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.

Assignment # 3- please post an anonymous copy here !


* introduce relationship between SS and MF earlier* People with mycosis fungoides can also develop Sézary syndrome (SS). SS is a rare leukemic variant where cancerous lymphocytes found in mycosis fungoides are also found in the blood (leukemic disease). It is referred to as leukemic mycosis fungoides, Sézary syndrome preceded by mycosis fungoides, or secondary mycosis fungoides. However, not all forms of Sézary syndrome are an advanced form of mycosis fungoides.

Rationale: In the current article, they mention Sezary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, but do not explicitly introduce the relation of the two initially, which can be confusing for the reader. The relationship between the conditions is also unclear so we included more sentences describing it.

Critique of resources: I used the website by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), ​​ the U.S. government’s principal agency for cancer research. Medical experts, cancer researchers, and editors review the content before it is published to the website to ensure the material is evidence based and relevant to new literature. It was also last updated on August 27, 2021. The website also has a page dedicated to disclaimers, where they describe their lack of affiliation with any organization, commercial products, processes, or services, etc so they describe any conflicts of interests (none).

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.
