 * Not sure if salmonella is most common in chicken or not. This states lower rates for chick than pig http://books.google.fr/books?id=PKpNeKqmyAEC&pg=PA375&lpg=PA375&dq=the+most+common+source+of+salmonella+is+chicken&source=bl&ots=uRhpGRsN24&sig=yiX4Ljbpod9PJ7HCyzVfDuKKB7Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=lQtFUObLDYfh4QTgtoHYCw&ved=0CF0Q6AEwCA#v=snippet&q=salmonella&f=false


 * On ref said it is most common in eggs and milk but the ref was not very good. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 20:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I see. I was mostly unhappy with the wording, "meat, chicken, ..." because, a) meat is a very broad category and includes pork, beef, chicken, etc. and, b) it's actually ALL poultry, not just chicken (e.g. duck, turkey, game hen, etc.); basically any bird (meat). (("pig" is also inappropriate in this context). Ildiko Santana (talk) 20:43, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes you have the technical meaning of the terms and than you have the common meanings. Here in Canada we have people who say "I am a vegetarian" meaning technically that they do not eat meat, yet many still eat seafood which would be meat and some even eat chicken / poultry. Many when they say meat they mean red read. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:45, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Fell free to add your concerns here. I agree that we need to keep this in mind and the proposed template may not be a good idea. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 08:39, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

meta:Wikimedia Medicine
Thank you for your interest in meta:Wikimedia Medicine. We hope to create a non profit corporation to promote the aims of the Wikimedia Movement within the topic domain of medicine. This means we plan to promote the creation and release of "health care information in all languages" under an open license. This will be done primarily via speaking and collaborating with both individuals and organizations who share our goal. We are working on a number of collaborations already and are open to more ideas.

Magyar vitalapod
Archiváltam az eddigieket, és beállítottam, hogy a jövőben az egy hétnél régebbi üzeneteket a bot automatikusan archiválja. Ez az időtartam módosítható. Lji1942-t többen is megkértük most, hogy ne írjon többé neked.

A beállításaid között van egy bekapcsolható lehetőség, hogy automatikusan kapj egy e-mailt, ha valaki ráír a vitalapodra.

További jó munkát kívánok, és sajnálom a történteket.

Wiki Medicine
Hi I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page. Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders. Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:10, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * That's excellent! If you know any Magyar Wikipédia medical editors, would you please point them to m:Wikimedia_Medicine? If they add their name to the list, I'll contact them about membership when we're incorporated. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 16:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration. Cheers, Ocaasit &#124; c 20:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
 * Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
 * If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 1, June/July 2014 by CFCF, Doc James

sign up for monthly delivery



This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice. note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine

Spotlight - Simplified article translation

Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.

Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
 * WHO's list of Essential Medicines
 * Neglected tropical diseases
 * Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.

We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.

What's happening?

I've () taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
 * IEG grant

For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
 * Wikimania 2014

There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
 * Integration progress


 * Swedish Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that. Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
 * Dutch Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
 * Polish Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article. (This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
 * Arabic The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Feature – Ebola articles
During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!
 * Just some of our over 60 translations:


 * Xhosa
 * Northern Sotho
 * Zulu
 * Tsonga
 * Venda
 * Hausa
 * Igbo
 * Yoruba
 * Kinyarwanda
 * Swahili
 * Tigrinya

At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page! We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed! Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes. -- CFCF  🍌 (email) 13:09, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * New roles and guides!
 * New sign up page!
 * Style guides for translations
 * Some more stats
 * In July, 18 full article translations went live ( WP:RTT ), and an additional 6 simplified versions went live ( WP:RTTS )!
 * We have a number of new lead integrators into Dutch, Polish, Arabic and Bulgarian, with more to come in smaller languages! ( Find them here old sign up page )
 * We were mentioned in a Global Voices Online report by Subhashish Panigrahi at Doctors and translators are working together to bridge Wikipedia's medical language gap
 * New medical professionals have started, dedicated to working in Odiya and Kinyarwanda!
 * Further reading
 * Translators Without Borders

New sign-up page for the Medical Translation Project
Hey!

This is a friendly reminder that the sign-up page at the Medical Translation Project (previously Translation Task force) has been updated. This means everyone has to sign up again. Using the new page it will be easier for us to get into contact with you when there is work available. Please check out our progress pages now! There might be work there already for you.

We are also very proud to introduce new roles and guides which allows people to help who don't have medical knowledge too!
 * Here are ways you can help!
 * Community organization
 * We need involved Wikipedians to engage the community on the different Wikipedias, and to spread the word!


 * Assessing content
 * We need language knowledgeable Wikipedians (or not yet Wikipedians) who indicate on our progress tables which articles should and should not be translated!


 * Translating
 * We are always on the look-out for dedicated translators to work with our content, especially in smaller languages!


 * Integration
 * Translated articles need to be integrated into local Wikipedias. This process is done manually, and needs to take merge or replace older articles.


 * Template installation
 * For translations to be more useful templates and modules should be installed. We need people with the technical know-how who can help out!


 * Programming
 * Several of our processes are in need of simplification and many could occur automatically with bots.

Please use the sign up page, and thank you guys for all the work you've been doing. The translation project wouldn't be possible without you!

Translation Task Force
Dear Ildiko,

I'm sorry to bother you, but I don't have good news. I see that WP:Medicine/Translation Task Force has again come to life after a long time, and that a new article is ready for translation, but I'm writing you to ask you to remove me from the position that I have in this project, as well from the WP:Medicine/TTF. I decided I simply don't want to participate in the translation of medical articles for the Croatian Wikipedia.

The reason for this is very problematic situation on the Croatian Wikipedia. I already wrote you in September last year about the tumultuous events related to hr.wiki, about writings on the Croatian and world mass media on admin majority that forces right-wing bias and historical revisionism, about the Jimbo Wales' reaction, about the reaction of Croatia's minister of education Željko Jovanović who invited the Croatian students not to use hr.wiki because it is full of untruths, about an indictment of Croatian LGBT community, which stated its offendedness because of the published articles on the subject, etc. Something about it you can read in the article "Croatian Wikipedia" on the English Wikipedia.

After months of discussions and attempts to build a community on other grounds, the situation on hr.wiki has not even changed, and in some aspects it has worsened. Group of administrators that brought hr.wikipedia in such situation has solidified their positions and continued the same practice of administration and deployment of right-wing POV, only slightly less visible compared to before. The writing about historical revisionism was abandoned, but the biases and inaccuracies in other more relevant topics still continues to be entered and protected. What is essentially aggravated is the systematic harassment of every non-like-minded user and long block punishment even for the mildest criticism said in totally acceptable tone. Administrators themselves in addressing to their opponents violate a whole series of the Wikipedia rules (WP:harassment, WP:assume good faith, WP:etiquette...), while they penalize others for very small infractions or even invent an offense just to give a penalty. Just in the last month two longtime associates were given a two-year block, two very active contributors were given a two-month block, and one user was given a week block with the reasons that would be funny to hear them. One of these blocked users am I (thankfully only for two months). Four blocked users may not seem many in the context of en.wiki, but consider that hr.wiki has about 30-35 regular active contributors. My opinion is that the existing set of administrators wants to create an unbearable atmosphere for any dissent, whether on the worldview basis or in the personal relations.

I decided not to write articles in medicine on a project like this anymore and almost completely cease to write new articles. Medical articles attract a large number of readers (our translations were often among the 200 most read), and I do not want to be a "useful idiot" who will write and translate TWB articles which attract readers to a project that will in many other articles "serve" biases that are repulsive to me both to my worldview and because they offend certain groups of people.

Cooperation and the TWB team was fantastic, a very positive experience. I'm sorry that everything ended that way, but as you can see, the Croatian Wikipedia is another clear example of how one wonderful idea can turn into something bad because of the wrong people who lead it. If you want, send a message to Roberta F. of the Croatian WikiProject Medicine and ask her if she or someone else wants to take my position. If one day things change, it will be a great pleasure to join again this highly important initiative of translating medical articles.

Kind regards to you and entire team of translators.--Dean72 (talk) 19:08, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
