 * ✅. It was a very good candidate for a diagram of symptoms and signs - they were already conveniently listed, and spread over multiple organ systems. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:27, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

¡Hola Mikael! ¿Podrías ver si es correcto? ¿No he fallado en regla alguna? Soy un novato :) Gracias!

(autotranslate:) Hello Mikael! Can you see if is correct? I have not missed any rules? I am a novice :) Thanks! Olvidoo (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm can't understand Polish (which I guess is the language here), but I think it looks like a good work. Thank you Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:16, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Permission
Hello, my name is Alyssa and I am in a club at my school called TSA. In TSA, I am in an event called Medical Technology Issues. The whole point of Medical Technology Issues is to research a topic that has been affecting the medical society recently. The topic I chose was Stem Cell Research and I need a few pictures for this event. TSA requires us to have written permission to use the picture for our event so I was wondering if I can use the first picture off of this article that you wrote (link at the bottom). I would really appreciate it if you could take time out of your busy day to reply. Have a nice day! Thank-you. Link to article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stem_cell_treatments.svg Please reply with the written permission to my email address: alyssamckenna1999@gmail.com


 * I'm delighted that you find the image useful for your project I hope the email that you got suffices as permission. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:27, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of List of mnemonics for the cranial nerves for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of mnemonics for the cranial nerves is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/List of mnemonics for the cranial nerves & until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Lesion ( talk ) 08:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't contest this deletion proposal. A short section at Cranial_nerves is enough as it is. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:59, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Sorting created pages
I noticed on User:Mikael Häggström/Article creations you asked for a way to sort out redirects for the list of pages you've created.

Perhaps you could use [//tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/created.py this tool] to keep track of non-redirect pages you've made? For example, I came up with [//tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/created.py?name=Mikael+H%C3%A4ggstr%C3%B6m&server=enwiki&max=2000&startdate=&ns=&redirects=none this list] of pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't specify creation date, but thought maybe you'd still be interested.

Cheers. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 03:53, 15 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks It's much better than the previous list generator. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:06, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Uptodate
This is usually not the best source because 1) it changes 2) it is hard for many people to access, many major university libraries to do get access. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 09:28, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've now replaced the reference in Candidal vulvovaginitis. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Refs
Can you format refs the same as in the rest of the article? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:09, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll try to take notice. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:50, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It is super easy to do based on the PMID or DOI. It is described here WP:MEDHOW. Also we should generally be using secondary rather than primary sources. Hope all is well. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 08:17, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Seems like Jfd also commented below :-) Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 08:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, and I see you noticed the data added at Down_syndrome - I copied the references straight from Cell-free fetal DNA, but of course it's no excuse not to have a look at their formats. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:14, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Secondary sources (encore)
Hello Mikael, I believe I might have suggested in the past that you make every effort to support your edits with secondary sources, as clearly outlined in WP:MEDRS. You have now made additions to three articles (thrombosis, thrombophilia and postpartum period) based on the same primary source. I know it's from NEJM, but it remains a primary source and there may be substantial geographical variation that makes the data non-generalisable. 10.1056/NEJMoa1311485 was conducted in California - we know how for instance obesity (a significant risk factor for thrombosis) is more common in the USA than in many other countries. The issue of postpartum thrombosis is discussed in good quality secondary sources, so I trust it shouldn't be difficult to identify these and return the content in question (but perhaps without the non-generalisable numerical claims). JFW &#124; T@lk  15:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Very well, there are likely secondary sources out there for this subject. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

List of steroid abbreviations
Hi Mikael,

Have you seen List of steroid abbreviations? Is it correct? Is it complete? --Slashme (talk) 17:48, 16 March 2014 (UTC)


 * At a glance it looks accurate. Good work! I'm a bit too busy with this Wikiversity project at the moment for a comprehensive review of that article, but I may return at a later time. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:35, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Adrenergic_receptor#Categories
Hello,

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Public education is a much under recognized endeavor. My name is Gary. I am an MD/PhD candidate at Washington University in St Louis. I think I see a minor error in the adrenergic receptor flow chart for the alpha-2 adrenoreceptor. There is a mismatch in the logic in the parallel construction of the two down stream effectors. Either both should reflect the blocked signaling, "//" in the diagram, and read something like "Inhibition of Neurotransmitter Release" and "Smooth Muscle Relaxation", or both should represent the type of output "Neurotransmitter Release" and "Smooth Muscle Contraction" and allow the reader to interpret the effect of blocking, "//", the pathway. Currently it appears to be using both, and I believe that to be a typo.

Best, Ghammen (talk) 20:14, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Ghammen


 * Thank you for noticing this issue. I'll look into it soon. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:11, 30 March 2014 (UTC)


 * The error was not in the image per se, but in the image description at Adrenergic_receptor - alpha-2 adrenoreceptor activation mainly result in smooth muscle contraction (secondary to decreased levels of cAMP), as detailed in Autonomic nervous system, and not smooth muscle relaxation. I've corrected the image description. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:02, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Citation of Wikiversity articles as sources in articles
Please see the threads on WP:RSN [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Citation_of_Wikiversity_articles_as_sources_in_articles. ]and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine I note that you appear to be the author of all such articles so far cited to Wikiversity. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:52, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I made a reply at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. It's rather late now in Sweden but I'll soon return. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:12, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Promotion of your own Wikiversity articles as sources on Wikipedia
I note that yet again you are promoting Wikiversity material written by yourself as a source for Wikipedia - without making this clear in the discussions. Given that in my opinion this constitutes a conflict of interest, I should warn you that if I see a repeat of this, I shall raise the matter either at WP:COIN or possibly at WP:ANI. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:39, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe the transparency of wikis make it possible to contribute in this way despite the conflict of interest of being the researcher and author behind original research cited in Wikipedia entries. Surely it is worth a discussion, so you are welcome to bring it up at WP:COIN or possibly at WP:ANI if you feel it is necessary. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that there are journals indexed in pubmed that allow submissions. That's worth a thought. It looks like a better and easier way to go, to use a foundational existing system with its implements than to build from scratch. What do you think? COI might still be a problem if using your own articles. - Sidelight 12 Talk 13:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem lies in finding a journal that overtly allows submissions of works that are already published in Wikipedia. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:12, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi!
I am a fan of your contribution, especially on human biology organs. I look forward to studying Medicine one day. Could I have your contact? I am currently in 5th Year in UK, (just before college).

Thanks!

jerry.liu@abingdon.org.uk


 * Hi Jerry! (I assume the name from the email address)


 * Your message really brightened my day. Also, I truly hope you get to study Medicine. I first chose this path to directly help people in need, and later also realized that it is quite a geographically independent subject; politics and business, for example, vary a lot worldwide, but human bodies are basically the same. It is relatively easy to go anywhere in the world and find a job as a doctor, and any research you do can be of benefit to the entire human population (this also applies to Wikipedia contributions).


 * Best wishes,


 * Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!
Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.
 * Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology 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 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!
 * You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with   with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
 * You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
 * We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
 * Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
 * Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.
 * To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature):

Steroidogenesis diagram popular at Adrenal conference.
Hi Mikael,

I just heard from my old biochemistry colleagues that (y)our diagram was used in a number of presentations at the Adrenal conference. --Slashme (talk) 20:18, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It's nice to hear that they found it accurate enough to use Mikael Häggström (talk) 04:40, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Indeed! I like your Wikiversity citation suggestion. That certainly makes citations fit into the standard citation model more conveniently. And wait, we now have templates for smileys? How droll !
 * It's the most useful template in entire Wikipedia in my opinion Anyhow, I'm currently using my own gallery as a pilot project to assign one doi code for multiple images. I'll let you know if it works out, because I think it can be used for several other medical images in your gallery as well. After all, people should not always use images from Wikipedia, but when they do, they should at least have a proper citation format. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The trial to get multiple images assigned by a single doi was a success, so I've left a suggestion at your talk page to include some images of yours as well. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Help write something?
Since you've done some work on literally Everything, I was wondering if you could help build an article on the rather abstract concept of Something. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:24, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * It is a pleasure to finally see an article about something In the Something (disambiguation) I found the Existential quantification article which I thought deserved mentioning in the Something (concept) article, although frankly I found it a bit too complex to fully understand.

New numbers
Hi Mikael, sorry new numbers. Could you update please. You are welcome to email the original file and i will assist briangroenenstein@gmail.com. greetings Brian BrianGroen (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I appreciate some help with the update with such frequent updates. I can do it about twice per week, but if you want it update already now you can access the original file at Commons:File:2014 ebola virus epidemic in West Africa.svg. The steps to make an update are as follows:
 * Download the file
 * Open it in a vector graphics editor. If you use Inkscape, it goes as follows:
 * Open the file and double-click on the numbers to be change to edit them.
 * Click the File menu, then Export bitmap. I use "Export area:Page" and "pixels at 300dpi"
 * Click the upload page:, and upload the new image.
 * Preferably, also update the Commons:File:2014 ebola virus epidemic in West Africa.svg version as well.
 * I added this description to File:2014 Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa.png as well. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:45, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Now, seeing that the new numbers are 4 days ahead, I made an update. Mikael Häggström (talk) 08:57, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Will assist in future.. Kind regards BrianGroen (talk) 10:12, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Medical Translation Newsletter

Issue 2, Aug./Sept. 2014 by CFCF sign up for monthly delivery 

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
 * Healthcare information for all by 2015, a global campaign

Other issues
Look at this edit

You added "Pregnancies after gastric bypass surgery, as compared with matched control pregnancies in a Swedish study, were associated with lower risks of gestational diabetes (1.9% vs. 6.8, odds ratio 0.25), and babies being large for gestational age (8.6% vs. 22.4%, odds ratio 0.33). On the other hand, they were associated with a higher risk of babies being small for gestational age (15.6% vs. 7.6%, odds ratio 2.20). The risk of preterm birth was not significantly different (odds ratio of a 95% confidence interval of 0.92 to 1.78). The risk of stillbirth or neonatal death was 1.7% versus 0.7% (odds ratio, 2.39 with a 95% confidence interval 0.98 to 5.85)."

Ref says "Pregnancies after bariatric surgery, as compared with matched control pregnancies, were associated with lower risks of gestational diabetes (1.9% vs. 6.8%; odds ratio, 0.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13 to 0.47; P<0.001) and large-for-gestational-age infants (8.6% vs. 22.4%; odds ratio, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.44; P<0.001). In contrast, they were associated with a higher risk of small-for-gestational-age infants (15.6% vs. 7.6%; odds ratio, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.64 to 2.95; P<0.001) and shorter gestation (273.0 vs. 277.5 days; mean difference −4.5 days; 95% CI, −2.9 to −6.0; P<0.001), although the risk of preterm birth was not significantly different (10.0% vs. 7.5%; odds ratio, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.78; P=0.15). The risk of stillbirth or neonatal death was 1.7% versus 0.7% (odds ratio, 2.39; 95% CI, 0.98 to 5.85; P=0.06). There was no significant between-group difference in the frequency of congenital malformations"

nail matrix / nail bed quandary
I see that I have stumbled into making the opposite judgement to the one you made, about fingernail illustrations... The one that shows an extensive flat area of nail matrix, in the nail bed plane, (rather than just pointing at the root) seems more consistent with everything I am reading about the matrix. Can we find some truly authoritative anatomy illustrations to clarify this issue? And are you agreeable to leaving both illustrations in the nail matrix article until we can be sure which is right? -71.174.183.177 (talk) 21:53, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Respectfully, please note
I have marked the two large tables appearing in Pathogenic bacteria article, as being against fair copyright use. Please do not simply revert, but investigate this claim. Please see the fair use article, and consult with an Administrator, to ask if this shear volume of material from a single source can indeed be legally transferred into WIkipedia without violating fair use. It is not simply a matter of the material being reformatted, or moved around a bit. We cannot simply take 21 pages of already summarized / tabulated content of a copyrighted source textbook, and transfer it in to the encyclopedia to make it more readily available.

Copyright issues on the Pathogenic bacteria article
Thank you for all the hard work that you have put into the Pathogenic bacteria article. Unfortunately, much of it is a copyright infringement because is directly quoted from a google book. Not to worry! I am re-wording and re-formatting in my best attempts to resolve this and almost all the content you have worked so hard to put into the article will probably remain intact. I will only need to reword the content. I will certainly retain the references that you have added and I have added even more myself. I am not critical of anything that you have done with this article, I am only trying to get rid of the copyright problems. Feel free to go to the article after I am done with my heavy editing and reword things better to your liking. I only suggest that you not copy and past tables or contents from a book directly into an article to create the appearance of violating copyrights. Best Regards,
 *  Bfpage &#124;leave a message 13:40, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I've been working on using additional references in order to make it composite of multiple texts, but it would probably take a year before it's done, so I am very grateful that you take on this copyvio task right now. Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:48, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I am so relieved that you approve of what I've been doing. I have had the unfortunate experience of trying to help on a featured article and found that I had inadvertently deeply insulted the major contributor, to my dismay.  It was taken as criticism instead of collaborative editing...oh well.  I also hope that the editing in small increments allows you the opportunity to easily revert my edits if you have found that I have substantially changed the meaning (unintentional, I assure you).  I don't understand the comments and templates about there not being enough sources; the bibliography seems quite robust. It seems that we work in similar areas.  Here are some of my more recently created articles:


 * List of microbiota species of the lower reproductive tract of women
 * Tubo-ovarian abscess
 * Vaginal microbiota in pregnancy
 * List of bacterial vaginosis microbiota
 * Tubal factor infertility
 * ...and a myriad of separate articles on specific pathogenic bacteria! I am quite optimistic about our editing together. The very Best of Regards,

 * QuackGuru, I can definitely do one for the Electronic cigarette. It will take a rather long time, however, since that article, as well as Safety of electronic cigarettes, do not present any straightforward list of the adverse effects. If such a list would be added to any of those articles, I could have a symptoms image ready in a couple of days. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Oh, I see you had that list in the linked page. I'll have it ready within a couple of days then. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:57, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The reason I think this is a better image to use is because "Awareness and usage of electronic cigarettes has exponentially increased during the last few years, especially among young people and women in some countries." If possible I would like both images to have eyes. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 22:22, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

QuackGuru, the requested images are now added at Electronic cigarette and Safety of electronic cigarettes, although there were a rather limited number of involved organs so far. Perhaps there will be evidence of involvement of more organs when additional reviews are made. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:45, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the word vaping is a bit too large for File:Adverse effects of vaping (raster).png. I recommend it be reduced in size slightly. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 20:28, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does look better with having that part smaller. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:32, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making it smaller. Since you made the wording smaller the wording vaping is a bit too much to the left. I think it can be moved to the right a bit. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 16:41, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I've aligned it now so that it is in line with the text above at the left side. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:17, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That works. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 17:22, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I recommend the part "Adverse effects of" be in bold like the word vaping is in bold. It seems the word vaping is more bold or larger than the other image. I prefer the bold wording and size of the wording be the same for both images. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 17:40, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * We can expand the adverse effects of vaping image by using two more refs. "The immediate effects of e-cigarettes after 5 minutes of use on pulmonary function resulted in considerable increases in resistance to lung airflow.[2] Short-term physiological effects include increases in blood pressure and heart rate.[19]" See Safety_of_electronic_cigarettes.
 * I suggest adding Lungs --> - Increased respiratory resistance - Increased airway resistance
 * I suggest adding Heart --> - Chest pain - Increased blood pressure - Increased heart rate
 * "The reported events include nausea, vomiting, mouth and airway irritation, chest pain, and palpitations.59" Also see table 2. I added the additional sources. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 22:20, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

The File:Adverse effects of vaping (raster).png is expanded now. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow! QuackGuru  ( talk ) 19:30, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I just noticed the wording Adverse effects of vaping in bold is a bit too large compared to the wording of the other images.
 * The wording Stomach is more to the right while the other text such as Mouth and airways and  Heart and circulation begins at the left side. I think Stomach can be moved to the left like the other text. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 20:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeed, there will be some unused pixels in the image in either case. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:49, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I noticed you aligned and fixed the image but in the Wikipedia article it shows the unaligned older version. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 18:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It usually updates after any edit to the Wikipedia page. The References section is usually a good place to find any possible minor edits if you want to see the result now. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:04, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Here are some suggestions for a new image using the table above. Some of the suggestions can be combined with the information from.

Title suggestions: Possible side effects of nicotine or Possible adverse effects of nicotine

See here for a lot more information on side effects under the heading Health Effects of Nicotine.

I recommend a drawing of a pregnant women with fetus in the womb and with the pregnant women holding the hand of a child. There are obviously side effects on a women's brain, the fetus, and children. I suggest creating a new image to replace the current nicotine table at Electronic cigarette. Hopefully a new image can incorporate the current information with the additional information from the side effects of nicotine image. QuackGuru ( talk ) 01:59, 1 August 2015 (UTC)


 * My currently hospital unfortunately doesn't provide access to the statement of the Forum of International Respiratory Societies. What I want to know is: Do the potential effects therein really refer to nicotine by any route of administration (and not only from the relatively little evidence from nicotine by e-cigarettes)? As far as I know, there is more evidence from for example nicotine patches. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The information I cited below is specifically about nicotine. The sources should be about the health effects about nicotine rather than for a particular product. If the sources for nicotine patches have detailed information about nicotine they can be used. If they are about nicotine patches in general that could be a SYN violation to claim it is about specifically nicotine. I haven't seen the sources so I do no know if they can be used for specific claims about nicotine. Since there is additional evidence from other sources they can be included to create a single image with all the current evidence from all the different sources. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 16:44, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Health Effects of Nicotine

"The harm-reduction premise ignores the deleterious effects of nicotine (29). Nicotine is highly addictive (30) and affects many body cells, mediators, and metabolic pathways (31). It has long been known to adversely affect children, not only in utero but also during postnatal development through adolescence. It may even cause adult disease. There is evidence that in utero exposure influences the later occurrence of conditions such as impaired fertility, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, neurobehavioral defects, and respiratory dysfunction (32). Nicotine has significant cardiovascular effects (33, 34) and may play a major role in the development of coronary artery disease (35), atherosclerosis (36), and aortic aneurysms (37). Nicotine affects neuroregulation and structural changes in the brain and lung that could disturb a wide variety of reflexes and responses; these changes could increase vulnerability to hypoxia (38).

Nicotine has been associated with the development of peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal cancer (39), may promote tumor angiogenesis (40), and may alter neurologic development (41). Nicotine addiction may cause deleterious effects in women’s brains by inhibiting estrogen signaling, which in turn may make the brain more susceptible to ischemia (42). There are many reports of the deleterious effect of nicotine on bones in both animal models and humans (43) and of the adverse effect of nicotine on chromosomes (“genotoxic effect”) of fetal cells (44)." QuackGuru  ( talk ) 16:44, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * QuackGuru, I've updated the Side effects of nicotine image now. However, "Neuroregulation and structural changes in the brain and lung" and "Chromosomes (genotoxic effect) of fetal cells" were too vague and not practically significant for inclusion. I found no proper location for "Tumor angiogenesis", and "neurologic growth" does not seem directly like an adverse effect. On the other hand, I could possibly include "Reports of slight harmful effects on bones in both animal models and humans" if it there was a specification such as causing osteoporosis or increased fracture risk. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:31, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The image is better than I hoped. For bone health I think we can leave it out. The size would have to be increased to include more information. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 20:11, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I would like to start a journal patterned after "Wikiversity Journal of Medicine"
I would like to start an online journal on Wikiversity. I have studied the templates you use on your pages, and think I can extract and modify most of the Wikitext myself. I probably won't begin work on this for several weeks. For more information, see Special:Permalink/699028781. Let me know if there is anything I should know. --Guy vandegrift (talk) 20:49, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Fait accompli! It's still under construction, but I "stole" your wikitext and published my first article, unrefereed, because editors cannot referee their own submissions. I will make ammends regarding attribution if I have broken any rules. See First Journal of Science.  I called it "first" because I hope others create their own electronic journals on Wikiversity.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 04:08, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Good work, Guy vandegrift! I am actually hoping that Wikijournal will expand into several journals in various studies, and science is definitely an important one.
 * I've created a subpage at Wikiversity Journal for advice about creating a journal: Wikiversity Journal/Starting a journal. I hope it helps.
 * As I understand, the content will largely consist of material from various Wikimedia projects, and I see you've thought about the resulting authorship conundrum. I'd suggest that you add something like "authors of the Wikipedia article on "Timeline of quantum mechanics" (attributed at article history)."
 * I am willing to join an editorial board if you intend to have one. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I would love to have collaboration on the editorial board. One difference between our journals is that the articles will reside in mainspace, not a subspace of the journal, which requires replacing v:Template:List entry to v:Template:List entry/1.  --Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:38, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I added myself at First Journal of Science/Editorial board, as well as described you as creator. If you want to join join the editorial board of wijoumed, I think you would be very welcome.
 * I also added the acquisition of a domain name at the Starting a journal page. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:19, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Updates: I will ask the dean if he will approve funding the domain name acquisition. In anticipation of that conversation I have begun to wear a red bowtie with black suspenders in order to look like the editor of an important journal (I also need to request travel money so as to attend physics conferences). I also created a draft of a request we might make to Wikipedia at User:Guy vandegrift/Request to Wikipedia. There is no rush on any of this. Thank you so much for getting involved. I have a news section at First Journal of Science/About.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 13:22, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * In the worst case scenario, you may need to pay the $10 out of your own pocket for the domain name Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:16, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I can handle that worst case scenario. About the use of usernames instead of real names: I think real names is best for WJM and user names is best of FJS, do you agree?  I also wonder about that registration for domain name acquiation; will they allow?--Guy vandegrift (talk) 21:52, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it's a good idea to try out a different approach regarding usernames. If it works well, it might be something that WJM can learn from too. For domain name, godaddy.com has worked fine for me. All you need is basically the domain name (perhaps firstjournalofscience.org or some form of abbreviation of it), and then you set it to redirect to https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/First_Journal_of_Science.

Maxin
Hi Mikael, I was about to create a disambiguation page for Maxin, and found that you had it redirect to Nebulizer, with a template forming 'This is a redirect from or to the trade name of a drug from or to the International Nonproprietary Name (INN). For more information follow the bold category link.' However, at present, there is no mention of "Maxin" at the nebulizer article. Two articles for people surnamed Maxin exist. Because I am not familiar with the trade name for the nebulizer, I wonder if you think it would be worthwhile for Maxin, in some context, to appear at the nebulizer article. I was going to change the redir to something like this:


 * Maxin is a trade name for a kind of nebulizer and a surname. It may refer to:


 * Ernest Maxin (born 1923), British television producer and director
 * Fritz Maxin (1885–1960), German politician and lay preacher

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 10:32, 23 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Hamamelis,

Request to modify File:Hematopoiesis_(human)_diagram.png to include MEP and (platelets)
Hey Mikael Häggström,

I noticed you were the last person to update the. I don't have experience in manipulating these images, but would you be able to add in the following items to (this incredibly neat!) diagram:


 * Add the [Megakaryocyte%E2%80%93erythroid_progenitor_cell] (which will come after the CMP but before the megakaryoblast and proerythroblast - however, it is not connected to the myeloblast).Also see
 * Add Platelets (in brackets) next to thromobycytes, as they are a fairly common AKA for thromobocytes, in fact the article on Wikipedia is on platelets.

If you are unable to do this, would you be able to suggest me to someone who can? I feel like the addition of this would be useful to this diagram. I am not sure if there are other things missing from this diagram as I have only come across the above from my research. Thank you!Calaka (talk) 04:47, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Calaka!
 * I've added "Platelets" (and "Red blood cells") to the image. For the progenitor cell, however, I fount the linked image too schematic in comparison to the detail of the cells in this diagram. Do you know any better image of how the cell looks like? Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:06, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey Mikael, thank you so much for the changes. It is much appreciated. Regarding the MEP, I had a brief look and I unfortunately didn't find any good images of the quality as depicted in the image. I guess for now we can leave it be and we can re look at this situation in the future. Thanks again for the addition. Calaka (talk) 06:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, just let me know if you come by a good image of the progenitor cell. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:24, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey Mikael, I found this article, that has a picture of a 'promegakaryoblast' but not sure if it is the same as the megakaryocyte erythroid progenitor cell or it is descendent of it. Not sure if you have knowledge of between the two cell types? Let me know if you are able to access the link. Kind regards, Calaka (talk) 00:14, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Calaka. I couldn't access the link, but in any case, promegakaryoblast sounds like it's already within the thrombocyte line. Best regards. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:10, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey Mikael, fair enough, though I did manage to find another link: of the same article (for future reference). Thanks again.Calaka (talk) 08:03, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Re-presenting tabular data that appears in a publication, or reproducing a graphic/chart that already appears in a other source, these are not WP:OR. Creating new visual representations of published data likely rises to the level of violating WP:OR—because interpretation is most often required in the production of such new unrefereed, unpublished, visual representations, and because (unlike tabular data), graphical representation of data is almost impossible to verify to a source, even were you to take the care to label every data point with its raw data as it appears in the source. Stick close to the publication form of data. Re-analysis/re-interpretation is WP:OR.  Leprof 7272 (talk) 01:06, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't see how graphical representation of data would be hard to verify - you look at the corresponding value at the axes, and see if it corresponds to the numbers in the source. I think it is acceptable to create a diagram of income and fertility for an article on exactly that topic, if there is no appropriate image from an external source with a compatible license. After all, every image created from data comes with some degree of WP:ORIGINALSYN, but if we just copied diagrams from external sources we would instead have WP:Copyright violations. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:13, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That would indeed be beneficial. I'd appreciate if you could send it to me (you can use ), and I'll then update the chart. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:58, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your image collection: Ultrasonography and related images are data
Regarding which, are Wikiproject Medicine and other users aware that you are generating original content?

Content taken from published sources to create Wikipedia images, that is adapted by relabeling, redrawing, etc., is acceptable if you cite the source when the image is used. In citing the source, such as in the cases of your relabeling the images from the 1918 Gray's, a positive contribution is made to the encyclopedia—improved all the more if in relabeling you take a more modern text, and make sure the nomenclature used 100-years ago is fully, completely the same as in use now (and then, you provide that modern corroborating source).

On the other hand, data-rich content that you generate yourself (for as any anatomist, spectroscopist, cell biologist, or radiologist will tell you, images are data)—or that is generated in your or a colleague's laboratory (rather than being adapted from a published, peer-reviewed source)—and thereafter is interpreted and selected for presentation by you: these images, whether from the imaging laboratory, like the problematic ultrasounds, or otherwise, these images are, in my opinion, entirely unacceptable at Wikipedia, as their distribution amounts to prohibited WP:Original research. Given that such WP:OR is seemingly widespread in certain types of your images, and that errors have been found in that part of your work, post hoc (see below), one has to question any image in your collection that is not sourced to a reliable, scholarly source, per WP:VERIFY. [All the more, for the visual data images, considering American standards and expectations regarding the documentation required to assure permissions and medical privacy standards are met (e.g., of the individuals whose sonograms appear).]

The current limited peer review process in use here (that you have applied), and its results in the case of your ultrasound images, casts a further shadow over your collection: To the contrary, your set of images: Even so, at least 2 interpretive/scientific mistakes were discovered after gallery creation and image dissemination. Viz., in the two image cases that were withdrawn, the images nevertheless were uploaded and available for dissemination until their errors were discovered. The point of WP:OR and WP:VERIFY is to minimise the distribution of inaccurate material, that would be widespread were these policies were not in force.
 * 2-3 independent reviewers are typically involved in refereed publication of visual data by journals, and that occurs after preliminary screening by masthead editorial teams at the publication (e.g., most manuscripts submitted to NPG journals are never sent out for review, as they are judged as not being within scope or up to journal standards).
 * received no pre-review by scholarly individuals in this organization, for baseline acceptability;
 * was reviewed at one point in time (that is now past, meaning that unreviewed images may again be a part of the gallery);
 * was not independently reviewed, insofar as the individual reviewing is apparently a colleague at your institution;
 * was reviewed by a single individual whose scholarly credentials are not in evidence;

Given these observations, in my view, one has to question any image in your collection that is not sourced to a reliable, scholarly source, per WP:VERIFY. As stated above, such self-published data images interpreted only by WP editors are, in my opinion, entirely unacceptable at Wikipedia, as their distribution amounts to prohibited WP:Original research.

I suggest here for discussion, the following two proposals:
 * You commit to state the scholarly, published source of any image you derive and adapt from another publication, asking as well that if the source is out-of-date, and you check content during your adaptation, that you also state the scholarly source against which your adaptation is checked; and
 * You commit to removing any image of yours that violates WP:OR, that is, any image that is your original data and research, whether by data gathering, or by its interpretation.

The fact of the matter is that the rules you are skirting are very commonly ignored at wikipedia, with the result being that there are many cases at WP that violate basic, widely accepted principles of doing honest scholarly work. But you raise this to a new level, by elevating your Medical gallery of Mikael Häggström 2014 to be a collection to a component of a purported peer-reviewed journal of medicine (WJoM). You are therefore setting a precedent, and newly proposed precedents should be closely scrutinised.

I suggest on close scrutiny, that your work violates WP:OR, in part, and when misused, further violates WP:VERIFY. Wikipedia is called on to use content (data and interpretations) from published, peer-reviewed sources of the highest quality. Your gallery does not rise to this level, not even with your colleagues review. We are to be generating images drawn from scholars, from scholarly sources, and not publishing our own data and research (and its interpretation) here.

Even were you to publish your images, they would not be entirely acceptable here, as you would be called to pick the best available images to make an encyclopedic point, and (speaking as a published and publishing scholar), our personally created journal images are most often not best for these encyclopedia articles.

Le Prof Leprof 7272 (discuss) 23:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree with you that Wikiversity is not a WP:MEDRS. However, I disagree that pictures by medical imaging (including ultrasonographies, X-rays and MRI images) that are not from WP:MEDRS would be unacceptable in Wikipedia. Text and diagrams can be created with own words and designs, using MEDRS as references, but X-rays etc must be copies from the original sources. Very few pictures by medical imaging on external pages have compatible licenses. Journals often charge between $1,500 and $3,000 for making restricted works open access (PLOS examples), so the cost of permissions to make works even copyleft to be compatible with Wikipedia can be expected to be of similar amount. As a result, almost all pictures by medical imaging that are used in Wikipedia originate from Wikipedia users (as can be seen by analyzing Category:Bone fractures for example) and are thus WP:OR, and would hence have to be removed if it was a requirement to be from MEDRS. Therefore, your suggestion has much broader implications than the ultrasonographies I have added to Wikipedia, so if you still insist on such a requirement, I suggest you bring it to WT:WikiProject Medicine.

 * , your mastery of editing on WikiUniversity with only four edits may indicate your unfamiliarity with this project. I like to assume good faith, but your familiarity with policy and guidelines with only four edits in the Project Wikiuniversity it is easy for me to ignore anything you have written about and his amazing contributions to the encyclopedia. Best Regards,
 * Barbara (WVS) (talk) 00:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Barbara, for your encouraging note Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:27, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I, also, cannot see any sense to what User:Leprof 7272 is saying.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 16:16, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * — I should apologise for not immediately responding, but the earlier set of three responses were so baldly superficial, and free of thought, and untied to WP policy and guideline (not so much Mr Häggström's as the two additional voices that felt the need to create the insubstantial consensus)—that I felt no point at the time to try to reply.
 * But another matter here has brought me back, and so I do reply.
 * Barbara, you argue, amazingly, insultingly, given the ease and connectedness of the wiki-universe, from embarrassingly limited evidence. Had you simply run my numbers at the English Wikipedia, you would have seen that your "four edits" comment was simply ridiculous, and unapologetically self- and status quo-serving. Moreover, note, apart from the hard record of my WP edits, these represent perhaps 20% of all my edits—I make a majority of my edits while not logged in, because I do not care, for the most part, to enter into discussions here. Life is too short. Finally, I am a published university Professor with far more real world scientific research and educational experience than most here—as you might have inferred, had you read my sufficiently informative, if intentionally vague User page. (It is vague, because I experienced harassment because of WP, after being outed here with regard to my University, by a disgruntled fellow WP editor.)
 * With regard to the earlier point, I will simply state, again: Your images, and images at WP in general, are being used as an "end around", to circumvent WP:OR and WP:VERIFY policies, setting up an alternative pathway of "just trust me" content at Wikipedia. While you may be acting within current accepted practice at WP, the practice is wrong, simply wrong, vis-a-vis the spirit of the underlying policies and guidelines of the place.
 * So, in choosing, the three of you, to satisfy the need of this young university editor for self-expression via his scientific image generation (rather than wait until they appear in a published journal, and he has the stature to negotiate with his publisher the right to place them in the public domain), instead, we publish them without the support of an authoritative associated publication. In doing so, we open the door a bit further to the import of unpublished, unsourced, non-peer-reviewed content.
 * So be it. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the trio of you are responsible for many kilobytes of unpublished content.
 * Worse, you punt on the opportunity to be a part of the solution, instead, extending the problem into new, ever more sophisticated arenas. The problem is not when trainees at good universities present unpublished images. The problem is the principles involved—that it opens the door to anyone here to do the same, in any arena (and we fight this daily in chemistry articles); moreover, that it defies the very basis, the very foundation of the place, that our reliability is based on use of published information of the highest quality available.
 * When the estimable Mr Häggström grows disinterested or too busy to keep an eye on his work, it is the accepted policies and practices that will (or in this case, fail) to maintain encyclopedic quality. And the contribution of this trio of you, to fail to engage the substantive deep discussion, to instead respond superficially, and thus to extend the exception and allow the continued use of unpublished images not associated with any scholarly venue—its simply a shame. On you, and on the place. Nothing more from me, but I will, at every juncture, continue to paste in my objection, whenever a student queries them to me, whenever I happen upon them.
 * This course of denying the information content of images, and thereby excepting them from citation standards is nonsense, and will eventually either change, or contribute to the failure of this place. Le Prof 73.210.155.96 (talk) 03:10, 17 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Dear Le Prof,
 * I agree Wikipedia and its reliability are not perfect, but neither are traditional journals. They either put your work behind a pay-wall or charge you around a thousand dollars to make your work open access, and even then it remains copyrighted, which impairs its usage. Wikipedia, on the other hand, is the 6th most visited site in the world and it is estimated that 50% to 70% of physicians use it as a source of health care information, and those are major reasons why I'll continue contributing to it.
 * Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:43, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Greetings Leprof. You know I could have just been wrong in questioning your four edits. I've been wrong before and probably will be in the future. I regret that I insulted you. I find the discussion above a bit confusing and hard to follow but I agree with the concept that images need to based on reliable sources. I can't reconstruct what I was thinking last year but appreciate your 'calling me out' on it. Best Regards,
 * Barbara (WVS) ✐   ✉  13:25, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Effects of e-cigarette and e-liquid nicotine poisoning

 * Nicotine poisoning:
 * Nicotine poisoning related to e-cigarettes include ingestion, inhalation, or absorption via the skin or eyes.
 * E-cigarette calls to US poison control centers:
 * Minor, moderate, and serious adverse effects involved children and adults. Minor effects correlated with e-cigarette liquid poisoning were tachycardia, tremor, chest pain and hypertension. More serious effects were bradycardia, hypotension, nausea, respiratory paralysis, atrial fibrillation and dyspnea. The exact correlation is not fully known between these effects and e-cigarettes. More than 50% of e-cigarette calls to US poison control centers were related to young children.
 * The most frequent adverse effects to e-cigarettes and e-liquid reported to US poison control centers:
 * Ingestion exposure resulted in vomiting, nausea, drowsy, tachycardia, or agitation.
 * Inhalation/nasal exposure resulted in nausea, vomiting, dizziness, agitation, or headache.
 * Ocular exposure resulted in eye irritation or pain, red eye or conjunctivitis, blurred vision, headache, or corneal abrasion.
 * Multiple routes of exposure resulted in eye irritation or pain, vomiting, red eye or conjunctivitis, nausea, or cough.
 * Dermal exposure resulted in nausea, dizziness, vomiting, headache, or tachycardia.
 * Most e-cigarette calls were a minor effect. Severe outcomes were more than 2.5 times more frequent in children exposed to e-cigarettes and nicotine e-liquid than with traditional cigarettes.
 * Accidental poisoning can result from using undiluted concentrated nicotine when mistakenly used as prepared e-liquids.
 * Death to child after accidental nicotine poisoning
 * Death after intentional ingestion or injection of e-liquid nicotine
 * Between January 1, 2016 and April 30, 2016, the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) reported 623 exposures related to e-liquid. The AAPCC recorded 3,783 reported "exposure" incidents relating to liquid nicotine in 2014. The number decreased to 3,067 in 2015.

A separate image for e-cigarette and e-liquid nicotine poisoning is a wonderful idea. QuackGuru ( talk ) 18:23, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree. It should be ready by the weekend. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:24, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I added some more information that might be useful. I recommend an image or an outline of a child be used for the new nicotine poisoning image. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 06:20, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Good! I don't have a fitting child image for these types of diagrams, so it will be using the female template for now. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * ✅. I added it to Nicotine_poisoning. In addition, it seems you have gathered lots of additional information which would probably fit into the prose of that section. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:03, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am working on the safety of e-cigs article. I am not sure what is best for the Nicotine poisoning article. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 19:04, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I added some info to the Nicotine poisoning article. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 22:30, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Please see: "Table 4 Most common health effect in e-cigarette calls to U.S. poison centers by exposure route, September 1, 2010–December 31, 2014" "Corneal abrasion 6 (2.0)" The content is verified. QuackGuru ( talk ) 19:50, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I reinserted the term. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:03, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Deaths by age group fixed
Hi Mikael Häggström,

I've uploaded Commons:File:Deaths by age group fixed.png on Commons, derived from your excel file linked from Commons:File:Deaths by age group.png, because there appeared to be an error in the right-most four cause clusters in the source excel file: the spreadsheet cell formulae were shifted one to the right resulting in an incorrect chart (mainly affecting the causes motor vehicle accidents and firearms). I've also uploaded a few versions of the fixed spreadsheet to my mediafire shared folder in case other charts are needed. Cheers. -84user (talk) 09:43, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Activity related to mapping the human brain?
Mikael, Are you aware of any efforts or projects related to the human brain? Particularly of interest would be projects attempting to describe brain functional networks.

I am located in Tampere, Finland, so it is nice to connect with people in the Nordic countries.

Wikijorunal
I'm sorry but I want to make sure. What is the first step to do if I want to publish a focused review in Wikijournal of Medicine? If you can, please answear on my talk on polish Wikipedia website: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Kubaj98 (New section=Dodaj temat) Kubaj98 (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see you've found interest in publishing in WikiJournal of Medicine! I made a reply there. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:29, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Article
Good morning I've just started to write an focused review for journal. But I'm doing it the very first time (excluding wikipedia articles) - can you please take a look at it (right now it's a beggining of the beggining's beggining, but I mean mainly style of this text - if it is suitable). Project is here: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Kubaj98/sandbox

Greeting Kubaj98 (talk) 10:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC)


 * The format is all well. As long as it's in wiki code, it's easy to integrate into the journal, and then into other Wikimedia projects. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:51, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Peer review finished
Peer review finished at the discussion pages of the articles: The Hippocampus and Acute gastrointestinal bleeding from a chronic cause: a teaching case report. regards, --Ashashyou (talk) 11:06, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Fantastic, Ashashyou! These are lots of useful aspects for improving the articles. I will make sure the corresponding authors are notified about this. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:36, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Mikael Häggström - a first query re the latest review - just to check whether you are in agreement with all the proposals. They would make the page different from the usual style of Wikipedia entries in the use of Fig 1. Fig 2. etc. Rendering all the images as black and white would see the removal of those that rely on colour for their meaning. Haven't had much time yet to look at rest but shall do - first impression was a welcome enthusiasm! Thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 08:10, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Iztwoz. There are indeed many comments on the layout. I will check with the board which of them we will recommend, and I will get back to you afterwards. As for the coloring, the images should not be rendered black and white, but I think the point is that they should optimally be marked or properly described in the caption so their information is preserved even if you would print the article in black and white. Also, the "The Wiki journal of Medicine need to state clearly the target readers of its article" seems to be a matter for the editorial board. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:32, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Another idea
Good morning I've decided to stop working on article about DA closure, I've changed subject and started writing about something different. May you take a look at it: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Kubaj98/sandbox

I would be thankful Greetings Kubaj98 (talk) 11:33, 1 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello Kubaj98. The layout of the article is all right (but the last section header has a typo). Regarding the content, I don't directly see any review source, so any use of content for Wikipedia is currently very limited, yet I think a publication like this has a good chance in WikiJournal of Medicine in its own right. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:51, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your fast opinion, but can you explain me what is the difference (i mean that "in its own right"). Kubaj98 (talk) 19:29, 1 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Preferably, the articles published in WikiJournal of Medicine should contain useful information that can be used for other Wikimedia Projects, mainly Wikipedia. "In its own right", I mean that the article may not have that property, but is still a notable work. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:51, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Hippocampus article
Good job, the article provides an added value to scientific literature. It is fit for publishing. I have added few comments on the update. They are suggestions for further improvements that should not interfere with publishing the article. Good luck.--Ashashyou (talk) 00:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ashashyou! I've notified the author about the suggestions. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:45, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for lack of communication. I must admit that I didn't take in Ashashyou's last comment here - I thought that more work was being asked for. I did add some of the recommended files wasn't sure about some and felt as well not enough room in the relevant sections. I meant to ask you about sources  added some where clear - do those files in Commons need the uploader's mention? I agree that suggestions made could be introduced in the future. Otherwise OK as far as I'm concerned.   A general query - if changes made to the WP page would these need to be made to journal page?  Thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 07:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry too, Iztwoz, for somewhat unclear guidelines in this matter. In this case we basically have one version of the article in Wikipedia - Hippocampus - and one version in Wikiversity - Wikiversity:Draft:WikiJournal of Medicine/The Hippocampus. I've copied your Wikipedia article edits to Wikiversity this time (but in the future, we will probably just have a short summary in Wikiversity until the peer review process is finished). And yes, WikiJournal guidelines include that files from commons should have a mention of the creator/uploader of the image. I showed the preferable formatting for figure 5 in the article: The_Hippocampus#Functions. Note that this guidelines does not apply to the Wikipedia version of the article, so it should only be done in the Wikiversity version. Otherwise, I'd like you to make all further changes in both versions. After the article is published in WikiJournal, you can always edit the Wikipedia version, but you should then only make technical edits or spelling error corrections to the WikiJournal version. If you want to make changes in the meaning of the text therein, you should suggest them at the talk page, since they may require a new peer review before the WikiJournal article can be updated. Mikael Häggström (talk) 08:19, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * A late thanks for your comments and a current thanks for the publishing news! Best --Iztwoz (talk) 09:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Just to say I've only just looked at your galleries and am very impressed. And many thanks for sharing your travel photos and I don't know how you managed to capture the fireflies. Thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 09:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Scintillating Scotoma animation
Just wanted to comment that I found your animations interesting and useful -- though nowhere nearly as extreme as the two experiences with SS that I've had. I thought the first time was a detached retina until it magically went back to normal after about 20 minutes; the second time I at least was able to recognize it as the same problem. Quite terrifying, and very glad to finally know what it is. Your animations are what made it clear that this was the correct diagnosis of the events. Oddly, the several ophthalmologists I've asked about them over the years never came up with the answer. 60.248.2.163 (talk) 09:30, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree the first time is the scariest. My first aura was a homonymous hemianopsia so I thought I had a stroke! Anyhow, I'm glad you found the animations useful Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:50, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

See also's
Hello Mikael - have just noticed your removal of some see also items with an edit note to describe same in text - the thing is once they've been removed they are not going to be noticed again. I often just unload items to See also's as I come across them - then any editor can make use of them at some time. Is this not the right way to go about things? Best --Iztwoz (talk) 16:20, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose you had good reasons to include them in the See also section, but I didn't see why they were relevant to the topic. Including them in the article body in prose would make readers better understand their relationship. Yet, I understand i should probably have mentioned my removals on the talk page so they can be found more easily in the future. I did so now: Talk:Basal ganglia disease. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:34, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I hadn't added these i just noticed that you removed them just saying to describe them - i think other(s) you removed said they were unclear. thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 17:39, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Open bite


The article Open bite has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * I've created a new Wikipedia page called Open Bite Malocclusion. The word open bite is a slang term and should properly be addressed as Open Bite Malocclusion. In addition, this article was previously redirected to the article "Malocclusion" which did not have much information about open bite. Thus I request the reviewer to check out the new page Open Bite Malocclusion and allow that page to be the primary article for open bite and delete this page.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Globalorthodontist (talk) 18:27, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't find any page titled Open bite malocclusion. Have you really created one? Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I think what they meant was they were about to submit their draft for review: User:Globalorthodontist/Open bite malocclusion. I removed the PROD which was not appropriate in these circumstances. Drchriswilliams (talk) 18:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Drchriswilliams, for sorting things out! I have not read that new article in any detail, but it seems reasonable to redirect open bite to it. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that should wait until the draft article is in the main space. Also it will just involve changing the target of the redirect, it would not involved deletion of the current target (the malocclusion article). It looks like didn't realise this- they may still need some help in understanding how to get this done. Drchriswilliams (talk) 19:05, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for sorting this out! I guess we can always re-direct open bite article to the new page, but my article was accepted in the mainspace! Thank you --Globalorthodontist (talk) 19:07, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of OA Foundation
A tag has been placed on OA Foundation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer. (See section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Crime in Maine
Hello Mikael Häggström, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Crime in Maine to a proposed deletion tag. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. ~ GB fan 11:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I reviewed it and I thought first of WP:A3 but with the little summary about capital punishment, it really didn't apply. So I thought maybe WP:A10, but it wasn't recently created.  So I think the only option is to PROD it.  ~ GB fan 11:04, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

human body
Hello Mikael, I'm new to wikipedia. I tried to contact you on FB with no success. I'm interested in using your human body pictures for a project, there might be commercial use of it. Is that fine for you ? Would you have other pictures of these two characters, close up on eyes, chin, arms, hands, etc ? Thanks. B.

Please clarify sentence in intro to Coronary CT Calcium Scan
Thank you for your recent edits to Coronary CT Calcium Scan. Can you please clarify/improve the following sentence: "In addition, it provides additional prognostic information to other cardiovascular risk markers."

Wikijournal of Medicine
Hi! I created Microlissencephaly and have been expanding it for a while. I'm thinking of submitting it to the journal for the next issue. I'd like to know your opinion about the article and whether I can submit it. --Brainist (talk) 04:11, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello Brainist. I appreciate the improvements you've done to the article! I would like to see a mention of the incidence of the condition. Otherwise, I think it is appropriately covered and referenced, so with an addition or comment about the incidence I think you can submit it. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:42, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your feedback. I have created a new section about epidemiology and still expanding the article. Maybe I will submit it within a few weeks. Are there any possibilities in the near future for the journal to be indexed in PubMed? -Brainist (talk) 01:29, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I look forward to your submission then! PubMed indexing may be a few years away, since they require at least 40 published articles, and we currently have only 26. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:51, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I noticed that the citations of the journal are confined only to medical galleries. I think if any researcher wants to cite something from a text published in WJM, he just cites the original reference. That is the reason why there are no citations for text articles. This makes WJM articles no different from Wikipedia articles. I think PubMed indexing is very important to attract editors and attracting editor is, in turn, essential for indexing, it's a vicious circle. -Brainist (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. For now, I think the impact of the article in Wikipedia is the most attractive feature of the journal, but the prospect of being PubMed indexed once the journal reaches the criteria may already play a role. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:16, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Dear Mikael Häggström, I have submitted the article today to the journal by email. I'm looking forward to your comments and feedback. Brainist (talk) 09:28, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Brainist! I will look into it shortly. Mikael Häggström (talk) 09:42, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bitcoin.com


A tag has been placed on Bitcoin.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation pages
Hello, Mikael Häggström. When you moved Washout to a new title and then redirected the old title to a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:


 * When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.


 * Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Washout" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:03, 5 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello R'n'B. I'm aware of this practice. However, as of now, the what-links-here of "Washout" has not yet been updated to exclude incoming results from all articles with Template:Road types, which contained a link to Washout before I updated it. I think it might take a couple of days for the system to update, and before then it's rather tedious to identify the rest. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:50, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

m:Grants:Project/ScienceSource is the new ContentMine proposal: please take a look.

Wikidata as Hub
One way of looking at Wikidata relates it to the semantic web concept, around for about as long as Wikipedia, and realised in dozens of distributed Web institutions. It sees Wikidata as supplying central, encyclopedic coverage of linked structured data, and looks ahead to greater support for "federated queries" that draw together information from all parts of the emerging network of websites. Another perspective might be likened to a photographic negative of that one: Wikidata as an already-functioning Web hub. Over half of its properties are identifiers on other websites. These are Wikidata's "external links", to use Wikipedia terminology: one type for the DOI of a publication, another for the VIAF page of an author, with thousands more such. Wikidata links out to sites that are not nominally part of the semantic web, effectively drawing them into a larger system. The crosswalk possibilities of the systematic construction of these links was covered in Issue 8.

External links speaks of them as kept "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article." Here Wikidata finds more of a function. On viaf.org one can type a VIAF author identifier into the search box, and find the author page. The Wikidata Resolver tool, these days including Open Street Map, Scholia etc., allows this kind of lookup. The hub tool by takes a major step further, allowing both lookup and crosswalk to be encoded in a single URL.

Milestone for mix'n'match
Around the time in February when Wikidata clicked past item Q50000000, another milestone was reached: the mix'n'match tool uploaded its 1000th dataset. Concisely defined by its author,, it works "to match entries in external catalogs to Wikidata". The total number of entries is now well into eight figures, and more are constantly being added: a couple of new catalogs each day is normal.

Since the end of 2013, mix'n'match has gradually come to play a significant part in adding statements to Wikidata. Particularly in areas with the flavour of digital humanities, but datasets can of course be about practically anything. There is a catalog on skyscrapers, and two on spiders.

These days mix'n'match can be used in numerous modes, from the relaxed gamified click through a catalog looking for matches, with prompts, to the fantastically useful and often demanding search across all catalogs. I'll type that again: you can search 1000+ datasets from the simple box at the top right. The drop-down menu top left offers "creation candidates", Magnus's personal favourite. Mix'n'match/Manual for more.

For the Wikidatan, a key point is that these matches, however carried out, add statements to Wikidata if, and naturally only if, there is a Wikidata property associated with the catalog. For everyone, however, the hands-on experience of deciding of what is a good match is an education, in a scholarly area, biographical catalogs being particularly fraught. Underpinning recent rapid progress is an open infrastructure for scraping and uploading.

Congratulations to Magnus, our data Stakhanovite!

Comparison_of_wiki_hosting_services
I watch this page on Wikipedia, and a recent edit by someone I know (You!) caused me to take another look at that list. As you probably recall, my interest in Miraheze was inspired by the need for private wikis where students can write. I noticed that Ourproject.org might have that option. Do you know anything about this wiki? I have noticed that they don't seem to support images, for example.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 14:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Guy vandegrift! I've had had brief look at one of the wikis at Ourproject.org, and I noticed the pages load considerably slower than on Miraheze, but it might have been temporary. Otherwise I don't know anything more about it than what is written at Ourproject.org. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * FYI, more than approximately 15 students working on private wikis at seems to overload my Miraheze student wikis. I haven't tried it for several months, so perhaps they have upgraded their hardware (which I understand they rent).--Guy vandegrift (talk) 19:04, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that piece of information, Guy vandegrift! As you may have noticed I'm planning to create a wiki that is essentially a non-profit and ad-free version of Radiopaedia. Perhaps this would still work best by a paid provider. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:39, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Inquiry from a Public Relations Representative for Biogen on Assessing Wikipedia Article
Hello Mikael,

My name is Matt Nemet and I am a Public Relations professional at GCI Health, an agency specializing in healthcare. We’re reaching out on behalf of our clients at Biogen to potentially update outdated information found on the Wikipedia page for its multiple sclerosis treatment candidate, opicinumab.

We’re reaching out to you because we know Wikipedia users depend on active, qualified editors for accurate and supported articles. We felt that given your previous efforts editing Wikipedia pages such as denosumab, you might be interested in reviewing this page through the lens of updating older information.

Acute stroke imaging moved to draftspace
--Bejnar (talk) 02:26, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Acute stroke imaging, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Guy (Help!) 09:54, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
 * One particular concern here is that the article is basically a copy-paste from an e-book from SM Group, a predatory publisher. Given your access to high quality imaging content, I would expect at the very least a broader range of sources, and ideally I would not expect to see any content drawn from predatory publishers.

When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

Jag läste din artikel https://theconversation.com/why-getting-medical-information-from-wikipedia-isnt-always-a-bad-idea-59708 och ville bara uppmärksamma dig på att vi på Uppsala universitet utbildar cirka 80 medicindoktorander per år i hur man bidrar till Wikipedia. Du har kanske redan sett några av doktoranderna aktiva på samma sidor som du, t.ex. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CT_scan&action=history. --Olle Terenius (UU) (talk) 16:19, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hej! Trevligt att veta att ni håller sådan utbildning, och ser fram emot att se ytterligare sådana förbättringar av Wikipedias sidor! Mikael Häggström (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Used your awesome image on a record cover
Is here, with credit at the bottom of the page: https://biptunia.com/?p=5014 and also credited in the PDF lyric sheet.

If you want a larger image of it, click that image. If you want a full size 1700 x 1700 of it, let me know.

Album is rolling out to iTunes, Amazon, etc over the next few days.

Also making a t-shirt of it.

Is also on the front page of that site, at least until our next record drops.

Thank you for your service!


 * Awesome! I wish you all the best with the record! Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:29, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Upphovsrätt
Hej!

För några dagar sedan (12 mars) skickade jag ett mejl angående upphovsrätt till adressen permissions-sv@wikimedia.org. Anledningen var att jag laddat upp två bilder på Wikipedia. Den 19 mars fick jag ett påpekande från signaturen Yann att jag laddat upp filer som utgör upphovsrättsintrång och bilderna togs bort från Wikipedia.

Jag förstår att jag har gjort ett misstag och behöver korrigera följande ärenden: 2019031210006547 och 2019031210006556.

Vem ska jag kontakta? Jag skickade ett mail tidigare idag till adressen permissions-sv@wikimedia.org men det kanske finns någon bättre adress?

Tacksam för hjälp.

Vänliga hälsningar Bertil Hammarkrans

Backgrounds to svg images
Mikael, quick question. We're making extensive use of your svg images for VideoWiki, but when added to videos the background is black. I've been saving the svg with a white background in photoshop, and resaving as a new png. Is there an easier method or a version without a transparent background? See (5sec in) as an example. The source image was File:Symptoms of Malaria.png. Thanks for any guidance. Ian Furst (talk) 19:47, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ian Furst, I'm glad you're finding my images useful! Indeed, the background in these images is generally transparent, and I've seen myself how it is sometimes rendered as black in some programs. An easier method of avoiding this issue may be to save it as jpg (which does not support transparent backgrounds), and hopefully it will then work in your video software without further conversion. Mikael Häggström (talk) 04:16, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you Mikael. I've uploaded several back to commons, and added "_whitebackground" to the filename. Btw, thank you for all of the wonderful work.  It's very helpful Ian Furst (talk) 10:38, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ian Furst, I recommend that you simply replace my images with the white background ones, at least for png images. I sometimes do updates and corrections, and then it's easier to just update one version, and I think a white background is generally beneficial. If you replace svg images, just make sure that they are still in vector format. Mikael Häggström (talk) 13:57, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Will do. I have trouble getting svg images from Photoshop onto commons (it's throws an href file that commons blocks) but I can upload as png no problem. Ian Furst (talk) 13:59, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:29, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI, the problem is now solved on our end. All transparent backgrounds will show white. Thanks again for the help Ian Furst (talk) 22:31, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Animated svg's
Mikael, I'm hoping you could give me some advice and direction. We'd like to create an animated svg file, with text in a blank state, for videos. It would look something like this, but using your. Since we use your symptoms slides on almost every Videowiki, and it's 15sec of a static picture, it would be good to add some animations without having to recreate it for every disease. My thought was that if we could create something like the blank-state animated svg I showed, for various symptoms that would pop-up depending on the need it would be more dynamic. Once we get the technique correct (and bugs out), we can recruit others to do it for other templated animated graphics. For instance, right now we talk about the initial symptoms of dengue as fever, headache, abdominal pain and muscle/joint pains. It's shown with your Dengue fever symptoms svg image. We could also use the same for the critical phase, or recovery. What if the code for the graphic looked more like a template with each attribute 'pointing' to a specific area (when left blank, nothing shows). I've found the category for animated svgs in Commons, and Codepen. If you have any direction, I appreciate it. Ian Furst (talk) 22:46, 13 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello Ian Furst. I am not familiar with that kind of animation, neither such coding for annotations. Anyways, I think it sounds like a good idea, and I approve that you try it on the body images. Mikael Häggström (talk) 04:45, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Final product can be found here with instructions on customization here. Thanks again. Ian Furst (talk) 00:24, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

 * As I understand, all the effects are on the human brain. Is it supposed to specify which parts of the brain may be correlated with the symptoms? Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:59, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * It may be best to avoid trying to specify which part of the brain is correlated with each symptom. If you have time you can create a very detailed diagram.
 * If it is too detailed it could be too time-consuming to create a diagram. I tried to create a list format. See list format. <b style="color: #e34234;">QuackGuru</b> ( talk ) 20:05, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Might you have a fix for the doi?
Greetings User:Mikael Häggström! I have been working hard on rewriting/updating/polishing deep vein thrombosis. I recently cited your article in this section of DVT, under the picture of yours where the image uses the word subsartorial. I copied and pasted the DOI from the article. However, the link that formed from the DOI does not go to your article. Might you be able to apply a fix there? For what it's worth, I tried to track down your publication from the website of the journal, but that doesn't work either. (There's an internal server error when I click on "Anatomy" at that page.) I bring this to your attention because I imagine you might want to correspond with the journal about this as it could negatively impact how many people can see your publication. Best wishes. Biosthmors (talk) 00:55, 29 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for noticing this issue, Biosthmors. I see the PDF link to the article is working, but indeed the doi is not. I have emailed the journal team about this issue, and I hope they will fix it soon. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:36, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

 * You're welcome, by the way, for noticing that issue with the doi/website. In regards to Inkscape and checking translations online, my technical knowledge is limited.

Interview?
Hi, I run a small newsletter for WikiProject Tree of Life and its various subprojects. Obviously with the coronavirus outbreak there's been an increased interest in viruses, bats, and pangolins. I noticed you've been very active at Coronavirus and related articles. Mind if I ask you a few questions? Just looking for some short quotes to work into a story about coronavirus-related activity on Wikipedia. Enwebb (talk) 15:53, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Enwebb. You're welcome to send me the questions, and I'll see if I can answer them. Mikael Häggström (talk) 15:54, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * What have been the biggest challenges in editing a rapidly evolving current event?
 * The multiple names of the disease, virus and outbreak.
 * Articles like Coronavirus are now extended protected, while many other related articles are semi-protected. What kinds of disruptive editing have been happening during the outbreak?
 * I haven't looked into the disruptive edits.
 * Has your daily time spent on Wikipedia increased as a result of the outbreak?
 * No.
 * More generally, as a physician, how do you view Wikipedia's role in providing medical content?
 * It is a quick way to find relatively reliable information for both physicians and patients. It is usually comprehensive, albeit I see websites for specific purposes are often superior when available. For example, drug databases are more complete..

In the article Inguinal canal in APril last year you added an explanatory footnote about the diameter of the canal: The text reads " In males, its diameter is normally 2 cm (±1 cm in standard deviation) at the deep inguinal ring" and the footnote you added "The diameter has been estimated to be ±2.2cm ±1.08cm in Africans, and 2.1 cm 0.41 ±0.58cm in Europeans." The correspondent and I must admit me too, can't make sense of this footnote, can you clarify it? Neither of us understand a third figure in the second example; "2.1 cm ±0.58cm" would make sense but we don't get the 0.41cm and we assume that the first should read "2.2cm ±1.08cm". Thanks Nthep (talk) 14:28, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for spotting the error, Nthep. It should read "2.1 cm ±0.41cm in Europeans". I've corrected it in the article. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:37, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Traffic law in the United States
The term "traffic code" implies just that -- a single code of traffic rules. The title "traffic code in the United States" implies that there is one code for the country. That makes zero sense because as the article explains, traffic law in the United States is mostly a matter of state law and it varies like crazy from state to state.

Go read up on Law of the United States and in particular, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Speed limits in the United States gives some idea of the mind-boggling extent of interstate diversity (one could write an article just as long about almost every major traffic rule). The Uniform Vehicle Code never helped much because state legislatures didn't adopt it as a single package. They often adopted only one or two sections at a time (not in the sequence or numbering recommended by the UVC) and often rewrote the recommended text, which defeats the entire point of a uniform act. --Coolcaesar (talk) 02:05, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Work-up (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

Missing link of your diagram's excel file
Dear Mr. Häggström,

I really enjoyed your vizualization of the Prediction interval, graphed by the standard score on the z-axis:. I would like to take a look at the Excel file used to create that diagram, which you have linked here.

Could you reupload it again somewhere? (I'll also add it to the web archive, so that it won't 404 agian)

Question to image: Chest X-ray in influenza and Haemophilus influenzae - annotated.jpg
Dear Mr. Häggström, it seems obvious to me, but since some collegues want to reuse the above mentioned image in a scientific manner, we want to make sure to get it right: Was the thorax x-ray taken in a.p. method on a patient lying in bed? On wikipedia, the "AP" is only readable when scrolling down to the summary and then checking for "other versions", so it raised some eyebrows in my team wether we could use this as a source-information. I would be very happy if you could lighten up things for us on this topic. Warm regards, 95.91.247.88 (talk) 10:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC) R.Kniep

Speedy deletion nomination of Sematary


A tag has been placed on Sematary, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion.

(See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Use of 'subsartorial'
Hello Mikael - would you reconsider your changes from superficial femoral vein to 'subsartorial' this term is not at all generally recognised. The general usage has been recommended to just use femoral vein as per the long standing misunderstandings generated by the use of superficial to a deep vein. Its use on many files as with 'subsartorial artery' is confusing and unhelpful as a search for these terms is fruitless. Kind regards --Iztwoz (talk) 11:31, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Iztwoz. Thank you for the review, and those are valid points, but overall I think this usage is justified. It is true that I have cited a work where I am the author (Subsartorial Vessels as Replacement Names for Superficial Femoral Vessels - I can email it to you if the online pdf is temporarily unavailable), but as it is in a peer reviewed journal, is is acceptable use as per Identifying and using self-published works. Pragmatically, I do think the subsartorial name should be mentioned first, as the superficial one is discouraged. Simply calling the entire segment femoral is practically not enough, since clinicians often need to specify the location, such as in thrombosis where there is a lower risk in the subsartorial vein compared to the common femoral vein (more of this in my article). Adding it myself in Wikipedia may be viewed as a promotion of medical practice (conflict of interest), but the usage is reflected in multiple peer reviewed articles:

As per WP:COIM, this potential conflict of interest "does not mean that material from a conflicted source or editor should necessarily be dismissed" and I think readers of those listed articles should be able to find the item in Wikipedia. I might have created some undue weight in the relatively long description of this segment compared to the common femoral one, but I have now amended this by expanding the common femoral segments in the Femoral vein and Femoral artery articles. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:02, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Mikael - since the renaming was your suggestion the other uses cited (all post 2019) may have taken their lead from the page. If it was an already established use it wouldn't have needed suggesting renaming? The use is stated to be only sometimes referred to - so why change to a widely unaccepted term? The part on diagrams widely altered refers to the femoral vein which is the current terminology. Usage is of the femoral continuing as the common femoral - superficial femoral is not used in major textbooks post 2005 if not before (it does still appear in various papers) and is actively discouraged. The 'newer' terminology is that of the consensus papers presented in 2001 and 2004. Since the use of superficial is redundant and to be discouraged where is the need for this newer renaming? Iztwoz (talk) 13:02, 11 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Iztwoz, we can not assume that other publications have taken after the Wikipedia pages. I have supported this naming to fellow physicians and scholars, and I have made presentations at conferences, in a manner that you would expect any scholar to present their work even before Wikipedia existed. The need for an alternative name for the femoral artery/vein segment is justified by the same reasons as for the common femoral artery/vein - mainly that it is clinically important to be able to specify the segment, particularly in angiology and vascular surgery, even if it is not currently listed in Terminologia Anatomica. The discouragement of using superficial is not because of any redundancy, but to avoid patients being erroneously denied anticoagulant therapy for thrombosis in this segment (because the treating physicians may believe it is a superficial vein thrombosis when it is actually a deep vein thrombosis). Despite repeated recommendations against usage of the term superficial femoral vein, it does still appear in modern textbooks:
 * Schrope B. Surgical and interventional ultrasound. New York: McGraw-Hill Education Medical; 2014. Page 186.
 * Tibbs DJ. Varicose Veins and Related Disorders. Burlington: Elsevier Science; 2013. Page 466.
 * Lefebvre C. Atlas of cardiovascular emergencies. New York: McGraw-Hill; 2015. Page 51 and 68.
 * Moore EE, Feliciano DV, Mattox KL, Demetriades D, Inaba K. Trauma. New York: McGraw Hill Education; 2017. Page 852.
 * Furthermore, they still often use it without caution in regard to its potential consequences of patients being denied anticoagulant therapy, particularly in books related to vascular surgery and sonography. It reflects the continuing need to specify the more distal segment of the fermoral artery/vein, and it is not realistic to expect busy clinicians to use more lengthy descriptions such as "the segment of the femoral vein distal to the branching point of the deep femoral vein". Wikipedia is in the real world - what we write here has real consequences - and if we do not present the alternative to superficial femoral artery/vein, then there will be an increased risk of people dying from untreated deep vein thrombosis. Yet, I have now clarified in the femoral artery and femoral vein that these terms are not listed in Terminologia Anatomica, and the diagrams still mention the femoral artery and the femoral vein as specified in that reference work. Mikael Häggström (talk) 19:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Mikael Häggström The whole point is that since the consensus papers, the use of the term superficial femoral vein has been dropped and therefore needs no alternative. The changes were arrived at by consensus of two authorities more than twenty years ago. These institutes of phlebology and angiology did not indicate the need for any further 'segmentation'.. "Clinically, one of the most significant changes in the terminology for the deep system was to change the name of the superficial femoral vein to simply the femoral vein".--Iztwoz (talk) 21:54, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The term "femoral vein" encompasses both what is called the "common femoral vein" and the more distal segment, and the prevalent usages of the terms "common femoral vein" and "superficial femoral vein" demonstrate the continued need for further segmentation of the femoral vein. This is also demonstrated in recent requests to add the term common femoral vein to the standard classification (see A plea for extension of the anatomical nomenclature: Vessels.). I have made an entry for this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine to get some more views on this matter. Mikael Häggström (talk) 22:09, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * As per the consensus papers the femoral vein is the continuation of the popliteal vein into the thigh; after the tributaries drain into this it becomes the common femoral vein. And the common femoral vein is to be incorporated into the next TA version.--Iztwoz (talk) 22:26, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Tuberous sclerosis
Thanks for the image you added. I noticed you had removed some "disputed" text. Do you dispute it or are you just reacting to the citation needed template? A whole bunch of them got added on 30 December 2020 and I never got round to looking up the sources. I think there were added more because the paragraphs lacked obvious citations than that the text was disputed. For example, this could be used for the comment about AMLs. I do mean to get round to updating the citations, just keep forgetting/putting it off. And I'm rather busy at the moment IRL so it isn't top priority. -- Colin°Talk 09:02, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, the addition of the "citation needed" tag makes something disputed unless it is obviously like WP:The sky is blue (which rarely applies to medical articles), and should be deleted after some time if nobody adds a reference. I appreciate your willingness to add referenced material to the article, and indeed WP:There is no deadline. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:44, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I think the language of policy uses "disputed" for genuine cases where an editor truly believes the claim is not true or unlikely to be true, rather than for run-of-the-mill "I think this is the sort of thing that needs a citation, but it might well be absolutely fine, I just can't be arsed to google it" cn tagging. The point is, if I genuinely thought you disputed this text, I'd ask you why you think it is wrong/misleading/outdated/etc and whether any citation I found was good enough to counter your doubts or negativity about the text. But if it is just a cn needs a citation, then I'd find a citation and job done. -- Colin°Talk 22:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You're right, "disputed" seems to not be the proper word for the deleted text, and yes, if you find a citation for it it should be fine. Mikael Häggström (talk) 23:02, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Artificial Intelligence, Brian Christian, The Alignment Problem
I noticed you changed a few page numbers in artificial intelligence. I think we may be working from different editions of Christian's book. I'm going to check the citation and make sure it's my edition, and then change the page numbers back. I don't plan on changing your rewrites. (Just letting you know in case you're watching the page).

Blood test
Would it be possible to list all of the blood tests contained in your famous image in a simple vertical text list? This would be extremely helpful I have tried to extract all of the data using software but it looks like I would have to do it by hand. If you happen to have the entire exhaustive text list that would be amazing 2A04:4A43:8A1F:F845:6D07:6A23:A6F5:7184 (talk) 15:56, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't have a more concise list than the tables at Reference ranges for blood tests. I manually added each box to the diagram. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:16, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
