Practice Editing Here (Nov 15th in-class Wiki session work)

 * This is a place to practice clicking the "edit" button and practice adding references (via the citation button).

Task:


 * 1) Find a peer-reviewed journal article on PubMed. Practice inserting your citation in the above space using the "cite" tool
 * 2) Choose one "B-level" medical article on Wikipedia from the following list: https://wp1.openzim.org/#/project/Medicine/articles?quality=B-Class&importance=High-Class
 * 3) Practice editing live on Wikipedia by finding a typo in the text or improving the clarity/readability of a sentence by adjusting a few words in a sentence.

Group 9: Mycosis Fungoides People with mycosis fungoides can develop lesions

Assignment # 3- please post an anonymous copy here! (Mycosis Fungoides)
Proposed Change: *add sentence after “buttocks”*

These lesions can start as insignificant patches and may remain undiagnosed for up to a decade (Shinkai et al., 2022). Hypopigmented (when the skin is lighter than normal) lesions are less common but can be found in children, adolescents and/or dark-skinned individuals (DynaMed, 2021).

Rationale:

An expansion was needed on the clinical relevance of lesions. Additionally, it is beneficial to include how lesions are presented in different populations, making the article more representative and accessible for varying audiences.

Critique of Sources:

The textbook includes the most up to date information in a 2022 version with all its recent updates. The database has also been last updated in The textbook also discloses conflict of interest in each section, helping us mitigate bias in its clinical guidelines. One potential area of critique is noting that the research may be focused on a very niche population (i.e., WEIRD samples) thus limiting the generalizability of the guideline. However, I chose to include this source as it provides good clinical relevance of lesions and may still be applicable to the majority of those diagnosed with MF.

The DynaMed guideline was last updated in 2018 and is therefore considered a valid source as it is within 5 years of its publication. Additionally, the DynaMed guideline is regularly reviewed and verified using a GRADE scale.

What to post on the Wikipedia article talk page (part of assignment 3)

 * This will also be covered on Nov 15th in class. Your group should use the below template to share an outline of your proposed improvements (including your new wording and citations). Article talk pages are not places to share your assignment answers. The Wikipedia community will be more interested in viewing your exact article improvement suggestions including where you plan to improve the article (which section), what wording you suggest, and the exact citation (Note: all citations must meet WP:MEDRS)
 * You will not be able to paste citations directly from your sandbox to talk pages (unless you are interested in editing/learning Wiki-code in the "source editing" mode). We suggest re-adding your citations on the talk page manually (using the cite button and populating the citation by pasting in the DOI, website, or PMID). You will have to repeat this process yet again when you edit the actual article live.
