Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia
Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.
Piotr Konieczny
Associate Professor
Hanyang University

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - August 2022
- Issue 18—August 2022
- WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
Back (for now) by popular demand, it's the WP:MED Newsletter! Pardon the 9-month hiatus. This month features a catch-up list of promoted GAs since the last newsletter, and some calls to action for those looking to add to their todo lists. I hope this finds you well. Enjoy.

WP:MED News
- Since last newsletter, frightfully few medicine articles have passed through our main content review processes, Good Article and Featured Article. While we can agree there's more to editing than chasing bronze stars and green blobs, it would be nice to see the catalog of "Good" and "Featured" medicine articles growing rather than just aging. If you're interested in taking on a project but would like some light guidance or a helping hand, feel free to post your plans at WT:MED and you may find others willing to join.
- An ongoing effort seeks to review/update our oldest featured articles. Major depressive disorder, Lung cancer, and Schizophrenia are next on the chopping block (so to speak). If you're interested in helping to update any, please post at WT:MED or at those articles' talk pages. If you're new to the FA process, I'd encourage you to enlist the help of someone(s) who has been through the process before, as they can help clarify expectations and save you time.
- Got a minute? Running low on inspiration/motivation and need a simple task? Check out the 247 medicine articles tagged as citing no sources!
News from around the site
- The Reading/Web team has rolled out a new skin called "Vector 2022" that will soon become the default. Opt-in in your Preferences to try it out. As with any visual update, it'll take some getting used to. If you hate it, don't panic; once it becomes default you'll still be able to opt-out in your Preferences.
- The folks who brought us the nifty "Reply" button have now rolled out a "Subscribe" button to be notified of comments in a particular thread. I believe it's turned on for everyone now. Try it on a busy talk page (e.g. WT:MED).
- Voting is open for the community nominees to the WMF Board of Trustees, until September 6th.

WikiProject Med Newsletter - Issue 21
- Issue 21—June 2023
- WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
Hello all. Another irregular edition of the newsletter; pardon the six-month gap. I was inspired to collect this after seeing how much activity there is in the GA space on the medicine front. Please review a GAN if you have time, and help to welcome more medicine editors into the fold:

WP:MED News
- Wikipedia:Good article reassessment is back in business, with a new process and new coordinators. If you see medicine-related GAs that may no longer meet the GA criteria, feel free to nominate them for attention/reassessment (please, not too many at once, lest we get overwhelmed). I'll incorporate them into the listings above.
- Major depressive disorder, Schizophrenia, and Dengue fever are featured articles that need updating. Feel free to chime in at the talk pages or WT:MED if you have the time/bandwidth to help update. They'll likely go to featured article review for more feedback in the near(ish) future (probably in the order listed).

ANI Notice
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Loki (talk) 22:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
A friendly note
Hi. As your co-defendant, I just wanted to thank you, for your vigour in pointing out what is the absolute truth, to apologise that I don't have the inclination or the energy to pursue this much farther, and to offer a word or two of advice. You are right on the basic facts, but I think you've fallen down the same rabbit hole I have, which is to err on the side of indignant over-reaction. I'm not only talking about the ANI thread.
Loki's dishonesty, the egregious supervote close, the open gamesmanship from editors like Liliana etc. - these have been most effectively fought by contributions that have been forensic, like Chess and Astaire's early rebuttals, and less by those that were indignant. I don't consider it impossible that Loki is gaslighting for the purpose of generating outrage, in order to distract from the cool dismantling of his arguments earlier. So my advice is to take a breath, and maybe a break. Even if this travesty of a close isn't overturned, the subject can always be revisited later. There are reams of evidence on reliability that weren't even explored at all (like IPSO findings for and against the Telegraph) that can be brought up at any future RfC.
In the meantime, I think arguing on this forum on these terms is counterproductive, even though you are right. Samuelshraga (talk) 06:39, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
IPA
Hi, may I ask what the superscript /r/ in the transcription of your name is supposed to mean? I don't think that there is such a standard usage in the IPA, if this is meant to transcribe some peculiarity of the pronunciation of any one existing accent (your own?). Or are you perhaps trying to leave open the possibility of its being pronounced both in a rhotic and in a non-rhotic accent of English by other people? But then you seem to be ruling out a retroflex vowel, which is how most Americans would pronounce it in their type of rhotic accent whether they want to or not. Also, I think an /r/ in parentheses would have been more unambiguous in this case. Anonymous44 (talk) 23:15, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not going to lie, I created it a long time ago, and it very well could've just been an error. But I like the look of it, it's never meant to be perfectly accurate anyway :) -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 00:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
A friendly note
"Wikipedia does not give fringe theories or conspiracies "equal weight" to the actual facts."
This is exactly on point.
124 separate largely unchanged articles on the Trump is Russia equates to giving fringe theories and/or conspiracies much greater than equal weight.
A further example would be the laptop resulting in Giuliani being actionably libeled at least 318 times on the talk pages.
Wikipedia gives exceptional weight to fringe and/or conspiracies all dependent on political convenience. 2601:46:C47F:5A0:180B:19BC:B0B7:1A3B (talk) 21:03, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Mate, this quote of yours: this proposal amounts to "I think the most important thing is someone's POV on this one part of the conflict and want to remove someone who disagrees with me on that to make it easier to push my POV"
just comes off as assuming bad faith and Wikipedia:Casting aspersions. Please don't make it a habit? Even in contentious topics, or might I say particularly in contentious topics, we should assume good faith. starship.paint (RUN) 14:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- I was just coming here to say the same thing. I have, of course, noticed that you have on multiple occasions accused me, personally, of all sorts of bad faith, and I've been ignoring it thus far, but I also have noticed that you accuse others of the same, without evidence, and that is unacceptable. Please strike/rewrite your oppose vote so it does not accuse the proposer of making a bad faith proposal. Levivich (talk) 16:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
@Starship.paint and Levivich: - I didn't intend for my reply to be an accusation of bad faith, more of a "this is a slippery slope and what allowing this sort of 'redefining' of a topic area may lead to". I've struck the short reply and posted a more full reply to make it clear that I was not intending to say it was nominated in bad faith, but that I still disagree with the entire premise of that being a permissible thing to do. I should've expanded on my thoughts to begin with rather than attempting to keep them "short and sweet", especially in the way that I did. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 20:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for revising your statement, berchanhimez. I must say though, we seem to be viewing the issue in very different ways. You think that the proposal was an attempt to pre-emptively affect future actions by RTH in the topic area. I really don’t see it the same way - the issue that caused this was RTH bringing the ARBPIA case to ArbCom as an involved admin. Now that the discussion is closed, they can no longer claim to be an uninvolved admin at a possible ARBPIA case. That is the remedy that I believe the proposal sought. starship.paint (RUN) 06:25, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
A cup of tea for you!

Do not cast aspersions or make unsupported allegations, even at WP:AE. The expected standard is Every user is expected to interact with others civilly, calmly, and in a spirit of cooperation
, and that is even more important in WP:CTOPS. This warning is a result of this AE report. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:49, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
