 * WP:MEDRS: should use secondary sources from last 10 years (best is 3 to 5 years)
 * WP:MEDMOS: important discussion on language usage
 * WP:MEDHOW: help on ref formatting

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject!


Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED). We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:


 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
 * Wikipedia is a kingdom full of a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Sydney Poore/FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 17:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Reviewing your students work
Have moved some of your students work to the talk page as a few things need to be improved: Not sure if this is the best way to communicate with you and your class. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:30, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) References go after the punctuation not before per the WP:MOS
 * 2) We only use secondary not primary sources per WP:MEDRS as references. Secondary sources include: review articles, position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies and major textbooks. A number of primary sources were used.
 * 3) The PMID or DOI is very useful to help verify sources from journals. See WP:MEDHOW for formating
 * 4) We use very few caps. Only the first word of a heading gets a cap. Word like "male", "female" "autism" and "spectrum" should all be in lowercase unless starting a sentence.
 * 5) Section heads that we fit topics into are here WP:MEDMOS. The difference in prevalence between males and females would be under epidemiology.
 * 6) Linking to the inside net at the university is not useful in references for anyone outside of that university and therefore not recommended.
 * Hi User:Doc James, Apologies for being MIA. Basically was hit with personal/work tsunami right when these edits were coming in. I'm coming back online today to clean up what I can with students & go through comments. Appreciate your engagement. Have gotten lots of good feedback about how to tighten up this assignment for the future, but still not sure it's realistic for such a big class at this intro level. Thanks.BrooklynProf (talk) 19:20, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes it takes a lot of work to successfully use Wikipedia in a classroom assignment. Students need a great deal of oversight to decrease the risk of anything bad happening. Also back from holidays and happy to chat further. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 02:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Pinging anyone
,, , , you are all listed (along with this professor, who is absent) at Education Program:Barnard College/Women and Health (Fall 2014). Are any of you actively editing, or following, or supervising the students in this course? There are problems from this class and its student edits everywhere, and the first step in addressing the problems would be to get one or some of you to engage the articles, and get your students to engage, by using article and user talk pages.

 * Will send you an email. Happy to connect by voice if you wish. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 02:54, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I have some concerns about the tone here and elsewhere, and fear we are not assuming good faith. I would like to make this a productive and succesful experience for all, and would also like to connect by voice. Megs (talk) 05:20, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Megs Sure I will email you and we can connect by google chat. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 05:24, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Comments

 * I will touch base with Megs. We will figure things out. I hear now is not the best time to address issues, so no worries. Hope to connect in the future. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 23:53, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Change in your user rights
Your Wikipedia account was previously granted a user right called "course instructor" by the Wiki Education Foundation. That right enabled you to create a course page through the EducationProgram MediaWiki extension. Starting in fall 2015, the Wiki Education Foundation has discontinued its use of this extension. Going forward, users should create course pages through the Wiki Education Foundation website. That application is more user-friendly, and any content is automatically mirrored to Wikipedia. To prevent confusion, we'll be removing your "course instructor" user right, as it is not needed with the new system. This is simply a notification of the technical change to your account. No action is needed from you at this time.

If you plan on teaching with Wikipedia for the fall 2015 term, please email me (helaine@undefinedwikiedu.org) for instructions how to create your next course page using our new system. --Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk), sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
