Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
We do that, by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF)
Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead, that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
More generally see WP:MEDHOW
Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

Mystery scoring

Hi ASRASR. I see you are adding a section called "Scoring and suggested article improvements" to the talk pages of various articles related to sustainable development. What does it mean when you assert something like "this article scores 43 out of 100 and the lead scores 13"? Who or what produced these scores? Are these assessments standardised in an accepted way for technical writing? Where are some comparison points, such as the average score for a random Wikipedia article, or a b-grade assessed article. What would be considered a target score, and who is making these judgements? In short, can you point to an appropriate objective framework for these scores? If not, it might be more helpful to omit them and just list specific improvements you would like to see. Also, you are talking to voluntary editors here. Just telling them what you consider is wrong and instructing them what they should be doing, as you did here, is not always a hugely successful strategy, more like a prompt for editors to focus their interest elsewhere. Regards. — Epipelagic (talk) 01:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Epipelagic. Thanks for the good feedback. We are using a mix of available automated scoring tools i.e. webfx, wikiedu and xtools which assess readability, sourcing, completeness, illustrations, level of embedding (wikilinks) and then we are adding expert/editor-based assessments over quantitative scales to determine comprehensiveness, structure, connectivity, neutrality and quality of illustrations. The results are then combined into an index for the lead and one for the entire article. We then provide some advice for editors based on the results of the scoring. This advice is also notes to ourselves when we return to the article, since we will be contributing to improving all the articles we are scoring. This is still work in progress that has only recently started. So improvements are currently being made. Yes the whole exercise is based on improving articles within the content assessment range Stub-Start-C-B, aiming to add more precision and providing a tool to help monitor progress as editors provide input. We will be providing a link to the scoring system after some further testing. We'll make sure to keep you informed. Thanks again for your feedback. ASRASR (talk) 16:21, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Epipelagic, I am collaborating with User:ASRASR on this 2-year project. We are currently 6 months into it. A description of the project, which focuses on SDG6, SDG 13 and SDG 14 is available here. (I saw your comment on the talk page there, thanks for that). Your comments are very much appreciated and you are right, the scores that had been added to the talk pages were somewhat mysterious and it might have been better to omit the actual values. I have today updated the description on how the scores are derived. This is now available here. If you have a moment to look at that table, I would very much value your feedback (probably best on the project's talk page). There is also a large spreadsheet which we use to score the quality parameters of the individual articles. We can share that with anyone who is interested, and perhaps put a link to it from the project page as well. EMsmile (talk) 07:30, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copying from compatibly-licensed sources

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have inserted Creative Commons licensed text into Wikipedia, as you did at Sustainable development. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly-licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 04:45, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DanCherek, I have this talk page on my watchlist as we collaborate together. Is it easiest to add this at the end of the citation {{CC-notice|cc=by4}}? EMsmile (talk) 06:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I did in this case (see Special:Diff/1040367465), my message above was just an FYI for future (or past) cases of copying licensed material. That template is what I usually use, since it's pretty concise and easy, if the source material is licensed under one of the Creative Common licenses listed at {{CC-notice}}. DanCherek (talk) 10:49, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks DanCherek for the extra guidance on that CC question. Regards ASRASR (talk) 14:49, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you time to read and comment on Greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey?

Hello ASRASR,

I see you are beavering away but might you have time to take a look at

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_Turkey

I realise this is less important than the article you are working on. But if it were to reach featured standard it might serve as an example or inspiration for more important articles such as Greenhouse gas emissions by China

Any suggestions for improvement (or of course direct edits) are welcome but if you can only check one section maybe your expertise would fit http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_Turkey#Agriculture,_fishing_and_waste

or

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_Turkey#Carbon_sinks

Chidgk1 (talk) 10:32, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chidgk1 Thanks for the request. Will take a look. ASRASR (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chidgk1 Have looked at the two sections you pointed to. To comment with any intelligence one needs to be rather familiar with Turkey. I suggest this be taken on by a researcher from either govt or university. Here are some references ::https://webdosya.csb.gov.tr/db/iklim/icerikler/sera_gazi_em-syon-raporu-20200506141834.pdf

Regards ASRASR (talk) 13:45, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand - hope to get in touch with a local academic - anyway your updates to the general articles are very useful - as climate adaptation is obviously becoming much more important here - thanks very much Chidgk1 (talk) 08:17, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Carbon footprint has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 13:40, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ASRASR: I happened to see this as I was also working on carbon footprint today. In case you don't know which edit it was, it was the one on 11 June where you had put in the edit summary: "added 2 paragraphs dealing with the fact that international transport is not directly included in the Paris Agreement". Some of that content must have been copied from here: https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/carbon-footprinting-could-accurately-measure-countries-emissions/news-story/77c5b75eae39858395046ebd7abb08a3. Perhaps you could paraphrase it better and put it back in; although the source given (an Australian news website) is not great. All the versions that came afterwards (mostly my edits) are now also deleted but I think those edits that I had made there are still in place (I always get confused with those deletions). Also pinging User:VivhD who had suggested that particular content to be added. EMsmile (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa. Thanks for the heads up on that COPYVIO. Wondering how I can get access to that sentence in order to rewrite it properly. It is gone from the article revision history pages. http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Carbon_footprint&action=history&offset=20230612124315%7C1159772582 Thanks.
