Talk:Public Health Information Network

It looks like there are still a few sections that are directly copied (in parenthesis). I know that the discussion page says that “CDC is a federal agency, so their text is not subject to copyright”, but we should probably change the following sections: “The PHIN Framework”, “Budgeting and Funding”, “Partnerships” and “Governance” before we "wrap up" the site. Does anyone think that they will have time today to take a section and reword it? I will volunteer to take the “Partnership” section.--Vtheel 17:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Group - I think that we really need to think about an outline while we are making changes to the structure of the page. I have started to make some changes, but there is still alot of stuff copied from the CDC page. Anything that has not been paraphrased was left in quotes so feel free to attack that portion (as well as anything else of course!)--Vtheel 18:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

This is all directly copied from the CDC page, but we will come back and fix it. Dawhitfield 21:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

That's fine - CDC is a federal agency, so their text is not subject to copyright. NawlinWiki 21:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

"Here’s your chance to achieve fame on the Internet. Your assignment is to research, write, and publish an entry in Wikipedia on PHIN—the Public Health Information Network. You will find some materials on the PHIN website, but I also expect you to conduct a literature search using the resources of UNC’s libraries. Your entry should follow the standard layout for Wikipedia articles, as well as listing online resources used in the development of the entry, and demonstrating your use of the discussion area to consider issues as you develop your article. Your efforts should provide an introduction and overview to the topic that a layperson can understand.

Wikipedia has resources embedded within it to help guide your efforts. You will find a host of editorial guides, but you may find the Guide to Layout particularly helpful.

You can choose one person to be the editor or work on the article cooperatively. Please let me know your Wikipedia user name(s) so I can track your progress.

The group assignment is due November 7th at 11.59 pm ET. " Dawhitfield 23:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

External links should go at the bottom (but above the category), so when we add things, let's add them in the proper place. Dawhitfield 03:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Good work Vtheel! Dawhitfield 16:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Group, good work so far, I added 2 section one on the PHIN vocabulary standards and specifications and also added the section on training for people that visit this topic and might be interested in knowing even more. Lmbarreto.

I added two additional components of PHIN. -Ben

Now that we have a long list of edits, it would probably be helpful if we all put edit summaries in the box beside where it says "Edit summary:" on the edit box. I think this would be easier than looking back through the page histories and seeing exactly what the change was. It's probably not as important to do this on the talk page, BUT I'm going to make sure I do it this time. The edit summaries appear by the edit log on the history page.

I did not put in an edit summary for my changes but they were in the section on preparedness. I plan to look more at these and offer some additional information. I also added a link to the PHIN concept diagram on the CDC website under Douglas's Governance section. --Cgoffena 14:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
