genetic screening becomes more widely available, the public needs a NPOV resource to help everyone better understand the pros and cons of screening. So far we have only a stub. This will be a bit different than collaborating on a specific disease article, but should be interesting!

Comments Also need transfer some of discussion in Prostate cancer about PSA's faillings across to PSA article itself David Ruben Talk 14:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for beating you to this! Didn't see it was a COTW until now. It still definitely needs some work, I've expanded it in a pretty lop-sided way, so there's plenty of room for improvement! Tristanb 08:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Obesity and overweight

Nominated at 12:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC); if not selected by 26 January 2006, needs 4 votes to remain in consideration.

This subject attracts immense attention (just look at the vandalism), and I've been editing it for a little while to improve its evidence base and make it a useful resource for all those people confused about their weight. The science is still imperfect, and I'm still not thrilled about the sections that deal with cultural and social factors. The treatment section covers ACP guidelines but is still thin on the evidence for dieting. JFW | T@lk 12:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Nominated 29 January 2006 (UTC); if not selected by 5 February 2006, needs 4 votes to remain in consideration.

An immensely common chronic condition, still undertreated and associated with marked loss of life expectancy, quality of life and frequently mistaken for asthma. The present article is practically rubbish. JFW | T@lk 00:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Practically rubbish"?... Okay, it needs a lot of work. Axl 08:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Important medicine article

  1. Support --User:69.192.9.65

Medicine

Nominated at 04:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC); if not selected by February 22, needs 2 votes to remain in consideration.

This is a core topic that would be included in a release version of Wikipedia (on paper or CD)

  1. Maurreen 04:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. JFW | T@lk 13:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC) Contains a lot of content but is not systematic enough, needs more sources, and NPOV of the criticism section to adequately reflect criticism of medical practice through the centuries.[reply]

Comments

Veterinary medicine

Nominated on 15 March 2006 (UTC); if not selected by March 22, needs 2 votes to remain in consideration.

I hope no one will scoff at this nomination. Have a look at the article and see for yourselves that it could easily be improved. This is human medicine's little sister, and should not be left in this sorry state!

All Drug Articles

Nominated on 14 March, 2006

The status of the different drug articles is way too varied. I propose that we drive to standardize them and include, for every medication, a summary of vital information in the drugbox template. The format, as is, is spotty and inconsistent throughout the drug section. A big overhaul of all medicine would be invaluable for a section with such immense potential.
