Caps
We use very few caps. To get in good practice removing a bunch from this page would be good. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:44, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

This is not a good start: there are a number of problems here.
 * First, students in this course should not be expecting others to post article commentary on user talk pages ... article development is discussed on article talk.
 * Second, we must take GREAT care in replicating DSM content, as the APA guards copyright strictly. I have seen edits from this course that appear to be plagiarism, and are not acceptable for DSM.   We must take extreme care in even paraphrasing from the DSM:  the APA has in the past and will guard their copyright here on Wikipedia.
 * Third, please have students review WP:MEDMOS and WP:MEDRS.
 * Fourth, please have students tag and follow talk pages of articles they are editing.
 * Fifth, the course instructions here are inadequate. A separate online tutorial for medical article editing was developed, and although I don't know where to find it just now, it should be covered.  It doesn't appear to have been covered, and your students don't seem to know MEDRS and MEDMOS.

Please do not move student edits to mainspace, as from what I have seen so far, they will be reverted. Also, please contact the Education Noticeboard about becoming familiar with the online tutorial for editing medical content. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 23:43, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Discussion at WikiProject Medicine
Hello! Thanks for your interest in Wikipedia. Members of WikiProject Medicine, a Wikipedia community where anyone can discuss health content on Wikipedia, is talking about this class at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine (permanent link). A concern expressed is speculation that the class is adding content to Wikipedia which is copied from the DSM, a work under copyright. Anyone who would like to participate in this conversation is welcome to comment there or to make comments here.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  17:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
