Hi

I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.

Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your interest in updating the ketogenic diet article has prompted me to have another look on PubMed. It seems the journal authors have been busy since I last had a proper look. Since it has been three years since it was last overhauled, I've started compiling a list of new sources to examine. See Talk:Ketogenic diet/NewSources. Given my glacial editing speed and lack of free time, this could take a while. Are you interested in helping? What is your journal access like? Colin°^Talk 21:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My journal access couldn't be better (I'm at the National Library of Medicine), but I also have the free time problem. What I could do is myself up to watch out for any trial (I know, unlikely, but if one were to emerge, would want to know about it) and good reviews, and if you had a section for those, I'd post those.

Hi Hildabast,

In response to your WT:MED query, the easiest and most flexible way I know of building references from PMID without using the automated Cite PMID template is to use the Cite journal template via a form which appears as a pop-up within the default Wikipedia interface.

1. In the default editing window, locate drop-down Templates menu at the left of the main toolbar: to visualize it, you may may need to click on Advanced and then Cite in the main toolbar.
2. From the drop-down Templates menu, select cite journal, which will evoke the form as a pop-up.
3. Enter your PMID (or a doi) in the pop-up form and click on the magnifying glass icon alongside. This will fill in the form and allow you to do further editing such as adding the url, PMCID, doi etc (for certain actions, such as entering the PMCID you'll need to click on Show/hide extra fields).
4. You can preview/parse what you're doing (as well as checking the details of the reference, I like to clean up a few details in the automated text, such as a superfluous period that gets inserted at the end of the article title).
5. When you're ready, just click Insert and you're done.

I know there are ways of editing the output of the Cite PMID template, but like you I haven't found it particularly intuitive. Hope that helps, —81.157.7.7 (talk) 16:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - yes, that's what I do, and people sometimes go in afterwards and add the PMID to the reference and then the work was all for naught, because the URL was somewhere else (like the author's university website, or a different PubMed database than PubMed or PMC) and it's lost - or at least, it seems to me it always want to use the PMID as the link and ignores the other link, but I'll try again. Hildabast (talk) 17:24, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that - out of my depth there, I'm afraid. —81.157.7.7 (talk) 18:18, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at this diff: [1]. For me at least the link from the title to the pdf of the full text worked fine both with [2] and without [3] the PMID. Of course, the PMID link itself (ie PMID 2501523) will always redirect to the PubMed entry because that's what these PMID links do. 81.157.7.7 (talk) 07:39, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - just wondering why this [.nice.org.uk/glandular-fever] doesn't seem to turn up here [6] (cf [7]) Am I missing something?

Also, when I click the Systematic reviews filter button I get the patient-oriented A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia. Is that perhaps because ADAM takes his information from systematic reviews?
86.161.251.139 (talk) 10:26, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

G'day! We don't have the Clinical Knowledge Summaries at PubMed Health, although we're thinking about it. They're not systematic reviews though - we're in the process of going the health technology assessment agencies getting their systematic reviews, not everything that they do. We've been concentrating on building up the systematic review collection, and consumer information, so we still don't have a lot of clinician information. We digitise the NICE clinical practice guidelines because they conduct systematic reviews to do those, so it's the systematic review that we're including. A.D.A.M. is the medical encyclopaedia content we currently use - it's separate from the systematic review content (although unfortunately at the moment if you use a Boolean operator in the search absolutely everything comes up in the centre - which is on my to do list to see about changing). About what we do for encyclopaedia content - that pre-dated my arrival. "Watch this space", basically. 98.233.38.200 (talk) 12:33, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! The first question was a bit of a dumb one... I asked because, although not strictly speaking a systematic review, the clinical information contained in the Clinical Knowledge Summary appears to have been based on NICE assessment [.nice.org.uk/glandular-fever#!supportingevidence] of literature gathered with a somewhat systematic search strategy [.nice.org.uk/glandular-fever#!searchstrategyforpublication]—a factor which led me to weight it highly (as an "ideal source") when trying to provide pertinent descriptive information here.

Hi, Hildabast,

All the sources I have been consulting recently for edits to IQ classification and related articles strongly agree that terminology has changed, and what was formerly known as Mental retardation is now called Intellectual disability. The ICD 10 system of terminology appears to be the only one that hasn't fully made the switch, but the reliable secondary sources aren't waiting, and DSM-5 has made the switch. The National Library of Medicine medical subject heading has made the switch also. So I think that the two existing articles need to be merged. I have been reading up on the Wikipedia documentation about how to merge two articles with long edit histories, and that is not easy. I am willing to do all the work, but first of all I will gather the source citations to post to the talk pages of both articles. I hope you will look on as I do the work to make I sure merge the articles correctly. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 02:20, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hilda.

I'd like to upgrade all of our coverage of the NIH, so I've just started three articles:

• National Institutes of Health Clinical Research Training Program
• Foundation for the National Institutes of Health
• National Institutes of Health Common Fund

Do you know anyone at NIH that might be willing to review completed articles or offer me guidance on content or sources as I go? Ideally, I'm looking for someone with a good grasp of NIH's structure, history and functions, whose job description covers this kind of thing. If you can't think of anyone, is there someone at NIH with overall responsibility for their online presence that I could talk to about this? --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 13:23, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - as you may have noticed, the {{unreviewed}} tag was already removed. I'm not positive, but I'm fairly sure it would have been fine for you to do that once it was reviewed. Heck, there's probably a bot for the purpose.

Thanks for the links to PubMed Health, new site to me. Read through the wisdom teeth pages [8] and [9]. Wanted to send on some feedback - not sure if this is a good place or not, if not - please ignore. The "Wisdom teeth: is it better to take them out" is out of date (reflects an older Cochrane study?) and refers to a 1% permanent sensory nerve injury rate (overestimate, from the majority of literature). The fact sheet refers to paracetamol (North Americans' are unlikely to know what this is) and "paralysis around the tooth" (motor nerve impairment) which is not a complication of the surgery. Finally, the fact sheet states, "Impacted wisdom teeth do not cause problems for most people." but I don't think the statement is based on longitudinal studies where impacted wisdom teeth that communicate with the mouth are retained (which, generally, show a progressive age-correlated periodontitis and resorption on the adjacent teeth). It appears the statement is based on the RCT which either removed or retained the teeth. I wasn't sure if this is something that gets updated frequently (or if something you would normally look at), but I thought I'd type. Ian Furst (talk) 02:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a minute, can you take a look at the plain language summary for intervention review on dentin hypersensitivity. I need to put a summary in the article on toothache in the prognosis section. When I read the review, it states that the meta-analysis shows 6 studies met criteria, all six showed objective improvements in hypersensitivity. Three of six, assessed subjective improvement in hypersensitivity and none found any difference. The PL summary reads, "This review of trials found there was not enough evidence to show that potassium is effective in desensitising teeth. More research is needed." without reference to the objective assessments. Do you think we should be including a short statement about the effect? Something like "The authors from a Cochrane review concluded that there was a decrease in sensitivity when tested with dental instruments or blasts of cold air, but subjectively the patients found no difference with the use of the toothpaste" or does the lack of data preclude us from stating a conclusion regarding objective assessment. Thank you for any help. Ian Furst (talk) 01:32, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated an article of yours for DYK at Template:Did you know nominations/Louise Nixon Sutton. The main page and Wikipedia itself are severely lacking on the percentage of women articles, much less African-American women articles. SL93 (talk) 22:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! If it's not too old, this one I did in the last week of March is more a DYK candidate: Carolyn Parker.Hildabast (talk) 22:15, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Thyrsa Frazier Svager at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 05:46, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it's not clear why you did a review on a DYK nomination that another editor was in the middle of. As you can see, he noted that no QPQ was done, yet you went ahead and approved it. We need more help with reviews; please choose one that someone else hasn't started next time. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Yoninah, I didn't realize when I started, that that was the case. I'm still finding the setup confusing. I'll be more careful. Hildabast (talk) 02:01, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Hildablast, thanks for your message. We have a time difference, so I'm responding now.

• Yes, those "Reviewed" lines on the nomination template indicate the QPQ that the nominator is submitting with his/her hook.
• Regarding your review of Template:Did you know nominations/My Brother's Husband, you covered newness, length, and referencing, but do not mention neutrality or close paraphrasing. Here are the five main DYK criteria that need to be checked. Neutrality means the article is written without being pro or against the subject, and is not promotional. Close paraphrasing means that lines haven't been lifted from the sources; you can check close paraphrasing with this tool (I inserted the page name already, and made sure to un-click "Use search engine" so the tool will only check the sources in the Wikipedia article, not on the whole Web).
• The QPQ submitted for this nomination is not complete; it does not cover all five criteria. I put a notice on that QPQ review (in future, as the reviewer, you could do that, too).
• You put the notification template on the DYK review itself. It should be placed on the nominator's talk page. (I did that for you, too.)
• If you suggest a new hook that includes new hook facts, you need to ask for another reviewer to complete the review, using the red icon at the bottom of the list: {{subst:DYK?again}}. (You can still claim it as one of your QPQs, though.) But if you just suggest rewriting/shortening/combining hook facts that the nominator has suggested, you can complete the review.
• Best, Yoninah (talk) 08:03, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ms. Bastian. Just been looking through recently created articles and I've noticed that you're not marked as autopatrolled, so your articles go in the review queue. I can see you know what you're doing, so would you be willing to be nominated to be autopatrolled to save time? Happy to make the nomination for you if you want.

Hi Hildabast, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 19:07, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Dear Ms Bastian

My name is Cordula Matthias, and I am a collaborator and friend of Dr. Lloyd Demetrius. Since you were so kind as to add the title of his dissertation, I would like to ask you if you could also update the photo in his Wikipedia entrance. It is over 50 years old, and does not represent the mature person he is now. He would be very grateful if you could replace it by the photo on his Harvard website (https://mcz.harvard.edu/people/lloyd-demetrius).

Thank you very much in advance and best wishes

                                               Cordula Matthias  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CF:71B:B023:2C01:5E70:78DB:1ABB (talk) 22:08, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply] 

Hello - I would be happy to add a photo, but the copyright of that one is unclear to me. To be used on Wikipedia, the photo should be in Wikimedia Commons, which means it needs to be copyright-free. Hildabast (talk) 01:23, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ms. Bastian

Now you will find a recent photo in Wiki Commons.

Thank you very much in advance for your efforts!

Best wishes

Thank you - done! Hildabast (talk) 23:12, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ms. Bastian

Thank you very much indeed for updating the photo on Lloyd Demetrius' Wikipedia site! - However, there is one last request: It was felt that one photo was sufficient, and that the topical one in that big format seemed to dominate the scientific content of the site. Could that be amended?

I apologize for bothering you again.

With best regards

                 Cordula Matthias  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CF:71B:B0BC:2829:B920:BD24:DD7 (talk) 11:05, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply] 

I reduced the size of the main photo, but I left both of them there. Seeing a person at different ages is great. Hildabast (talk) 11:49, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ms. Bastian

Thank you very much for adjusting the size of the more recent photo of Lloyd Demetrius. - Concerning keeping the 50 year old photo: Two portraits at different ages would be very unusual for a Wikipedia site of a scientist. Wouldn't that distract from the purpose of the site, to inform about scientific accomplishments?

Warm regards

               Cordula Matthias  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CF:71B:B0BC:2829:B920:BD24:DD7 (talk) 23:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply] 

No, it's not unusual to have multiple photos, if they are available (see for example Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein). No, the purpose of Wikipedia biographies is not to focus only on professional lives. Hildabast (talk) 00:05, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the comparisons you make are very flattering ;-), - though a bit out of proportion.

Best wishes

You may like to sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members where others will be able to see your interest.

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!
