Hello
Hello Nell. Sorry I was unable to be at the training session, however I should be online most of today and will be happy to help if I can. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if I can be of assistance. Rockpock e  t  11:07, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Invitation
''If you are interested in medicine-related themes, you may want to check out the Medicine Portal. If you are interested in contributing more to medicine-related articles, you may want to join WikiProject Medicine (sign up here).''

WT:WikiProject Medicine or its quieter subpage, WT:HEMONC, is a good place to get help, ask questions, or share your opinions with other people who are interested in medicine-related articles. Feel free to stop by and say hello. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Adding links
Rather than just adding links it would be better if you worked to improve the content on Wikipedia. Please see WP:MEDRS for referencing requirements. Also it is best not to use sources you are associated with (ie published). Thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:04, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Doc James - I understand your concerns, I am also helping to improve content and this is my main aim of course! The links I've added are to very comprehensive webpages which contain really useful information (please have look if you haven't already), so I thought these additions would be helpful to people using Wikipedia.

 * Yes have looked at the content. Just as long as we keep in mind that WP is not a collection of link per WP:NOT Happy editing  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:19, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Doc, this user has done some very useful copy-editing over and above the addition of external links. She has definitely "worked to improve the content". Anti-spam efforts are always appreciated, but PN's contributions should be welcomed. The Cancer Research UK links are neutral sources of further information from an expert source.

 * One of the goals is for WP:External links to contain information that the article can't (say, because of copyrights) or shouldn't (say, because it's not precisely encyclopedic). If it merely contains information that the article should, but currently doesn't, contain, then it's often best to use high-quality web resources as a WP:Reliable source.  We might replace them with a good textbook or systematic review some day, but between now and then, they're often useful sources for expanding the article.  A decent description is more useful to our readers than a bare link, because relatively few of them bother clicking on any external links.
 * (One of the UK cancer charities went on something of a spamming binge a while back, so it's possible that editors are just a little trigger happy.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:35, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Some of us get concerned when we see a group of editors adding the exact same link to dozens of articles without a consensus first. Thus my note here. These links may be deemed as good additions just could use some further discussion first to gain consensus. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 00:18, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
